What Clients Say

Built on reputation.

A few words from homeowners who trusted us with their most valuable asset.

★★★★★
White River built our ADU start to finish. Permits, foundation, framing, electrical, everything. Done in 14 weeks, exactly on the quoted price. It's already rented.
Marcus & Diana Okafor Elk Grove • Detached ADU, 640 sq ft
★★★★★
Kitchen went from builder-grade disaster to something out of a magazine. The crew was respectful, fast, and clean every single day. Night and day from our last contractor.
Priya Nair Sacramento • Full Kitchen Remodel
★★★★★
Got three quotes. White River was the only team that walked every inch of the yard before quoting the deck. That's the kind of detail that earns trust before work even starts.

FAQ

Common questions, answered.

The things people ask us most before they pick up the phone.

Do you handle permits for ADU and remodeling projects?

Yes, on every project that requires them. We prepare and submit all permit applications, coordinate inspections, and ensure every phase passes before we move forward. You never chase the city on your own.

How long does a typical ADU build take?

From signed contract to certificate of occupancy, most detached ADUs run 12 to 18 weeks depending on permit turnaround and site conditions. We provide a detailed schedule before work starts and update it weekly.

What does a kitchen remodel cost?

Kitchen remodels range widely based on scope. Targeted refreshes (paint, hardware, lighting) start around $8k. Full gut-and-rebulds with custom cabinetry and new appliances typically run $45k to $90k. Every quote is fixed in writing after an in-home visit.

Do you use your own crew or subcontractors?

Our core crew are White River Group employees on every job. For licensed specialty work (electrical, plumbing), we use a consistent roster of vetted trade partners we've worked with for years, not random day-labor bidders.

What warranty do you offer on your work?

All White River projects carry a 2-year workmanship warranty in writing. Material and product warranties from manufacturers sit on top of that and are transferred directly to you at handover.

What areas do you serve?

We serve Sacramento, Elk Grove, Roseville, Folsom, Rancho Cordova, Citrus Heights, Rocklin, Lincoln, and surrounding communities. If you're unsure whether we cover your area, reach out and we'll tell you straight.

ADU framing under construction
Accessory Dwelling Units

ADU Construction that pays for itself.

Detached units, attached additions, and garage conversions built to California code from permit to certificate of occupancy. We handle everything.

Get a Free ADU Estimate
What We Build

Every type of ADU.

California's updated ADU laws mean more homeowners can add a rentable unit than ever before. White River Group has built every ADU type across the Sacramento region.

🏠

Detached ADUs

Standalone structures in your backyard, from 400 to 1,200 sq ft. Full kitchen, bath, and living area. Rental income from day one.

🏢

Attached ADUs

Living space additions connected to your main home with a separate entrance. Ideal for multigenerational households.

🚗

Garage Conversions

Transform an underused garage into a legal, rentable ADU. Fastest timeline and lowest cost of all ADU types.

📄

Full Permit Management

We handle every permit application, structural drawing, energy calculation, and city inspection from start to close.

All Trades In-House

Framing, plumbing, electrical, insulation, drywall, flooring, and finish work under one contract with one point of contact.

📈

ROI Guidance

We help you understand current rental rates and expected ROI before you commit, so you build with confidence.

ADU framing stage
The Process

Permit to keys in 14 to 18 weeks.

After we confirm your design and budget, our team submits all permit documentation directly to the city. Most Sacramento-area permits clear in 4 to 6 weeks. Construction then runs 8 to 12 weeks on site.

Throughout the build you receive a weekly photo update, a dedicated project manager to call, and access to our online progress tracker. No calling around to find out what's happening on your own property.

Start Your ADU Project
FAQ

ADU questions answered.

How much does an ADU cost to build in Sacramento?

Detached ADUs typically run $180,000 to $320,000 fully finished and permitted depending on size and finishes. Garage conversions are generally $60,000 to $120,000. Every White River quote is fixed after a site visit.

Can I rent out my ADU right away?

Yes, once we deliver the Certificate of Occupancy the unit is legal to rent. We build to the standards required so there are no surprises at final inspection.

What lot size do I need for a detached ADU?

California law now allows ADUs on most single-family lots. The exact setbacks and maximum size depend on your specific parcel. We assess this as part of your free estimate visit and tell you exactly what you can build.

Scope of Work

Everything under one contract.

No coordinating multiple contractors. White River handles design, demolition, plumbing, electrical, cabinetry, countertops, tile, and finish work from a single point of contact.

📷

Layout Design

We redraw the floor plan where it helps, or improve what you have. Every layout decision is reviewed with you before demo begins.

🏠

Custom Cabinetry

Semi-custom and fully custom cabinet lines from suppliers we've vetted for quality and lead time. Built-ins, islands, and pantry systems included.

🧲

Countertops

Quartz, granite, butcher block, and porcelain slabs. We template, fabricate, and install in-house.

Electrical & Plumbing

Rewiring for modern appliance loads, new outlet placement, and plumbing rerouting all permitted and inspected.

💡

Lighting

Recessed, under-cabinet, pendant, and task lighting planned as part of the design, not added as an afterthought.

Tile & Flooring

Backsplash tile, hardwood, LVP, and tile flooring transitions handled by our own crew, not a subcontractor you've never met.

Completed White River kitchen
Our Approach

Design first. Build second.

Every kitchen remodel starts with a design session where we look at your existing layout, talk about how you actually use the space, and explore what's structurally possible. You see a detailed plan before a single cabinet is ordered.

