Comprehensive home remodeling in Sunnyvale

From a single room to a whole-house renovation, we handle the full scope in-house instead of handing you between trades. Explore the work we do for Sunnyvale homeowners:

Serving the Sunnyvale community

Sunnyvale is not a place you remodel with a template. We build around the home you have.

Local expertise you can trust

Sunnyvale is one of the denser residential cities in the valley, with a strong share of mid-century modern homes, including whole tracts of Eichlers. We know how these houses were built and what they need.

Planned for Eichlers and mid-century homes

Post-and-beam framing, flat or low-slope roofs, and walls of glass make an Eichler special and unforgiving. We modernize the systems and finishes while keeping the open, light-filled feeling.

One team, start to finish

Design, 3D planning, permitting through the City of Sunnyvale, 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 Sunnyvale

A few things that shape almost every Sunnyvale project we take on:

  • Eichler and mid-century homes. Post-and-beam framing and radiant slabs need care. We plan updates that keep the open Eichler feel while bringing insulation and systems up to how people live now.
  • Flat and low-slope roofs. Many Sunnyvale homes carry the flat rooflines of the era. Additions and outdoor structures get designed to match that shape, not fight it.
  • Dated systems in older tracts. Original panels, single-pane glass and thin insulation are common. We plan those upgrades during design so the budget holds.
  • Permitting and inspections. We manage permits and inspections through the City of Sunnyvale as part of the job.

All about Sunnyvale, CA

Sunnyvale sits in the heart of Silicon Valley in Santa Clara County, bordered by Mountain View to the northwest, Santa Clara to the east and Cupertino to the south. US-101 and CA-237 run along its bay side, CA-85 crosses the west of the city, and El Camino Real, signed as CA-82, carries its main commercial strip. Downtown Sunnyvale centers on historic Murphy Avenue, and the neighborhoods around Las Palmas Park, Ortega Park and Raynor Park make up much of the city’s residential core.

Sunnyvale is known for dense, well-kept neighborhoods and its mid-century housing, from ranch tracts to the Eichlers that give whole streets their look. That housing stock 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, Avis Builders and Design helps Sunnyvale homeowners get more from the homes they already own.
