Award Winning Mountain View Remodeling Team

Nestled between the Santa Cruz Mountains and San Francisco Bay, Mountain View is a modern diverse community, ideally located in the heart of the Silicon Valley (10 miles north of San Jose and 35 miles south of San Francisco). The City is just over 12 square miles and has approximately 75,000 residents. It is proud to have a solid small business base as well as being home to many of the world’s most pioneering organizations in the field of High-Tech, Biotech, and Telecommunications.

While Mountain View is keeping pace with new ideas and innovations, the City is made up of a variety of distinct and strong organized neighborhoods such as Blossom Valley, Waverly Park, Whisman Station, Rex Manor, Cuesta Park, and many more (roughly 20), each with its own distinct personalities, traditional values and community involvement that help creates a city that is rich with diversity.

Homeowners will find that the schools offer wide levels of curriculum in both public and private settings with extremely high ranking test scores and varied extracurricular opportunities for the K-12 . The City’s extensive park system not only provides an outstanding array of neighborhood parks, but it also includes an innovative regional park. Shoreline at Mountain View is built along San FranciscoBay and features an 18-hole golf course, a sailing lake, concert venue, wild life interpretive trail and more. The Civic Center, built around downtown’s Pioneer Park, has one of the finest theater facilities in Northern California as well as a 60,000 square foot state-of-the-art library.

Moutain View CA Home Remodel Project Description

This two story 3300 square foot home was built in 1991. It was spacious and the footprint of the home was perfect for the family of four, however, in need of updating and improvement of the flow. The floor plan was broken up into several small rooms making the circulation poor.

The main focus of this remodel was to create an open floor layout, maintaining the original footprint while improving the flow between the kitchen, dining room, study area and family room. In the kitchen we replaced out dated appliances, cabinets, counter tops and fixtures. The cook top was moved from the island to the back wall creating a strong focal point and provided additional counter space. The former wet bar was converted into a workspace and study area for the kids. The master bath was also transformed from an outdated bathroom with oak cabinets, chrome fixtures and white tile with dark grout and dull and inefficient lighting to an elegant spa getaway. We began with replacing the enclosed set-in tub to a Whirlpool freestanding tub. The chrome encased shower was replaced with a frameless shower, enabling them to view the shower accent of Akdo Carrara marble mosaic stones.

All natural Stone, Carrara honed marble tile floors and White Princess polished Granite together with the custom dark walnut cabinets made for a dramatic contrast. Added touches such as the chandelier and rain frosted windows added to the classic and serene ambiance. The little girls room upstairs was a typical sized bedroom without much character. The high ceilings that existed above the closet resulted in dead space and was not finished off for additional storage. The client used their own vision and creativity as an opportunity to build a loft area in which her daughter could express herself and have a space that is all her own.

“We are thrilled with the final results of our project. This was our second whole house remodel but first with Hammerschmidt and the differences between the two projects are pronounced. Our experiences with Hammerschmidt were a pleasure from start to finish and the process was remarkably smooth.”
