Luxury Remodeling in Glendora

Glendora sits at the eastern end of the San Gabriel Valley, at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains along historic Route 66, with the South Hills rising south of most of the city and the Glendora Village as its downtown. Most of its homes are single-family houses built from the 1960s through the 1980s on modest flatland lots, and parcels grow larger as the streets climb toward the foothills. Parcels that average ten percent slope or more fall under the city's hillside rules: grading is prohibited on natural slopes over 35 percent, no structure may sit within fifty horizontal feet of a ridgeline, and pool decking counts toward a lot coverage cap that shrinks as the slope steepens. Those same standards call for interior fire sprinklers, fire-retardant building materials and a fuel modification plan consistent with Los Angeles County Fire Department requirements, and CAL FIRE maps the foothill streets along the northern edge and parts of the South Hills as a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone.

Across most of the flat, non-hillside city, the Community Plan's Low/Medium Density designation describes typical lots of 7,500 to 8,500 square feet in the R-1 and E-3 zones. The Low Density areas that form the transition toward the hillsides allow lots of 10,500 to 30,000 square feet in the E-5, E-6 and E-7 estate zones, and the Hillside Very Low Residential designation, paired with the RHR zone and the largest estate zones, calls for lots of at least one acre.

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