Trusted General Contractor for Fresno Homeowners
A general contractor in Fresno typically charges $14,000 to $45,000 for a kitchen remodel, $9,000 to $28,000 for a bathroom remodel, and $45,000 to $130,000 for a home addition, with smaller projects like backsplash installation starting around $800. Bradford Remodeling Co Fresno puts every one of those numbers in writing before the first tool comes out. That is the whole point of The Garrison Standard: a written price, a written scope, and a written guarantee signed by Curtis Lane before any work begins. If you have been burned by a contractor who no-showed on a Tower District job or re-priced halfway through a Woodward Park remodel, call (559) 785-2712 and talk to a real person who will give you a straight answer.
Construction Company
A Construction Company is the entity that carries the license, the insurance, and the daily responsibility for getting your project from permit to final inspection. You need one when the job involves structural changes, multiple trades, or anything that requires a building permit from the City of Fresno. Bradford Remodeling Co Fresno operates as a full-service construction company under The Garrison Standard, meaning every subcontractor on your site answers to one written scope of work, and every price is fixed before demolition starts. Kitchen remodels in Fresno run $14,000 to $45,000, and a home addition runs $45,000 to $130,000 depending on square footage, foundation work, and finish level.
Permit Coordination
The City of Fresno requires permits for structural work, electrical, plumbing, and most remodels beyond cosmetic updates. Bradford handles the paperwork, the plan review, the inspections, and the sign-offs. You get a documented scope and a final inspection record, not a handshake and a hope.
Trade Management
A construction company lives or dies by how trades are scheduled and held accountable. Bradford runs background-checked, uniformed technicians on every job, and each trade’s work is checked against the written scope before the next one starts. That sequence discipline is why a rough-in gets inspected before drywall goes up, not after.
Styles & brands we work with
Remodeling Contractor
A Remodeling Contractor specializes in changing what already exists: kitchens, bathrooms, additions, and whole-home reconfigurations in Fresno. You hire one when the home’s bones are fine but the layout, finishes, or function no longer work for how you live. Bradford Remodeling Co Fresno performs kitchen remodels from $14,000 to $45,000, bathroom remodels from $9,000 to $28,000, and smaller upgrades like backsplash installation from $800 to $2,500. Every number is a fixed written price before work starts.
Kitchen and Bath Scope
A kitchen remodel in Fresno commonly includes cabinet installation ($4,000 to $13,000), countertop installation ($2,000 to $6,500), and backsplash installation ($800 to $2,500). A bathroom remodel typically covers vanity installation ($800 to $3,000), tub-to-shower conversion ($3,500 to $10,000), or a full walk-in shower installation ($4,500 to $12,000). Curtis Lane’s crews write the scope down to the substrate level so you know exactly what you are paying for.
Whole-Home Reconfiguration
Some Fresno homes built in the 1950s and 1960s have closed-off kitchens and narrow baths that no longer fit a modern household. A whole-home remodel often means moving walls, reworking plumbing, and resurfacing floors throughout. Bradford documents every change order before it happens, which means the price on your written estimate is the price you pay.
Licensed General Contractor
A Licensed General Contractor in California holds a state contractor’s license issued by the Contractors State License Board, which requires passing trade and law exams and carrying bond and workers’ compensation coverage. You need one in Fresno for any job over $500 in combined labor and materials that involves more than one trade. Bradford Remodeling Co Fresno operates as a licensed general contractor and holds every project to The Garrison Standard, with written pricing on jobs ranging from an $800 backsplash installation to a $220,000 ADU construction.
State Compliance
California contractor law requires a written contract for any home improvement job, and the CSLB has specific formatting and disclosure rules. Bradford provides a written scope of work, a fixed price, and a payment schedule that tracks to completed milestones. That is not a courtesy. It is the law, and it happens to protect you.
Bond and Insurance
A licensed contractor carries a license bond and workers’ compensation insurance, which protects the homeowner if a worker is injured on your property. Bradford carries both. Ask any contractor you are considering for their CSLB number and verify it online before you sign anything.
Residential General Contractor
A Residential General Contractor focuses on homes rather than commercial or industrial buildings, which means knowledge of residential codes, homeowner expectations, and the neighborhoods of Fresno. You hire one when the project is at your own house and you want a single point of accountability. Bradford Remodeling Co Fresno is a residential general contractor serving Fresno, Clovis, Sanger, and the surrounding towns, with typical project costs ranging from a $3,500 tub-to-shower conversion to a $130,000 home addition.
Neighborhood Knowledge
Fresno houses differ by era: pre-war bungalows in the Tower District, 1970s ranch styles in Fig Garden, and newer production builds north of Herndon. Each has different framing practices, floor systems, and code issues. Bradford’s crews know what they are going to find when they open a wall in each era of Fresno construction.
Homeowner Communication
A residential contractor works around your family’s daily life, not the other way around. Bradford schedules work in phases so you still have a functioning kitchen or bathroom whenever possible. A live person answers the phone 24/7, which means when you call with a question at 7 p.m., you get Curtis Lane’s team, not a voicemail.
Hire a General Contractor
To Hire a General Contractor in Fresno, you should verify their CSLB license, ask for a written fixed-price estimate, check that they carry workers’ compensation insurance, and get the warranty terms in writing before any deposit changes hands. You do this when the job involves multiple trades, structural work, or a permit. Bradford Remodeling Co Fresno makes this straightforward: a written price before work starts, a documented scope, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise that puts the guarantee in your hand at project close. Projects we price daily include kitchen remodels from $14,000 to $45,000 and paver patios from $3,500 to $11,000.
