Home Remodeling and Additions — Crafting Spaces Families Love Since 1959
Your home should reflect how you actually live — not how it was built decades ago. Whether your kitchen feels too cramped, your family has outgrown its square footage, or you simply want to invest in a space that works better for your daily life, CRBR’s home remodeling and additions services can bring your vision to life. Since 1959, our licensed team has been transforming homes and creating meaningful spaces across Chico, Yuba City, Sacramento, Redding, and Reno. We combine the craftsmanship of a seasoned contractor with the communication and care that only comes from a team that has been part of these communities for generations.
Why Homeowners Choose CRBR for Home Remodeling and Additions
Choosing a remodeling contractor is a significant decision. Moreover, it is one that affects your home’s value, your family’s daily life, and your peace of mind for years to come. Homeowners across Northern California and Nevada have trusted CRBR for home remodeling and additions because we bring three things that are genuinely rare in this industry: deep local experience, licensed construction expertise, and honest communication throughout every phase of the project.
Furthermore, because CRBR is both a certified restoration company and a licensed general contractor, we bring a level of structural awareness to remodeling work that most remodelers simply cannot match. We know what is behind walls, under floors, and above ceilings — and we know how to work around it cleanly. That background means fewer surprises, tighter timelines, and results that hold up for decades.
We do not subcontract our core work to unfamiliar crews. Additionally, our project managers remain engaged throughout every job, from the first design conversation to the final walkthrough. That consistency is something our customers notice — and appreciate.
Our Home Remodeling and Additions Services
CRBR offers a comprehensive range of residential remodeling and home addition services. Specifically, we take on projects of all sizes, from a single bathroom refresh to a full ground-up home addition. Here is what our team delivers:
Kitchen Remodels
The kitchen is often the most-used room in a home, and consequently it is frequently the first place where an upgrade pays off in both quality of life and resale value. Our kitchen remodeling services include full layout redesigns, cabinet installation and custom cabinetry, countertop replacement, flooring, electrical updates, lighting, plumbing fixture upgrades, and all finish work. Furthermore, we help you make material and design decisions that balance your aesthetic goals with your budget — because a kitchen remodel should feel like an investment, not a compromise.
Bathroom Remodels
A well-designed bathroom adds real value to a home. Additionally, it transforms a purely functional space into one that genuinely feels good to use every day. Our bathroom remodeling work covers everything from tile selection and shower pan replacement to full gut-and-rebuild transformations. We handle vanity installation, plumbing rough-ins, heated flooring, frameless glass enclosures, lighting upgrades, and all finish carpentry. Whether you are updating a guest bathroom or creating a primary suite retreat, our team delivers quality that lasts.
Room Additions
Sometimes the right answer is not a remodel — it is more space. Accordingly, our room addition services allow you to expand your home’s footprint without the cost and disruption of moving. We design and build room additions that integrate seamlessly with your existing structure, matching exterior finishes, interior trim profiles, and flooring so the new space feels like it was always there. Common additions we complete include primary bedroom suites, home offices, family rooms, sunrooms, and expanded living or dining areas.
Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs)
ADUs are one of the most valuable investments a California or Nevada property owner can make right now. Furthermore, they serve as rental income sources, multigenerational living spaces, or flexible guest accommodations. Our team handles the full ADU process — site assessment, permit applications, foundation work, framing, mechanical systems, insulation, interior finishes, and final inspections. Moreover, we navigate the specific ADU requirements of each jurisdiction in our service areas, including Butte County, Sutter County, Sacramento County, Shasta County, and Washoe County.
Second-Story Additions
Adding a second story is one of the most transformative projects a homeowner can undertake. Additionally, it dramatically increases square footage without consuming yard space. Our structural team assesses your existing foundation and framing before any addition work begins, ensuring the structure can safely support the new level. We then manage the complete process — from engineering coordination and permitting to framing, roofing, insulation, mechanical rough-ins, and full interior completion.
Whole-Home Remodels & Renovations
Some homes need more than a targeted update. Therefore, CRBR offers whole-home remodeling services for homeowners who want to transform their property comprehensively — updating layouts, replacing outdated systems, modernizing finishes, and improving energy efficiency throughout. Our project managers coordinate each trade in sequence, keeping the project moving efficiently and communicating clearly with you at every milestone.
Home Upgrades & Interior Improvements
Not every project requires a full remodel. Sometimes the highest-impact changes are targeted ones — new flooring throughout the main level, updated lighting and electrical, fresh interior paint, new doors and trim, or an upgraded HVAC system. Consequently, CRBR handles a full range of interior improvement projects that increase comfort, functionality, and value without the scope of a full renovation.
Garage Conversions
Converting an attached or detached garage into livable space is a cost-effective way to add square footage. Moreover, garage conversions are particularly popular in our service areas as ADU-adjacent projects or as dedicated home office and studio spaces. Our team handles structural modifications, insulation, HVAC connections, electrical, drywall, flooring, and all finish work to produce a comfortable, code-compliant livable space.
Remodeling Services Across All Our Locations
CRBR serves homeowners from five branches, each staffed by local teams who understand the specific permitting requirements, building codes, and design preferences of their region.
Home Remodeling in Chico, CA
Our Chico team has been remodeling and building homes in Butte County since 1959. Therefore, they bring unmatched familiarity with local inspectors, permit timelines, and the architectural character of homes throughout the North Valley. From post-fire home renovations in Paradise to kitchen remodels in west Chico neighborhoods, our team has seen — and successfully completed — it all.
