Fast, Reliable Home Remodeling Across Felton
Home remodeling in Felton, CA typically runs $9,000 to $45,000 for kitchens and baths, and $45,000 to $130,000 for additions, depending on what’s hiding behind the walls. Most Felton remodels start as cosmetic jobs but turn structural once redwood-era framing and wood roofs in the damp canopy shade are opened. We’re Milpitas Construction, led by Ken Stafford, and we’ve handled enough San Lorenzo Valley projects to know exactly what that means. Call (877) 752-4194 for a free estimate on your Felton remodel.
Why Milpitas Construction Is Felton’s Preferred Home Remodeling Company
Felton homeowners keep calling us back because we’re one of the few full-scope general contractors with active access to 50+ brand-name product lines across every trade. When you’re remodeling a kitchen off Highway 9 or adding a bathroom to a cabin near Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park, you want one accountable team, not a revolving door of subs. Ken Stafford runs every Felton project with the same approach: open it up, see what’s actually there, price it honestly, and get it done before wet-season mud slows the schedule.
The difference shows in how we quote. We spec materials by name, so you know exactly what’s going into your home. Cambria countertops, KraftMaid cabinets, Kohler fixtures, James Hardie siding. No vague allowances that balloon into change orders once you pick real finishes.
Styles & brands we work with
Home Remodeling Contractor in Felton
A Home Remodeling Contractor in Felton has to handle more than cosmetic finishes. The 95018 housing stock runs from redwood-era cottages to mid-century mountain homes on sloped, tree-heavy lots. A kitchen remodel in Felton typically runs $14,000 to $45,000. A bathroom remodel runs $9,000 to $28,000. Those numbers shift when we find decayed framing, outdated wiring, or fire-resistant assembly requirements triggered by the local building code.
Structural Discovery Before Cosmetic Work
We open the walls during the inspection, not after the contract is signed. That means we document what’s actually behind the drywall before you commit to cabinets and counters. On Felton lots with redwood canopy, we routinely find knob-and-tube wiring, undersized headers, and framing that’s been damp for decades.
Written Allowances, Pre-Approved Change Orders
Every Felton remodel we run includes allowances written into the contract for tile, cabinets, and fixtures. When a surprise shows up behind the wall, we price it as a change order and get your written approval before touching it. No one closes a wall on a surprise they didn’t approve.
Home Remodeling Companies in Felton
Most Home Remodeling Companies serving Felton quote cosmetics and hope the structure holds. We don’t. A full home remodeling project in Felton, including the structural and code work most older homes need, runs $30,000 to $130,000 depending on scope. That includes everything from window replacement at $4,500 to $15,000 to full home additions at $45,000 to $130,000.
Single-Contract Accountability
You get one contract, one point of contact, and one team accountable for every phase. Roofing, windows, doors, siding, fencing, hardscaping, kitchen, bath. From the roofline to the kitchen counter, one contractor, one conversation. That eliminates the coordination gap where Felton projects stall.
Prefab and ADU Construction
Felton’s small lots and slope constraints make prefab ADUs a practical choice. We work with manufacturers like Abodu, Dvele, Mighty Buildings, Boxabl, and Plant Prefab. ADU construction in Felton runs $90,000 to $220,000, and we handle site work, foundations, utilities, and finish as one contract.
Trusted Brands We Service in Felton
Felton homeowners don’t want big-box guesses. They want Cambria countertops that hold up to daily use, Kohler fixtures that don’t corrode in the damp redwood air, and Silestone or Caesarstone surfaces that resist staining and scratching. We stock and source locally for 95018 customers, which means faster turnaround on replacements and warranty work. When a cabinet door or faucet cartridge fails, you’re not waiting on a supply chain. We spec materials by name, explain why one product is better than another, and install them right the first time.

AfterCommon Home Remodeling Problems We See in Felton Homes
- Wood decay in redwood shade: Decks, siding, and framing on tree-heavy Felton lots stay damp through fog and winter rain. We replace rotted members with pressure-treated or naturally resistant materials, then detail the assembly for fire ember exposure under Chapter 7A.
- Knob-and-tube wiring behind walls: Older Felton cottages and cabins still have active knob-and-tube. Opening a wall for cabinets or counters triggers code requirements for replacement and proper grounding.
- Undersized load-bearing headers: Many redwood-era homes were framed before modern span tables. A load-bearing wall with a sagging header is common on sloped lots off Graham Hill Road and throughout 95018.
- Root protection zones constraining additions: Redwood roots extend well beyond the drip line. Felton additions often require root protection, drainage control, and erosion plans before the foundation goes in.

What moves the number on a Felton remodel is what’s inside the walls. Decayed rim joists, knob-and-tube wiring, and undersized headers all add cost once discovered. That’s why we inspect first, write allowances into the contract, and price any discovery as a pre-approved change order. Call (877) 752-4194 to schedule your free estimate. We’ll walk the site with you and give you a written line-item quote.

FAQs About Home Remodeling in Felton
Because most Felton homes are older redwood-era or mid-century structures, and the walls hide real problems: decayed framing, knob-and-tube wiring, undersized headers, and failed waterproofing. A cosmetic quote that doesn’t open walls first can’t see these. We handle it by inspecting before the contract, writing allowances into the contract for known unknowns, and pricing any discovery as a written change order you approve before we touch it. Call (877) 752-4194 to get an inspection-first quote on your Felton remodel.
Yes. Opening walls for a kitchen or bath remodel in Felton triggers electrical, framing, and fire-resistance code requirements, including Chapter 7A compliance for exterior assemblies in the wildfire zone. Skipping the permit means re-opening walls after rough-in, which blows your schedule into wet-season mud. We pull permits, schedule inspections, and get sign-off before drywall goes up. Call (877) 752-4194 for an exact quote, free estimates included.
We map the root protection zone before we stake the foundation, design drainage and erosion control for the slope, and detail the foundation for wet redwood soil. Felton’s buildable envelopes are often constrained by canopy and grade, so we work with a local arborist when roots are in play. Call (877) 752-4194 to discuss your lot and get a free estimate.
We install cabinet lines from KraftMaid and Wellborn, countertops from Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone, and fixtures from Kohler and Grohe. These are contractor-grade brands that hold up to Felton’s damp air and daily use. You choose from proven tiers, not big-box guesswork. Call (877) 752-4194 to review finish options and get a written line-item quote.
Yes, if it’s not detailed for constant moisture and fire ember exposure. Redwood shade holds water on wood surfaces, and wet wood fails early. We replace decks and siding with systems detailed for the San Lorenzo Valley climate, including proper flashing, drainage, and 7A-compliant assemblies. Call (877) 752-4194 for a free estimate on your Felton exterior work.
