Fast, Reliable General Contractor Across Sunnyvale
Hiring a general contractor in Sunnyvale means finding someone who understands what’s behind the walls of a 1950s Eichler or orchard-era ranch before quoting the job. Viceroy Construction, led by Neil Drummond, handles full-scope remodels, additions, and ADU builds across Sunnyvale’s 94085, 94086, 94087, and 94088 zip codes, from kitchen tearouts to second-story additions that require engineered plans the city expects up front. We price the hidden wiring, framing, and waterproofing failures Sunnyvale homes reliably expose, and we put those allowances in writing before work starts. Call (877) 358-6557 for a free estimate and a straight answer on what your project will actually take.
Why Viceroy Construction Is Sunnyvale’s Preferred General Contractor Company
Sunnyvale homeowners call us because we already know their housing stock. The post-and-beam Eichlers in 94087, the ranch tracts off El Camino Real, and the newer townhome clusters along the Downtown corridor each demand different approaches to permitting, structural work, and finish selection. We carry that local knowledge into every scope we write, which is why our Sunnyvale clients keep referring us to neighbors on the same block.
Our reputation in Sunnyvale is built on change-order discipline. When a kitchen remodel on an orchard-era ranch opens a wall and finds outdated wiring or a load-bearing post that’s been notched badly, we stop, photograph it, price the fix as a written change order, and only proceed after approval. No surprise bills. Neil Drummond holds that standard personally, and it’s why our Sunnyvale customers know the number on the contract is the number they’re approving at every stage. Estimates are free, and we schedule Sunnyvale walkthroughs quickly.
Styles & brands we work with
Residential General Contractor in Sunnyvale
A Residential General Contractor in Sunnyvale is the single accountable party for the full renovation scope, from the first demolition cut to final inspection sign-off. On Sunnyvale’s older homes, that means coordinating structural fixes, electrical and plumbing rough-in, insulation, drywall, then finish work across cabinetry, tile, countertops, and fixtures, all under one contract. A typical kitchen remodel in Sunnyvale runs $14,000 – $45,000, and a bathroom remodel runs $9,000 – $28,000, with the spread driven by what the walls reveal once they’re open.
Full-Scope Remodeling on Older Sunnyvale Homes
Sunnyvale’s 1950s and 60s tract homes often have shallow slab foundations, post-and-beam framing, and single-pane windows that trigger code upgrades the moment we pull a permit, which is why many clients also ask about ES Windows service in Sunnyvale. We build those upgrades into the initial quote as allowances rather than waiting for the surprise. That’s the difference between a clean gut remodel and a project that stalls out mid-permit.
One Contractor, Every Trade
You don’t juggle a plumber, an electrician, a framer, and a tile crew. We run scheduling, quality control, and inspections for every trade, so a Rough-in inspection that fails doesn’t become your problem to chase. We own it. That continuity is why homeowners in Sunnyvale’s 94086 and 94087 neighborhoods hire a General Contractor instead of patchworking subs themselves.
Hire a General Contractor in Sunnyvale
When you Hire a General Contractor in Sunnyvale, you’re buying a written scope, a draw schedule, and a single phone number for every question the project throws at you. A home addition in Sunnyvale runs $45,000 – $130,000, an ADU build runs $90,000 – $220,000, and a garage conversion runs $30,000 – $80,000. Those ranges assume the structural and Title 24 upgrades Sunnyvale’s review process triggers, because we write them in from day one.
Written Scope and Change Orders
Every Sunnyvale project we take starts with a line-item scope. When the walls open on a 94085 ranch and we find a subfloor patched after an old plumbing leak, we price the repair, photograph it, and get written approval before touching it. There’s no verbal handshake that turns into a bill later.
Permits and Inspections Handled by Us
Sunnyvale’s building department expects engineered plans for anything touching post-and-beam roofs on Eichler lots, and we submit those plans before we ask for the permit. We pull every permit, schedule every inspection, and we don’t close a wall until the inspector signs off. That’s non-negotiable on our projects.
