AfterConstruction in Foothill Farms, CA
Kitchen remodeling in Foothill Farms typically runs $14,000-$45,000 for a full project, and the homes here make that number move more than people expect. The community’s housing stock was built fast in the 1950s-1970s for McClellan AFB workers, which means original slab-on-grade foundations, first-generation electrical panels, and 60-to-70-year-old plumbing are all in play at once. If you’re planning any construction work here, call (470) 298-9650 and we’ll put a written price in your hands before anyone picks up a tool.
Why Foothill Farms Homes Are Different
Foothill Farms is unincorporated Sacramento County, not an incorporated city. Every permit, every inspection, every code question runs through Sacramento County’s Department of Community Development. That’s not a footnote; it changes timelines and fee structures compared to what crews experience a few blocks away in Citrus Heights or Rancho Cordova. The permit counter is the county’s, inspectors cover unincorporated pockets with their own quirks, and a contractor who assumes municipal rules will lose days.
Underneath the homes, Sacramento Valley adobe clay expands and contracts through wet winters and 105°F summers. That soil movement cracks and shifts the slab foundations that nearly every Foothill Farms house sits on. It means drainage, foundation assessment, and moisture management are not optional steps on a major remodel here; they are the first steps. Add room additions and unpermitted conversions from the 1970s-1990s, and crews routinely find structural surprises behind drywall.
Our Main Foothill Farms Services
Fence installation and driveway work are the two calls Foothill Farms homeowners make most often, because both sit directly on that moving adobe soil.
Fence Installation in Foothill Farms
Fences in Foothill Farms get hit twice: the clay soil heaves posts in winter, and the summer sun bakes them dry. A fence installed without accounting for post depth and drainage will lean within a few seasons. We set posts below the movement zone and use materials rated for the Sacramento Valley’s wet-dry cycle. Pricing, permit notes, and the full scope are on the Fence Installation in Foothill Farms page.
Driveway & Pavers in Foothill Farms
Original driveways in Foothill Farms are mostly poured concrete from the tract-home era, and most are cracked past repair from decades of soil movement. A paver driveway tolerates that movement better than a rigid slab, which is why half the driveways we replace go to pavers. Costs, paver-versus-concrete tradeoffs, and local preparation steps are laid out on the Driveway & Pavers in Foothill Farms page.

BeforeAfterKitchen Remodeling in Foothill Farms
A full kitchen remodel in Foothill Farms runs $14,000-$45,000, and the condition of the original tract-home bones drives where you land in that range. Homes built for the McClellan AFB workforce are now at the point where the electrical panel, the plumbing rough-in, and the slab floor all need attention at the same time. That’s what makes a Foothill Farms kitchen different from a newer suburban one. We quote every job as a flat written price with a written scope before work starts, including the cabinets, counters, and layout work covered on our Kitchen Remodeling hub.
Full Kitchen Remodeling
Signs you need it
The original 1950s-1970s layout fights how you cook, and the electrical panel can’t support a modern range plus a dishwasher at the same time.
What it costs in Foothill Farms
A full kitchen remodel in Foothill Farms typically runs $14,000-$45,000 depending on cabinet grade, countertop material, and whether we’re moving plumbing or walls.
How we do it
We assess the slab and panel first, then demo to the studs, upgrade the electrical and plumbing rough-in, and rebuild with a written scope and signed change orders only.
Cabinets & Countertops
Signs you need it
The cabinet boxes are particleboard from the original build, swollen at the sink base, and the countertop has seams that catch food.
What it costs in Foothill Farms
Cabinet installation runs $4,000-$13,000 and countertop installation runs $2,000-$6,500 in Foothill Farms, with KraftMaid, Wellborn, Cambria, and Caesarstone among the brands we quote at honest numbers.
How we do it
We measure to the sixteenth of an inch, order from brands we can source directly, and install with a photo record of what was found and what was done.

