Remodeling, additions & ADUs in Davis, CA
Davis is a university town with a housing stock all its own — early-1900s bungalows in the Old East and Old North conservation districts, waves of mid-century ranch homes, and the compact infill neighborhoods the city is known for. With UC Davis anchoring constant demand for housing, much of the work here is making established homes live larger and smarter.
Building in Davis
The classic Davis project is getting more out of a lot that isn't getting any bigger: opening up a compartmentalized ranch floor plan, remodeling a kitchen that hasn't changed since the house was built, or adding an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) for rental income or family in a market where campus-driven demand keeps every square foot valuable. In the older core neighborhoods, that work has to respect the conservation-district character — original siding profiles, porch details, and trim that stock materials don't match.
Davis has also been serious about energy performance longer than almost any city in California — it helped pioneer residential energy standards back in the 1970s — and today's projects are expected to meet high bars for insulation, glazing, and efficiency. Combined with the valley's triple-digit summers and expansive clay soils, that shapes everything from foundation planning to window and material selection.
What Davis Projects Take Into Account
Local knowledge from ~52 ft elevation to the permit counter.
Projects inside the city go through the City of Davis Building Division; surrounding rural properties are permitted by Yolo County. We manage plans, submittals, and inspections for both, including the added review in conservation districts.
Strong rental demand near UC Davis makes ADUs one of the most requested projects in town. We design and build them around each lot's setbacks, alley access, and the city's ADU standards.
Davis expects high energy performance from remodels and additions. We build to current Title 24 requirements with insulation, glazing, and shading choices suited to hot valley summers.
Bungalows and mid-century ranches in the core neighborhoods call for period-matched trim, siding, and porch detailing — the kind of millwork our finish-carpentry background is built for.
