Luxury Remodeling in Fullerton

Fullerton dates its start to July 5, 1887, when Edward Amerige drove a stake into a mustard field at what is now the corner of Harbor Boulevard and Commonwealth Avenue. Several of the older neighborhoods near downtown, mostly California bungalows and Spanish Colonial Revival homes from the 1920s and 1930s, now sit in residential preservation zones that their owners asked the city to create. To the north the land rises into the West and East Coyote Hills, and around the Robert E. Ward and Panorama nature preserves the city's hazard maps extend very high fire hazard zoning and deep-seated landslide susceptibility onto the land around them. A backyard in Upper Golden Hill answers to design guidelines and to how it reads from the street, while one near the preserves starts with grade, soils and fire zoning.

Single-family zoning is keyed to minimum lot size, and the standards scale with it: first-story rear setbacks from a neighboring lot run from 15 feet in zones of 7,200 square feet or less to 25 feet at 20,000 square feet and over, and maximum lot coverage steps down from 60 percent on the smallest lots to 45 percent on the largest. The preservation neighborhoods are mostly California bungalows, with many Spanish Colonial Revival homes, built between 1920 and 1940. In Pico-Carhart, where residents petitioned in 2002 for larger minimum lots, a Rural Street Overlay on parts of the neighborhood calls for recessed garage doors, a single-story element along the street and minimal disruption of natural contours.

One team designs, permits and builds every project, and our own crews self-perform the work, so the people who plan your Fullerton project are the people on site building it.
