Looking for outdoor living in Cupertino? ODL Construction is a licensed Bay Area general contractor serving Cupertino and the surrounding Silicon Valley — from Monta Vista, Rancho Rinconada, Garden Gate and beyond. Decks, patios, outdoor kitchens, and pergolas that extend your living space outside.
The Bay Area's climate is made for outdoor living, and a well-built outdoor space is one of the highest-enjoyment, strong-return investments a homeowner can make. Done right, it becomes a true extension of the house rather than a neglected backyard.
For Cupertino specifically, it comes down to local realities: In Cupertino, the Fremont Union school premium means additions that add bedrooms often return more than a move — but the city's R1 ordinance and second-story design review shape what's possible. Cupertino's R1 zoning includes second-story setback and privacy-protection standards plus design review for two-story projects — we design to those rules so additions clear review. We design and permit your outdoor living around exactly those conditions.
