Most Hayward home remodels start in the kitchen or a bathroom and grow from there. A kitchen remodel is planned around the layout: keeping the sink and appliances in place keeps the budget predictable, while opening a wall or moving plumbing adds framing, electrical work and a permit. We show you those trade-offs at the estimate so you decide where the money goes. For bathrooms, we rebuild showers over proper waterproofing, replace tubs, vanities and tile, and add ventilation. Whole-house projects combine these with flooring, paint, windows and new circuits in one schedule run by one team. Details on our [kitchen remodeling](https://ecosremodeling.com/services/kitchen-remodeling/), [bathroom remodeling](https://ecosremodeling.com/services/bathroom-remodeling-services/) and [whole-house remodeling](https://ecosremodeling.com/services/whole-house-remodeling/) pages. ## Where do Hayward ADU and addition permits go? A backyard ADU, a garage conversion or a junior ADU can add a rental unit or room for family, and they are reviewed under the state ADU law published by California HCD. Lot size, setbacks, utility capacity and access decide which option fits, so we measure and check those on the first visit. Inside city limits, plans go to the City of Hayward Permit Center at City Hall, 777 B Street, and the City’s e-Permits portal takes applications and inspection requests online. Castro Valley, Cherryland and Fairview are unincorporated parts of Alameda County, so building permits there are applied for with the County, through the Alameda County Public Works Agency and its permit portal, rather than with the City of Hayward. We confirm the right office for your address and file there. See our [Bay Area ADU builder](https://ecosremodeling.com/bay-area/adu-builders/) and [home additions](https://ecosremodeling.com/services/home-additions/) pages. Roofing and exterior project by EcoStar Remodeling & Construction Exterior project by EcoStar Remodeling & Construction ## How do you protect a Hayward home from earthquakes and winter rain? The fault that carries the city’s name runs through Hayward. On a house with a raised wood floor and a crawl space, a brace and bolt retrofit sheathes the cripple walls with plywood and bolts the frame to the foundation, and California’s Earthquake Brace + Bolt program offers retrofit grants for qualifying houses in eligible ZIP codes. A sound roof, working gutters and good drainage keep winter rain away from the foundation, and on hillside lots in Fairview and the Hayward Hills they matter even more. Outside, we pour driveways, lay pavers and build decks. See [roofing](https://ecosremodeling.com/services/roofing-services/), [foundation repair](https://ecosremodeling.com/services/foundation/) and [driveways](https://ecosremodeling.com/services/driveways-contractors/). ## Who runs your Hayward remodel?

I reached out for bids for a new roof. I met Zane over the phone and set up a meeting. He arrived and we talked about what I was interested in doing. I told him the roof was the priority because my insurance company threatened to cancel me. He agreed that my roof did need a replacement and the reason why insurance companies have issues with old roofs. He laid out some numbers for me about what I was interested in. We talked roof extension, gutters, solar panel cost, battery system an a going with a lighter color. All these things and also some interior lighting the kitchen area. I have to say that after a few hours of his time we reached and agreement on what I was hoping for during the t he process. How fast, the time involved and price were considered. The contract was the biggest issue of course and how much I could afford. EchoStar made me a good offer for the work and I felt very satisfied with the decision to go with eccstar. I was happy with how fast the roof was stripped and preped. The work crews were amazing and did very good work. I did not have many concerns and if I did there was always someone to help answer my questions. Zane the project manager was in contact with me the whole time. I was very happy with his customer service and also his caring of my satisfaction throughout the construction phase. I would highly recommend this company for any construction needs. They have a lot of good worker and I was very impressed and happy with my decision going with EcoStar.

First of all, thank you, Kennet. I truly appreciate the incredible work you and Ecostar Remodeling & Construction did on my attic insulation. I’ve done several home improvement projects over the years, but I’ve honestly never experienced this level of professionalism, precision, and care. From the initial inspection to the final walkthrough, everything was explained clearly and handled flawlessly. The crew was punctual, clean, and extremely detail-oriented. The work was done beyond code, using high-quality materials, with zero shortcuts. The difference in temperature and overall comfort in my home was immediate, and I noticed improved energy efficiency right away. I couldn’t be happier with the results. If you’re looking for a contractor you can truly trust in Oakland, Ecostar is on another level. Highly recommended.

Posted on Google Google Kai profile picture Kai Google star 1Google star 2Google star 3Google star 4Google star 5Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I reached out to Rotem and his company to see if my home’s roof was still under warranty. Unfortunately, the warranty did not transfer over but he gave me a good quote on the repair. Rotem is very professional and his explanation of the work was thorough. He also advised on which repairs around the house can wait, and what needed to be prioritized. He’s a good guy and a pleasure to deal with. If you’re shopping around for quotes, Rotem and Ecostar is a great point of reference no matter which company you go with. They are on my short list of home repair contractors.
