Yes. Many kitchen and bathroom remodels require a building permit, and electrical, plumbing, or mechanical work may require additional trade permits depending on the scope.
Permit timing depends on the project and the reviews required. For applications filed on or after June 21, 2026, San Francisco allows up to 730 days to complete permit review and obtain the permit, although many projects are completed sooner.
Possibly. A second-story addition depends on zoning, height limits, existing conditions, structural requirements, and design review. Larger vertical additions may also trigger Neighborhood Notification or a Pre-Application Meeting.
In many cases, yes. Garage conversions may qualify for an ADU, subject to zoning, building, fire-safety, egress, utility, and historic-resource requirements.
Yes. Historic status can affect additions, windows, garages, exterior alterations, and other visible changes. San Francisco Planning may require Historic Resources Review before certain work proceeds.

Yes. Depending on the scope of work, a major renovation may require portions of the home to be brought into compliance with current structural, electrical, plumbing, energy, or life-safety requirements. Reviewing these potential upgrades during early planning can help define the project scope before construction begins.

If an unexpected condition or requested change comes up during construction, AYA Homes reviews the impact on scope, schedule, materials, and cost before the work moves forward. The goal is to keep decisions documented, communication clear, and the project organized as conditions change.
