Building Homes. Building Trust.
About Goddard Building & Remodeling
We are a custom home builder, residential remodeler and commercial contractor based in Orangevale. Our work rests on a simple idea. Build well, communicate clearly and earn trust one project at a time.
Building homes, building trust
That phrase is more than a tagline. It is the way we think about construction. A building is a physical thing, made of lumber, concrete, tile and glass, but the experience of getting it built is deeply personal. People are trusting a contractor with their home, their savings or their business. They are letting a crew into the place where their family eats dinner or where their employees earn a living. That is a lot of trust, and it is not something we take for granted.
We try to earn it in ordinary ways. We answer the phone. We explain what we plan to do and why. We put scopes and schedules in writing. We tell you when something is going to cost more or take longer, and we tell you before it happens, not afterward. When something goes wrong, which it sometimes does in construction, we own it and we fix it.
None of this is revolutionary. But anyone who has hired a contractor knows how easily the basics can slip. Making them reliable is the whole point of how we work.
What we do
We work across three areas, and each draws on the same skills and habits.
- Residential remodeling. Kitchens, bathrooms, closets, additions, upgrades and whole-home renovations. See our residential services.
- New construction. Custom homes built from the lot review through final inspection. See our new construction overview.
- Commercial construction. Remodeling for offices, shops and professional spaces, and tenant improvements for leased space. See our commercial services.
Working across residential and commercial projects keeps our skills broad. Techniques that make a medical suite run smoothly inform how we plan a home kitchen, and the attention to detail that a custom home demands shows up in every office we build out.
How we think about the work
Plan before we build
Most construction problems start as planning problems. We spend time up front on scope, sequence and selections so the build can go smoothly.
Say what we mean
Plain language, written scopes and honest conversations about cost and timing. If we are unsure, we say so.
Respect the space
Your home or business is not a job site first. We protect what is not being worked on, manage dust and keep the work area as orderly as the job allows.
Finish the details
A project is not done when the big work is done. Punch lists, final adjustments and a careful walkthrough matter.
Rooted in Orangevale
Orangevale is our home base, and the neighborhoods around it are the ones we know best. We work in Fair Oaks, Citrus Heights, Folsom, Carmichael, Roseville, Granite Bay, Sacramento and Rancho Cordova as well. Being part of the community means our work is visible to the people we live near, and that is a good kind of accountability.
Local knowledge also helps in practical ways. We understand how the county and the cities handle permits, what the lots and soils tend to be like and which projects fit the housing around here. You can see how this plays out on our service areas pages.
What you can expect when you hire us
Expectations shape the experience, so we like to be specific about ours. You can expect a conversation before a quote, and a written quote before work begins. You can expect us to explain the plan in plain language and to answer questions without making you feel rushed. You can expect honest advice about where to spend money and where not to.
During construction, you can expect updates, not silence. If a delivery is late or an inspection is rescheduled, you will hear it from us first. At the end, you can expect a walkthrough, a punch list and follow-through on the items on it.
We cannot promise a project without a single surprise, because no honest builder can. What we can promise is how we will respond when one appears.
What working with us looks like
Every project follows the same four steps. We consult with you, plan the work in detail, build to the plan and finish with a walkthrough. You can read the full outline on our process page, and you can see examples of finished spaces in our gallery.
If you are thinking about a project, the best next step is simple. Call us or send a note. We will talk through what you have in mind and set up a time to see the space.
