Fast, Reliable General Contractor Across Antelope
Bradford Remodeling runs general contracting work in Antelope the same way every time: a written scope, a written price, and a calendar that accounts for Sacramento County’s permit queue before we open the first wall. We’re not the contractor who gives you a verbal number and hopes the job stays small. We’re the crew that walks your Antelope home, checks what’s behind the drywall, and prices the real job up front. Call (903) 568-7222 and a live person answers, day or night. That’s the Garrison Standard, and it’s in writing before a single tool comes out.
What a General Contractor in Antelope Actually Costs
Let’s skip the vague talk. In Antelope, a kitchen remodel runs $14,000 to $45,000 depending on scope. A bathroom remodel lands between $9,000 and $28,000. A home addition starts around $45,000 and can reach $130,000 by the time plans, engineering, and County sign-off are done. What moves those numbers isn’t mystery; it’s the condition of the house and what’s hiding behind the surfaces. Antelope’s older tract homes routinely hide polybutylene supply lines and 2×4 ceiling joists that force a rough-in re-scope the day we open a wall. We build that reality into the number before you sign.
| Project Type | Antelope Price Range |
|---|---|
| Kitchen Remodel | $14,000 – $45,000 |
| Bathroom Remodel | $9,000 – $28,000 |
| Home Addition | $45,000 – $130,000 |
| Roof Replacement | $8,000 – $20,000 |

| Garage Conversion | $30,000 – $80,000 |
| ADU Construction | $90,000 – $220,000 |
Every one of those ranges reflects what we’ve actually priced and built in Antelope, not a national average with a zip code slapped on it. You get a written line-item price before work starts. That price doesn’t move unless you change the scope, and if it changes, you approve it in writing first. No door-knock re-pricing. No surprise invoices at final walk-through.

Why Bradford Remodeling Is Antelope’s Preferred General Contractor Company
Bradford Remodeling is part of the Garrison Partners family, established in 2004 and independently owned and operated, with every location held to The Garrison Standard. That’s not a marketing phrase. It means we put the price in writing before work begins, every project carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise, and a live person answers our phone 24/7. Curtis Lane leads the team, and he holds the crew to a discipline most Antelope homeowners stopped expecting from remodelers.
Our reputation in Antelope is built on showing up when we say we will, keeping the site clean, and closing every job with a signed written guarantee in your hand. The crews come background-checked and uniformed, so you know exactly who’s walking through your door. We work off Documented materials from KraftMaid, Cambria, Kohler, GAF, James Hardie, and Therma-Tru, so you’re not betting on whatever the supply house had on sale that week.
Homeowners along Elverta Road, around Antelope Crossing, and off Walerga Road call us because they’ve been burned by no-shows and change orders that arrived after demolition. We don’t ask you to trust us. We hand you the terms and let the paperwork do the talking.
Hire a General Contractor in Antelope
Hire a General Contractor in Antelope when the job touches structure, electrical, plumbing, or load-bearing walls. That’s when the county permit process kicks in and a handyman’s verbal estimate turns into a hazard. Antelope is unincorporated Sacramento County, which means project permits route through County Building Permits rather than a city building department. That’s a separate plan-check queue with its own calendar, and it changes how fast a remodel can move. We build that time into the schedule so you’re not staring at an open wall waiting on a plan-check stamp.
Scope Before Demolition
Before we pull a permit, we walk the job with a written scope. That means we open the attic, check the joists, trace the supply lines, and tell you what we found. In Antelope’s older tracts, that often means finding polybutylene pipe that should be replaced while the wall is open. You’d rather know that before demolition than after.
The County Permit Calendar
Sacramento County plan check doesn’t run on a same-week schedule the way a city permit might. We sequence the work so the County inspection happens when it should, not after we’ve already taped and textured. That keeps the job moving and the inspection sign-off clean.
General Contractor Services in Antelope
General Contractor Services in Antelope mean we carry the permit, coordinate the trades, and stand behind the finished work. That includes kitchen and bath remodels, whole-home renovations, room additions, garage conversions, and ADU construction. We don’t sub out the accountability. The 365-Day Done Right Promise stays with Bradford Remodeling, not with whichever sub touched your wall.
Whole-Home and Addition Work
A home addition in Antelope runs $45,000 to $130,000, and the spread accounts for foundation work, engineering on the tie-in, and County inspections at each phase. We write a milestone draw schedule so you see exactly when payments come due and what work each payment covers. No lump-sum asks before the foundation is in.
Kitchen and Bath Remodels
Kitchen remodels in Antelope typically land between $14,000 and $45,000. Bathrooms run $9,000 to $28,000. The line-item price includes cabinetry from KraftMaid or Wellborn, surfaces from Cambria or Caesarstone, and fixtures from Kohler or Moen. Allowances are written, not verbal, so a tile upgrade is a decision you make before we start, not a surprise invoice at the end.

