Luxury Remodeling in Santa Ana

Santa Ana keeps much of its history on its residential streets. Heninger Park, just south of the Civic Center, is significant above all for its wide range of Craftsman and California Bungalow styles, French Park holds its own SD-19 zoning protection and a National Register listing from 1999, and Floral Park joined the National Register in 2023. Citywide, the Safety Element identifies the majority of Santa Ana as susceptible to liquefaction, so the soil beneath a pool or ADU matters from the first sketch. Two further checks, the parcel's FEMA flood zone and whether the house is a historic property or sits in a historic district, decide whether a pool or patio cover can clear same-day counter plan check or has to go through regular review.

The Heninger Park design guidelines describe the common residential site configurations in Santa Ana as prominent entries facing the street, front porches, ample front yards and detached garages located toward the rear of the property. Heninger Park itself, bounded by First Street, Sycamore Street, McFadden Avenue and Flower Street, has little vacant land for new infill, and the guidelines call rear additions almost always appropriate when they meet the SD-40 development standards. New garages and accessory structures there should be detached, placed at the rear of the residence and kept out of view from the street, and the Hollywood driveway, two parallel paved strips separated by turf or gravel, is the preferred design.

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