Remodeling and Additions in Yuba City, CA
Our Yuba City branch serves Sutter County and surrounding communities. Additionally, they specialize in remodeling projects for the area’s diverse mix of older ranch homes and newer residential developments. Whether you are adding a room addition to a 1970s home or completely renovating a kitchen in a newer build, our team delivers results that complement the property and increase its value.
Home Remodeling Services in Sacramento, CA
Sacramento homeowners benefit from CRBR’s full remodeling capabilities across the metro area. Furthermore, our Sacramento team manages projects ranging from Midtown bungalow renovations to large room additions in the suburbs. They understand Sacramento County permitting, work with City of Sacramento inspectors regularly, and have completed successful remodeling projects throughout the greater capital region.
Remodeling Contractor in Redding, CA
Our Redding branch serves Shasta County and neighboring counties, including Tehama, Trinity, and Lassen. Additionally, the Redding team brings particular expertise in working with older residential stock and in managing additions that must account for local seismic and fire-safety requirements. Their experience in post-wildfire rebuilds also informs their approach to structural improvements — because understanding what makes a home resilient matters in every project.
Home Additions and Remodels in Reno, NV
CRBR’s Reno branch opened in 2013 and has since become a trusted remodeling partner for homeowners across the Reno-Sparks metro area. Moreover, the Reno team operates under Nevada contractor licensing and is experienced with Washoe County building department requirements. From bathroom remodels in established Reno neighborhoods to ADU builds in newer Sparks developments, our team delivers the same quality and communication CRBR is known for throughout Northern California.
How We Manage Your Remodeling Project
A remodeling project should never feel like a mystery. Therefore, CRBR follows a clear, structured process that keeps you informed and in control from the first conversation to the final handoff.
Step 1 — Initial Consultation & Design Discussion We start with a conversation about your goals, your budget, and your timeline. Our project managers listen carefully, ask the right questions, and bring honest input about what is realistic. Furthermore, we can coordinate design consultation for projects where layout decisions significantly affect cost or livability.
Step 2 — Detailed Estimate & Scope Development We provide a thorough, itemized estimate with no hidden costs. Additionally, we walk you through every line so you understand exactly what you are getting and why. If adjustments are needed, we discuss them before any work begins.
Step 3 — Permitting & Pre-Construction Planning Our team handles all required permit applications and manages the pre-construction coordination in your jurisdiction. Moreover, we schedule all required inspections in advance so the project moves without unnecessary delays.
Step 4 — Construction with Daily Oversight Our licensed crews execute the work under direct supervision from your project manager. Consequently, quality is maintained at every phase — not just reviewed at the end. You receive regular updates and have direct access to your project manager throughout.
Step 5 — Final Walkthrough & Project Completion We complete every project with a thorough walkthrough alongside you. Furthermore, our standard is simple: we do not consider the job finished until you are completely satisfied. We then finalize all documentation and permit close-outs.
Home Remodeling and Additions — What Sets CRBR Apart
Plenty of contractors remodel homes. Fewer do it with the depth of structural knowledge, licensed oversight, and community roots that CRBR brings. Here is what consistently distinguishes our work:
65 Years of Trusted Local Experience CRBR has been building and improving homes in Northern California and Nevada since 1959. Consequently, our team understands how homes in this region were built, what the most common structural challenges are, and what local inspectors expect. That institutional knowledge produces better outcomes — and fewer surprises mid-project.
One Team, Full Scope Additionally, because CRBR is also a full-service restoration and general contractor, we are uniquely equipped to handle remodeling projects that uncover unexpected issues — outdated wiring, hidden water damage, or subfloor deterioration. Rather than stopping the project to find another contractor, our team addresses those issues in-house and keeps the job moving.
Transparent Communication We believe high communication is fundamental to a successful remodeling project. Therefore, our project managers maintain consistent contact with every client, providing updates before you have to ask. That transparency protects your budget, your timeline, and your trust.
Licensed, Bonded & Insured Every remodeling project CRBR undertakes is performed by a licensed, bonded, and insured team. Furthermore, we are an EPA Lead-Safe Certified Firm (NAT-30423-2), which is particularly important for remodeling work in homes built before 1978.

Frequently Asked Questions About Home Remodeling and Additions
How long does a typical home remodeling project take in Chico, Sacramento, Redding, Yuba City, or Reno?
Timelines vary significantly by scope. Furthermore, permit timelines in each jurisdiction affect the schedule before construction even begins. A bathroom remodel typically takes two to four weeks of active construction. A room addition or second-story expansion can take three to six months or more. We provide a detailed schedule estimate during the scoping phase so you have realistic expectations from the start.
Do you handle permits for home additions in California and Nevada?
Yes. Our team manages all permit applications and inspection scheduling in every jurisdiction we serve, including Butte County, Sutter County, Sacramento County, Shasta County, and Washoe County. Moreover, we track all permit milestones so you never have to chase the building department yourself.
Can CRBR remodel a home that also has storm or water damage?
Absolutely — and this is one of our most significant advantages. Additionally, because CRBR manages both restoration and remodeling work in-house, we can assess damage, complete all necessary mitigation work, and transition directly into your planned remodel without disruption. You deal with one team and one project manager throughout.
Are you licensed to do remodeling work in Nevada?
Yes. Our Reno branch holds current Nevada State Contractors Board licensing for all construction and remodeling work in Nevada. Furthermore, our team is experienced with Washoe County permitting and inspection requirements.
Do you work on older homes that may contain lead or asbestos?
We do. CRBR is an EPA Lead-Safe Certified Firm, and our team is trained in the proper protocols for handling lead-based materials in pre-1978 homes. Additionally, for projects that may involve asbestos, we coordinate proper testing and abatement in full compliance with Cal/OSHA and applicable Nevada regulations before any demolition proceeds.
