Remodeling Help Within Reach of Berkeley

Whatever the project, the same nearby crew is the one to call. It all sits with one team that quotes it up front and stands behind it.

Basement Finishing

RG Home Remodeling finishes basements across Berkeley and the inner East Bay. Under an older Berkeley flat or bungalow, the lower level is often some of the most cost-effective square footage a home can gain, because the shell already exists. The catch is that a basement becomes living space only when the moisture, the framing, the insulation, and the systems are handled to the standard a living area requires, not the standard a storage cellar gets. We plan the work around that reality from the start.

Custom Carpentry

RG Home Remodeling builds custom carpentry across Berkeley and the inner East Bay. The carpentry is what you touch and see every day, from the cabinets in a remodeled kitchen to the trim and built-ins that give an older home its finished feel. We build cabinetry, shelving, paneling, stairs, and fine trim, matched to the style of a bungalow, a brown-shingle, or a flat, and made from solid, well-chosen materials.

General Contracting

RG Home Remodeling provides full-service general contracting across Berkeley and the inner East Bay. A remodel in an older home has dozens of moving parts, trades, materials, inspections, and decisions, and the difference between a smooth project and a miserable one is who is keeping all of it in order. On every job we run, one accountable lead owns the plans, the permits, the schedule, the budget, and the communication, so the work happens in the right sequence and you always know where things stand.

Home Additions

RG Home Remodeling plans and builds home additions across Berkeley and the inner East Bay. An addition is the right answer when you love your block but your house has run out of room, a bigger kitchen, another bedroom or bath, a real family room, or a second story over a one-level bungalow. On the tight lots common in South Berkeley and the Elmwood, the hard part is rarely the new square footage. It is tying the new space into an older home so the result looks like it always belonged, and that tie-in is what we plan for from the very first sketch.

Home Renovation

RG Home Remodeling plans and builds whole-home renovations across Berkeley and the inner East Bay. A whole-home renovation is the chance to keep the home and the block you love while reworking a closed-off layout, modernizing the kitchen and baths, replacing aging wiring and plumbing, and bringing the finishes up to current taste and code. In an older South Berkeley flat or an Elmwood bungalow, that is often the smartest money you can spend. We plan the renovation as one project, scope it honestly, and build it with one accountable crew.

Kitchen & Bath Remodeling

RG Home Remodeling remodels kitchens and baths across Berkeley and the inner East Bay. These are the rooms you use most and the ones that date an older home the fastest, and they are also the most technical to get right, because they pack plumbing, electrical, tile, cabinetry, and waterproofing into a small footprint. In a bungalow or a flat where the original kitchen was built for a different era, we plan the remodel around how you actually use the room, then build it with the systems and the waterproofing done correctly behind the finishes.

How a Berkeley Job Unfolds

1

We Close It Out Clean

We finish with a clean site, a final inspection, and a walk-through that shows you how everything works. You get a documented handover, the systems explained, and the warranty in writing.

2

What Made You Call

We start with your goals, not a stock package. A good design starts with knowing what prompted the call in the first place.

3

You Approve The Design

The design you approve is the design we build. We put the whole design and price in writing up front, no games.

4

The Design Consult

A real contractor looks at your actual home or lot before anything is recommended. It begins with your vision and an honest read on the site, not a sales pitch.

Our Berkeley crew handles the whole project: general contracting to manage the trades and the permits, a home addition to add the room you need, a gut renovation to transform a home you already love, a bathroom remodel for the rooms you use most, architectural millwork for the built-ins and trim you see every day, and basement conversion to turn empty space below into real living space.
