Trusted General Contractor for Sacramento Homeowners
Hiring a general contractor in Sacramento usually means one of two things: you’re planning a kitchen or bathroom remodel, or you’ve got a list of smaller repairs that never seem to get done. Either way, you want someone who shows up, gives you a real price, and stands behind the work. Penhallow Remodeling has built its reputation in Sacramento on exactly that. We’re led by Trevor Nash, and our crews are background-checked, uniformed, and held to a written standard called The Kingswell Way: say the price before the work, show up in the window we gave, and leave the place cleaner than we found it. If something fails inside a year, our 365-Day Done Right Promise means we come back and fix it at no charge. Call (279) 300-1177 for a free estimate.
Construction Company
A construction company handles the structural, mechanical, and finishing work that turns a plan into a finished room. In Sacramento, that ranges from moving a wall to rebuilding a water-damaged bathroom. What separates one construction company from the next is rarely the hammer; it’s the paperwork and the follow-through. A kitchen remodel in Sacramento runs $14,000 – $45,000 depending on cabinet line, countertop material, and whether you’re moving plumbing or gas lines. A bathroom remodel runs $9,000 – $28,000. At Penhallow Remodeling Sacramento, the price we give you before work starts is the price on the final invoice, in writing.
Written Pricing Before Any Work
We don’t hand out verbal ballparks. Every project gets a written line-item price before the first tool comes off the truck. That means you can compare what you’re paying for, and we can’t quietly add “miscellaneous labor” on day twelve.
Brand-Name Materials Behind the Work
The products matter as much as the install. We source KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone countertops, and Kohler and Moen fixtures. These brands back their own warranties, which stack on top of our 365-day promise.
Styles & brands we work with
Remodeling Contractor
A remodeling contractor specializes in changing what’s already there: tearing out a dated kitchen, converting a tub to a walk-in shower, or gutting a hall bath down to the studs. That’s the work we do most in Sacramento, from Land Park bungalows to newer builds in Natomas, and as a General Contractor in Rio Linda and beyond. Kitchen remodels typically run $14,000 – $45,000. A small bathroom remodel runs $5,000 – $12,000 if the footprint stays the same and you’re not relocating drains. A tub-to-shower conversion runs $3,500 – $10,000. What drives the number up or down is usually the same three things: layout changes, material grade, and what’s hiding behind the walls once we open them up.
Substrate, Explained
We use cement board substrate (the moisture-resistant layer behind your tile) in wet areas because drywall behind tile fails early in Sacramento’s dry-swell clay cycles. It’s a detail most homeowners never see, but it’s why our tile doesn’t crack six months in.
Permits and Inspections
Moving plumbing, electrical, or load-bearing walls means pulling permits with the City of Sacramento. We handle that process, schedule the inspections, and don’t cover anything up until it passes.
Licensed General Contractor
A licensed general contractor carries a state contractor’s license, workers’ compensation coverage for the crew, and liability insurance for your property. In California, anyone charging more than $500 for construction work must hold a license; unlicensed operators skip that overhead, and the homeowner pays for it if a worker gets hurt or the job goes sideways. Penhallow Remodeling is state-licensed, insured, and bonded. We’re also part of the Kingswell family of companies, operating to The Kingswell Way since 2004. Each location is independently owned and operated.
Who’s in Your Home
Every technician we send is background-checked and arrives in uniform. You know exactly who’s walking through your door, and the same professional standard applies whether we’re doing a $3,000 shower replacement or a $90,000 ADU.
Standing Behind the License
Our 365-Day Done Right Promise is written into every contract. If the repair fails inside the guarantee period, we come back and fix it at no charge. If a second visit is needed, there’s no service call and no re-inspection fee.
Residential General Contractor
A residential general contractor works exclusively on homes, not commercial spaces. That distinction matters because residential work has different permitting rules, different material tolerances, and different realities: you’re living in the house while we’re working in it. North Highlands General Contractor clients and Sacramento homeowners hire us most often for kitchen remodeling, bathroom remodeling, and whole-home remodels. A whole-home remodel budget in the Sacramento area typically falls between $45,000 and $130,000 depending on square footage and scope. A garage conversion runs $30,000 – $80,000. An ADU construction project runs $90,000 – $220,000.
Living Through a Remodel
We set expectations before demo day: where the dust barrier goes, what time we arrive, and when the water gets shut off. The work zone is contained, and the job site is cleaned at the end of every day.
Working Around Your Floorplan
Older Sacramento homes, especially in East Sacramento and Curtis Park, have load-bearing walls and electrical panels that control the scope. We inspect before we bid, so the number we give you accounts for what’s actually there.
