Neighborhoods

Find your Los Altos neighborhood

Los Altos pairs small-town character with serious Silicon Valley wealth. Many homes are original 1950s–60s ranches now being refreshed or rebuilt — owners here want careful, well-documented work that respects the property's value.

Your home

What your home’s age tells you

The year a house was built points to what is worth checking first. Pick a period.

Before 1950: character, and older systems

  • Knob-and-tube wiring and plaster walls are common, so an electrical inspection comes first.
  • Galvanized or old supply pipes may be near the end of their life.
  • Lead paint is likely, so ask any pro about lead-safe practices.

Fall: 9 tasks

Get ready before the first big rain.

Clean the gutters before the first rain
OUTSIDE

The most important task of the year. Clear gutters keep water off walls and foundations.

Find a pro
Consider gutter guards
OUTSIDE

They cut how often you have to clean, especially under trees.

Find a pro
Repair the roof before the wet season
OUTSIDE

A small repair now is far cheaper than interior water damage in January.

Find a pro
Sweep the chimney and inspect the fireplace
SAFETY

Creosote buildup and cracks are a fire risk once you start using it.

Find a pro
Check drainage around the house
OUTSIDE

Water that pools against the foundation finds a way in. Fix grading and drains first.

Find a pro
Weatherproof windows and doors
INSIDE

Seal drafts before the cold arrives and keep rain out.

Find a pro
Winterize outdoor spigots
OUTSIDE

Fix leaking hose bibs and shut them down before a cold snap.

Heating season means more risk. Change batteries when the clocks change.

Street Days in Los Altos

Neighbors on one street book the same pro on the same day. Only the city is shown, never a street.

No Street Days are open in Los Altos yet. Yours could be the first.

How a Street Day works
  1. 1. Start one

    Pick the job, your street, a day and a pro who offers a neighbor rate.

  2. 2. Share the link

    Send it to neighbors by text or message. Only the city is ever shown publicly, never your street.

  3. 3. Neighbors join

    Neighbors on your street book the same pro on the same day, with an address on that street.

  4. 4. Everyone saves

    Each home gets the pro’s neighbor rate, a percent off the pro’s own price, and books and pays on its own.