Written Price, Not a Ballpark
A ballpark estimate is a sales tool. A written fixed price is a contract. Bradford’s process ends with a line-item document you can hold, with materials, labor, and any allowances broken out. If the price changes, it changes in writing before work changes, never after.
Deposit and Schedule
A legitimate contractor asks for a deposit to hold your project slot and order materials, not to fund other jobs. Bradford’s payment schedule is tied to completed milestones so your money is always ahead of work done, not behind it. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is signed at close, alongside a clean site and a documented scope.
General Contractor Services
General Contractor Services cover the planning, permitting, trade coordination, and daily management of a construction or remodeling project from start to final inspection. In Fresno, that includes kitchen remodeling, bathroom remodeling, whole-home remodeling, home additions, ADU construction, garage conversions, and exterior work like driveway replacement and paver patio installation. Bradford Remodeling Co Fresno provides general contractor services with fixed written pricing on every scope, from a $250 driveway sealing job to a $90,000 to $220,000 ADU construction.
Additions and ADUs
Fresno homeowners add square footage for growing families, aging parents, or rental income. A home addition runs $45,000 to $130,000 and a garage conversion runs $30,000 to $80,000. ADU construction in Fresno runs $90,000 to $220,000 depending on size, utilities, and site work. Bradford handles the plans, the permits, and the inspections.
Exterior and Site Work
Driveways, patios, fences, and roofs all fall under general contractor scope. In Fresno, a paver driveway runs $7,000 to $18,000, a concrete driveway runs $4,500 to $12,000, and a roof replacement runs $8,000 to $20,000. Bradford uses documented name-brand materials like GAF and James Hardie so the specifications are traceable and the manufacturer warranties are real.

Brands We Service
Bradford Remodeling Co Fresno works with a documented roster of premium brands because specifications should be traceable and quality should not be left to guesswork. When we install a Quikrete product on a Fresno patio or walkway, the mix spec, cure time, and compression rating are all printed on the bag. That means the concrete under your pavers meets the manufacturer’s intended use, not whatever was cheapest at the supply yard that morning.
We also work extensively with Oldcastle products for paver and retaining wall projects across Fresno, Clovis, and Sanger. Their paving stones carry documented dimensions and load ratings, which matters when you are putting a paver driveway over Fresno’s expansive clay soils. Whether your project calls for Quikrete, Oldcastle, Sakrete, or any other documented brand, the material spec goes in your written scope, and the work is covered by the 365-Day Done Right Promise.

AfterSigns You Need a Pro Right Now
- Multiple trades are involved. When a kitchen remodel means electrical, plumbing, and drywall, you are no longer managing a handyman job. Without a general contractor, you become the scheduler, the inspector, and the one who owns the mistake when a trade misses a rough-in. A licensed general contractor owns the sequence and the outcome.
- You have a written estimate that keeps moving. A contractor who re-prices at the door or after demolition has started is not someone to invite deeper into your home. A written fixed price before work starts is the only version of pricing that holds. Bradford Remodeling Co Fresno writes the price down before the first tool comes out.
- The work requires a city permit. Structural changes, electrical upgrades, and most remodels in the City of Fresno require permits, and unpermitted work can surface years later when you try to sell. A contractor who tells you to skip the permit is asking you to absorb the liability. Bradford pulls permits and passes inspections as a matter of course.
- Water is involved. Bathrooms, kitchens, and any exterior envelope work involve moisture, and moisture mistakes are expensive. A shower pan that leaks or a flashing that fails will rot the substrate before you ever see a stain. Bradford’s crews install to manufacturer specifications so water stays where it belongs.
- Your last contractor disappeared. More than a few Fresno homeowners have had a contractor vanish mid-project, leaving a tarp over an open wall and a phone that rings through to nothing. If that has happened to you, the next hire should come with a written guarantee in your hand at project close, not a verbal promise. The 365-Day Done Right Promise puts the guarantee in writing.
Our Process, Step by Step
- 1
Initial call and scope review. You call (559) 785-2712 and talk to a live person, not a voicemail queue. We ask what the project is, where the house is, and what is driving the decision now. We talk through the real trade terms: substrate, rough-in, soffit, load path, and we explain each one in plain language so you know what you are hearing.
- 2
Written estimate with fixed pricing. We produce a written line-item price for the entire scope. Materials, labor, finishes, and allowances are broken out so you can see exactly where every dollar goes. The price does not move at the door. This is The Garrison Standard, and it applies to every project we take in Fresno.
- 3
Permit and plan coordination. If the job requires City of Fresno permits, Bradford prepares the plans, files the application, and manages the plan review and inspection schedule. You are never asked to pull your own permit or chase down an inspector.
- 4
Managed construction with checked crews. Background-checked, uniformed technicians arrive on your job. Each trade’s work is inspected against the written scope before the next trade starts, so a rough-in is verified before drywall closes it up. You always know who is walking through your door.
- 5
Close-out with the written guarantee. At project close, the site is clean, the punch list is signed off, and you hold a written 365-Day Done Right Promise signed by Curtis Lane. If the work fails inside that year, Bradford returns and corrects it at no charge. That is what squared away looks like.