Hire a General Contractor
Here’s when you should hire a general contractor: the project involves more than two trades, requires a permit, or will take more than a week of your own time to coordinate. If you’re already juggling a plumber for the rough-in, an electrician for the panel, and a tile setter for the shower, a general contractor pulls all of that together under one written price and one schedule. In Sacramento, a walk-in shower installation runs $4,500 – $12,000 when it’s part of a larger bathroom remodel, but coordinating it as a standalone project blows well past that in time and frustration.
One Contract, One Point of Contact
You get a single written price and one person accountable when questions come up. That’s me, Trevor Nash, and my direct line is (279) 300-1177. You’re never routed through a call center.
What to Check Before You Sign
Verify the license, ask for proof of insurance, and never accept a verbal estimate. If a contractor won’t put the price in writing before work starts, walk away. We’ll hand you a written number on day one.
General Contractor Services
General contractor services cover everything from design-build remodels to finish carpentry and fixture installation. At Penhallow Remodeling Sacramento, our core services are kitchen remodeling, bathroom remodeling, and whole-home remodels. Countertop installation runs $2,000 – $6,500 depending on the slab and edge profile. Cabinet installation runs $4,000 – $13,000. Backsplash installation runs $800 – $2,500. A kitchen island installation runs $3,000 – $10,000 depending on whether it’s a base cabinet with a top or a custom build with electrical and plumbing.
Kitchen Remodeling
From cabinet refacing to full custom layouts, we handle the design, the build, and the finishing. KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinets are our standard lines, and Cambria quartz is our most requested countertop material.
Bathroom Remodeling
We do complete bath remodels, walk-in shower installations, shower replacements, and tub-to-shower conversions. Every wet area gets a moisture-resistant substrate, and every tile job is set to cure before grout goes in.

Brands We Service
We install a lot of Cambria quartz in Sacramento kitchens. It’s an American-made surface with its own lifetime warranty, and it handles the wear of family kitchens without the annual sealing that natural stone demands. If you’re comparing Cambria to Silestone or Caesarstone, we’ll walk you through the differences in stain resistance, pattern consistency, and price before you commit.
Kohler and Moen are our standard fixture lines because their valves and cartridges are serviceable years later, and we can get parts same-day from local suppliers. James Hardie siding shows up on whole-home remodels and garage conversions where the exterior needs to match. Whether you have one of these brands or any other make, we can help.

- Water staining on the ceiling below a bathroom. That’s usually a leaking shower pan or a failed tub drain. The longer it runs, the more subfloor and framing rot you’re paying to replace.
- Cracked tiles or loose grout in a shower. Water is getting behind the tile, and in most Sacramento homes the substrate wasn’t built for that. Mold and structural damage follow.
- Cabinet doors that don’t close or drawers that bind. This is often humidity swelling or a failed hinge, but it can also mean the cabinet boxes are no longer square because the floor has shifted.
- Electrical outlets that are warm, spark, or trip the breaker repeatedly. This is a genuine safety issue and warrants a licensed professional immediately. Don’t keep resetting the breaker and hoping it stops.
- A remodel quote that changed after demo started. If you’re already burned, you know the pattern: a low verbal estimate, a deposit, and a “we found some issues” phone call. That’s not how The Kingswell Way works.
Our Process, Step by Step
- 1
Call or request an estimate. A live person answers (279) 300-1177 around the clock. We’ll ask a few questions about scope, timeline, and materials, and schedule a walkthrough.
- 2
Site visit and inspection. We inspect the structure, check the existing plumbing and electrical, and measure. We’re looking for the things that will drive scope: load-bearing walls, panel capacity, drainage slope.
- 3
Written price and scope. You get a line-item written price before any work starts. It includes materials, labor, permits, and a defined arrival window. The number on day one is the number on the invoice.
- 4
Scheduled work, clean job site. Crews arrive in uniform, work zones are contained, and the site is cleaned at the end of each day. You’ll know what’s happening each morning and what’s next.
- 5
Final walkthrough and the 365-Day Done Right Promise. We walk the project with you, pass final inspections, and hand you a written guarantee. If anything fails inside a year, we come back and fix it free. A second visit carries no service call and no re-inspection fee.
How Much Does General Contractor Cost in Sacramento?
A typical kitchen remodel in Sacramento runs $14,000 – $45,000 depending on whether you’re keeping the existing footprint, the cabinet line you choose, and the countertop material. A bathroom remodel runs $9,000 – $28,000, while a small bathroom that keeps its footprint runs $5,000 – $12,000. A home addition is a different animal: $45,000 – $130,000 on average in this market, driven by foundation work, roofing, and how far the addition pushes your existing systems. An ADU construction project runs $90,000 – $220,000.
What pushes the number up or down is predictable: moving plumbing and electrical adds cost, premium brands like Cambria or Wellborn add cost, and the age of your home matters because older Sacramento houses sometimes need panel upgrades or structural reinforcement before finish work can begin. The best way to avoid overpaying is to get a written price before demo starts, done by someone who inspected the structure. Our free estimates include the full scope review, the written price, and the materials list.