AfterCommon General Contractor Problems We See in Antelope Homes
- Polybutylene supply lines hiding in 1980s and 1990s tracts. These pipes get brittle with age, and opening a wall for a kitchen or bath remodel is often the first time a homeowner learns they’re there. We replace them while the wall is open, which is cheaper than finding out after flood damage.
- 2×4 ceiling joists that turn a cosmetic remodel into structural work. Removing a wall in an older Antelope tract home often reveals a load path that was never engineered for the open floor plan the homeowner wants. We bring in a licensed engineer and fold the beam and change order into the written scope before demolition, not after.
- Unincorporated County permit timing that stalls the job. Sacramento County plan check doesn’t run at city speed. Contractors who quote a three-week kitchen and ignore the plan-check queue leave the homeowner with a torn-out kitchen and a calendar that’s somebody else’s problem.
- Verbal allowances that turn into surprise change orders. When tile, counter, and fixture allowances aren’t written down, every trip to the showroom becomes a renegotiation. We write every allowance into the contract so your $2,000 backsplash doesn’t quietly become a $4,000 backsplash.
Pricing for General Contractor in Antelope, CA
Here’s what moves the price in Antelope: structural surprises in the wall, polybutylene replacement, County permit timing, and the allowance tiers you choose. A kitchen remodel can run $14,000 on the low end when the footprint stays put and we’re swapping cabinets and counters. The same kitchen hits $45,000 when we’re pulling permits, moving plumbing, and upgrading the electrical. A bathroom starts around $9,000 and climbs to $28,000 for a full wet-area rebuild with a curbless shower.

FAQs About General Contractor in Antelope
Yes, you need a permit for most kitchen and bath remodels in Antelope, because the work typically involves electrical, plumbing, or structural changes that trigger Sacramento County Building Permits review. Antelope is unincorporated, so permits route through the County, not a city building department. We pull the permits, manage the inspections, and make sure the job passes plan check and final sign-off. Call (903) 568-7222 and we’ll tell you exactly what your project triggers before we start.
Antelope remodels often cost more than the first estimate because older tract homes hide polybutylene supply lines and undersized 2×4 ceiling joists that don’t show up until a wall is open. A verbal “just cosmetic” estimate skips the wall-open check, so the structural change order lands after demolition. We price the real job up front, with written allowances and a written scope, so the number you sign is the number you plan around.
A kitchen remodel in Antelope typically runs six to twelve weeks, a bathroom four to eight weeks, and a home addition four to twelve months depending on plan-check timing through Sacramento County. The unincorporated County queue is the variable most contractors don’t disclose. We put the plan-check calendar into the schedule before we start, so you know the timeline before we open a wall. Call (903) 568-7222 for a project-specific timeline.
A scope of work is the written list of exactly what we’ll do, down to the rough-in, substrate, and finish level. Allowances are the written dollar amounts set aside for materials like tile, counters, and fixtures, so you pick within a pre-agreed budget. We write both into the contract before work starts, because verbal versions of either are how Antelope homeowners end up with surprise invoices. The Antelope jobs we handle always carry both in writing.
Yes, in most Antelope homes, but the answer depends on whether that wall is load-bearing and what’s running through it. We were scoping a late-1990s kitchen off Elverta Road in Antelope, a 10×12 galley the owner wanted opened up, and our tech found the wall they wanted gone was load-bearing with a 2×4 joist span above it. We paused, brought in an engineer, and folded the new beam, a longer draw schedule, and a written change order into the scope before the first cabinet came out. The finished kitchen ran KraftMaid uppers with a Cambria top and passed County inspection on the first rough-in walk. Call (903) 568-7222 and we’ll tell you what your wall is doing before anyone swings a hammer.
