Local Knowledge, Local Results
Why Morgan Hill HomeownersChoose True Builders.
Many Morgan Hill properties, especially at the edges of town, are larger, and some rely on wells or septic systems. That makes ADUs and guest houses very achievable, but it also means checking septic capacity, water supply, driveway access and utility distances before design. In-town neighborhoods follow City of Morgan Hill zoning, while properties outside city limits are generally permitted by Santa Clara County instead. We confirm who has jurisdiction and what your site can support first.
You’ll get a fixed construction price and one project manager.

MORGAN HILL FAQS
Local Questions, Answered.
Often, yes, but the septic system must be able to handle the added load. That may require an evaluation or upgrade reviewed by environmental health, which we plan into the project.
Most detached ADUs run about $275,000–$600,000 depending on size and finishes. Long utility runs, septic work or well upgrades on rural lots can add to the cost, and we scope them before pricing.
If you're inside Morgan Hill city limits, the city issues permits; if you're outside, Santa Clara County usually does. We verify jurisdiction for your parcel during feasibility.
Construction for a single-room addition typically takes 3–4 months, and a primary suite addition 4–6 months, plus time up front for design, engineering and permits. Larger projects on rural lots can take longer.
Most Morgan Hill kitchen remodels fall into three levels: about $60,000–$95,000 for a refresh, $95,000–$150,000 for a signature remodel with semi-custom cabinetry and layout changes, and $150,000–$250,000 or more for an estate-level custom kitchen, plus city permit fees.
It depends on scope: remodeling select spaces such as the kitchen and bathrooms takes about 4–5 months, a comprehensive remodel with structural changes 6–8 months, and a complete home redesign 8–12 months or more.
