Nestled between Stanford University and the tech giants of Silicon Valley, Palo Alto is no ordinary city — and Shefer Builder is no ordinary contractor. We are a licensed, bonded, and insured general contractor with over 17 years of experience transforming homes in one of California’s most design-conscious and innovation-driven communities.
From Crescent Park to Midtown, we specialize in custom home additions, ADUs, garage conversions, kitchen remodels, and bathroom renovations, all thoughtfully designed to complement the distinct charm and zoning requirements of Palo Alto neighborhoods.
Custom Home Additions in Palo Alto
Adding to your home in Palo Alto means more than expanding square footage — it’s about preserving architectural integrity, increasing long-term property value, and navigating some of the most detailed planning processes in the Bay Area.
We design and build seamless additions that blend into Palo Alto’s eclectic mix of Craftsman, Eichler, Mediterranean, and contemporary homes. Whether you’re expanding for a growing family or adding a home office or guest suite, we ensure every detail fits your vision — and the city’s development standards.
ADU Construction in Palo Alto
Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) are a smart solution for Palo Alto homeowners looking to optimize their property for multigenerational living, remote work, or passive income.
With high demand for additional living spaces in Palo Alto’s competitive housing market, we provide end-to-end ADU construction services — from architectural design and permitting to final inspection. Our team is fluent in both California state ADU laws and Palo Alto’s local ordinances, helping you navigate the process smoothly and compliantly.
Garage Conversions in Palo Alto
Unused garages are a missed opportunity — especially in Palo Alto, where every square foot counts.
We specialize in garage conversions that transform underutilized spaces into high-functioning guest houses, art studios, or work-from-home sanctuaries. With a focus on energy efficiency, insulation, and modern design, we help Palo Alto homeowners make the most of their lot without compromising aesthetics or comfort.
Kitchen Remodeling in Palo Alto
In a city where design meets innovation, your kitchen should do more than cook — it should inspire.
We offer high-end kitchen remodels tailored to the Palo Alto lifestyle, whether you’re restoring a classic Eichler or modernizing a historic home near Professorville. Our services include layout optimization, custom cabinetry, luxury appliance integration, smart lighting, and premium countertops — all with a clean, functional design that supports both form and flow.
Bathroom Remodeling in Palo Alto
Your bathroom should be a reflection of your style and a retreat from the pace of Silicon Valley life.
We remodel bathrooms to maximize space, enhance comfort, and add long-lasting value, all while staying true to the architectural spirit of your home. Whether it’s a minimalist master bath with radiant floor heating or a stylish upgrade to a shared hallway bathroom, we blend craftsmanship and quality materials to deliver elegance and efficiency.
