Interview with Aero Living
in Los Altos Hills, San Mateo, and South San Francisco. Aero Living is redefining renovation experiences—one project at a time. When should home buyers first reach out? It’s best to contact Aero Living early in your journey—even before closing on a property. Whether considering a fixer-upper, upgrades, or a full renovation, we offer expert guidance to maximize your investment. We pride ourselves on making the construction process clear, stress-free, and efficient. With our in-house drafter and architect, who handle measurements, submittals, and city approvals. Need design assistance? Our partnerships with Floor & Decor (Burlingame) and The Home Team (Millbrae) help turn ideas into actionable designs, with savings passed directly to clients. Still unsure? Tommy or Niño can personally visit— often the same day—to help plan the best order of operations or simply be a soundboard to your ideas. With our advice just a call away, Aero Living ensures your project is thoroughly planned and carried out. What advice would you give someone planning a renovation? Focus on the fundamentals and prioritize what matters most. Pre-construction takes six months, covering contracting, design, and permits. Request itemized bids to avoid surprises and verify contractor credentials. During construction, ask about processes, reporting, and timelines. Ensure your contractor uses transparent tools like Gantt charts to track progress. At close-out, confirm walk-throughs and documentation. Following these steps ensures a smooth, stress-free renovation. What do you love most about your job? The highlight is witnessing homeowners’ reactions when they first see their transformed spaces. That joy in their smiles makes the challenges of construction worthwhile.
Tell us a little about the background of your company? Aero Living was founded to transform the home renovation experience for homeowners, realtors, and investors by delivering homes they truly love. Renovations often suffer from unexpected costs, endless change orders, and challenging contractor experiences. At Aero Living, we’ve developed a streamlined, client-focused process to mitigate—or eliminate—these issues. The company’s journey began with Tommy’s personal real estate investment experiences. Witnessing contractors exploit investors, he envisioned a better approach driven by transparency, efficiency, and execution. Tommy, with a Civil Engineering degree and software engineering expertise from Bloomberg, Netflix, and Dropbox, combines design functionality, technology, and property value maximisation to shape Aero Living’s ethos. His Managing Partner, Niño, brings operational excellence from his background in surgery at Stanford and leadership roles as Founder and COO of multiple startups. Together, they’ve built a lean, exceptional team—including a full-time Superintendent and Project Manager—that completed over 60 projects in 2024, delivering high-quality renovations and additions across the Bay Area, from Carmel-by-the-Sea to Tiburon and Mountain House. By keeping the contractor team in-house, Aero Living ensures efficiency, quality, and record- setting results. Notable projects include properties
