Who we are
We build homes that feel considered — not renovated.
Realty Builders is a licensed design-build remodeling company. That means the people who draw your project are the people who build it — no gap between an architect’s vision and a contractor’s reality, and one point of accountability from the first sketch to the final walkthrough.
The result is a home that feels intentional in the details you notice and the ones you don’t. Honest pricing, a protected and organized job site, and a process calm enough that the best part is the finished room — not the relief that it’s over.

ExploreWhy Realty Builders
The difference is in the management
Beautiful work is the expectation. What sets a remodel apart is whether it stays on budget, on schedule, and under control — and that comes down to how a project is run.
Pricing you can actually read
A detailed written estimate tied to a real scope and real selections. Changes are quoted in writing before any work proceeds, so the budget doesn’t drift.
25 years, still licensed and building
A quarter century of remodeling across California, backed by CSLB license #797103. Experience shows up in the details you don’t see and the problems we prevent.
A calm, managed process
A protected, clean job site and a project manager who communicates. Remodeling is disruptive by nature — good management is what keeps it from being stressful.
How it works
A process built to keep you comfortable
Six clear stages, from the first conversation to the day we hand back your home. You always know what’s happening now and what decision comes next.
See the full process- 01
Consultation
Week 1We visit your home, listen to how you live in it, and talk honestly about scope, priorities, and budget. You leave knowing whether we’re the right fit — no pressure, no vague promises.
- 02
Design & Selections
Weeks 2–6We develop the plan, produce drawings and 3D views, and guide your material and finish selections. Locking these in early is what keeps the budget and schedule honest once we build.
- 03
Estimate & Agreement
Before we buildYou receive a detailed written estimate tied to a defined scope and real selections — not placeholders. When you approve it, the number you sign is the number we build to.
- 04
Permits & Engineering
Varies by cityWe prepare complete submittals, coordinate structural and mechanical engineering, and manage plan check and corrections so your project clears review as smoothly as possible.

Questions homeowners ask
Still wondering about something? We’re glad to talk it through — no obligation.
Ask us directlyAre you a licensed and insured contractor?
Yes. Realty Builders, Inc. is a licensed California general contractor (CSLB #797103) and carries insurance. We’re glad to provide current documentation before your project begins.
What areas do you serve?
We remodel homes across the San Francisco Bay Area — the city, the Peninsula, and the South Bay — and across Southern California, from the San Fernando Valley to the Westside and the San Gabriel Valley.
Do you handle design, or do I need an architect?
We’re a design-build company, so design and construction happen under one roof. If you already have an architect or drawings, we’re happy to build from them.
How do you price a project?
From a detailed scope and your finalized selections, so the written estimate reflects real materials and work rather than a placeholder number. Any changes are quoted in writing before we proceed.
Will you handle permits and inspections?
Yes. We prepare submittals, coordinate engineering, and manage plan check and inspections through final sign-off as part of the project.
How do you keep the project on schedule?
One project manager owns the schedule, selections are locked before construction, and trades are sequenced to avoid collisions. You always know what’s happening this week and what decisions are coming next.
How do we get started?
Reach out for a consultation. We’ll visit your home, talk through your goals and budget, and give you an honest read on scope and next steps.
