Home Remodeling in Broadmoor, CA: What It Costs and What to Know First
Home remodeling in Broadmoor typically runs between $9,000 for a small bathroom update and $130,000 for a full home addition, with most kitchen remodels landing in the $14,000 to $45,000 range. More importantly, every project in Broadmoor requires a San Mateo County permit, not a Daly City one, and that single jurisdictional distinction catches more contractors than anything else in this small unincorporated enclave. If you’re planning a remodel here, call us at (844) 384-3361 and we’ll walk you through what your project needs before you spend a dollar.
Fast, Reliable Home Remodeling Across Broadmoor
Broadmoor is the kind of place where you know your neighbors, the fog rolls in most summer afternoons, and every house on the block dates to the same post-war building push. You don’t need a contractor who treats your 94015 address like just another stop between Colma and Daly City. You need someone who knows that Broadmoor pulls permits through San Mateo County, that the tract homes here sit on tight lots with setback rules that bite, and that the coastal moisture has been working on your exterior trim since Eisenhower was president.
We’re Workshop Contractors, and our Home Remodeling team has worked through enough Broadmoor projects to know exactly what opens up when the walls come down in these 1940s and 1950s houses. Call (844) 384-3361 to schedule a free estimate. We’ll tell you what the permit will require, what your framing can support, and what it will actually cost.

Why Workshop Contractors Is Broadmoor’s Preferred Home Remodeling Company
Broadmoor is a referral-driven market. It’s too small to hide in, and a bad remodel gets talked about over fences and at the grocery store. We’ve built our Broadmoor Unilock service reputation here the only way that works: by pulling the right permit the first time, showing up when we say we will, and leaving behind work that holds up to the fog belt’s particular punishment.
Noel Figueroa, our owner, leads every Broadmoor engagement personally. He’s the one who walks your property, reviews the San Mateo County requirements with you, and signs off on the material selections before anything gets ordered. That level of direct accountability matters when you’re spending $30,000 on a kitchen or $90,000 on an ADU.
Our single-contract model means you’re not juggling a cabinet installer, a countertop fabricator, a plumber, and a finish carpenter. One contract, one schedule, one team responsible for how every trade interacts. In Broadmoor’s small homes, where a kitchen remodel touches framing, electrical, plumbing, and often a load-bearing wall, that’s not a convenience. It’s the difference between a three-month project and a seven-month one.
Whole House Remodel in Broadmoor
A Whole House Remodel in Broadmoor usually means taking one of these post-war tract homes down to the studs in stages, or at least renovating enough of it that the house finally works as one coherent space instead of a series of rooms added and altered over seven decades. These homes were built fast in the late 1940s and 1950s, and most have been through multiple partial remodels that didn’t always respect what came before. The result is often mismatched flooring, awkward transitions, wiring that predates modern code, and a floor plan that doesn’t match how families live now.
We approach a whole house remodel as a single integrated project, not a series of separate jobs. That means we look at the roof, the siding, the windows, the insulation, the electrical panel, the plumbing, and the interior finishes as parts of one system. When we open a Broadmoor kitchen and find the same issues we’ve seen in a dozen other houses on the same block, we already know what a correct fix looks like and what it costs. A whole house remodel here typically runs between $45,000 and $130,000 depending on how far you take it, what structural work the house needs, and which materials you choose.
Structural Upgrades That Come First
In these 1950s frames, we frequently find subfloor rot from decades of fog-belt moisture, foundation settling on the old perimeter footings, and framing that was never designed for the weight of modern tile or stone. Before we install any finish material, we evaluate whether the structure can carry it. Sistering joists, adding blocking under tile floors, and reinforcing load-bearing walls before closing them up is standard practice on Broadmoor whole house remodels.
Cohesive Finishes Across the Whole House
Most Broadmoor whole house remodels stall because the materials don’t reconcile. We source and install across the board, so the Cambria countertop in the kitchen sits next to the Kohler fixtures in the bath and the James Hardie siding on the exterior all under one warranty conversation. You get one team making material decisions, not three subs making three different calls.
