Home Additions & Remodels in Sacramento, CA

Additions & Remodels done right, the first time

Adding on beats moving for a lot of Sacramento-area families, especially in established neighborhoods like Land Park, East Sac, Carmichael and Fair Oaks where the location is worth keeping. California Dream Builds designs and builds room additions, second stories, primary suites, kitchen remodels and full bathroom renovations that look original to the house instead of bolted onto it.

The hard part of a remodel is not the drywall, it is matching a 1950s roofline, tying new framing into old, finding the surprises behind a wall, and keeping a family livable through the process. We open walls early where we can, price contingencies honestly, and phase the work so you keep a functioning kitchen or bathroom for as long as possible. Dust barriers, floor protection and a swept site at the end of every day are standard.

You get a written scope, a line-item estimate and a schedule with milestone dates before demo. Change orders are documented and approved by you before any work is done. We handle permits, structural engineering, and every inspection from framing through final, so an addition that raises your square footage also raises your appraised value cleanly and legally.

FAQ

Additions & Remodels questions, answered

How much does a room addition cost in Sacramento?

Most additions in the region land between $300 and $500 per square foot depending on whether plumbing is involved, how the roof ties in, and finish level. Bathroom and kitchen square footage costs more than a bedroom. We give you a line-item estimate so you can see exactly where the money goes.

Do I need a permit for a remodel?

Almost always for anything structural, electrical, plumbing or that changes square footage. Cosmetic work like paint and flooring usually does not. We tell you honestly which category your project falls in and pull whatever is required.

Can we stay in the house during construction?

Most clients do. We install dust barriers and protect flooring and pathways, and phase work so you keep at least one functioning bathroom and kitchen area whenever the scope allows.

How long does a kitchen remodel take?

A typical kitchen runs 6-10 weeks on site once materials are on hand, longer if walls move or cabinets are custom. Ordering cabinetry early is the single biggest thing that keeps a kitchen on schedule.

What happens if you find something unexpected behind a wall?

We stop, photograph it, price the fix, and get your written approval before proceeding. You will never find out about extra work for the first time on the final invoice.
