Fast, Reliable Home Remodeling Across Sunnyvale
Home remodeling in Sunnyvale means opening up homes built during the orchard boom of the 1950s and 60s, and what you find behind those walls changes the scope and the price. We know that going in. Viceroy Construction runs remodels across all four Sunnyvale ZIP codes, 94085 through 94087, with inspection-first pricing, written change orders, and one contractor accountable for every trade. Call (877) 358-6557 to schedule a free estimate, and we’ll walk the site before quoting numbers.
Why Viceroy Construction Is Sunnyvale’s Preferred Home Remodeling Company
Sunnyvale homeowners keep calling Viceroy because we treat the unknown as part of the plan, not a surprise. Remodelers who quote off the old footprint without opening a wall are guessing. We write allowances for the wiring, framing, and waterproofing fixes this housing stock almost always needs, so a change order is a decision, not a shock.
Neil Drummond runs the job personally. That means one point of contact from tearout through final inspection, whether you’re on a small orchard lot off Hollenbeck Avenue or a cul-de-sac in 94087. A contract with Viceroy is a contract with the guy accountable when the inspector walks through.
We work with over fifty nationally recognized brands across cabinetry, countertops, plumbing, roofing, windows, doors, and hardscaping, which means we’re not sending you to three different showrooms to pick finishes. And our response time to Sunnyvale is measured in days, not weeks, because we keep crews on the Peninsula.
Styles & brands we work with
Whole House Remodel in Sunnyvale
A whole house remodel in Sunnyvale usually means gutting a post-and-beam ranch or Eichler-style home, reworking the layout, upgrading systems, and finishing every surface under one contract. In the 94085 and 94086 ZIPs especially, we’re into homes where the single-pane glass, cloth-wrapped wiring, and shallow slabs are all original. The work typically runs $45,000 to $130,000 depending on square footage and what the walls reveal, though most mid-century remodels in Sunnyvale land in the $60,000 to $90,000 range by the time permits, engineering, and finish materials are accounted for.
Structural and Systems Upgrades
When walls come open on a 1950s tract home, the code triggers that we and the building department both expect: electrical to current ampacity, shear at the load-bearing headers, and waterproofing at the slab. We price these as allowances in the contract, then convert them to written change orders with photos and line items before doing the work.
Layout and Finish Scope
Most whole house remodels in Sunnyvale open the kitchen to the living space, add a bathroom, or rework the back of the house to connect with the yard. Finish scope is where brand selection saves time. Cabinetry from KraftMaid or Wellborn, counters from Cambria, Silestone, or Caesarstone, and plumbing from Kohler, Grohe, or Toto get specified once instead of triple-bid.
Luxury Home Remodeling in Sunnyvale
Luxury home remodeling in Sunnyvale means high-end finishes, custom millwork, engineered stone, and whole-home systems, and it regularly runs $100,000 to $250,000 on this side of the Valley. The old orchard parcels in 94087 are being turned into modern estates, but plenty of owners keep the original shell and rebuild the interior to a standard that matches the new value. We specify Silestone and Caesarstone surfaces, Grohe and Toto fixtures, and custom cabinetry without the markup games a design-build firm tacks on.
High-End Kitchen and Bath Packages
A luxury kitchen remodel in Sunnyvale, with full custom cabinetry, a stone waterfall island, and premium plumbing fixtures, lands between $45,000 and $130,000. Luxury baths with curbless walk-in showers, heated floors, and wall-hung Toto toilets typically run $25,000 to $60,000. Every line item is written before work starts.
ADU and Addition Integration
Luxury remodels on Sunnyvale lots frequently include a second-story addition or an ADU, and that’s where our structural capability matters. A second story over a post-and-beam ranch on a shallow slab requires engineered plans Sunnyvale’s reviewers will insist on, and we handle the Title 24 energy modeling in the same scope. ADU construction runs $90,000 to $220,000, and we can deliver it through Abodu, Dvele, or a conventional stick-build depending on the site.
Trusted Brands We Service in Sunnyvale
Viceroy Construction installs and services products from the brands Sunnyvale homeowners actually ask for. For outdoor and hardscape work on those orchard lots, we work with Belgard and Unilock pavers for driveways, patios, and walkways, and with Bufftech and ActiveYards for vinyl and aluminum fencing. Local supply access means we can source replacement panels or matching materials from Peninsula yards faster than a big-box order. When we specify a brand, it’s because we know how it performs on this housing stock and in this climate, and because our crews have installed it before.

AfterCommon Home Remodeling Problems We See in Sunnyvale Homes
- Outdated wiring behind original drywall. Cloth-wrapped and ungrounded circuits are still common in 1950s and 60s tract homes, and Sunnyvale inspectors require current code before any wall closes. We price the rewire as an allowance upfront.
- Undersized framing at load-bearing headers. Many original ranch homes were built to lighter standards than today’s code, especially where interior walls were moved decades ago. Our crews size and replace headers before rough-in inspection.
- Failed waterproofing at shower pans and slab edges. Shallow slabs and decades of ground moisture mean we routinely find rot at bottom plates and failed pan membranes. We treat waterproofing as a full system, not a patch.
- Post-and-beam roof limitations for additions. Eichler-style and post-and-beam roofs lack attic depth for new mechanicals, so any second-story or ADU tie-in demands engineered plans. We bring the structural engineer into scope before we quote the addition.

FAQs About Home Remodeling in Sunnyvale
A quote moves because Sunnyvale’s 1950s and 60s tract homes almost always hide outdated wiring, undersized framing, or failed waterproofing behind the drywall, and the building department requires those to be fixed before inspection passes. We handle this by writing allowances into the contract, then converting each fix into a priced, photographed change order you approve in writing before we touch it. Call (877) 358-6557 for a quote built around a real inspection, not a guess.
Yes, you need engineered plans for a second-story addition on an Eichler or post-and-beam ranch in Sunnyvale, because the shallow slab and post-and-beam roof weren’t designed for a second floor and the city’s reviewers will require structural calculations and Title 24 energy modeling before issuing a permit. We bring the structural engineer into the scope before quoting the addition, so the plan set is ready when we submit. Call (877) 358-6557 to talk through your lot and what’s feasible.
We pull permits with the City of Sunnyvale before work starts, and we manage every inspection from rough-in through final sign-off as the general contractor of record. On whole house remodels, that means electrical, plumbing, structural, and energy compliance are all under our responsibility, not split across three subs who point fingers. Get the permit path mapped during a free estimate: call (877) 358-6557.
A kitchen remodel in Sunnyvale runs $14,000 to $45,000, and a bathroom remodel runs $9,000 to $28,000, with small kitchens starting around $9,000 and small baths around $5,000. The spread depends on whether you’re doing a cabinet-and-counter refresh or a full gut with structural and electrical work. The estimate is free, and we’ll price both ends of your scope before you sign. Call (877) 358-6557.
On small orchard lots we protect the existing structure, the neighbors’ property lines, and the site access before demolition starts, because a 5,000-square-foot lot off El Camino Real doesn’t have room for material laydown or a misplaced dumpster. We fence the perimeter, keep debris contained, and stage deliveries on schedule so materials don’t sit in a neighbor’s driveway. For a site-specific protection plan, call (877) 358-6557 and we’ll walk the lot with you.
