Full-Service General Contractor · Sacramento & the 916
Sacramento's full-service general contractor for custom homes, remodels, ADUs, decks, and more.
What we build
One licensed builder for the whole project, from a ground-up custom home to the repair you've been putting off.
Why California Dream Builds
Fully licensed, bonded and insured in California. Every permit is pulled properly and every inspection is scheduled by us, not you.
Framing, finish carpentry and trade work held to a standard you can see. We build the parts nobody sees just as carefully as the parts everyone does.
A written schedule and a line-item estimate before demo day. Change orders are approved by you in writing, never sprung on you at the end.
You get one point of contact, real answers, and a crew that shows up when we said we would. Free estimates, no pressure, no gimmicks.
Featured work
A sample of what we've built across Sacramento, Elk Grove, Roseville, Folsom and beyond.
How it works
We walk the property, listen to what you actually want, and talk honestly about budget and feasibility.
Plans, engineering and permits coordinated, paired with a line-item estimate you can read.
One superintendent, organized trades, clean sites, and weekly updates so nothing surprises you.
A punch list completed before we ask for final payment, plus warranty and care documentation.
Reviews
“They built our detached ADU from feasibility through final inspection and never once left us guessing. The schedule they handed us in month one is the schedule we finished on. It's rented now and it paid for itself faster than we projected.”
Marisol R.
Elk Grove, CA · 800 sq ft detached ADU
“We added a primary suite to a 1962 ranch and were terrified it would look tacked on. It doesn't. The roofline and siding match so well that visitors assume it was always there. Crew was respectful and the site was swept every single day.”
Dan & Kathy W.
Carmichael, CA · Primary suite addition
“Found serious dry rot under our back deck. Instead of just replacing boards, they traced it to a flashing failure at the ledger and fixed the actual cause. Photos of everything. That's the difference between a contractor and a guy with a truck.”
Anthony P.
Sacramento, CA · Deck rebuild & rot repair
“Full kitchen remodel with a wall removed. The line-item estimate meant we understood every dollar, and the one change order we had was priced and approved before anyone lifted a hammer. On time and on budget is not marketing with these guys.”
Priya S.
Roseville, CA · Kitchen remodel
“Hillside deck on a tough lot. They engineered the footings properly instead of talking me into something cheap that would've moved in two winters. Beautiful work and the railing detail is exactly what we sketched.”
Greg M.
Folsom, CA · Elevated composite deck
“Garage conversion into a legal in-law unit for my mother. They walked us through the ADU rules, handled every permit, and delivered it move-in ready. Honest pricing and genuinely kind people to have around the house for four months.”
The Nguyen Family
Rancho Cordova, CA · Garage-to-JADU conversion
