Serving the Los Gatos community
Los Gatos is not a place you remodel with a template. We build around the home you have.
Local expertise you can trust
Los Gatos pairs a historic downtown with hillside neighborhoods at the base of the Santa Cruz Mountains. We know how the older homes here were built and what they need to feel current without losing their character.
Planned for older and hillside homes
Sloped lots, decades-old wiring and plumbing, and framing that predates current code are the norm here. We find those things during design, not during demolition, so the schedule and budget hold.
One team, start to finish
Design, 3D planning, permitting through the Town of Los Gatos, and the build itself all run through us. You get one point of contact for the whole project.
Built to last, backed in writing
We are licensed and insured under CSLB 1142220 and back our labor with a warranty. Financing is available through third parties, with discounts for senior citizens and veterans.
Common remodeling considerations in Los Gatos
A few things that shape almost every Los Gatos project we take on:
- Established housing stock. Many homes date back generations and hide surprises behind the walls. We plan for updated systems from day one.
- Hillside and sloped lots. Access, grading and drainage all affect additions and outdoor builds above town. We design with them in mind.
- Permitting and review. We manage permits and inspections through the Town of Los Gatos as part of the job.
- Character worth keeping. The goal is a home that feels updated and still feels like yours, not a gut-and-replace that erases what made it special.

All about Los Gatos, CA
Los Gatos sits at the southwestern edge of Silicon Valley in Santa Clara County, where the valley floor meets the Santa Cruz Mountains along Highway 17. Its walkable historic downtown, tree-lined streets and hillside homes give the town a character that is distinctly its own within the wider Bay Area. Downtown Los Gatos runs along Santa Cruz Avenue and Main Street, and the neighborhoods around Oak Meadow Park and Vasona Park sit near the geographic middle of town.
That mix of older downtown houses, mid-century neighborhoods and newer hillside builds is exactly why remodeling here rewards a builder who works with each home rather than around it. From kitchens and baths to full renovations and outdoor living space, Avis Builders and Design helps Los Gatos homeowners get more out of the homes they already love.