Bathroom Remodeling in Foothill Farms
A bathroom remodel in Foothill Farms runs $9,000-$28,000, and the old cast-iron and galvanized pipes in these tract homes are usually the first thing we address. The original bathrooms were economical builds for base housing, with minimal waterproofing and fixtures now well past typical service life. That’s the condition we plan around on every Foothill Farms bathroom job. Our Bathroom Remodeling hub covers the full scope, but the local specifics below are what matter here.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Signs you need it
The shower pan leaks into the slab, the tile grout is failing, or the original fiberglass surround has cracked at the seams.
What it costs in Foothill Farms
A walk-in shower installation in Foothill Farms runs $4,500-$12,000; a shower replacement runs $3,000-$8,500 depending on the waterproofing method and tile selection.
How we do it
We demo to the studs and subfloor, install a proper tile membrane or prefab pan, and flood-test before tile goes up, with a photo record of every step.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Signs you need it
The original cast-iron tub is rusted, the surrounding tile has failed, and the bathroom floor shows water damage at the tub apron.
What it costs in Foothill Farms
A tub-to-shower conversion in Foothill Farms typically runs $3,500-$10,000 including the drain relocation and a new waterproof membrane.
How we do it
We remove the tub, move the drain to center the new shower, install a bonded waterproof membrane, and set the new pan and tile with written scope discipline.
What Bathroom Remodeling Costs in Foothill Farms
| Item | Typical range in Foothill Farms |
|---|---|
| Full Bathroom Remodel | $9,000-$28,000 |
| Walk-In Shower Installation | $4,500-$12,000 |
| Tub-to-Shower Conversion | $3,500-$10,000 |

Yes. Unpermitted conversions from the 1970s-1990s are common in Foothill Farms, and we bring them into compliance with Sacramento County code before proceeding. Call (470) 298-9650 for an exact quote.
Roofing in Foothill Farms
Roof replacement in Foothill Farms runs $8,000-$20,000, and the summer heat plus winter rain cycle here kills roofs faster than the age of the shingles would suggest. Most original tract homes now have two or three layers of old composition shingle, and the Sacramento Valley’s UV exposure breaks down the asphalt binders years before the warranty date. That’s the local roof reality. Our Roofing hub covers full-service scope, but Foothill Farms conditions come first.
Roof Replacement & Installation
Signs you need it
The roof has two or more shingle layers, granule loss is visible in the gutters, and the decking shows water staining from winter storms.
What it costs in Foothill Farms
A full roof replacement in Foothill Farms typically runs $8,000-$20,000 depending on square footage, decking condition, and whether we remove existing layers.
How we do it
We tear down to the decking, document the deck condition with photos, replace damaged sheathing, and install new underlayment and shingles to manufacturer spec.
Roof Repair
Signs you need it
You’re seeing water stains on the ceiling after winter rains, or the last windstorm left shingles in the yard.
What it costs in Foothill Farms
Roof repair in Foothill Farms runs $400-$1,800; tile roof repair runs $600-$2,500 if the original clay tile is cracked or displaced.
How we do it
We locate the leak source, document the damaged area with photos, and repair the underlayment, flashing, or shingles with materials matched to the existing roof.
What Roofing Costs in Foothill Farms
| Item | Typical range in Foothill Farms |
|---|---|
| Roof Replacement | $8,000-$20,000 |
| Roof Repair | $400-$1,800 |
| Tile Roof Repair | $600-$2,500 |
How long does a roof replacement take in Foothill Farms?
Most Foothill Farms roof replacements take two to four days once permits clear Sacramento County. Weather windows in winter can extend scheduling. Call (470) 298-9650 for a written estimate.
Will my roof replacement price change after tear-off in Foothill Farms?
Only if we find decking damage not visible before tear-off, and only after you sign a change order approving that specific scope. No surprise line items.
Windows & Doors in Foothill Farms
Window replacement in Foothill Farms runs $4,500-$15,000, and the original single-pane aluminum frames from the tract era are the single biggest energy leak in these homes. Summers over 105°F push those frames and seals hard every year for six decades, and most have failed. That’s what Foothill Farms window jobs are about: replacing failed original units, not upgrading for looks alone. Our Windows & Doors hub covers the full catalog, but the local conditions below set the baseline.
