Remodeling your Kitchen in Sacramento



Tired of looking at the same kitchen over and over again?


Kitchen too small?


Need new appliances?




Let the Superior Builders DesignTeam Design a Custom Kitchen just for you!



Why Remodel Your Kitchen or Bath?

  • Remodeling your Kitchen or Bathroom is a great way to help transform your house into your dream home. The Superior Builders Design Team will design a custom Kitchen & Bath just for you & your lifestyle! Kitchens often reflect who we are and serve as a retreat from the hectic lifestyles we live. People want a kitchen that is functional, but they also want a place to relax or to entertain. But most of all, because "You deserve it".

  • Remodeling will update a tired & old kitchen/Bath with a new layout, Appliances, Fixtures, Countertops, Cabinets, Flooring, Paint and more.
  • Remodeling will make your new Kitchen into a more efficient, enjoyable place for you, family & friends to spend time.
  • Remodeling with the Superior Builders Team will give you a fresh new look that fits in with your style and budget.

  • JUST BECAUSE YOU DESERVE IT!



Getting Started
Determine what you really want in advance. What are your basic priorities and the goals of what you want your remodel to achieve? Then write down what your ultimate wishes are. Remember, this is your home, be creative, think outside of the box!
Go to your local Bookstore & look through some of the wonderful books now available. Purchase some magazines & cut some pictures and articles out that best reflect the look and feel that you are wanting to achieve. Make notes and write down questions you have about the various products and designs that you may be potentially interested in.

Determine Your Budget
This is A must! This step is too often overlooked. This will really decide what you can do and how you will go about doing it. How much can you afford to spend? Are you familiar with current remodeling costs and the value of home improvements? Were you aware that Kitchen Remodeling is one of the best investments you can make in your home? It is very possible to get a 100 % return on your kitchen remodeling investment.
Consider how will you finance the project and if necessary, make inquiries into financing with your mortgage broker, mortgage lender or credit union. Determine if you will pay for the improvements by cash, home improvement loan, home equity line of credit, re-finance, or taking out a second mortgage?

Now its time to contact Superior Builders- (916) 638-7300

MEET THE DESIGN TEAM- CLICK HERE


The initial consultation is FREE. Generally, the first appointment will last between 1 - 1 1/2 hours. This meeting would take place at your home. While meeting at your home, we will take rough measurements and we'll discuss your project to determine what your needs are and get a good general overview of your wish list.
Working With The Superior Builders Design Team
Most companies in the kitchen and bath industry will either design your project or build it - one or the other. When you work with a company that only does one or the other, you run the risk of ending up with plans that you can't afford to build or having a poorly planned project that will cost you more than you expected. Because Superior Builders works directly with the Designer/Cabinet maker we provide our own design services and fabricate everything in-house, we can help you set a budget for your project and guarantee a realistic price quote, all with the confidence of knowing that everything will fit together as planned. This is very important & also assures that you get a quality project - completed on time, with the least amount of mistakes.
Working with a designer can pull all the pieces of your project puzzle together. Our designer will keep you from getting bogged down in details that can throw your planning off track. You'll be free to dream, while our designer thinks through all the measurements, material coordination, and construction logistics.
You might want a recycle center, for example, but you can't quite figure out where it would fit so you decide to go without it. If you were working with a designer, she might know exactly how to make the recycle center work based on her experience with similar kitchens and her specialized training. Or you may have always wanted a dramatic beamed ceiling but assumed that your house couldn’t support it. A designer could tell you that decorative beams often can be installed below the ceiling line without requiring any structural changes.
In other words, a good designer will help you do it right the first time, see possibilities where you could not, and make the entire experience go smoothly. Call now for a FREE consultation @ (916) 638-7300 or visit us online @ http://www.superiorbuildersinc.com/

Garage Construction & Conversions in the Sacramento area



Sacramento & Davis area Custom Garages & Garage Conversions

Convert your existing Garage to a livable space, add a 2nd story to your Gargage, add a two story Apartment over your garage. Superior Builders located in Sacramento will help you!
Whether you use this to shelter your car, for storage space, or want to finish it to make it livable space—or all three—a garage addition is great way to add square footage to your home.Even if you already have a garage, adding a second story can be the perfect answer to carving out additional living space. Superior Builders can design you that perfect garage that has all the amenities you desire. Whether it be a simple single story 1 car garage or a 4 car 2 story with an apartment on top, Superior Builders does it all!

