Remodeling Company in Davis, CA
Home remodeling in Davis, CA typically runs $14,000 – $45,000 for a kitchen, $9,000 – $28,000 for a bathroom, and $45,000 – $130,000 for a full addition, depending on layout, materials, and what’s hiding behind the walls. This page is the straight answer on what remodeling costs in Davis, why the houses here present particular challenges, and how we keep the number on day one matching the number on the final invoice. Call (279) 300-1177 and Trevor Nash will walk you through what your project actually needs.
Most of our work across Davis is in those 1960s and 1970s ranch and tract homes you see from Old East Davis over to Slide Hill Park. They were framed fast, insulated lightly, and they carry fifty or sixty years of Sacramento Valley heat and winter rain in their bones. Remodeling one is less about cosmetics and more about correcting what the original builder skipped. Our home remodeling process starts with the house as it sits, not as a showroom photo.
Why Davis Homes Are Different
Davis sits in a hot-summer Mediterranean climate, which means our crews plan exterior work for the morning hours between June and September, and every remodel has to solve for both high-efficiency cooling and real moisture management. The older housing stock compounds that: many 1960s and 1970s homes in Old East Davis and Slide Hill Park still have original 2×4 walls with no insulation, single-pane windows that cook in August, and wooden shake roofs that have been patched past their useful life. You can spot the originals by the horizontal board siding.
Permitting is another Davis reality. The city has strict sustainability codes and neighborhood preservation rules, and infill or addition work in the older neighborhoods can trigger historical district design guidelines. We pull permits on every job where they’re required, and we build the schedule around Davis inspection timelines rather than pretending they don’t exist. A gut-rehab energy retrofit on an uninsulated ranch is a different job than the same square footage in a newer subdivision, and the price should reflect that.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Davis Services
Davis homeowners call us most often for two things: a general contractor to run a whole remodel end to end, and a bathroom or kitchen that has finally stopped working for the way the household lives now. Each link below goes to the full Davis page for that service.
General Contractor in Davis
When a Davis remodel touches load-bearing walls, seismic strapping, or electrical panels that date to the Johnson administration, a licensed general contractor is the person holding the whole job together. Older Davis ranches often need foundation bolting and shear-wall upgrades before any cosmetic work starts, and the city wants permits pulled and inspections passed. We handle the structural, the permits, the trade scheduling, and the written guarantee. See General Contractor in Davis for the full scope.
Bathroom Remodeling in Davis
Davis bathrooms in the original 60s and 70s stock are often tight, tiled over drywall instead of a proper cement board substrate, and ventilated by a window that nobody opens in January. A remodel here means reworking the waterproofing layer, upgrading the exhaust, and often converting a tub to a walk-in shower for aging in place. Pricing stays transparent from the first conversation. The full detail is on our Bathroom Remodeling in Davis page.
Kitchen Remodeling in Davis
Kitchen work in Davis frequently means opening up a closed-off galley in a 1970s tract home, replacing single-pane windows with code-compliant units, and bringing the electrical up to what modern appliances actually draw. We use KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry with Cambria or Silestone countertops so the materials carry their own warranties alongside ours. Read the full breakdown at Kitchen Remodeling in Davis.

Home Remodeling in Davis
Whole-home remodeling in Davis usually means one of two jobs: a gut-rehab energy retrofit on a 1960s or 1970s ranch with no insulation in the walls, or a phased interior remodel that brings a house up to the way a family actually lives now. The climate drives the work: summer highs demand real cooling efficiency, winter rains demand proper moisture barriers, and the city’s sustainability codes set the bar for both. We plan around those constraints from the first walkthrough. Home Remodeling with us is priced in writing before anything gets torn out.

How much does a home remodel cost in Davis?
A full home remodel in Davis typically runs $45,000 – $130,000 depending on square footage, structural corrections, and finish level. The single biggest cost driver is what’s inside the walls: uninsulated 2×4 framing and outdated wiring cost real money to bring up to the city’s energy code.

Will the price change once work starts in Davis?
No. We give you a written price before any work begins, and that’s the number on the invoice unless you change the scope. If something inside the wall differs from what we both expected, we show you the condition before we spend a dollar more. Call (279) 300-1177 to schedule a walkthrough.

Davis prices climb faster than nearby towns when the house is an original 1960s or 70s build with no insulation and outdated electrical, because the energy retrofit work is mandatory before finishes. Every quote we give is a written, fixed number before the first tool comes off the truck, and it stays that way through inspection.
