We design, build and finish kitchens for Sacramento homeowners with our own in-house team, from the first measurement to the last piece of trim. Capital Construction is a family-owned and operated business and a licensed general contractor holding CA Contractor License #793440, with a showroom and countertop fabrication shop on Auburn Boulevard in Sacramento, CA. If your worry is unfamiliar crews in your house, costs that drift, and a contractor who stops answering the phone, that is exactly what our model is built to prevent: we don’t outsource your project to third parties, and your timeline and costs are put in writing upfront.
Before you hire anyone for a kitchen remodel in Sacramento, confirm their license is active and their insurance is current. Ours is published for that reason. Quality craftsmanship is also what makes the investment hold: a kitchen built well adds long term value to your home, and a kitchen built carelessly quietly takes it away.

Our Full Service Sacramento Kitchen Remodeling Services, Start to Finish
We handle the entire kitchen renovation in-house, from design through final finishes, so one team owns the outcome and one team answers for it. Every stage of the remodeling process happens under one roof: our showroom, our fabrication shop, our craftsmen. Our kitchen remodeling work covers every trade a Sacramento kitchen needs, and Sacramento home remodeling rarely stays in one room, so a project can extend into the dining room, laundry or hallway without a handoff to someone new.
Bathroom Remodeling and Home Remodeling by the Same Crew
The crew that builds your kitchen also handles bathroom remodeling and whole home remodeling. If an outdated bathroom down the hall has been on your list for years, folding it into the same home remodeling project keeps scheduling simple and the mess contained to one stretch of time. Flooring, tiling, cabinets and final painting across your other living spaces are all ours to carry too.
Custom Cabinetry and Storage Design
Custom cabinetry is how we reclaim storage in tight Sacramento floor plans, working the full height and every awkward corner. Cabinet material and construction drive both the look and the cost of a kitchen remodel more than almost any other choice, so we walk through those options with you before anything is ordered.
Countertops Fabricated in Our Own Shop
We fabricate granite, quartz and natural stone countertops in our own Sacramento shop. Granite remains a favorite here, and countertop selection has a real effect on the overall kitchen renovation investment. Fabricating in-house keeps edge profiles, seam placement and finish tolerances under our control rather than an outside schedule.
Kitchen Islands and a Kitchen Layout That Works
A well-placed island adds workspace and becomes the family command center, which is how most Sacramento kitchens actually get used. We shape the kitchen layout around traffic flow and how often your household really cooks, so the room is functional first and photogenic second.
Tile, Backsplash and Flooring
Our own skilled craftsmen set the tile, the backsplash and the flooring. Precise layout, tight grout lines, flawless finishes, no third-party installers walking in on the last week of your kitchen remodel.
Lighting, Appliances and Energy Efficient Solutions
Lighting transforms the ambiance of a kitchen faster than any other single change. Appliance upgrades move the budget, so we price them honestly upfront. Energy efficient solutions, from LED fixtures to better-sealed windows, matter to Sacramento homeowners, and with summer highs that can top 100 degrees, planning for daylight and glare is part of the design, not an afterthought.
Design Services, In House Designers and Showroom Selections
Our in house designers help you picture your dream kitchen before demolition begins, and you make your selections by hand at our Auburn Boulevard showroom. Creative designers and a real showroom keep the modern designs you saved online grounded in materials you have actually touched. Eco-friendly material options are available on request.

How Your Home Renovation Works, From Initial Consultation to Final Walkthrough
Your kitchen remodel runs in four steps, each with a deliverable you can hold, so you can picture the whole project before you commit to anything.
- 1. Free initial consultation and measurements. We come to your Sacramento home, listen to your vision and your household’s unique needs, take real dimensions, and talk plainly about our availability and how long your remodeling project should take.
- 2. Showroom selections and design. Cabinets, countertops, tile, flooring and hardware are chosen in person and written into the scope, so the finished room matches what you actually picked.
- 3. Written estimate, timeline and permits. You get a detailed written estimate with scope, allowances and exclusions spelled out. We confirm which permits your kitchen remodel needs and who pulls them. Nothing changes without your written approval.
