Uninhabitable to Market-Ready | Fremont, CA
A complete top-to-bottom whole house remodel every room, every system, fully managed by CCR.
WHAT THE HOMEOWNERS WANTED
Carlos had purchased the Fremont property as an investment and came to CCR with a straightforward ask, handle everything. As a returning customer, he already knew what Mario could deliver. This time, the scope was bigger — a complete whole-house remodel with CCR making the design decisions, coordinating all trades, and managing every phase.
The goal was a fully updated, market-ready home. New kitchen, three renovated bathrooms, fresh flooring throughout, updated electrical and plumbing, new lighting, new paint, and a cleaned-up exterior. Carlos also added appliances, window blinds, and garage prep before signing.
Homeowner Priorities
- Full top-to-bottom remodel
- Hands-off — CCR to manage all trades and decisions
- Market-ready finish throughout
- Kitchen and all three bathrooms updated
- New flooring on both floors
- Consistent, cohesive look throughout the home
BEFORE THE REMODEL
This wasn't a cosmetic refresh. When Mario walked the property, it was clear the home had been vacant for an extended period and required serious remediation before any finish work could begin.
The conditions shaped every decision about materials, sequencing, and approach — and they make the finished result all the more significant.
Existing Conditions
- Home had been vacant for an extended period and was not habitable.
- The previous owner was a long-term smoker — odor had penetrated walls, ceilings, and ductwork.
- The property had been rat-infested — odor remediation and structural inspection required.
- Dry rot and mold discovered during demo required repair before rough-in work could begin.
- Every room required work before the home could be occupied.
The Remodeling Process
With a project this complex, sequence matters. CCR worked through the home systematically, remediation first, rough work second, finishes last in order to avoid rework and keep the project on track
Site Prep, Demo & Odor Remediation
Full demo of the kitchen and both bathrooms. A smoke-deadening primer was applied to all surfaces, with an odor-neutralizing additive mixed into the paint throughout the home. COIT was brought in to treat the entire HVAC duct system, addressing the source of the odor, not just the surface.
Structural Repairs
Dry rot and mold discovered during demo were fully repaired before any rough-in work began. No shortcuts, structural integrity came first.
Plumbing & Electrical Rough-In
New rough-in plumbing for the kitchen sink, dishwasher, hood vent, two toilets, three vanity sinks, and shower trim-out. Electrical rough-in for recessed lighting throughout, ceiling fans in every bedroom, a chandelier at the staircase, new plugs and switches on both floors, and fire alarms and CO sensors.
Drywall, Cabinets & Countertops
New sheetrock installed and finished throughout. European-style shaker cabinets with soft close hardware installed in the kitchen and all three bathrooms. Arctic White quartz countertops fabricated and installed across 64 square feet of kitchen and vanity surfaces.
Flooring
New LVT flooring installed on the entire first floor and the second-floor bathroom. New carpet with fresh padding installed on the staircase and throughout the second floor. Transition strips installed throughout.
Paint, Trim & Finish Work
A fire primer coat applied to all surfaces, followed by two coats of Swiss Coffee throughout, one consistent tone that gave the home a clean, unified feel. All new baseboard, door trim, doorknobs, hinges, and cabinet hardware installed. New closet doors and interior doors throughout.
Shower Refinish, Lighting & Appliances
The upstairs shower was refinished by Miracle Method and fitted with a new sliding glass door, a cost-effective alternative to a full replacement. New LED recessed lights, ceiling fans, vanity lights, accent lighting, and new appliances installed throughout.
Homeowner review on google
Nothing builds confidence like hearing directly from a homeowner who has been through the process firsthand.
"Mario has done two remodels for me, and he has exceeded my expectations each time. The second project was a complete top-to-bottom remodel, and Mario handled every aspect from paint to flooring. I was especially impressed with his communication and the value he provided throughout the entire process. I HIGHLY recommend Cordeiro Remodeling!"
