In Palo Alto, original detail is worth restoring
Few cities pack as much architectural value into their housing as Palo Alto. Professorville and Old Palo Alto hold Craftsman and early-1900s homes with original built-ins; Midtown, Barron Park, and the Eichler tracts of Greenmeadow, Fairmeadow, and Royal Manor carry 1950s-60s cabinetry, baths, and tile that buyers prize. With homes among the most valuable in the country, the smart move here is never to gut what's original - it's to restore it.
We serve every Palo Alto neighborhood - Old Palo Alto · Crescent Park · Professorville · Midtown · Barron Park · College Terrace · Greenmeadow · Fairmeadow - and price each job from a single photo. Whether it's a tired kitchen, a worn tub, or dated shower tile, refinishing restores it to like-new for a fraction of replacement.
The Palo Alto homes and surfaces we restore
Palo Alto's housing runs from the brown-shingle Craftsman homes of Professorville to the celebrated Eichler neighborhoods of south Palo Alto. In Old Palo Alto and Crescent Park you'll find period built-ins and original baths; in Greenmeadow, Fairmeadow, and Royal Manor, the classic Eichler kitchen with its flat-panel cabinetry and open beams. All of it is the kind of original detail that defines value here - and all of it refinishes beautifully when the right prep and coating are matched to the material.
- Eichler flat-panel cabinetry (Greenmeadow, Fairmeadow) → restored, beams protected
- Old Palo Alto & Professorville built-ins → refinished in place, craftsmanship kept
- Mid-century & period bath tile → recolored and sealed, no demolition
- Cast-iron & cultured-marble baths → reglazed to a premium gloss
