Luxury Remodeling in San Gabriel

San Gabriel counts its history from 1771, when Mission San Gabriel Arcángel was founded, and the mission still stands on Mission Drive, across from City Hall, in the district that bears its name. The residential tracts belong to a later era: the city's 2024 historic resources survey found Rosemont Park and Country Club Crest built mostly in the 1920s and 1930s, many of the houses in Spanish Colonial Revival and Tudor Revival dress. Backyard plans here answer to specific zoning limits, among them a 35 percent lot coverage cap that counts patios, decks and pool equipment rooms alongside the house, a 200 square foot ceiling on pool houses, and protected Class 1 trees that can decide where a pool or ADU may go. That rewards restraint, with hardscape placed only where it earns its share of the coverage and planting left to do the rest.

In the R-1 single-family zone, newly created lots must be at least 7,260 square feet and 50 feet wide (55 feet on a corner), and lot coverage is capped at 35 percent of net lot area, a figure that counts the house, covered and uncovered patios, raised and at-grade decks, paved surfaces wider than 42 inches other than required driveways, gazebos and pool equipment rooms. Rear yards must be at least 25 feet deep, a detached accessory building may cover no more than half of that yard, and a pool house or any other accessory building besides a garage is limited to 200 square feet, with ADUs governed by their own rules.

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