About Remarkable Home Remodeling

We’re a Sacramento Valley contractor built on honesty, craftsmanship, and a genuine love for making homeowners happy.

Who We Are

Remarkable Home Remodeling was founded on a simple belief: the construction industry needs more people who truly care. We're not just another general contractor — we're a team of skilled, passionate craftsmen who take pride in every project we touch and treat every client like family.

Founded by Virgil McKenzie, Remarkable Home Remodeling has spent over 31 years serving homeowners across Folsom, Orangevale, Granite Bay, Citrus Heights, El Dorado Hills, Fair Oaks, and the greater Sacramento Valley. Virgil started building fences in high school and never lost the satisfaction of stepping back at the end of a project and knowing the work was done right. That same spirit drives everything we do today.
We believe your home is your most important investment — and we treat it that way.

Our Mission

Our mission is to protect, beautify, and improve your home while making the entire experience enjoyable from start to finish. We underpromise and overdeliver — every single time.

Beyond craftsmanship, we care deeply about energy efficiency and the environment. After three decades in the industry, Virgil became one of the Sacramento Valley's early specialists in home energy performance. We help homeowners reduce their carbon footprint, dramatically lower energy bills, and improve indoor air quality — all while making their homes more beautiful and valuable. We're saving the planet one home at a time, and we think that's something worth being proud of.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a kitchen remodel cost in the Sacramento Valley?

The cost of a kitchen remodel in the Sacramento Valley varies depending on size, scope, and finish levels. Most full kitchen remodels fall between $50,000–$150,000. Cosmetic makeovers may start around $30,000, while luxury kitchens with custom cabinetry, structural changes, or high-end appliances often exceed $150,000. Remarkable Home Remodeling provides detailed, transparent estimates so you understand exactly what goes into your investment.

What is the average cost of a bathroom remodel in Folsom and surrounding areas?

Bathroom remodels in Folsom, Orangevale, Granite Bay, and surrounding communities typically range from $25,000–$75,000. Hall bathrooms are on the lower end, while primary suites with custom showers, upgraded tile, and high-end finishes will be higher. We help you design a bathroom that balances your vision, function, and budget.

How long does a kitchen or bathroom remodel usually take?

Kitchen remodels typically take 8–16 weeks once construction begins. Bathroom remodels generally require 6–10 weeks. Timeline depends on the complexity of the project and availability of materials. Our thorough planning process ensures selections are completed before construction starts, reducing surprises and minimizing delays.

Do I need a permit for a kitchen or bathroom remodel in El Dorado?

Most kitchen and bathroom remodels in Folsom and Sacramento County require permits — especially when electrical, plumbing, or structural changes are included. Cosmetic changes typically do not. Remarkable Home Remodeling handles all permitting and inspections to ensure compliance and keep your project running smoothly.

What’s the difference between a design-build remodeler and a general contractor?

A general contractor typically handles construction only. A design-build firm, like Remarkable Home Remodeling, manages the entire project — from initial design concepts and selections to construction and finishing. This integrated approach reduces miscommunication, speeds up timelines, and creates a more seamless experience for our clients.

Can I live in my home during a kitchen or bathroom remodel?

In most cases, yes. Many families stay in their homes during remodeling, though temporary inconveniences like dust or limited access to the space being remodeled should be expected. We often help clients set up temporary kitchen or bathroom solutions. For large, disruptive projects, some homeowners choose short-term housing.

Do you offer custom cabinetry and design services?

Yes. Remarkable Home Remodeling offers custom cabinetry solutions including RTA, semi-custom, and fully custom options. Our team assists with layout, finishes, and hardware to ensure your space is both functional and beautifully tailored to your home.

How do I choose the right remodeling company near me?

Look for a licensed, insured company with strong reviews, a proven process, and clear communication. Design-build firms offer a streamlined approach, reducing risk and improving outcomes. Remarkable Home Remodeling has a strong portfolio of kitchen and bathroom remodels throughout the Sacramento Valley and emphasizes transparency, quality, and client experience.
