Construction & Remodeling in Elk Grove
Most of Elk Grove was built between 1990 and 2010, and those houses are hitting remodel age all at once. ADC Construction rebuilds builder-grade kitchens, baths and roofs with a licensed, veteran-owned crew based 20 minutes away in Lodi.
Elk Grove’s Builder-Grade Houses Are Due
Drive through Laguna, Franklin or anywhere off Elk Grove Boulevard and you see the same story: good production homes from the 1990s and 2000s whose kitchens, bathrooms and roofs are all aging out on the same clock. Oak cabinets, tile counters, brass fixtures and 25-year shingles that are now on year 27.
That makes Elk Grove one of our steadiest markets. The bones of these houses are modern, so a remodel here is less about surprises behind the walls and more about smart selections, tight scheduling and clean execution. We can take a builder-grade kitchen to fully rebuilt in weeks, not months.
ADC is a licensed California General B contractor, veteran-owned, based in Lodi about 20 minutes south on 99. Adam has been running jobs in Elk Grove since the company launched in 2022, and the short drive means he is on site regularly rather than managing your project by phone.
Kitchens lead the list here. Our Elk Grove kitchen remodeling page covers the usual scope: island reconfiguration, quartz counters, new cabinet boxes rather than reface jobs, and lighting that replaces the single ceiling dome the builder left you.
Roofing is the other big one. Elk Grove’s concrete tile roofs generally hold up, but the underlayment beneath them does not last forever, and the composition roofs on 1990s homes are simply done. We replace both, and we also handle insurance claim roof work after wind and storm damage.
Beyond the house itself, Elk Grove backyards earn their keep. Covered patios and decks extend these homes through the long Valley summer, and a detached ADU fits on many of the larger lots in the older Elk Grove core, where the city processes accessory unit permits routinely.
City of Elk Grove permits are straightforward and we handle them start to finish. First step is a walk-through with Adam and a written scope with real numbers on it.
Three Jobs We Do Over and Over Here
The 1998 Kitchen
White-washed oak, tile counters with dark grout, a peninsula that blocks the room. We gut it, square up the layout, and rebuild with full-height cabinets and quartz. Because these houses have accessible attics and modern wiring, the electrical portion stays predictable.
The Underlayment Roof
Concrete tile looks permanent, but the felt beneath it fails around year 30. We lift the tile, replace the underlayment and flashing, and relay the same tile. Costs far less than a new roof and buys decades.
The Pre-Sale Push
Sellers call us for the paint, flooring, fixture and drywall package that moves a listing. We run these on a hard deadline with your agent’s timeline in writing and the punch list closed before photos.

Straight Answers for Elk Grove
How much of Elk Grove’s housing actually needs remodeling?
Most of the city was built between 1990 and 2010, so tens of thousands of homes are now 20 to 35 years old. Kitchens, master baths and roofs from that era are all reaching end of life, which is exactly the work we do most.
Do you replace tile roof underlayment without replacing the tile?
Yes. If your concrete tile is sound we lift it, install new underlayment and flashings, and relay the original tile. You get a watertight roof without paying for material you do not need.
Can you finish a kitchen before the holidays if we sign in early fall?
Usually. Elk Grove kitchens run efficiently because the houses are modern, and cabinet lead time is the long pole. Sign early, pick cabinets early, and the build itself moves quickly.
Do you handle City of Elk Grove permits and inspections?
Start to finish. We prepare the plans, pull the permit, schedule every inspection and meet the inspector on site. You never stand in line at the permit counter.
Will you do smaller jobs, or only full remodels?
We take on drywall repair, single-bathroom updates and similar mid-size work when the schedule allows, and we treat them with the same written scope. Call and ask, worst case we point you to a start date.
Who actually runs the job day to day?
Adam does. He is a US Army veteran, holds the General B license, and supervises his own sites. You get his cell number on day one.
Do you work in both the older Elk Grove core and the newer Laguna areas?
Yes. The older core off Elk Grove Boulevard has homes back to the 1980s and earlier that need deeper systems work, while Laguna and Franklin homes are mostly cosmetic-plus updates. We scope each house for what it actually is.
Can you add a covered patio to a stucco two-story?
Regularly. Attachment to stucco over wood framing has to hit structure, not just sheathing, and the ledger detail has to keep water out of the wall. We engineer it, flash it correctly and permit it through the city.