Trusted Brands We Service in Sunnyvale
We specify materials from brands Sunnyvale homeowners already trust, and we handle the procurement so you’re not driving to a showroom on a Tuesday afternoon. Cabinetry through KraftMaid and Wellborn, countertops through Silestone and Caesarstone, plumbing fixtures from Kohler and Moen, and roofing systems from GAF and CertainTeed. Since we’re based in Saratoga, parts and material runs to Sunnyvale jobsites happen fast, and our suppliers know our account, which keeps lead times tighter than a homeowner ordering solo.

AfterCommon General Contractor Problems We See in Sunnyvale Homes
- Undersized framing at load-bearing posts. On post-and-beam Eichlers in 94087, a notched or rotted post can compromise the roof structure. We engineer the repair, not just sister a board and hope the inspector passes it.
- Outdated wiring buried behind original drywall. 1950s ranches off El Camino Real often still have ungrounded circuits. Opening walls for a remodel triggers the electrical upgrade, and we price it as an allowance, not a surprise.
- Failed waterproofing on slab foundations. Shallow slabs from the orchard era wick moisture differently than modern pours. We inspect for previous patching and failed membranes before quoting tile or flooring work.
- Underbidding by out-of-town contractors. Contractors crossing over from San Jose or Santa Clara routinely underestimate the engineered plans Sunnyvale requires for anything touching a post-and-beam roof. We don’t, because we’ve done the submittals.

FAQs About General Contractor in Sunnyvale
Because 1950s and 60s Sunnyvale homes reliably contain outdated wiring, undersized framing, and prior patch jobs that no visual walkthrough can price. We handle this by writing allowances into the contract for exactly these discoveries. When we open a wall and find something, we stop work, photograph it, price the fix as a written change order, and get your approval before proceeding. The quote moves because the house is older than the quote. Call (877) 358-6557 and we’ll explain which allowances your project needs.
Yes. Eichler and orchard-era post-and-beam homes in 94085 through 94087 almost always require engineered plans for anything touching the roof structure, and Sunnyvale’s building review expects that engineering submitted up front, not added mid-permit. We bring the structural engineer in before the submittal, so the permit review doesn’t stall. Call (877) 358-6557 for a free estimate on your addition.
We pull every permit, schedule every inspection, and don’t close a wall until the inspector signs off. On a gut remodel in Sunnyvale’s 94086, that means electrical rough-in, framing, plumbing, and insulation inspections happen in sequence, and we run that schedule so the project doesn’t idle between trades. If an inspection fails, we fix it and reschedule, and that’s on us. Call (877) 358-6557 to talk through the sequence for your project.
A kitchen remodel in Sunnyvale runs $14,000 – $45,000, and a bathroom remodel runs $9,000 – $28,000. The lower ends reflect smaller scopes in newer townhomes. The upper ends reflect full teardown-to-studs work on Eichler or ranch homes where structural, electrical, and Title 24 upgrades are mandatory. We price the scoped work plus written allowances for what the walls hide. Call (877) 358-6557 for an exact line-item quote.
We stage materials before demolition starts and schedule inspections the day the rough-in is ready, not the week after. On Sunnyvale’s small orchard-era lots, where a foundation tie-in to a shallow slab needs engineered details and the city reviews before the permit, we front-load the engineering so the submittal doesn’t sit in review while the crew waits. Call (877) 358-6557 and we’ll lay out the schedule for your specific lot.
On a post-and-beam Eichler in the 94087 orchard tract, we opened the walls for a kitchen remodel and found single-pane-era outdated wiring, undersized framing at a load-bearing post, and a subfloor that had been patched after an old plumbing leak. We stopped work, wrote the rough-in and framing repair as a priced change order with photos, and only after written approval did our tech pull the electrical permit and set the draw schedule. Inspection sign-off came before any drywall closed the walls. That’s how we run every job in Sunnyvale, no exceptions.
