Remodeling Company in Fairfax, CA
Bradford Remodeling handles general contracting, kitchen remodeling, and whole-home remodeling throughout Fairfax, CA. If you’re pricing a project in Fairfax, expect two things: a housing stock that runs heavily toward older wood-frame homes built on hillside lots, and a permit process in Marin County that rewards contractors who document everything up front. That’s the work we do every day. Call (903) 568-7222 for a free estimate.
Why Fairfax Homes Are Different
Fairfax sits in the Ross Valley, and the terrain shapes the work more than anything else. Lots on streets like Scenic Road, Cascade Drive, and Manor Road often climb steeply, which means two things on most remodels: retaining-wall considerations when we open up a hillside, and careful substrate inspection on decks and additions. Older Fairfax homes – many built between the 1920s and 1960s – commonly have redwood framing, which is good material but rarely matches modern load tables without some structural adjustment. That’s not a problem; it’s just a scope item a contractor has to plan for before demolition starts, not after.
The second thing is moisture. Fairfax gets real rain in winter, and many older houses sit under dense oak and redwood canopy. We regularly find soffit rot and sill-plate damage on the shady side of a home, hidden until cabinets come out or siding gets pulled. Our written estimates in Fairfax always include a contingency line for exactly what we find once the wall is open, because we’d rather show you the number on paper first than surprise you with a change order later.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Fairfax Services
Fairfax homeowners call us most often about three things: a full general-contracting job, a kitchen remodel, or a larger home remodel that touches several rooms at once. Each service has its own Fairfax page with pricing, timelines, and the specific materials we use.
General Contractor in Fairfax
General contracting in Fairfax usually means coordinating multiple trades on a project with a structural component: a hillside addition, a garage conversion, or a major repair after water intrusion. We run the full scope – demolition, framing, electrical, plumbing, finishes – and keep the permit set current with Marin County. The written scope and price come before any work starts. Learn more on our General Contractor in Fairfax page.
Kitchen Remodeling in Fairfax
Kitchens in Fairfax tend to be compact and original to the house, which means we’re usually working within a 100- to 160-square-foot footprint and shifting mechanicals rather than expanding walls. Cabinet lines like KraftMaid and Wellborn hold up well in coastal humidity, and we spec countertops from Cambria or Caesarstone because they outlast laminate in a busy kitchen. See the full price breakdown on our Kitchen Remodeling in Fairfax page.
Home Remodeling in Fairfax
Whole-home remodeling in Fairfax often means bringing an older hillside house up to current code while keeping the original character: new windows, upgraded electrical, a reworked floor plan, sometimes a full exterior refresh with James Hardie siding. The home’s age usually means some unpermitted work from a previous owner surfaces during the permit phase, and fixing that becomes part of the job. We handle that as a line item, not a surprise. Details are on our Home Remodeling in Fairfax page.

FAQs About Remodeling Company in Fairfax
Scheduling depends on the current queue and the scope of your project. Smaller jobs like a bathroom vanity or cabinet installation often start within a few weeks; larger remodels and additions are booked further out. Call (903) 568-7222 and we’ll give you a straight answer on timing during the estimate.
Most structural work, any electrical or plumbing change, and additions require permits through Marin County. We pull all permits and manage the inspections as part of the written scope. Unpermitted work discovered during a remodel has to be corrected, and we handle that as a documented line item, not a surprise.
Yes. We do design-build work, which means our team handles the drawings, the permit set, and the construction under one contract and one written price.
