Trusted General Contractor for Sacramento Homeowners

Bradford Remodeling Co Sacramento does all three, and has since joining the Garrison Partners family in 2004. We run every project through The Garrison Standard: a written price before any work starts, a documented scope you sign off on, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise that puts our guarantee in writing, not in a handshake. Curtis Lane leads our Sacramento team, and he holds every job to that standard. Call (279) 226-1509 and a live person answers, day or night.

Styles & brands we work with
Construction Company
A construction company in Sacramento handles the structural and finish work that turns a plan into a finished room, addition, or exterior upgrade. Bradford Remodeling Co Sacramento operates as a by-the-book construction company that documents every scope item, schedules every phase, and runs crews that arrive in uniform and leave the site clean. Most of the work homeowners call us for falls into three price bands: a small kitchen remodel runs $9,000 – $20,000, a full kitchen remodel runs $14,000 – $45,000, and a bathroom remodel runs $9,000 – $28,000. Those are written ranges you’ll see on paper before you commit, not verbal estimates that drift.
Full Project Management
We act as the single point of accountability: scheduling subcontractors, pulling permits where required, and coordinating material deliveries so a project doesn’t stall waiting on tile or trim. That means you don’t chase plumbers or electricians. Curtis Lane and the Bradford crew chase them, and the schedule is documented in your written scope.
Exterior and Structural Work
Sacramento’s summer heat and winter rain put real stress on driveways, roofs, and fencing, so exterior work is a core part of what we do as a construction company and why homeowners follow our General Contractor Maintenance Checklist for Sacramento Homeowners. Paver driveways run $7,000 – $18,000, concrete driveways $4,500 – $12,000, and vinyl fencing $3,500 – $9,000. Roof replacements run $8,000 – $20,000, and we use GAF and CertainTeed products whose manufacturer warranties back our own guarantee.
Remodeling Contractor
A remodeling contractor in Sacramento specializes in transforming existing spaces, and that’s where Bradford Remodeling Co Sacramento does its most concentrated work. Kitchen and bath remodels are the bulk of our workload, but we also handle whole-home remodels and additions. The Garrison Standard applies to every one of them: a written price, a documented scope, and a signed 365-Day Done Right Promise before a single tool comes out. Kitchen remodels run $14,000 – $45,000, small kitchens $9,000 – $20,000, and a home addition runs $45,000 – $130,000 depending on square footage and structural demands.
Kitchen and Bath Work
We install KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, Cambria and Caesarstone surfaces, and Kohler and Moen fixtures as standard, which means your specifications are traceable to a manufacturer’s spec sheet. Backsplash installation runs $800 – $2,500, countertop installation $2,000 – $6,500, and cabinet installation $4,000 – $13,000. Every line item appears in your written quote, so you’ll know exactly what each finish costs before we order it.
Whole-Home Remodels
When a remodel touches more than one room, we coordinate the rough-in, drywall, finish carpentry, and close-out as one continuous schedule, not a series of disconnected trades. That’s the difference between a six-month remodel and an eighteen-month remodel. The Garrison Code governs site conduct: clean work areas, covered materials, and a site left squared away at the end of every day.
Licensed General Contractor
A licensed general contractor in Sacramento is the legal and operational entity that holds the permits, carries the insurance, and bears the responsibility for the work, and that’s the role Bradford Remodeling Co Sacramento fills on every project. Hiring unlicensed labor on a remodel is a gamble you don’t want to take: if something goes wrong, you hold the liability. Homeowners who hire us get a written contract, a documented scope, and a full-year written guarantee. Kitchen remodels run $14,000 – $45,000, bathrooms $9,000 – $28,000, and driveways $4,500 – $18,000 depending on material.
Permit and Code Compliance
Sacramento has specific building codes, and a licensed general contractor knows which projects trigger permit requirements and which don’t. We handle the paperwork, schedule inspections, and correct any issues an inspector flags. The Garrison Standard means we don’t cut corners on code: the work is done to pass inspection, not to look finished in a photo.
