From the Studs Up, A Complete Remodel in Crows Landing, CA
New framing, a full laundry room addition, and a finished interior that looks and lives like new construction.
WHAT THE HOMEOWNERS WANTED
The homeowner had owned this Crows Landing investment property for some time and had previously worked with CCR on a neighboring house on the same road. Having seen what CCR delivered on that project, the decision to bring them back for this one was straightforward. The home needed far more than surface updates. A complete remodel was the only path to bringing it up to the standard of the finished property next door. CCR got to work.
Beyond the interior, the property had a long-standing problem: no functional laundry room. The existing laundry area had deteriorated to the point where a new addition was the only viable path forward. That meant digging a new foundation, pouring concrete, framing new walls, running new electrical and plumbing, and finishing the addition with HardiePlank siding to match the home's exterior. It was the single largest individual scope item on the project and one of the most visible transformations when finished.
Homeowner Priorities
- Complete interior remodel, every room, no shortcuts
- Build a new laundry room addition from foundation up
- Fully rewire the electrical and replace plumbing as needed
- New kitchen with cabinets, countertops, and appliances
- Updated bathrooms with new fixtures, tile, and stone surround
- Durable, low-maintenance finishes appropriate for a rental property
BEFORE THE REMODEL
When CCR arrived on site, the home was intact but showing its age, outdated throughout and in need of a full systems overhaul. Before photos weren't captured at the outset of the project, so the earliest images on file show the home mid-demo, once walls were already open and flooring had been removed. What those images reflect is the scope CCR uncovered once work began: wiring that required full replacement, plumbing that needed to be rerun in the walls, and a laundry area beyond repair. Rather than patch around problems, the scope was written to address everything at once, new framing, new systems, and a new laundry room built from a poured foundation up.
Existing Conditions
- Open concrete patio slab with no enclosure or structure
- No windows, doors, or weatherproofing of any kind
- No electrical, no outlets, lighting, or fan capability
- Fully exposed to weather, heat, and outdoor elements
- No interior finishes, no flooring, walls, or ceiling treatment
- Disconnected from the comfort and livability of the main home
The Remodeling Process
FOUNDATION, FRAMING & LAUNDRY ROOM ADDITION
This Crows Landing remodel required CCR to sequence a wide range of trades across a home that was essentially an empty shell and to do it while simultaneously constructing a brand-new laundry room addition from the ground up. Every system in the house was touched: framing, concrete foundation work, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, insulation, drywall, tile, cabinetry, stone, flooring, paint, and exterior siding. The process demanded careful coordination so that rough work in one area didn't block finish work in another and so the new addition tied seamlessly into the existing structure by the time the final coat of paint was applied.
MECHANICAL ROUGH-IN, ELECTRICAL, PLUMBING & HVAC
With walls open throughout the home, CCR sequenced the mechanical trades efficiently. The electrical was fully rewired new circuits, new plugs and switches throughout, a rewired kitchen area, and a completely new electrical layout in the laundry addition including a new sub-panel. Plumbing was rough-in and trimmed out for all fixtures, with new supply and drain lines run in the walls as needed. The HVAC technician inspected and tested the existing unit, relocating lines as needed to accommodate the new layout. All rough-in work was inspected and signed off before insulation and drywall proceeded.
INSULATION, DRYWALL & EXTERIOR FINISH
Once rough-in was complete, insulation was installed throughout the home and packed fully into the new laundry addition walls and floor cavity. New drywall was hung in the addition, and patching and floating were completed in all areas of the main house that required it. On the exterior, HardiePlank cement board siding was installed on the laundry addition walls, with 2x4 corner and window trim installed around all openings to match the home's existing profile. Exterior paint was applied to the new siding to bring the addition into a consistent finish with the rest of the structure.
CABINETS, STONE, FLOORING & INTERIOR FINISH
The interior finish phase brought every room to completion. New kitchen cabinets were installed and topped with stone countertops; the bathrooms received stone shower surrounds and new fixtures throughout. LVT flooring was installed in every room of the house, paired with new base and door trim and quarter-round throughout. Interior walls received a full coat of PVA primer followed by finish paint in every room. New mini blinds were installed at all windows, doors were hung, and all fixtures, mirrors, toilet accessories, and lighting were installed and trimmed out. The addition received the same level of finish as every other room in the house.
