Whole-home renovations
Down-to-the-studs work that reconfigures the plan, corrects decades of prior remodels, updates mechanical and electrical, and rebuilds the finish so the house reads as intentional instead of patched.
Remodeling & Additions

Remodeling and
additions
Whole-home renovations, room and second-story additions, kitchens, baths, and ADU or garage conversions. Structural work is included in the scope rather than handed off.
Scope of Work
Project types
Because we are a general contractor, a remodel does not stop at the point where it becomes structural. Same crew, same documentation, one license.
Additions & second stories
Bedroom and primary-suite additions, family room expansions, second-story add-ons and kitchen bump-outs, engineered to carry their load and detailed to match the existing home.
Kitchens
Layout changes, cabinetry, counters, tile and lighting — along with the framing, plumbing and electrical realities behind the finishes that decide whether the result lasts.
Bathrooms
Primary baths, hall baths and accessibility-minded remodels with waterproofing and substrate detail done properly, because a bathroom is a plumbing project wearing tile.
ADU & garage conversions
Converting garages, shops and unused space into permitted living space, including egress, insulation, mechanical and utility requirements.
Exterior & envelope updates
Siding, windows, doors, deck and roofline work that improves how the house looks and how well it keeps water and air where they belong.
Process
How projects are handled
Scope, allowances and changes are documented at each stage.
01
Walk the house
We look at what you want to change and what the existing structure, plumbing and electrical will actually allow — with an inspector's habit of checking what is behind the finish.
02
Written scope & itemized estimate
Allowances, exclusions, selections and sequence in writing. You see what is included before you commit, not after demolition.
03
Permits & preparation
Plans, engineering and permits where the scope requires them, plus a protection and access plan if you are living in the house during the work.
04
Build with documented change orders
Daily-organized site, phase verification, and written change orders when a wall opens up and tells us something new. No surprise invoices at the end.
05
Punch list & closeout
We walk the finished work with you, close the punch list, and hand over documentation, including any warranty terms written into your contract.
Send project details
Send the essentials and Roger will call to talk through scope and sequence. You get a written scope and an itemized estimate before anything is committed.
What happens next. Roger reviews your request personally, calls to confirm the details, and schedules a site walk. You get a written scope and an itemized estimate before any work is committed — and any change during the project is documented in writing.
Prefer to talk it through first? Call (209) 770-5623.
FAQ
Remodeling questions
Can we live in the house during the remodel?
Often yes, depending on the scope. Before work starts we agree in writing on which areas stay in use, how dust and access are controlled, and which phases — kitchen tear-out, sewer or panel work, roof openings — require you to plan around them.
Do you open load-bearing walls and change structure?
Yes. Reconfiguring a floor plan usually means beams, posts, point loads and footings. We handle the structural side with the engineering it requires, and the framing gets verified before it is covered.
Will an addition look like it was always there?
That is the goal, and it is mostly a detailing question: matching rooflines and pitches, siding profiles, window proportions, trim reveals and floor transitions. We spell out the match strategy in the scope so there are no surprises at the seam.
How do you handle changes mid-project?
With a written change order that states the scope change, the cost and the schedule impact before the work happens. Old houses surprise everyone; the paperwork is how you keep those surprises from becoming a dispute.
Do you do ADU and garage conversions?
Yes — attached and detached ADUs, junior ADUs and garage conversions, including the permit, utility and egress details that decide whether the conversion passes inspection.
