Small Home Renovations in San Mateo, CA
A small home renovation can offer big returns on investment. At Spaces Home Remodeling, we specialize in the remodeling of smaller homes. We can make your home feel larger, uncover much needed square footage, and provide creative storage solutions to accommodate your specific needs.
Our team of professionals can handle everything from design to construction. We work closely with you throughout the process and keep you updated on the timeline of your home remodel so you will never have to guess how things are going.
We also work closely with the local building and planning departments to ensure all permits are pulled and inspections are scheduled as needed.
Open-Up Your Floorplan
One problem homeowners face is dead space in their homes. This can be magnified in a smaller home. Hallways and awkward transitions can take up a lot of valuable square footage that can be better utilized when redesigned thoughtfully.
Our goal is to maximize every square foot.
Opening your floor plan by removing non-bearing walls can make your home feel larger and optimize your space. This is not only a practical option, but it can completely transform the inside of your home.
Maximize Storage Space
Smaller homes tend to be short on storage space. It is a common complaint we hear from homeowners in San Mateo. We are experts in creative, built-in storage solutions. Our aim is to expand the use of your home while also helping you keep things neat and tidy.
From the kitchen cabinets to closets to the garage, we can customize a plan and build storage that optimizes space while taking into consideration your home’s style and design.
You will be amazed at the extra space our team can uncover.
Design-Build
What makes Spaces Home Remodeling unique is our design-build approach. We have a team of professionals who work together seamlessly to streamline your renovation. Our team consists of designers, architects, engineers, and builders so we have control over our projects from start to finish.
Our goal is to design and build spaces you’ve dreamed about and to create a home you will love for years to come.

Yes. Staying at home during a renovation is very common and most of our customers do so. In addition, we do everything possible to make you and your family feel comfortable during the process.
How do we communicate with our customers during the renovation process?
During the renovation process your project manager, the home remodeling team, and builders who are involved in the remodel, will be 100% available to you.
After signing the work contract, your project manager will open a group messaging system which includes you, our office and any team members related to your project. You can use this platform to ask questions and request updates. In addition, your project manager will visit the property on a daily basis.
Our home remodeling team will arrive at the property every morning Monday- Friday (if that fits your schedule), in order to meet the project deadline.
Our main goal is for you to be happy with our work and your new home.
Can you also create the design for the small home renovation?
Yes. We are a full service Design-Build contractor, meaning we take you from concept to completion including architectural design, interior design, structural engineering, building permit acquisition, and of course construction.
Will a renovation add value to my home?
The ROI for renovations is quite high, especially if we are adding square footage to the home. Design plays a big factor in this and should never be overlooked!
