The houses

Mid-century ranches, built long and low.

Carmichael is mostly mid-century ranch homes on large lots: single-story, spread out and set back from the street. The original floor plans usually have a closed kitchen and a separate family room.

The lots give you options: opening the plan, adding on, or building covered outdoor living.

Permits

Who issues your permit in Carmichael.

Carmichael is unincorporated, so building permits come from Sacramento County rather than a city. We handle the submittals and inspections with the county as part of the job. Setbacks and lot coverage on larger lots usually allow more than owners expect, and we check those up front.

Nearby: Sierra Oaks, Folsom, Sacramento.

Questions

Carmichael remodeling questions

Is Carmichael in the City of Sacramento?

No. It’s unincorporated Sacramento County, so permits and inspections go through the county.

Can we open the kitchen to the family room?

In most ranch homes, yes. We find out whether the wall is structural first. If it is, we engineer and permit a beam; if not, it’s simpler.

Do you build patio covers in Carmichael?

Yes. See additions and outdoor living. We design the cover to tie into the existing roofline.
