Michael Meyer Construction + Fine Woodworking has been based in Mountain View for over 35 years, which means your project isn’t a drive-in job for us — it’s our own neighborhood. From the craftsman bungalows near Old Mountain View to the ranch homes off Cuesta Drive, we know the housing stock, the inspectors, and the city’s permitting quirks better than almost anyone.
Being headquartered in Mountain View means faster site visits, a shop and team just minutes away, and three decades of relationships with the city’s building and planning departments. When a permit question comes up mid-project, we’re not waiting on hold. We know who to call, and that often means getting answers the same day. It also means we can respond quickly when you need us, whether that’s a design check-in, a last-minute change or a question during construction.
Mountain View’s mix of 1950s ranch homes, updated bungalows and newer infill construction means every remodel is different. An Eichler-era ranch calls for a different approach than a 1920s bungalow, and we tailor the design and building methods to fit each home’s age and character. We handle kitchen and bathroom renovations, second-story and rear additions on tighter urban lots, and ADUs, which are increasingly popular here given the city’s push for more housing density. For many homeowners, an ADU adds rental income, space for family or a home office, and long-term value without giving up the yard.
Many homes near Old Mountain View, Rex Manor and Wagon Wheel were built in the 1940s–60s on modest footprints, with small, closed-off rooms that don’t suit how families live today. We specialize in opening up choppy original floor plans, replacing dated cabinetry with custom millwork, and adding square footage without overwhelming the lot or clashing with the neighborhood’s scale. The result is a home that feels bigger and brighter inside while still fitting in on the street.
We start with an on-site consultation at your home to understand your goals, budget and how you use the space. From there we move through design development, a fixed-scope proposal so you know the cost up front, and permitting through the City of Mountain View. Because we’re local, our project managers are on-site regularly, not just checking in by phone, so questions get answered quickly and the work stays on track.

Yes, we regularly design and build ADUs under the city's current ordinance and handle the permitting from start to finish.
Most Mountain View kitchen remodels run 10–14 weeks from demolition to final walkthrough, depending on whether structural walls or the electrical panel need to change.
That's your call — we can replicate original trim and cabinetry from homes in Rex Manor and Wagon Wheel, or replace it entirely with new custom millwork, depending on the look you want.
It depends on your lot size and goals: an ADU adds a separate living space and is popular given the city's density incentives, while an addition expands the main house itself — we'll walk through both during your consultation.