- 4. In-house build and final walkthrough. Our highly skilled craftsmen handle demolition, installation and finishes, with frequent updates and one point of contact, through inspection until the work is completed and you sign off.
Upfront timelines and costs are our policy, not a favor we extend to certain clients.
Competitive Pricing and Customer Satisfaction, Without the Guesswork
We quote competitive pricing against a written scope instead of a vague figure that grows later. Allowances are named, change orders are approved by you in writing before anyone lifts a tool, and your budget stays yours to steer. Customer satisfaction, to us, means the finished space matches the design you chose and the way your family actually lives in it, and that you would hand us the keys again for the next room.
Sacramento Homes, Sacramento Permits: What Makes a Local Remodel Different
There is no single Sacramento kitchen, which is why a catalog layout so often fails here. Based on 2018 ACS data reported by the City, 55% of Sacramento housing units were built before 1980 and 72% before 1990. In East Sacramento, the Fabulous Forties between 38th and 46th streets, J Street and Folsom Boulevard holds period homes whose room proportions deserve respect even as you add modern storage and ventilation. Curtis Park and Land Park, off the Freeport, Broadway and Riverside corridors, mix Craftsman, bungalow, Tudor Revival and California Mission styles and were largely built out by 1957. South Land Park Hills has its 59 Eichlers from 1955 and 1956, where sightlines matter more than square footage. Natomas, grown up since the mid-1990s, is a different job entirely: sound builder-era bones that need personality, storage and better light. If your kitchen sits beneath a second story, we plan framing and plumbing routes before demolition rather than after. Local architecture and Sacramento’s hot, sunny summers should shape your kitchen design.
Permits inside city limits go through the City of Sacramento Community Development Department, Building Division. Sacramento requires permits for remodeling and for electrical, mechanical and plumbing alterations, so moving an outlet or a fixture can trigger one. Nonstructural kitchen and bathroom remodels are submitted by email through the City’s EZ Permit program. Structural work, meaning walls, windows or doors, goes to plan review through the Public Permit Portal and Electronic Plan Check. The City publishes an average total of $365 for a common residential kitchen-remodel minor permit; structural projects are valuation-based instead. Published review targets for residential interior alterations are 12 working days for the first cycle, 8 for the second and 5 for the third. Applications from January 1, 2026 onward must follow the 2025 California Building Standards Codes and applicable City amendments. One more thing worth knowing: a Sacramento mailing address does not settle whether the City or the County has jurisdiction. We check the parcel first.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a realistic budget for a kitchen remodel in Sacramento?
It depends on scope, not square footage alone. Like any home improvement project, minor adjustments cost far less than moving walls, plumbing or electrical, and older Sacramento homes sometimes hide surprises behind the walls, so set aside 10 to 20 percent as contingency. We give you an upfront, project-specific number in writing before work begins.
Is $10,000 enough for a kitchen remodel?
A figure that size generally supports cosmetic updates rather than a full kitchen renovation. It depends entirely on which elements you keep, such as existing cabinet boxes or flooring. We will tell you what your scope realistically supports at the consultation instead of quoting a number we cannot hold.
What is the most expensive part of redoing a kitchen?
Cabinetry is usually the largest single line item, followed by countertops and appliances. Cabinet material and construction drive that number more than anything else, which is why we settle those choices early.
Do I need a permit to replace kitchen cabinets and countertops in Sacramento?
Often yes. Sacramento requires permits for remodeling and for electrical, mechanical and plumbing alterations, so relocating a single outlet or fixture can trigger one. Nonstructural work goes through the City’s EZ Permit email pathway, structural changes require plan review, and we handle the filing either way.
Is my address under the City of Sacramento or Sacramento County?
A Sacramento mailing address does not settle it, because the City and unincorporated Sacramento County are separate permitting jurisdictions. We confirm the parcel’s jurisdiction before we file anything.
Which Sacramento neighborhoods do you serve?
All of Sacramento, including East Sacramento, Land Park, Curtis Park, South Land Park, Oak Park, Midtown, Natomas and the Pocket, plus the surrounding communities listed on our service-area page. If you have been searching for a kitchen remodel near me from any of them, we are the local crew that shows up.