Insurance and Accountability
We’re insured and bonded, and we carry that documentation to every estimate. That matters when a crew is working inside your home and around your family. Background-checked, uniformed technicians are the standard on every Bradford job, set at the Garrison Partners level, not left to the discretion of a job-site lead.
Residential General Contractor
A residential general contractor in Sacramento works specifically on homes, not commercial buildings, and that focus matters because residential work has different code requirements, different materials, and a different relationship with the homeowner. Bradford Remodeling Co Sacramento is exclusively a residential general contractor, and the homeowners we serve in Sacramento, Elk Grove, Rancho Cordova, and with a General Contractor in West Sacramento are typically between 35 and 65, tired of no-shows and re-priced bids. Kitchen remodels run $14,000 – $45,000, small bathrooms $5,000 – $12,000, and walk-in showers $4,500 – $12,000.
Addition and ADU Projects
Home additions and ADUs are the biggest residential projects we take on, and they need a general contractor who can coordinate framing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and finishes without losing the schedule. A home addition runs $45,000 – $130,000, an ADU $90,000 – $220,000, and a garage conversion $30,000 – $80,000. These projects go smoothly when the scope is written clearly at the start, and that’s exactly how we set them up.
Driveway and Hardscape Work
Sacramento homeowners replace driveways for two reasons: age and heat damage. A paver driveway runs $7,000 – $18,000, a concrete driveway $4,500 – $12,000, and driveway sealing $250 – $700. We install Belgard, Unilock, and Tremron pavers, manufacturer-backed products whose specifications we can document in your written quote. If you’re in Fair Oaks or Orangevale, we serve those areas regularly and can quote paver patios from $3,500 – $11,000.
Hire a General Contractor
When you hire a general contractor in Sacramento, or a General Contractor - Elverta nearby, you’re hiring the person or company who takes responsibility for the entire project, and that’s a decision you should make with documentation in hand, not a verbal estimate and a prayer. Bradford Remodeling Co Sacramento gives you a written price before any work starts, and that price does not move unless you change the scope. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers every completed project: if the work fails inside the guarantee window, we come back and fix it at no charge. That’s the difference between hiring a contractor and hiring Bradford.
Questions to Ask Before You Sign
Ask for a written, line-item price. Ask what the guarantee covers and for how long. Ask who will be on site and whether they’re background-checked. If a contractor hesitates on any of those, that hesitation is your answer. We answer all three before you sign anything, because The Garrison Standard requires it.
Red Flags to Avoid
Beware of any contractor who asks for full payment upfront, won’t put the scope in writing, or can’t name the brands they install. Bradford works with documented products: KraftMaid, Wellborn, Cambria, Kohler, GAF, James Hardie, and Therma-Tru. If a contractor can’t tell you what materials they’re pricing, the price is not real.
General Contractor Services
General contractor services in Sacramento span everything from a single-room refresh to a whole-home remodel, and Bradford Remodeling Co Sacramento delivers them under one written contract and one guarantee. Our core services are kitchen remodeling, bathroom remodeling, whole-home remodeling, and home additions, plus the exterior work that ties them together: driveways, patios, fencing, and roofing. Kitchen remodels run $14,000 – $45,000, bathrooms $9,000 – $28,000, and a roof replacement $8,000 – $20,000. Every service gets the same treatment: written scope, documented materials, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Interior Remodeling
Interior remodeling includes everything from cabinet installation ($4,000 – $13,000) and countertops ($2,000 – $6,500) to full kitchen and bath tear-outs. We install KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, Cambria and Caesarstone surfaces, and Kohler and Moen fixtures. Your written quote lists each item, so there’s no line for “miscellaneous materials” that grows later.
Exterior and Structural Services
Exterior work includes driveway replacement ($5,000 – $14,000), vinyl fence installation ($3,500 – $9,000), and window replacement ($4,500 – $15,000). We also handle impact window installation ($8,000 – $25,000) for homeowners in Citrus Heights and Antelope who want stronger protection against Sacramento’s heat and seasonal storms. Every exterior project gets the same written guarantee as an interior remodel.

