Fast, Reliable General Contractor Across Mountain View
When a Mountain View homeowner needs a General Contractor who understands Eichler retrofits, tight infill lots, and City of Mountain View permit timelines, the job changes fast. We’ve been on both sides of this city: the west-side ranch tracts with radiant slab plumbing and low-slope roofs, and the newer mid-rise scopes near downtown and North Bayshore. You get one crew, one point of contact, and a written quote before anything gets torn open. Call (877) 358-6557 and we’ll walk the site with you.
Why Viceroy Construction Is Mountain View’s Preferred General Contractor Company
Mountain View’s housing stock is mostly late-1940s through 1960s ranch and Eichler-style homes, which means almost every remodel hits something the original builder never planned for. Post-and-beam walls hide plumbing retrofits from three different decades. Radiant floor slabs with copper loops sit inches below where you want a new kitchen island. We know these failure points because we’ve opened them up in Waverly Park, Monta Loma, and across the 94040, 94041, 94042, and 94043 ZIP codes.
Our reputation in Mountain View comes from showing up when the plan-check says no, or when the scan finds copper under the footing line, and solving it without the homeowner chasing three trades. Neil Drummond leads every project scope with that same expectation: identify the real constraint before the first dumpster gets dropped. That’s why homeowners here keep our number. Not because we say we’re thorough. Because the inspection record and change-order log prove it.
Styles & brands we work with
Hire a General Contractor in Mountain View
Hire a General Contractor in Mountain View when the scope touches more than one trade, and the lot won’t forgive a loose plan. Most of the city’s ranch homes sit on 5,000 to 6,000 square foot lots, and the west-side Eichlers in Waverly Park and Monta Loma often share side-yard setbacks with neighbors walls close enough to hear a hammer drop. A home addition in Mountain View runs $45,000 to $130,000. An ADU build typically lands between $90,000 and $220,000 depending on whether you go a conventional stick-frame scope or a prefab system through Abodu, Dvele, or Mighty Buildings.
Radiant Slab Handling on Eichler Lots
Before we trench for a new kitchen drain or footing, we scan the slab. Original 1950s copper radiant piping runs where no as-built drawing shows it. Hand-digging the first two feet across the work zone is standard on these homes, and a punctured line is a job-stopping repair that no one wants mid-demo.
Party-Wall Notice and Neighbor Relations
When a wall sits close to the neighbor’s structure, we post written party-wall notice before any heavy demo starts. It’s a simple step that keeps the project legal and the neighbor from calling the city over noise or vibration complaints.
General Contractor Services in Mountain View
General Contractor Services in Mountain View cover the full run from kitchen and bath remodels to whole-home updates, reroofing, exterior siding, paver driveways, and ADU or garage conversion scopes. A kitchen remodel here runs $14,000 to $45,000, while a full garage conversion lands between $30,000 and $80,000. What makes Mountain View work different is sequencing: City of Mountain View plan-check for structural or plumbing changes can stretch weeks longer than nearby cities, so we file rough-in permits the same week the scope is signed.
Full Remodel Coordination
We run the schedule, the material deliveries, and the inspections under one contract. Kohler, Grohe, and GAF products show up on time because we order them in sequence, not all at once to sit in the driveway.
Reroofing for Low-Slope Eichler Designs
Many Mountain View ranch homes have low-slope or built-up roofs that need specific membrane and flashing details before the fall rains. Our roofing scopes include dry-rot repair and drainage corrections, because a reroof on these houses is rarely just shingles.

Trusted Brands We Service in Mountain View
Viceroy Construction pulls from a material board that includes Sterling plumbing fixtures, Grohe faucets and shower systems, GAF and CertainTeed roofing, and James Hardie siding. For Mountain View homeowners, that means we are not sending you to a showroom across town to pick products. Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone slabs are available for kitchen and bath scopes at multiple price points, and our cabinet lines include KraftMaid and Wellborn. Because we keep common trim, flashing, and fixture parts on the truck for service calls across 94040 through 94043, turnover on change-outs is faster than waiting on a specialty sub.

AfterCommon General Contractor Problems We See in Mountain View Homes
- Punctured copper radiant piping in Eichler slabs: A trencher or excavator bucket hits the original 1950s copper loop under the floor, and the job stops for an emergency repair. We scan before any trench or footing cut on Waverly Park and Monta Loma homes, then hand-dig the zone.
- Dry rot at roof-to-wall transitions on low-slope roofs: Mountain View’s wet winters push water into old flashing details, and by spring the fascia is soft. We open the affected area before reroofing so new shingles don’t get nailed over rot.
- Staging conflicts on tight downtown and North Bayshore lots: Materials end up in a neighbor’s driveway or the sidewalk, and the city or neighbor rightfully complains. We size the dumpster to the setback and stage only what the day’s crew needs.
- Verbally agreed scope without a written allowance list: By punch list, the homeowner and the last sub disagree on what was included. We write every allowance and change order in the contract before work resumes, so there’s a paper trail for inspection and final billing.

FAQs About General Contractor in Mountain View
We stage materials in the driveway only and schedule deliveries for the day they’re needed, not a week ahead. The dumpster gets sized to the side setback so the neighbor’s driveway stays clear. On extremely tight infill lots downtown or near North Bayshore, we coordinate a staging permit if the city requires one for sidewalk or lane use. Call (877) 358-6557 and we’ll walk your lot to tell you exactly what fits.
Yes. Every Waverly Park and Monta Loma Eichler gets a pre-construction slab scan before any trench or footing cut. The original copper radiant piping sits shallow and undocumented, and a single excavator hit turns a planned remodel into an emergency slab repair. Hand-digging the first two feet is standard on those lots.
City of Mountain View plan-check for structural, electrical, and plumbing scopes runs longer than most neighboring cities, sometimes adding two to four weeks before rough-in can start. We file rough-in permits the week the contract is signed and sequence the work so demo doesn’t sit open while the city reviews drawings. For a free estimate that accounts for permit lead time, call (877) 358-6557.
Party-wall notice is a written heads-up delivered to the adjacent owner before we do heavy demo, foundation cuts, or structural work near their wall. It documents the scope, the expected vibration and noise, and our contact if they have concerns. It’s a standard step on Mountain View ranch lots where side-yard setbacks can put a footing within a few feet of the neighbor’s house.
A home addition in Mountain View typically runs $45,000 to $130,000, and an ADU construction scope lands between $90,000 and $220,000. The spread depends on whether you’re building stick-frame or going prefab through Abodu, Dvele, or Boxabl, plus what the slab, lot access, and City of Mountain View permit conditions require. We quote both paths in writing so you can compare. Call (877) 358-6557 for a free, line-item estimate.
We ran a kitchen-and-addition scope on a low-slope Eichler in Waverly Park where the pre-scan flagged copper radiant piping under the planned footing line. Our crew hand-dug the trench and re-routed the slab loop before any pour. The lot was tight and the neighbor’s wall sat close, so we posted party-wall notice, staged materials in the driveway only, and kept demo debris in a single dumpster sized to the setback. We wrote the radiant reroute as a change order in writing before work resumed, and the inspection sign-off cleared rough-in ahead of the fall rains.
Call (877) 358-6557 to schedule your free estimate in Mountain View. We’ll walk the lot, check the slab, and give you a written line-item quote before you spend a dollar.
