Remodeling Company in Cypress, CA
Cypress homeowners call us when a 1950s ranch needs a second story, a closed-off kitchen needs to open into the living room, or an original bathroom needs to stop leaking into the slab. That’s the work this city generates – mid-century homes on tight lots, not new builds. San Mateo Construction has served Cypress since 2018 as a full-scope general contractor, handling renovation from roofline to foundation under one contract. Call (855) 901-7266 to talk through your project.
Why Cypress Homes Are Different
Cypress is a master-planned postwar suburb, developed mostly in the 1950s and 60s on former dairy land. The housing stock reflects that: single-story ranch and tract homes on modest lots, many with original stucco, slab-on-grade foundations, and electrical panels that were sized for a different era. When we walk a Cypress remodel, we’re almost never looking at a blank slate. We’re looking at copper supply lines that have thinned, galvanized drain pipe that has corroded, and floor plans built for households that didn’t have open kitchens or primary suites.
The climate helps. Coastal-influenced Orange County weather keeps exterior work viable most of the year; the dry warm season rarely interrupts a roofing or stucco schedule. The exceptions are the Santa Ana wind events, which can push roof work off a calendar for a day or two, and the occasional wet winter, which is when we schedule drainage and gutter upgrades. Because so many Cypress lots are small, additions – especially second-story and rear additions – run into setback and lot-coverage limits that trigger city planning review. We handle that review as part of the job, not as a surprise.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Cypress Services
Two services account for most of the calls we take from Cypress homeowners: whole-project general contracting and full-home remodeling. Both start with the same conversation about what your house is, what it can become, and what the lot will allow.
General Contractor in Cypress
When a Cypress project touches more than one trade – say a rear addition plus a kitchen remodel plus a panel upgrade – a single general contractor holds the schedule, the permits, and the accountability. We run the project from planning review to final inspection, coordinating subs, materials, and inspections so you’re not chasing three separate crews. If you’re considering a second-story addition on a mid-century lot, this is the service you need. Learn more about working with a General Contractor in Cypress.
Home Remodeling in Cypress
Most Cypress remodels start with one of three motives: the floor plan feels closed off, the kitchen or bath is original to the 1960s, or the family has outgrown the footprint. We open walls where structure allows, modernize kitchens and baths with name-brand fixtures, and bring electrical and plumbing up to current code. It’s renovation work built around how the house is actually constructed, not a generic refresh. See what’s involved in Home Remodeling in Cypress.

Home Renovation in Cypress
Home Renovation in Cypress usually means one of two things: taking a mid-century tract home down to the studs in key rooms, or adding square footage that the original floor plan never had. On this housing stock, the work often includes opening up compartmentalized kitchens, rebuilding original baths, replacing old subfloor around slab penetrations, and bringing electrical service up to what a modern household actually draws. Renovation here is less about cosmetics and more about correcting 60 years of accumulated wear and outdated layout.
The Cypress angle is the lot. Because the city is essentially built out, infill is rare and additions happen up or back – second-story additions and rear extensions that push against setback and lot-coverage rules. That makes planning review a routine part of renovation, and it’s a process we handle end to end.

What Cypress Customers Say
"The foundation survey came back dead on. Everything downstream of that being square is the reason the rest of the build went smoothly."
— Karim Khalil"Weekend rate was higher, which they told me up front and I was fine with. What I wasn't expecting was for someone to actually come out on a Sunday."
— Michelle Norris"He caught an error in the engineer's drawings before it got framed, which would have been an expensive thing to discover later."
— Cole Hoffman