Remodel timelines range from 4 weeks for a targeted refresh to 10 weeks for a full gut with layout changes. We give you a specific schedule on day one and stick to it.

Modern bathroom remodel by White River Group
Bathroom Remodeling

Bathrooms built to hotel standard.

Master baths, guest baths, and primary suite conversions. Tile, plumbing, vanities, and waterproofing handled by our own licensed crew.

Get a Bathroom Estimate
What's Included

Full-scope bathroom renovation.

Every White River bathroom remodel covers the complete scope. No piecemeal work handed off between contractors.

🚿

Walk-In Showers

Custom tile enclosures, frameless glass, niche shelving, linear drains, and rainfall heads. Properly waterproofed behind every surface.

🏊

Freestanding Tubs

Soaking tubs and freestanding fixtures installed and plumbed correctly from day one, not retrofitted.

🧩

Vanities & Storage

Custom and semi-custom vanities, floating cabinets, and built-in storage solutions designed to the room's specific dimensions.

📌

Tile Work

Floor tile, wall tile, and feature panels. We set large-format slabs, mosaic details, and everything between with the same crew.

Plumbing & Electrical

Relocating fixtures, upgrading to modern valves and supply lines, GFCI compliance, and exhaust fan upgrades all handled in-house.

💡

Lighting Design

Vanity lighting, recessed ceiling fixtures, and backlit mirror framing planned as part of the design so it looks intentional, not added later.

Completed primary bathroom
Waterproofing

The work behind the tile matters most.

Most bathroom remodel failures trace back to improper waterproofing. White River uses certified membrane systems behind every wet area, installed and inspected before tile is ever set.

We document every stage with photos and make them available to you. If you're financing or selling later, you have evidence of what's behind the walls.

Deck framing under construction
Deck Building

Outdoor living space built to last.

Ground-level patios to elevated multi-level decks. Pressure-treated, composite, and hardwood builds that pass every inspection and hold up to California weather.

Get a Deck Estimate
What We Build

Decks built for real outdoor life.

We design and build decks that make sense for your home's layout, your yard's grade, and how you actually use outdoor space.

🌳

Pressure-Treated Wood

The reliable, cost-effective choice for decks that need to handle direct ground contact and regular weather exposure.

🌟

Composite Decking

Trex, TimberTech, and Fiberon composite boards for low-maintenance performance with the look of hardwood. No staining, minimal upkeep.

🪵

Hardwood Decking

Ipe, tigerwood, and cedar for clients who want the real thing. Beautiful material handled with proper fastening and acclimation.

🛠

Structural Engineering

Every elevated deck gets stamped drawings and proper ledger connections. We don't build structures that fail under load.

🚪

Railing Systems

Cable rail, aluminum balusters, glass panels, and wood pickets. Designed and installed to current code so it passes inspection every time.

💡

Built-In Features

Bench seating, pergolas, overhead shade structures, and outdoor lighting integrated into the build, not bolted on after.

Deck framing detail
Built Right from the Ground Up

The framing matters as much as the surface.

Most deck failures start with an undersized beam or a poorly attached ledger board, not the decking boards people see. White River overbeds the structural frame, sizes every beam to span, and makes sure footings go below the frost depth required by your local inspector.

The result is a deck that looks great, passes every inspection, and doesn't develop soft spots or wobble after the first winter.

Our Story

15 years building homes worth being proud of.

White River Group started with a single conviction: homeowners deserve contractors who operate with the same care they would if it were their own home. Too many people in this industry treat residential construction as a transaction. We've built our business on treating it as a relationship.

Over 15 years and more than 500 completed projects, we've grown by word of mouth. Every client who refers a neighbor to us is a vote of confidence we work hard to earn and keep.

We're licensed general contractors serving Sacramento, Elk Grove, Roseville, Folsom, and surrounding communities. Our core team handles every trade we build, so quality doesn't slip when we hand off to someone else.

Home Improvement Financing

Build now, pay on your terms.

White River Group works with approved home improvement lenders so upfront cost doesn't have to be the reason you delay your project another year.

Ask About Financing
Why Finance

Start your project now, not when the budget is perfect.

The right time to remodel or build an ADU is often when you need it, not when you happen to have all the cash on hand. Financing lets you start now and pay over time at predictable monthly amounts.

Flexible loan terms

Repayment terms from 12 to 84 months. We help you find the structure that matches your budget.

Pre-qualify with no credit hit

Soft credit checks to explore options. Full application only when you're ready to move forward.

Fixed project price

You finance the exact written quote amount. No scope creep added later that inflates your loan.

How It Works

Three steps to approved.

01

Get Your Estimate

Request a free on-site estimate. We document the full scope and fixed price in writing.

02

Apply for Financing

We connect you with our lending partners. Pre-qualification typically takes one business day.

03

Start Building

Once financing is approved, we schedule your project start date and begin within 2 to 4 weeks.

FAQ

Financing questions answered.

Does pre-qualifying affect my credit score?

No. The initial pre-qualification uses a soft credit pull that does not affect your score. A hard inquiry only happens when you submit a full application and choose to proceed.

What loan amounts are available?

Most home improvement financing is available from $5,000 to $150,000 depending on your credit profile and the project scope. ADU builds often qualify for larger home equity-backed products.

Can I finance part of the project and pay cash for the rest?

Yes. You can finance any portion of the project amount. We split the quote accordingly and treat each component clearly in the contract.
