What We Build
Every project follows the same proven process: design first, then build. You see full 3D renderings, select every material, and approve an itemized scope before construction starts. No surprises. No change orders.
Custom Home Design and Build is a Bay Area design-build firm specializing in custom homes, ADUs, kitchen and bathroom remodels, home additions, seismic retrofits, and commercial buildouts. We serve San Jose, Palo Alto, Los Altos, Saratoga, Mountain View, and 40+ cities across Santa Clara and San Mateo counties. Every project starts with a complete design phase: 3D visualization, material selection, and itemized line-by-line pricing before construction begins.
Custom Homes
Custom Home brings two decades of Bay Area construction expertise to every custom home. Our Phase 1/Phase 2 process means you see every detail in 3D before ground breaks, and every material itemized before a single nail is driven.

No project is too big or too small. Whether you're opening up a floor plan, updating every room, or making structural changes, our design-first process lets you see every modification before we start. The same 3D visualization and itemized scope that powers our custom homes applies to every remodel we take on.
Learn moreHome Additions
Love your neighborhood but need more space? Custom Home designs and builds home additions that blend seamlessly with your existing structure. From second-story additions to ground-floor expansions, we bring deep structural engineering expertise to every project.
Learn moreKitchen Remodeling
The kitchen is the most complex room to remodel. Every decision affects the next: cabinet layout dictates counter space, appliance placement drives electrical, plumbing constrains the sink location. Our design-first process eliminates the biggest risk in kitchen remodeling: realizing you hate the layout after the old one is torn out.
Learn moreBathroom Remodeling
A luxury bathroom is more than tile and fixtures. It's a spa-like experience built into your daily routine. Tile selection, fixture placement, lighting, and waterproofing all need to work together perfectly. Our 3D design process lets you finalize every detail before we start, so there's no mid-project tile regret or fixture swaps.
Learn moreADUs
From detached ADUs (DADUs) to attached ADUs (AADUs), junior ADUs (JADUs), and garage conversions, Custom Home has been designing and building accessory dwelling units across the Bay Area for over 20 years. Whether you need a standalone backyard unit, a connected addition, or a compact JADU within your existing home, our design phase means you see every detail in 3D and approve every cost line by line before construction begins.
Learn moreGarage Conversions
A garage conversion is the fastest and most affordable way to add functional living space to your Bay Area home. Custom Home handles everything from design and permits to construction, with the same design transparency as our custom homes.
Learn moreCommercial Buildout
Opening a business is complex enough without construction delays. Custom Home brings the same design-first process we use for residential projects to commercial buildouts. You see your space in full 3D before we start, every permit is handled in-house, and your buildout stays on the timeline your business plan depends on. We specialize in restaurants, coffee shops, cafes, karaoke bars, bars and clubs, and retail spaces.
Learn moreHotel FFE
Premium furnishings, sourced globally, installed on time. Custom Home's global sourcing network and project management expertise extends to hotel FFE. We procure and install furniture, fixtures, and equipment for hospitality projects, leveraging the same international supply chain that sources premium materials for our residential builds.
Learn moreSeismic Retrofitting
California homeowners know the next earthquake is not a question of if, but when. Seismic retrofitting strengthens the connection between your home and its foundation so the structure can withstand lateral shaking forces. Whether your home needs basic foundation bolting or a full soft-story retrofit, our licensed team handles the engineering, permitting, and construction so your family is protected and your investment is secure.
Learn moreTermite Damage Repair
Termite damage left unchecked can compromise your home's structural integrity. Once a licensed pest control company clears the infestation, Custom Home steps in to assess and repair all structural damage. We replace damaged wood members, rebuild subfloors, restore framing, and bring everything back to code. Whether you are a homeowner dealing with an unexpected discovery or a real estate agent clearing a termite report for a property transaction, we handle the construction side so the home is safe, sound, and sale-ready.
