SERVICE AREA

General contractor in Alhambra, CA

Our biggest recent job in Alhambra was a whole-house remodel we took from the design consultation, architectural plans and structural engineering through a new roof, re-pipe and rewire to the finishes. Alhambra's permitting is fully online, and its ADU rules are among the more generous in the valley.

Building in Alhambra: what to know.

Two portals, no paper

Applications, payments and inspections go through the city's Permit Portal, and plans are uploaded through a separate Plan Check Portal.

Two-story ADUs are allowed

A detached ADU on a single-family lot can be two stories, 25 feet and up to 1,200 square feet, with 4 foot side and rear setbacks. It has to match the house's exterior materials, roof, colors and details.

Trees need a permit almost everywhere

Removing a protected tree needs a permit on every private lot, except in the side and rear yards of the RL and RM zones. Taking one down without a permit can bring a one-year ban on construction permits.

Checked October 2026. Rules and fees change, so we confirm the current requirements with Alhambra Community Development at the start of every job.
