Why Bradford Remodeling Is Davis’s Preferred General Contractor Company
We run every Davis project through The Garrison Standard, which means one thing: a written price before any work starts. No numbers that move at the door. No allowances left vague enough to bite you later. Homeowners in Davis call us because they’ve been burned by contractors who gave a handshake quote and then sent a bill that looked nothing like the conversation.
Our Davis customers deal with background-checked, uniformed technicians on every job. You know who is walking through your door before the crew arrives. And when you call, a live person answers. Not a voicemail tree. Not a callback queue. A person, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Every completed project is covered by the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the work fails inside that first year, we come back and make it right at no charge. That guarantee is in writing, signed, and in your hand at job close, alongside a documented scope of work and a clean site that does not look like a war zone when we leave.
Styles & brands we work with
Remodeling Contractor in Davis
As a remodeling contractor working across Davis, CA, Bradford Remodeling handles kitchens, bathrooms, whole-home renovations, and structural work that starts at the studs and ends with finish carpentry, paint, and a final walkthrough. A typical Davis kitchen remodel runs $14,000 to $45,000, while a bathroom remodel lands between $9,000 and $28,000. The spread depends on the condition of the framing, the plan-check requirements on your specific street, and where you land on materials.
Kitchen and Bath Remodels
We set KraftMaid or Wellborn cabinets on leveled subflooring, install Cambria or Caesarstone surfaces, and rough in plumbing and electrical to current code before any drywall goes up. On a 1960s ranch house off Sycamore Lane near West Davis, our crew tore out a galley kitchen down to the studs, re-roughed the plumbing and electrical, then set KraftMaid cabinets and a Cambria quartz island. The homeowners approved the scope and allowances in writing before demolition, so when plan check flagged the load-bearing wall removal for a new header, the change order was priced and signed the same day.
Room Additions and Whole-Home Work
Room additions in Davis run $45,000 to $130,000, and we will not quote that number without understanding the soil under your foundation first. Central Davis sits on expansive clay, and the geotechnical report often dictates deeper footings and post-tension slabs. That is a hard cost you need to know about before the framing crew shows up, not after.
Licensed General Contractor in Davis
As a licensed general contractor in Davis, CA, Bradford Remodeling pulls permits, schedules inspections, and manages the subcontractors so you are not chasing down plumbers or electricians on your own. The city of Davis requires residential additions and ADUs to go through a plan check that includes a solar-readiness and energy-compliance review. That review adds time to the front end of the job, and we build that into the schedule from day one.
Permits, Plan Check, and Scheduling
Davis plan check is not a rubber stamp. For an ADU construction project, which runs $90,000 to $220,000 in Davis, plan check can take weeks, and failing to account for that on the front end leaves you with a hole in the ground and a crew sitting idle. We sequence the job so demolition, rough-in, and inspection dates are on a calendar you can actually read. When the city needs a revision, we price it, get your signature, and keep moving.
Written Scope and Fixed Numbers
The Garrison Standard means every Davis project gets a written scope of work and a written price before a single tool comes out. If we find a rotted sill plate or a subfloor that needs work during demo, that becomes a priced change order. You approve it in writing or we do not do it. No surprises at final invoice.
Trusted Brands We Service in Davis
We install and service materials from brands with manufacturer specs and warranties that back our own guarantee. In Davis kitchens and baths, that means KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, Cambria and Caesarstone surfaces, Kohler and Moen fixtures, and more. We keep relationships with local Davis suppliers so special-order trim, drawer fronts, and replacement hardware turn around quickly. If you are building an ADU or addition, we also work with prefab and panelized options like Abodu, Dvele, and Mighty Buildings when the site and the Davis plan-check review support that approach. We do not leave material choices to guesswork. Everything is documented, sourced, and spec’d by name.

AfterCommon General Contractor Problems We See in Davis Homes
- Plan-check timelines not baked into the schedule. Davis requires solar-readiness and energy-compliance review on additions and ADUs. A contractor who does not build that into the calendar leaves you waiting on permits while the project stalls. We schedule around it and tell you the real start date before you sign.
- Clay-soil footings ignored until it is too late. Central Davis sits on expansive clay. If the geotechnical report is skipped, you get a slab that moves and cracks. We insist on the soil review before we quote a home addition or garage conversion, because the price changes based on what is under the dirt.
- Vague allowances for finishes. A Davis homeowner picks Silestone counters and Kohler fixtures, then finds out the budget assumed builder-grade. Our written allowances name the brands and the grades so your selections match what you actually approved.
- Load-bearing walls discovered mid-demo. Older Davis ranch homes, especially the 1960s stock west of Highway 113, often hide structural surprises. When that happens, we price the header, get your signature, and keep the job moving. You do not find out about it on the final invoice.

FAQs About General Contractor in Davis
Yes. Any remodel in Davis that moves plumbing, electrical, or structural walls requires a permit from the city. Kitchen and bath remodels that go down to the studs almost always need rough-in inspections, and additions or ADUs go through plan check with solar-readiness and energy-compliance review. We pull the permits, schedule the inspections, and make sure the job passes before we call it done. Call (903) 568-7222 for a free estimate.
A typical Davis kitchen remodel runs 6 to 12 weeks from the day you sign the contract to final inspection, depending on plan-check timing, material lead times, and what the framing looks like once demolition starts. We build the plan-check window into the schedule before you sign, so you are not waiting on the city with a gutted kitchen. Call (903) 568-7222 to talk through your specific timeline.
The three biggest cost drivers in Davis are the soil conditions, the plan-check requirements, and the finishes you select. Expansive clay in central Davis often means deeper footings and post-tension slabs on additions. Davis plan check adds engineering and energy-compliance costs. And surfaces like Cambria quartz or Kohler fixtures cost more than builder-grade alternatives. We name every line item in writing before work starts. Call (903) 568-7222 for a written quote.
A draw schedule is a written payment plan tied to completed milestones, not a lump sum up front. On a large Davis addition or ADU, you pay as phases are completed and inspected, so your money is never too far ahead of the work. We put the draw schedule in the contract before we start, and you approve each draw before the next phase begins. Call (903) 568-7222 to see what a draw schedule looks like on your project.
Yes, we build ADUs and additions throughout Davis, including the neighborhoods around Central Davis, West Davis, and Mace Ranch. The price changes only if the site conditions or the city require something that was not in the written scope. That means a soil report that dictates deeper footings, a plan-check revision that requires engineering changes, or a structural surprise behind the drywall. Every change is priced, written down, and signed by you before we do the work. Call (903) 568-7222 for a free estimate.
