Tremron Kitchen Remodeling: The Sacramento Owner’s Guide
Tremron is best known in Sacramento for concrete pavers and retaining wall block, not stock kitchen components. So if you are holding a Tremron paver or block sample and wondering how it fits into your kitchen remodel, what you actually need is a contractor who can integrate Tremron hardscape products into an indoor-outdoor kitchen flow, plus an honest remodeler for the cabinetry, counters, and tile that surround it. Kitchen remodels involving structural or layout changes in Sacramento typically run $14,000 – $45,000 depending on scope. The fastest way to find out is to send us a photo of what you have and call (279) 300-1177 for a written quote.
Most homeowners reach out after a Tremron backyard patio or outdoor kitchen surround has settled, cracked, or separated from the house, and they want the indoor kitchen remodeled to match the hardscape outside. Or someone removed a Tremron paver counter or bar top and realized the cabinets underneath are not worth saving. We fix both ends of that problem.
Which Tremron Models This Applies To
Tremron products that show up in or next to Sacramento kitchens are usually their paver systems: Mega Olde Towne, Riviera, Hollandstone, and the Flagstone line for steps and landings. None of these are a cabinet line. If a previous owner glued Tremron cap stones or edging onto an indoor counter or island knee wall, the “part” that fails first is the thin-set or mortar bed holding them, not the block itself. That is a substrate problem, and it is fixable.
For cabinet-facing work, we install KraftMaid and Wellborn, which carry their own manufacturer specs alongside our written warranty. If you have a Tremron paver bar top from the early 2000s, pull the end cap or a single loose stone and measure it. Most are 60mm thick with a nominal 4″×8″ face, but older Sacramento installs used 80mm units for commercial jobs. Thickness matters when we rebuild the base under a new countertop. We check that before any cabinet order goes in, because the finished counter height has to land at 36 inches, not 36-and-a-half, or the range and dishwasher will bind against the stone.

Signs Your Tremron Kitchen Remodeling Is Failing
- Hairline cracks running between pavers on an indoor bar top or island face. This is almost always a failed mortar bed over a wood subfloor. Wood moves with Sacramento’s wet winters and dry summers, and rigid mortar does not. The fix is a decoupling membrane and a proper flex mortar, not more grout.
- Paver caps pulling away from the house at the kitchen walk-out. The first cold-wet cycle of fall will separate a stone set against stucco if there was no soft joint. We see this constantly in East Sacramento and Land Park, where 1950s and ’60s ranches meet 2000s hardscape add-ons.
- Rust stains weeping from an outdoor kitchen counter edge. That is a corroding steel lintel or angle iron under the paver overhang. Left alone, it swells and spalls the stone. It is a two-day repair now or a full counter tear-out later.
- Base cabinets sagging under a heavy paver top. Tremron stone is concrete, and concrete is heavy. If the cabinet boxes are particleboard and the top is stone, the bottom starts to drop. We reinforce or replace the cabinet run before resetting the stone.
- Tile or stone around the cooktop has shifted enough that the grout line is no longer straight. Behind that wall you usually have wet or improperly supported cement board. The surface symptom is cosmetic; the cause is structural. Do not ignore it.
Replacement Cost & What’s Included
Installed kitchen remodels in Sacramento run $14,000 – $45,000 depending on whether we are handling the full room or a targeted repair that touches cabinetry, countertop, and a Tremron stone feature. A smaller kitchen refresh without structural changes lands in the $9,000 – $20,000 range. Countertop-only work starts around $2,000 – $6,500 for a run with Cambria or Silestone quartz, and backsplash runs $800 – $2,500. When a Tremron paver element is part of the job, we write the stone reset, substrate prep, and sealing as separate line items so you see exactly what the stone work costs against the cabinet and counter budget.
Every quote is a written number before any work starts. That number holds. If a repair fails inside 365 days, we come back and fix it at no charge, and the second visit is free. You are not paying us to re-inspect our own work.

If a single paver on your kitchen island edge has popped loose and the bed underneath is dry and sound, you can clean it and reset it with a quality polymer-modified thinset. That is honest work a careful homeowner can handle. If the edge is along a walk-out floor and the stone has shifted more than a quarter inch, stop. You are into subfloor deflection, and adding more adhesive will not fix a floor that is moving under the stone. Same rule applies to any paver top over a grill island or bar: if the base is compromised, the stone is only as safe as what is under it.
For anything involving gas lines, electrical, or a countertop that weighs more than two people can safely lift, call (279) 300-1177. We will come look, write you a number, and tell you honestly if the stone can be saved.
FAQs
As a paving material, Tremron units regularly hold up 25 to 30 years in Sacramento’s climate. As an indoor counter or feature surface, the lifespan is usually set by the substrate and mortar, not the stone. Most failures we see are at the 8-to-12-year mark and start at the bond line. Re-set it right with a decoupling membrane and the stone usually outlives the kitchen.
In most cases, yes. We salvage and re-set Tremron stone regularly when the units are not cracked through and the size matches the existing layout. The cost is roughly $450 – $900 for an edge or cap section, and a full re-set over a large island runs $2,000 – $4,000. If the stone itself is fractured, we will tell you that too and give you a replacement number. Call (279) 300-1177 for a straight answer.
A paver edge or cap re-set is a one-to-two-day job, including grout and seal. If we are rebuilding cabinetry under the stone, expect two to four weeks depending on cabinet lead times from KraftMaid or Wellborn. We give you a written schedule with the written price, and our crew shows up on the day we said they would.
We do not stock Tremron-specific stone units at the warehouse, but we source matching pavers directly through Sacramento hardscape suppliers who carry the Tremron line. If we are matching an existing paver from fifteen years ago, we will pull samples and lay them next to your stone before we write the bid. You are not asked to hunt down product yourself.
