Remodeling in Vallejo
Vallejo is home base for E&MC Remodeling, and the houses here are the ones we know best. The city grew explosively around the Mare Island Naval Shipyard, which operated from 1854 until 1996 and drew tens of thousands of workers during World War II. A large share of Vallejo's housing was built quickly in the 1940s and 1950s to hold them, which means plenty of compact, single-story houses with original kitchens and bathrooms that have now outlived their finishes.
Walk the streets of Vallejo Heights and you see the other side of the city: older Victorian-era and Craftsman houses on the hillside above downtown, with plaster walls, original wood windows and framing that does not follow modern dimensions. Remodeling them means respecting what is there while repairing what time has done. Out toward Hiddenbrooke, the houses are newer, larger and built around the hills, so the projects there lean toward kitchens, outdoor living and finishing work.
As a Vallejo-based contractor, we can respond quickly and we are around for follow-up after the job is done. Ernesto Cisneros runs the company from here, which keeps decisions local and questions simple.
What we do most often in Vallejo
Kitchen Remodeling
Original kitchens in mid-century Vallejo houses are the most common project: tired cabinets, worn counters and tight layouts that deserve a fresh start.

Bathroom Remodeling
Single tub-shower bathrooms from the 1950s are ideal candidates for walk-in showers, new tile and vanities with real storage.

Siding Installation
Houses near the Carquinez Strait deal with wind and winter rain that wear on old siding, so replacement and house wrap are frequent jobs.

Window Installation
Replacing aging windows in older Vallejo homes cuts drafts and noise, and it works best when flashing and siding are done together.

Post-war housing stock
Houses built during the wartime shipyard boom were framed quickly and often modified since. We expect wiring and plumbing from several eras behind the same wall and plan for it.
Historic and older homes
Vallejo Heights and the blocks near downtown contain older houses whose plaster walls, original trim and uneven floors need patient work and sometimes custom matching.
Hills and access
Many Vallejo streets are steep and narrow. Delivering cabinets, tile and scaffolding takes planning, and exterior work on hillside lots needs a safe staging plan.
Permits through the city
Projects that change structure, plumbing or electrical systems generally go through the City of Vallejo building division. We confirm what your project requires before work begins.