Many people find that a garage offers the perfect environment to house their home office, studio space, or workshop. Most garages can be easily fitted with the same comforts as a home: heating and cooling, phone wiring, even plumbing. From Design through construction, we do it all! If you are fortunate enough to have the space, you may be in the company of many homeowners who are thinking about building a garage addition. A well-designed garage addition doesn't have to be just a parking box unattractively attached to the front of your house.
Looking to convert your Garage to a livable area? We do that!
Would you like a two story garage with a lott ? What about an apartment on the 2nd floor ? Office or Bathroom on the 1st floor ?
Garage additions are an effective means to use your property to its best advantage. A garage addition allows you to house not only cars, but boats, hobbies, or your mother-in-law. They may be built separately with high bays for mechanic's lifts or with space for a fully functional greenhouse, workshop, or artist's studio. It can be detached as a completely separate building or attached for easy access to the main house. A second story might easily serve as a large playroom for the kids or an elegant master suite. Depending on the style of your home, you can add a carriage house with an apartment upstairs or a small guest house with a single bay for a car.

Would you like a new garage attached to your home or Casita with a covered roof overhang ?
A garage addition or remodel allows you to gain extra space, develop a rental unit that you can easily supervise and maintain, or establish a home office out of the house. By the optimizing its location, you can diminish the importance of your garage so your house becomes the focal point of your property. And a garage addition can also enhance property value.

Planning your garage addition
The following tips may help you decide how to incorporate a garage addition:
Most communities now are governed by a Home Owners Association or CC & R's. Consider checking to see which applies & contact someone to see if what you want to do can be done.
Make a laundry list of what you want the new addition to house. If you want a workshop or a studio your requirements will be different than someone who needs to create a fully functional apartment or in laws quarters
Find out what the local building restrictions are by calling your city or county zoning office. They can tell you what you can and can't put up.
Match the details of the existing home. Match siding, roof pitch, trim and gable style.
Location matters. If you want the garage visible from the street, do you want it to look like a garage? Can you move the garage elsewhere to better effect?
Keep the proportions and scale of the new garage from overwhelming the house. If your house is small and cottagy, consider building a garage far enough from the house that it looks more like a barn than a garage. Otherwise, it will look funny.
Plan for good access to the house. A breezeway or mud room can provide great access and a place to store wet jackets, backpacks, and boots.
How many vehicles and what type do you want to house? Two cars and a boat? Plan for adequate room to get in and out of vehicles and to get them in and out of the garage easily.
Consider adding pull-down stairs for additional storage. It's a good place to store anything that doesn't require air conditioning or heating.
And on the subject of storage: add a workbench and heavy duty shelving and storage for yard tools, bicycles, or other bulky hard to store items.

Standard & Custom garages, we do it all!

Don't move. Convert your garage. We can help you turn your garage into any of the following
  • Extra Bedroom

  • Dining Room

  • Study / Office

  • Gym

  • Play Room
  • Granny Suite

  • Convert your Garage into Living Space


If you need more space for a home office, family room, extra bedroom or dedicated hobby room, converting a garage into living space can be an excellent alternative to adding onto your home or moving to a bigger home. Keep these points in mind as you decide if a garage conversion is right for you:
Attached or Detached?
Whether your garage is attached or detached to your home, this will influence your design plans. Both styles have advantages and disadvantages. With an attached garage, you can open a direct passage from your home to the new space, eliminating the need for exiting one structure to get to another.
An attached garage also increases the possible uses of the space; for instance, a detached garage wouldn't be suitable as a playroom, family room or master bedroom.
Alternately, a detached garage is ideal when greater separation is desired, as it might be for a home office, recording studio, guest suite or living quarters for college-age children.