Luxury Home Remodeling in Broadmoor
Luxury Home Remodeling in Broadmoor is about making these modest tract homes perform far beyond their original footprint without making them feel overbuilt for their lots. These are not the sprawling estates of Hillsborough. They’re 1,200 to 1,600 square foot houses on tight parcels, and luxury here means what you touch and see every day: a walk-in shower with a Grohe thermostatic valve, a Caesarstone island that becomes the room’s anchor, a Blanco workstation sink that actually functions for the way you cook.
We’ve done luxury remodels in Broadmoor that didn’t add a single square foot but changed everything about how the house lives. The approach is different from a whole house remodel: there’s more custom cabinetry, more precise lighting design, more attention to how materials meet at transitions, and often more structural work because heavy stone and custom millwork demand more from a 70-year-old frame than builder-grade finishes ever did. Expect luxury remodels here to run from $45,000 on the low end for a focused kitchen and bath package to $130,000 or more when the scope includes a primary suite, custom built-ins, and exterior envelope work like new windows and siding.
Custom Kitchens With Substance
We build Broadmoor luxury kitchens around how the homeowners actually move through the space, not a showroom template. KraftMaid cabinetry with soft-close hardware, Cambria or Caesarstone counters in a thickness that matches the room’s scale, Kohler and Blanco fixtures chosen for durability as much as looks. The difference between a luxury kitchen and a standard one is rarely the material cost alone. It’s the precision of the rough-in, the lighting plan, and the millwork details that get lost when a contractor treats it as just another job.
Primary Bath Upgrades Done Right
The primary bath is where Broadmoor homeowners see the most dramatic return on luxury spending. Most of these houses were built with a single 5×8 bath and maybe a half bath, and the original plumbing rough-ins were not designed for walk-in showers with linear drains and rainfall heads. We handle the repipe, the waterproofing, and the tile install as one integrated scope, then install the fixtures and glass. A walk-in shower installation in Broadmoor runs $4,500 to $12,000, and that’s before the vanity, lighting, and floor tile, which is why we always price the full bath, not just the shower.
Trusted Brands We Service in Broadmoor
We carry vetted partnerships with more than 50 name-brand manufacturers, and for Broadmoor projects that means you’re choosing from real product lines with real warranty backing, not whatever was on the shelf at the supply house. For kitchens we work with KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, Cambria and Caesarstone for counters, and Kohler, Moen, Grohe, and Blanco for fixtures. On the exterior side we install GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning roofing, James Hardie siding, and PGT or Therma-Tru windows and doors. We stock common replacement parts for these brands locally, so warranty service and follow-up work in Broadmoor don’t require a six-week backorder.
Common Home Remodeling Problems We See in Broadmoor Homes
- Fog-belt moisture damage. Broadmoor’s persistent coastal dampness works into exterior trim, window sills, and any flashing that was installed wrong 40 years ago. We regularly find rot at back door thresholds and around original single-pane windows during interior remodels that had nothing to do with the exterior.
- The county-vs-city permit trap. Broadmoor is unincorporated San Mateo County, completely surrounded by Daly City. A contractor who files with Daly City out of habit gets the project red-tagged, and the homeowner waits weeks to restart the process. We pull San Mateo County permits from day one.
- 1950s framing that won’t support modern finishes. The original subfloors and joists in these tract homes were built to code minimums from 70 years ago. Tile, stone, and cast-iron tubs demand reinforcement that the original builders never anticipated. We address the structure before the finish goes down, not after the tile cracks.
- Electrical panels from the Truman era. Many Broadmoor homes still run on 60-amp or 100-amp panels that can’t support a modern kitchen with induction cooking, under-cabinet lighting, and dedicated appliance circuits. A kitchen remodel often includes a panel upgrade and rewiring that the homeowner didn’t know they needed.

