We have not yet published a Santa Clara project. Our closest documented work is in San Jose, including a curved-layout kitchen with a navy island and several bathroom remodels, shown below.
Tell Adam whether you plan to reface cabinets or replace them, and how much wall and ceiling finish will come out. In Santa Clara those details help determine whether the work needs a building permit at all.

Planning and permits in Santa Clara
Santa Clara’s Building Division publishes kitchen, bath, and laundry remodel requirements. Its guidance says a permit is required when lower cabinets, or more than 32 square feet of wall or ceiling finishes, are removed and replaced, while refacing existing cabinets does not need one.
