In addition to new construction, Semmes & Company has an active Home Energy Evaluations and Remodeling Division. As the housing stock in our area ages, more and more homeowners are drawn to the idea of updating their home. Challenging economic times are another impetus for remodeling an existing home rather buying a new one. Other motivations to remodel are making the home more energy efficient, accommodating changing lifestyles such as opening up spaces, or family dynamics such as an elderly parent moving in or children going off to college.

Whatever your motivation for remodeling, we can make your home more valuable, more attractive, more comfortable, and more efficient, saving you money on your energy bills while you help the planet.

Ask us for a copy of our "Rebates and Incentives" handout for information on funds available for improving your home.

As part of a remodeling project, Semmes & Co preserved the charm of this older Bungalow Style home (see below) while increasing its size and reducing its energy costs. Find out more in our "Reduce, Reuse, Remodel" brochure...

Remodeling Services

At Semmes & Co., we provide an array of services to aid you in your efforts to remodel your home.

Design Services

We can handle all the design and drafting required to make your dream come true or work with your architect. From this we can provide accurate costing to ensure you get the best value for your investments.

Home Energy Evaluations

We will help you obtain a diagnostic review of your home’s energy consumption so you can see what changes you might want to include in your remodel.

Permitting

The permit process can be tedious and complicated. We will complete any necessary paperwork and walk your project through the planning department for you.

As part of our remodeling services, we also provide:

Interior Coordination

Our staff can assist you with such things as choosing your paint colors, tile, counters, cabinets, plumbing fixtures and other interior finishes. There is no need to hire an interior designer.

Fire Resistant Construction

The Central Coast area is prone to wild fires. We incorporate fire resistant design, materials, and landscaping practices to protect you from losing your home to fire. Building sustainably means you should only have to build your home or remodel once.

Trained Craftspeople

We maintain our own crew of highly trained trades and craftspeople who will be on your job daily. Our company has a commitment to training the next generation of skilled workers.

Sustainable Building Process

Our on-the-job practices are as environmentally friendly as the design and materials of your home remodel. We reuse materials when possible, reduce waste, and recycle approximately 85% of all jobsite waste.
