Sutter started as South Butte, a farming settlement whose post office sat at the Butte House, a stagecoach stop, hotel and bar on the old Marysville–Colusa road. People started calling that road "Butte House," which is how Butte House Road, where our shop is, got its name. In 1888, a San Francisco land company mapped a 175-acre townsite called Sutter City. The boom went bust, and the name was shortened to Sutter in 1895. Buildings like the 1890 Felts Building on California Street still stand from those years.
Today Sutter has about 3,000 residents, and nearly three-quarters of its homes are owner-occupied. The work we see most is on older wood-framed homes and outbuildings that take full sun all summer and winter storms: rotted trim and fascia, weathered siding, soft decks, and bathrooms and floors ready for an update.