AfterPricing for Home Remodeling in Broadmoor, CA
Broadmoor pricing tracks closely with the rest of San Mateo County, but there’s a local wrinkle: because these homes are older and unpermitted work from previous owners is common, we sometimes have to correct code violations before the new work can proceed. That adds cost early in the project but saves money and legal exposure later. Here’s what we see across our recent Broadmoor projects:
| Project | Typical Range |
|---|---|
| Kitchen Remodel | $14,000 – $45,000 |
| Bathroom Remodel | $9,000 – $28,000 |
| Cabinet Installation | $4,000 – $13,000 |
| Countertop Installation | $2,000 – $6,500 |
| Walk-In Shower Installation | $4,500 – $12,000 |
| Home Addition | $45,000 – $130,000 |
What moves these numbers? Structural reinforcement, permit correction work, material tier (Cambria vs. a mid-grade quartz, Kohler vs. a supply-house brand), and whether the project scope grows once walls are open. We write line-item estimates and hold to them, with written change orders if you add work mid-project. Call (844) 384-3361 for a free estimate on your specific project.
The Broadmoor Detail Most Contractors Miss
Here’s the thing about Broadmoor that separates a smooth remodel from a stalled one: every permit goes through San Mateo County, not Daly City, and the county’s inspectors enforce setback and lot-coverage rules that don’t apply the same way in surrounding incorporated cities. On a 1952 tract home off Evergreen Drive, our crew opened a galley kitchen and found the load-bearing wall had been notched by a previous DIY plumber, and the subfloor had soft spots from decades of fog-belt moisture. We pulled the county permit, sistered the joists, and installed KraftMaid cabinets with a Cambria countertop. The inspection sign-off came through clean because we’d scheduled a rough-in inspection before closing the walls, something the previous contractor had skipped. That’s the difference between knowing Broadmoor and just working in it.

FAQs About Home Remodeling in Broadmoor
San Mateo County issues the permit, always. Broadmoor is an unincorporated enclave completely surrounded by Daly City, which means county jurisdiction governs everything from a basic kitchen remodel to a full addition or ADU. A contractor who files with Daly City will get red-tagged and your project will stall. We pull San Mateo County permits on every Broadmoor job and schedule rough-in inspections before closing walls. Call (844) 384-3361 and we’ll tell you exactly what your project requires.
Start with the kitchen, because it’s the room where Broadmoor’s aging framing, outdated electrical, and dated finishes collide. We typically recommend upgrading cabinetry and counters together since the old cabinets can’t support modern stone weight without reinforcement, and replacing one without the other creates a mismatched finish. Cabinets run $4,000 to $13,000 and counters $2,000 to $6,500 in Broadmoor. After the kitchen, the primary bath is the next highest-impact upgrade. Call (844) 384-3361 and we’ll walk your house room by room.
Read your warranty document before any work begins, and notify the builder in writing before the remodel starts. Many builder warranties require that licensed contractors perform the work and that the builder be given the opportunity to inspect before walls are opened. We handle this coordination for Broadmoor clients, documenting the pre-existing condition of every surface and system so there’s no dispute later about what the remodel did versus what was already failing.
A first-round kitchen remodel in Broadmoor runs $14,000 to $45,000, and a bathroom remodel runs $9,000 to $28,000. If you tackle both together as one project, our single-contract approach usually trims 10 to 15 percent compared to running them as two separate engagements because we’re already mobilized, already permitted, and already managing the trades. Call (844) 384-3361 for a line-item estimate on your combined scope.
It depends on your specific block. Some Broadmoor pockets have active homeowners associations with architectural committees that must approve exterior changes, fences, and additions before the county will issue a permit. Others have no HOA at all and answer only to San Mateo County. We research your specific address during the estimate, identify any HOA that exists, and build their review timeline into your schedule so the HOA approval and the county permit move in parallel, not sequentially.
