RG Home Remodeling plans and builds remodels, additions, and renovations in South Berkeley, CA. South Berkeley is dense with the older bungalows, stucco cottages, and two- and three-flats that we remodel best, and we plan every project around the realities of the specific home rather than a stock approach. From the first walk-through through permits, framing, and the full build, one accountable crew owns the project.
Remodeling in South Berkeley means working with the neighborhood's older housing stock, not against it. We plan for the tight lots, the original framing, the aging wiring and plumbing, and the way you want to use the new or reworked space, then handle the plans and the Berkeley permits so the project moves smoothly. The result is a remodel or addition that fits the home, the block, and the way you live.
Remodels and additions planned for South Berkeley homes
Homes in South Berkeley have their own character and their own constraints, and the best project is the one planned around them. We start with a real look at your house: the access for crews and materials on a narrow lot, the condition of the framing and the original systems, the foundation, and how the new or reworked space should relate to the rest of the home. Those details shape what can and should be built.
So many South Berkeley homes are older bungalows and flats that are excellent candidates for a thoughtful remodel: an opened-up kitchen, a reworked bath, a finished lower level, or a careful addition where the lot allows. We plan around how you will actually use the space and what the original house can support, and you see the plan before we break ground.
Because we build what we plan, the scope we hand you is one we already know how to build in a South Berkeley home without expensive surprises. Planning with the real constraints in mind from the start keeps the project moving and the budget honest.
How a South Berkeley project goes
A project in South Berkeley follows the same careful sequence as any of ours. It opens with a free consultation and a walk of the property, then a real plan and a written price. Once you approve the scope, we coordinate any engineering, draw the permit set, and submit to the city.
From there the work progresses through demolition, any structural and framing repairs the old house needs, the rough systems, insulation and drywall, and on to the finishes. Every phase relies on the one before it, and a single crew owning the entire sequence keeps the project moving steadily rather than stalling between separate subs.
The project ends with the final inspections and a walk-through that confirms everything works as it should. We keep you informed at every stage so the build is never a black box.
