Berkeley Home Remodeling & Renovation | Renova Builders
Berkeley is home to one of the Bay Area’s richest concentrations of early 20th-century residential architecture — Craftsman bungalows, Colonial Revivals, and Berkeley Brown Shingles define neighborhoods like Elmwood, Claremont Hills, and the Berkeley Hills. Renova Builders specializes in high-quality renovations that honor this historic character while modernizing your home for today’s lifestyle.
Whether you’re updating a century-old Craftsman near the Elmwood district, adding a second story to a Berkeley Hills home, or converting a garage into a legal ADU in the flats, Renova Builders brings the expertise, permits knowledge, and design vision to make it happen — on time and on budget.
Berkeley’s unique housing stock requires a contractor who understands the nuances of older construction — original plaster walls, post-and-pier foundations, knob-and-tube wiring upgrades, and the permitting expectations of a city with some of the most detailed building codes in California. Renova Builders has the experience to navigate it all.
Innovative Design. Sustainable Craftsmanship. Local Berkeley Expertise.
Renova Builders serves Berkeley homeowners across every neighborhood — from the flats near Ashby BART to the hillside streets with views of the Bay above Panoramic Hill. Our team brings the same level of care and craftsmanship to every project, whether it’s a targeted kitchen remodel or a comprehensive whole-home renovation.
Berkeley homeowners frequently request sustainable, energy-efficient upgrades alongside their renovations — better insulation, updated mechanical systems, and solar-ready electrical panels. Our team integrates these improvements seamlessly into every project scope.
With Berkeley’s competitive real estate market and high-density zoning, ADU conversions in garages and basements have become one of the most popular renovation requests. Our team is fully current on Berkeley’s ADU regulations and can take your project from concept to certificate of occupancy.