Window Replacement
Signs you need it
The original aluminum frames are fogged, the sashes stick or won’t lock, and rooms on the west side heat up by mid-afternoon in summer.
What it costs in Foothill Farms
Window replacement in Foothill Farms typically runs $4,500-$15,000 depending on unit count, frame material, and whether we’re replacing just the glass or the full frame.
How we do it
We measure every opening, order units matched to the existing rough openings, and install with new flashing and insulation at the perimeter, documented with photos.
Door Installation
Signs you need it
The original hollow-core doors have warped from the valley’s dry heat, or the exterior door frames have pulled away from the stucco.
What it costs in Foothill Farms
Door installation projects in Foothill Farms run on the home’s existing condition, with window replacement ranges of $4,500-$15,000 serving as a benchmark for comparable multi-opening work.
How we do it
We square the rough opening, set the new pre-hung door, shim and level it, and seal the exterior with the correct flashing for the stucco cladding common here.
What Windows & Doors Costs in Foothill Farms
| Item | Typical range in Foothill Farms |
|---|---|
| Window Replacement | $4,500-$15,000 |
| Impact Window Installation | $8,000-$25,000 |
| Door Installation | Quoted per opening after measurement |
How much do energy-efficient windows cost in Foothill Farms?
Energy-efficient window replacement in Foothill Farms typically falls within the $4,500-$15,000 range for a full home, depending on unit count and glass package. The savings show up fastest on west-facing rooms.
Do I need Sacramento County approval for window replacement in Foothill Farms?
Window replacement in Foothill Farms is reviewed by Sacramento County, and we handle the permit application as part of the written scope. Call (470) 298-9650 for specifics on your home.
Home Additions & ADU in Foothill Farms
A home addition in Foothill Farms runs $45,000-$130,000, and an ADU runs $90,000-$220,000, with the slab foundation and Sacramento County permitting setting the pace. The original tract lots are generous by modern standards, which makes detached ADUs and garage conversions practical here in a way they aren’t on smaller infill lots. What catches people is the soil: any new foundation has to be engineered for the adobe clay movement. Our Home Additions & ADU hub covers the full project path, from design to closeout.
ADU Design & Permitting
Signs you need it
You want the ADU permitted and built as a legal unit, not the unpermitted conversions that are common in this housing stock.
What it costs in Foothill Farms
ADU construction in Foothill Farms runs $90,000-$220,000 including design, Sacramento County permits, and full build-out.
How we do it
We start with a site assessment for soil and setback rules, then design to Sacramento County standards, submit plans, and build with signed change orders only.
Garage Conversion ADU
Signs you need it
The garage is underused, the original slab may be cracked or uninsulated, and the electrical service can’t support a second living unit.
What it costs in Foothill Farms
A garage conversion ADU in Foothill Farms runs $30,000-$80,000 depending on whether the slab needs structural repair and how much of the original framing is reusable.
How we do it
We assess the slab and framing first, then upgrade the panel, insulate and drywall the shell, and build out the living space with a written scope.
What Home Additions & ADU Costs in Foothill Farms
| Item | Typical range in Foothill Farms |
|---|---|
| Home Addition | $45,000-$130,000 |
| ADU Construction | $90,000-$220,000 |
| Garage Conversion | $30,000-$80,000 |
How much does a detached ADU cost in Foothill Farms?
A new detached ADU in Foothill Farms runs $90,000-$220,000 depending on size, foundation engineering for the adobe soil, and finish level. Prefab options from builders like Abodu or Mighty Buildings can shift the range.
Do you handle the Sacramento County permitting for ADUs in Foothill Farms?
Yes. Every ADU we build in Foothill Farms goes through Sacramento County’s Department of Community Development with permits pulled and inspections passed. Call (470) 298-9650 for a written quote.
