Remodeling Company in Burlingame, CA
Bradford Remodeling handles general contracting, kitchen remodeling, and whole-home remodeling across Burlingame, CA. Burlingame jobs run a little differently than work elsewhere on the Peninsula. The housing stock spans 1920s Spanish and Tudor revival homes in the Easton Addition alongside mid-century ranches in Burlingame Hills, and many original structures have settled, shifted, or been added onto over decades. Our crews open walls expecting lath-and-plaster, undersized framing, and wiring that hasn’t been touched since the Eisenhower administration. It changes how we bid and how we build. Call (903) 568-7222 for a written estimate.
Why Burlingame Homes Are Different
Burlingame’s older homes were framed tight and plastered thick, which is good for character and rough on remodelers. Cutting through lath-and-plaster is slow, dusty work, and the framing underneath is often true 2×4 rather than modern nominal lumber, which means adapting new materials to old dimensions rather than the other way around. Homes in the Easton Addition and around Ray Park frequently carry original redwood framing, and redwood’s a great material that demands careful fastening when you’re tying into it.
The climate does its part too. Burlingame sits in the fog belt, so exterior materials face persistent morning moisture and salt air off the Bay. Wood trim, stucco, and painted siding wear faster here than a mile inland. We specify exterior products accordingly, which is why our material roster includes James Hardie siding and GAF roofing products, both built for exactly this kind of exposure.
Burlingame also has an active planning department, and many neighborhoods fall under design review. Easton Addition residents, for example, work through specific architectural guidelines. We pull permits on every job where they’re required, no exceptions, and we tell you up front which side of that line your project falls on.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Burlingame Services
Two things dominate the calls we get in Burlingame: homeowners who need a general contractor to wrangle multiple trades on an addition or major repair, and homeowners who’ve decided the kitchen is finally getting done. Here’s how each works in this city.
General Contractor in Burlingame
When an older Burlingame home needs structural work, a foundation repair, or an addition, you need one person accountable for the whole job. Our crew coordinates the subs, pulls permits, schedules inspections, and keeps the site clean at the end of every day. Burlingame’s older homes often hide surprises behind finished walls, and a general contractor’s job is to deal with those surprises without letting the schedule or the price drift. We write the scope before we start, and every sub-contract is tied to that written scope. Learn more about what we do in the General Contractor in Burlingame page.
Kitchen Remodeling in Burlingame
Kitchen work in Burlingame usually means rerouting plumbing and electrical in a home that’s been remodeled twice already. We run the rough-in to current code, which in California covers every receptacle, every shutoff, and every vent. Then we hang the cabinets and set the counters. For Burlingame kitchens, we install KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry with Cambria or Caesarstone surfaces, and fixtures from Kohler or Moen. A kitchen that’s spec’d correctly from the start doesn’t surprise you with upcharges at the end. Details are on our Kitchen Remodeling in Burlingame page.
Home Remodeling in Burlingame
Whole-home remodels in Burlingame often mean bringing a 1930s or 1950s house up to modern plumbing, electrical, and shear-wall standards while keeping the original character intact. We handle room additions, bathroom and kitchen teardowns, structural upgrades, and exterior replacement work. Burlingame’s older streetcar-suburb lots are tight, which means careful site planning, including material staging and debris removal schedules that respect your neighbors. Our Home Remodeling in Burlingame page walks through what a full-scale project involves here.

Two things push Burlingame prices above the Peninsula average. The first is the age of the house: opening a 1925 kitchen and finding knob-and-tube wiring or rotted sill plates means the scope expands before the first countertop is ordered. The second is access: tight Easton Addition streets and hillside lots in Burlingame Hills add time for material handling and debris removal. That’s why we give a written price before any work starts, and it doesn’t change at the door.
