Before you remodel

What to know about
remodeling in Millbrae.

Millbrae is developing Citywide Objective Residential Design Standards to preserve the architectural qualities of its neighborhoods, covering new construction and additions for single-family homes, ADUs, and other housing types.

The City requires all building permit applications to be submitted through its Online Permitting Portal and does not accept hard-copy applications.

ADUs under 750 square feet are exempt from Millbrae's Development Impact Fees, and the City accepts ADU plans for review and pre-approval.

Planning an ADU? Read the official Millbrae ADU information, then talk to us about your lot.

Our client chose us for a complex full-home renovation and experienced professionalism, clear communication, and exceptional attention to detail throughout every stage of the project.
