Unincorporated hillside homes above Redwood City, permitted through San Mateo County.
CSLB #1158657Serving Emerald Hills from our San Mateo officeDesign, drawings & permits included
Emerald Hills is an unincorporated community in the hills west of Redwood City. Because it isn't a city, building permits come from San Mateo County rather than a city hall, which surprises some homeowners.
We remodel kitchens and bathrooms in Emerald Hills, plan larger whole-home projects, and handle the County permit application as part of the job.
Housing context
Homes here are often on sloped, wooded lots with winding streets. Site access, drainage and trees are typical early questions.

Emerald Hills questions
Who issues my permit?
San Mateo County's Planning and Building Department, because Emerald Hills is unincorporated. We prepare and submit the application.
Does the slope matter for an interior remodel?
Mostly for logistics: parking, deliveries and debris. Additions on slopes raise structural and drainage questions too.
Are there tree rules?
San Mateo County regulates the removal of some trees. We plan around significant trees where we can.
Is my road a problem?
Narrow streets limit truck size. We plan deliveries accordingly.
Emerald Hills / Design & permits
Design, drawings and permits for Emerald Hills
Every Emerald Hills project we take on includes design, the drawing set and the permit filing with the San Mateo County Planning and Building Department. Architectural services by our in-house licensed architect are available for additions and other work that needs them, so one team carries the Emerald Hills job from first sketch to final inspection.

Yes. We prepare the drawings and submit them to San Mateo County as part of the project.
Which R&B office covers Emerald Hills?
