What a Licensed General Contractor Does

A general contractor is responsible for the whole project: planning the scope, doing or coordinating the work, pulling permits, scheduling inspections and standing behind the result. In California, a project that combines two or more unrelated trades under one contract, like framing, drywall, tile, and plumbing and electrical fixtures, is the kind of job the CSLB's B (General Building) classification is for. A typical bathroom or kitchen remodel fits that description.

DHS holds the B classification, along with the A classification, on License #1065708, carries a contractor's bond, and has pulled permits with both the city and the county. That matters on remodels that turn into structural repairs: a slow leak that rotted the subfloor and joists, or a siding job that uncovers rotted sheathing and framing. One company handles it all.

Signs Your Project Needs a General Contractor, Not a Handyman

The job will cost $1,000 or more in labor and materials, or needs a permit.
It involves more than one trade: tear-out, framing, fixtures, tile, drywall and paint.
It likely needs a building permit, as most remodels and structural repairs do.
There's damage you can't see yet, like a soft floor, a stained ceiling or bubbling siding.
You want one company accountable for the whole result.

What Remodels Uncover in Older Homes

A + BBoth license classifications on CSLB #1065708, so remodels that uncover structural damage stay with one company.

Many homes in Yuba City and Marysville are decades old, and opening up a bathroom or kitchen often reveals problems no one could see: old leaks that rotted the subfloor, failed shower pans, rotted sill plates or framing cut and patched by previous owners. A remodeler without structural experience either stops the job or covers the problem with new finishes, and the problem comes back.

DHS repairs it properly before the new finishes go in, and shows you what we found before going beyond the estimate.

What Affects the Cost of a Remodel

Size of the space and how much is being replaced
Finishes: tile, cabinets, countertops and fixtures range widely
Layout changes: moving walls, plumbing fixtures or lighting costs more than replacing in place
Hidden damage found during tear-out
Permits and inspections required by the city or county

You get a clear, written estimate after we see the space, before any work starts.

Remodeling FAQ

Do I need a licensed general contractor for a remodel in California?

For any job of $1,000 or more, or any job that needs a permit, California requires a CSLB-licensed contractor. Remodels that combine several trades are normally done by a B (General Building) contractor.

Do you pull permits for remodels?

Yes, when the project requires them. DHS has pulled permits with both the city and the county.

How much does a remodel cost in Yuba City?

It depends on size, finishes, layout changes and what's found during tear-out. We give you a written estimate after seeing the space.

What happens if you find damage during tear-out?

We stop, show you what we found, and quote the repair before going beyond the original estimate. Because DHS does structural work, it gets fixed properly instead of covered up.

Can you repair water damage after a leak?

Yes. We repair damaged framing, subfloors and finishes once the source of the leak has been fixed. See Water Damage & Structural Repair.

Can you change the layout of my kitchen or bathroom?

Yes. Layout changes are part of remodeling. We handle the framing and coordinate the fixture relocation as part of the project, with permits where required.

Can you handle the tear-out too?

Yes. Tear-out, debris haul-off and the rebuild are all part of the job, so one company handles the project from start to finish.