Brands We Service
Bradford Remodeling Co Sacramento works with a documented roster of name-brand materials, not whatever a supplier happens to have on the shelf that week. KraftMaid and Wellborn supply our cabinetry for kitchen and bath work, and their manufacturer specs and warranties are included in your written quote. Cambria and Caesarstone surfaces are installed with the tolerances those manufacturers require, because a countertop that cracks inside a year is a callback we don’t want and you shouldn’t accept.
On the exterior side, we install GAF and CertainTeed roofing products, James Hardie siding, and Therma-Tru doors. For hardscaping, we work with Belgard, Unilock, and Tremron pavers, all with documented specifications. Whether your project calls for Kohler fixtures or a full kitchen of Wellborn cabinetry, we can source it, document it, and stand behind it for a full year.

AfterSigns You Need a Pro Right Now
- Visible water stains on ceilings or walls. Stains mean water is intruding somewhere, and by the time you see them, the substrate has already been wet for a while. A general contractor can trace the source and repair the damage before mold or rot spreads.
- Cracked or sagging driveway surface. Sacramento’s freeze-thaw cycles are mild, but summer heat expands concrete and causes cracks that widen every year. A cracked driveway lets water reach the base layer, and that leads to potholes, not hairline cracks.
- Kitchen or bath fixtures failing one after another. When one cabinet hinge fails, that’s wear. When the hinges, drawer slides, and faucet all fail within months, it’s a sign of cheap original materials. A full remodel with documented brands fixes the root problem instead of patching symptoms.
- Doors or windows that stick in summer. Sacramento’s temperature swings cause frames to expand and contract. Sticking windows and doors signal foundation or framing movement that a licensed general contractor should assess before it worsens.
- Electrical or plumbing work that was done without permits. Unpermitted work is a liability when you sell, and it’s often done to code minimums or below. A general contractor can inspect, document, and correct the work so it passes inspection, not just looks finished.
Our Process, Step by Step
- 1
Call and talk to a live person. Call (279) 226-1509 and describe the project. You’ll speak to a real person, day or night, not a voicemail system. We’ll schedule a site visit at a time that works for you.
- 2
On-site walkthrough and written quote. Curtis Lane or a senior Bradford lead walks the site, measures what needs measuring, and answers your questions in plain language. Within days, you get a written, line-item quote. That number does not move unless you change the scope.
- 3
Scope sign-off and scheduling. You review the written scope, we adjust anything you want adjusted, and you sign. Then we schedule the work with a start date and a clear sequence of phases, so you know what happens week one, week two, and beyond.
- 4
Execution under The Garrison Code. Background-checked, uniformed technicians arrive on schedule, work clean, and cover materials at the end of each day. We coordinate subcontractors, inspections, and material deliveries so the job moves without you playing project manager.
- 5
Close-out and written guarantee. When the work is done, we walk the site with you, document the finished scope, and put the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If anything fails inside that year, we come back and correct it at no charge. That’s what “squared away” looks like.
How Much Does General Contractor Cost in Sacramento?
General contractor costs in Sacramento vary by project type, but the ranges are predictable when the scope is written clearly. A small kitchen remodel runs $9,000 – $20,000, while a full kitchen remodel with new cabinetry, countertops, and appliances runs $14,000 – $45,000. Bathroom remodels run $9,000 – $28,000, with smaller bathrooms at $5,000 – $12,000. Exterior work follows a similar pattern: a concrete driveway runs $4,500 – $12,000, a paver driveway $7,000 – $18,000, and a roof replacement $8,000 – $20,000. Home additions are the biggest investment, running $45,000 – $130,000, and ADU construction runs $90,000 – $220,000.
What moves the price: square footage, material grades, structural changes like moving walls or plumbing, and the condition of the existing substrate. A kitchen remodel that keeps the current footprint costs less than one that opens a wall into a dining room. The best way to avoid overpaying is to get a written, line-item quote and compare it against the scope, not against a vague verbal number. At Bradford, every estimate is free, written, and itemized. Call (279) 226-1509 and we’ll put your numbers on paper, with no pressure to sign.
