Remodels

Make the house you have work better

A lot of people already live in the right place. The house just needs more room, a better layout, or a kitchen and baths that fit how they live now. Whether it’s a new kitchen or a few walls short of a brand-new home, we can help.

We guide you from first ideas to final touches: planning the scope, handling permits, protecting the rest of your home while we work, and keeping you updated along the way. Salvador Pacheco, our remodel site supervisor, runs the day-to-day on site.

We take on remodels and smaller projects in San Luis Obispo County.

FAQ

Common questions

Something else on your mind? Call Michael at 805.712.8993.

What’s the difference between remodeling and renovating?

Renovating refreshes a home without changing its structure or layout: refinished floors, paint, new cabinets. Remodeling changes the home itself, like moving walls to change the floor plan, expanding a kitchen or adding a bathroom. The two differ a lot in scope and complexity.

What remodels are most common in San Luis Obispo County?

Kitchens come first, followed by bathrooms. Outdoor living (patios, decks, outdoor kitchens) is popular too, along with expanding living areas, adding bedrooms and building ADUs for family or rental income.

How do I choose a remodeling contractor?

Define your scope first so you can describe it clearly. Then check that the contractor is licensed and insured (ours is CSLB #986950), look at their past work, ask for references, and compare scope, materials and timelines side by side. Meet them, see how they communicate, and read the contract before you sign.

What permits do I need?

Structural changes, additions and significant alterations need a building permit, and so do changes to plumbing, mechanical or electrical systems. We handle the permits for you, so the work is done right and you avoid fines or rework later.
