We Know How Fountain Valley Works
Start with the local review process. Whole home projects benefit from an early review of existing walls, openings and building systems. We coordinate the proposed interior layout with exterior improvements rather than treating each room as an unrelated job. See the Fountain Valley Building Division for current information.
Plan the interior before selecting finishes. For your Fountain Valley kitchen or bathroom remodel, we review the layout, wall changes and proposed plumbing, electrical and ventilation work. We help coordinate the design and engineering needed for the agreed scope, including any required energy documentation.
Bring the outdoor plan together. A patio cover, outdoor kitchen, pool, spa or retaining wall needs to be considered with the site layout, drainage and utilities. We check the requirements for the proposed work before locking in locations and materials. For an ADU or addition, we also review how the new space connects to the existing property.
One team through the next steps. We help Fountain Valley homeowners move from design and engineering through permit coordination and construction. Applicable HOA approvals, city or county review and inspection stages are built into the project planning. Already have designs or plans? We can work with those, too.

Before we begin
Planning your Fountain Valley remodel: questions, answered.
Do I need a permit for a kitchen or bathroom remodel in Fountain Valley?
Most cosmetic updates like replacing cabinets, countertops, or fixtures do not require a permit in Fountain Valley. However, any work involving structural changes, moving walls, relocating plumbing, or adding electrical circuits requires a permit from the Fountain Valley Building and Safety Division. All applications are submitted through the city's electronic Permit Center portal. We handle all permit applications and plan check submissions for you.
How do I get a permit for a patio cover or backyard structure in Fountain Valley?
Patio covers, pergolas, and backyard structures in Fountain Valley require a building permit submitted through the city's electronic Permit Center. Solid roof patio covers also require structural engineering drawings. Storage sheds under 120 square feet with ceilings not exceeding 7 feet are exempt from permits, but all other permanent structures require plan check approval. Our team prepares all documentation and manages the full inspection process.
Can I build an ADU on my Fountain Valley property?
Yes. Fountain Valley allows single-family properties to add one ADU up to 1,200 square feet and one Junior ADU up to 500 square feet. Detached ADUs require a minimum 4-foot setback from rear and side property lines. The city must approve compliant ADU applications within 60 days of submittal. We handle the full design, permit submission, and construction of ADUs in Fountain Valley from start to finish.
How much does a backyard remodel cost in Fountain Valley?
A full backyard remodel in Fountain Valley (about 2,000 sq ft) usually starts around $40,000 to $70,000. From there the price depends on the design, like adding a pool, an outdoor kitchen or BBQ island, a fire pit, and new landscaping. We provide a detailed itemized estimate after a free on-site consultation and 3D design session.
What outdoor remodeling projects are most popular in Fountain Valley?
The most popular outdoor projects we complete in Fountain Valley include paver patio installations, aluminum and wood patio covers, outdoor kitchen and BBQ island builds, artificial turf installation, fire pit and sitting area construction, and pool installations. Fountain Valley's year-round mild climate makes outdoor living spaces one of the highest-ROI investments a homeowner can make.
How long does a kitchen remodel take in Fountain Valley?
A typical kitchen remodel in Fountain Valley takes 6 to 10 weeks from permit approval to completion, depending on the scope of work. Projects involving structural changes, custom cabinetry, or material lead times may take longer. We provide a detailed timeline before work begins and keep you updated throughout every phase.
