Remodeling Company in Lexington Hills, CA
Home renovation in Lexington Hills means working with steep canyon lots, wildfire defensibility rules, and unincorporated Santa Cruz County permitting rather than a flat suburban grid. Viceroy Construction has served Lexington Hills since 2017, handling everything from mid-century cabin updates to full hillside additions under one contract. If you’re planning a kitchen, bath, or whole-home renovation here, call (877) 358-6557 for a free estimate.
Why Lexington Hills Homes Are Different
Lexington Hills sits off Highway 17 between Los Gatos and Santa Cruz, and the terrain dictates nearly every material and method decision on a project. Homes here are a mix of mid-century mountain cabins, ranch houses set on graded slopes, and later custom hillside builds with well and septic systems. Many structures are aging, and a remodel in ZIP 95031 almost always exposes foundation, drainage, or retaining-wall work tied directly to the slope.
The climate compounds the challenge. Heavy winter rain saturates hillsides, occasional snow hits higher elevations, and summer brings elevated wildfire risk. That means fire-resistant roofing and siding, erosion control, and pre-rainy-season drainage work are not optional add-ons here. They are baseline scope. Cal Fire’s wildland-urban interface rules shape material choices, and narrow, winding private roads affect how crews and equipment reach a job site at all.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Lexington Hills Services
Two services dominate what Lexington Hills homeowners call us about: full general contracting on complex hillside projects, and whole-home remodeling that accounts for terrain, septic, and fire-clearance constraints from day one.
General Contractor in Lexington Hills
Steep lots and county permitting make Lexington Hills a place where general contractor oversight is not a convenience. It is the difference between a coordinated sequence and a stalled site. We own scheduling, quality control, and inspection coordination across every trade, from foundation and retaining work through finish carpentry. When a remodel exposes slope issues mid-project, you have one point of contact, not a chain of subs pointing fingers. Learn more about General Contractor in Lexington Hills.
Home Remodeling in Lexington Hills
Remodeling a hillside home in Lexington Hills means working with what the mountain gives you: uneven floors from decades of settling, drainage that runs toward the foundation instead of away from it, and county requirements for fire-safe materials on any exterior surface. We plan for all of it before tearout begins, so the project does not stall at inspection. Whether it’s a kitchen, a primary bath, or a whole-home refresh, the scope is managed under one contract. See how we approach Home Remodeling in Lexington Hills.

Home Renovation in Lexington Hills
Home renovation in Lexington Hills is rarely a cosmetic exercise. Aging mountain cabins on graded slopes, wildfire code requirements, and drainage pressures from the coastal-influenced mountain climate mean most renovations here expose structural, water-management, or fire-safety work that valley homes never encounter. Viceroy Construction handles the full scope, from tearout through county inspection, under one contract. That single-contractor accountability is the core of our Home Renovation service.
Home Renovation Contractors
Signs you need it
You notice sagging floors on the downhill side of the house, water staining around window heads after heavy rain, or a kitchen and bath layout that no longer works for how you actually live.
What it costs in Lexington Hills
Full home renovation in Lexington Hills typically runs $45,000 – $130,000 depending on whether the project touches one floor or requires foundation, retaining, and septic work.
How we do it
We start with a site walk to map slope, drainage, and fire-clearance conditions, then produce a written line-item quote and manage every trade through county inspection.
Home Improvement Contractors
Signs you need it
Your home has deferred maintenance stacking up, outdated materials that no longer meet fire-safe standards, or rooms that need functional upgrades rather than a full gut.
What it costs in Lexington Hills
Scoped home improvement projects in Lexington Hills typically fall between $14,000 and $45,000, depending on how many rooms and systems the work touches.
How we do it
We bundle the improvements into one permit package where possible, sequence trades to minimize site downtime, and handle county inspection coordination from start to finish.
Home Renovation Companies
Signs you need it
You are comparing multiple bids and noticing that some companies will not touch slope, septic, or wildfire-adjacent scope, leaving you to coordinate the gaps yourself.
What it costs in Lexington Hills
A kitchen remodel as the anchor of a larger renovation starts at $14,000 and can reach $45,000 in Lexington Hills depending on cabinetry, countertop, and structural scope.
How we do it
We price the entire scope, including the unglamorous hillside work that other bids exclude, so you compare real totals instead of teaser numbers.

How long does a home renovation take in Lexington Hills?

Does Viceroy handle the county permits for a Lexington Hills renovation?
Yes. We prepare and submit the plans, manage Cal Fire and county review comments, and stay on-site through every required inspection. You are not left chasing the building department or interpreting redlines. Call (877) 358-6557 to discuss your scope.

FAQs About Remodeling Company in Lexington Hills
Yes. Lexington Hills is not a city, so permits run through Santa Cruz County’s building department, plus Cal Fire review for anything touching exterior materials or defensible space. We handle the full submittal, the comments, and every inspection, so you are never the go-between.
Yes, and if your remodel adds a bedroom or changes plumbing scope, the county may require septic or well evaluation as part of the permit. We bring that into the plan early rather than discovering it as a surprise change order mid-project.
Book by late spring or early summer. Exterior work, drainage, and roofing in Lexington Hills need to be done before the winter rain saturates the hillsides and turns a grading project into a mud problem. Interior work can run year-round, but exterior scope should be sequenced deliberately. Call (877) 358-6557 to schedule your free estimate.
