Styles & brands we work with
Construction Company
A construction company is the entity that carries your project from drawings to occupancy, and in Saratoga that means navigating hillside setbacks, older housing stock from the 1960s and 70s, and HOA requirements in communities like the Golden Triangle. For a deeper look at what this involves, see The Complete General Contractor Guide for Saratoga Homeowners. Viceroy Construction operates as a full-scope construction company, not a specialty sub-trade, which means the framing crew, the plumber, the roofer, and the hardscape installer all answer to one contract and one schedule. A Saratoga kitchen remodel under our scope runs $14,000 – $45,000, while a paver driveway installation runs $7,000 – $18,000. We hold accountability across every layer.
One Contract, No Blame-Shifting
When you hire separate trades, the electrician blames the drywaller and the drywaller blames the framer. That ends with us. Viceroy Construction owns the entire scope, so when a cabinet arrives late or a window rough-in is off by an inch, there’s exactly one phone number to call, and it’s ours.
Brand Access at Every Layer
We source directly from manufacturers like Kohler for plumbing fixtures, Cambria for countertops, and GAF for roofing systems. You’re not sent to a design center to pick from whatever they stock. You choose from full catalogs, and we handle procurement, delivery, and installation.
Remodeling Contractor
A remodeling contractor specializes in transforming existing space rather than building new square footage, and that’s where the bulk of Saratoga work lives. Houses in the Argonaut and Blue Hills neighborhoods were built well but built for a different era; closed-off kitchens, single bathrooms, and windows that leak heated air in the winter. Viceroy Construction works as a remodeling contractor on projects from a $9,000 small kitchen refresh to a $28,000 primary bath overhaul, with everything up to whole-home interior updates. We also handle the exterior side of remodeling, including James Hardie siding replacement and window replacement at $4,500 – $15,000.
Interior to Exterior Continuity
Most remodeling contractors stop at the back door. Viceroy doesn’t. When your kitchen remodel exposes a rotted exterior wall or your new window rough-ins reveal failing siding, we handle the fix under the same contract. No new estimate, no new contractor, no month-long pause while you find someone else.
Material Selection Without the Runaround
We bring Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone samples to you, and we walk you through the difference between a $2,000 countertop install and a $6,500 one, honestly. Same for plumbing fixtures. You’ll know exactly why a Grohe system costs more than a basic Moen, and whether that difference matters for your project.
Licensed General Contractor
A General Contractor – Saratoga is the professional legally authorized to pull permits, schedule inspections, and oversee multiple trades on a residential project, and Viceroy Construction operates under a full general contracting license covering remodeling and renovation services in Saratoga. That distinction matters when you’re pulling permits through the Santa Clara County building department and your project involves structural changes, electrical work, or roofing. Home addition work in Saratoga runs $45,000 – $130,000, and garage conversions run $30,000 – $80,000. Every one of those projects requires permits and inspections. We pull them, and we pass them.
Permits and Inspections, Handled
The city of Saratoga has its own set of requirements for remodeling work, particularly on hillside lots where drainage and retaining walls come into play. We submit the plans, coordinate the inspections, and stand present when the inspector walks through. You don’t get a surprise stop-work order because a sub skipped a step.
Accountability Backed by License
A licensed general contractor in California has to answer to the Contractors State License Board. An unlicensed handyman doesn’t. That’s not a small difference when you’re writing checks for $30,000 or more. We encourage every Saratoga homeowner to verify any contractor’s license before signing anything, including ours.
Residential General Contractor
A residential general contractor handles single-family home projects rather than commercial buildings, and Saratoga’s housing stock demands residential expertise specifically. We’re dealing with 1960s ranch homes off Saratoga-Sunnyvale Road, newer builds near Congress Springs, and everything in between. Viceroy Construction is a residential general contractor that manages kitchen remodels at $14,000 – $45,000, bathroom remodels at $9,000 – $28,000, and roof replacements at $8,000 – $20,000. We don’t do office build-outs or retail spaces. Homes only, and that focus shows in how we schedule, what we stock, and how we protect your living space during construction.
Living Through a Remodel
Residential work means you’re still living in the house while we tear out your kitchen. We sequence the work so you have a functioning sink for as long as possible, we contain dust with zip walls, and we clean the worksite at the end of every day. That’s not a luxury add-on. That’s how residential contracting should be done.
ADU Capability in Saratoga
Saratoga allows accessory dwelling units on many lots, and the ADU construction range here runs $90,000 – $220,000. Through partnerships with Abodu, Dvele, Boxabl, and Mighty Buildings, we can deliver a prefab ADU as part of a larger renovation plan, something most remodelers can’t even quote. One contractor for the ADU, the main house, and the hardscape between them.
Hire a General Contractor
Hire a general contractor when your project involves more than two trades, a structural change, or a budget you can’t afford to lose to coordination chaos. The moment you’re scheduling an electrician, a plumber, and a cabinet installer separately, you’ve become the general contractor yourself, unpaid. Viceroy Construction steps into that role for Saratoga homeowners at every budget level. A tub-to-shower conversion runs $3,500 – $10,000. A full kitchen remodel with Cambria countertops and Kohler fixtures runs $14,000 – $45,000. What you’re buying is not just labor, it’s sequencing, sourcing, and a single point of accountability.
When to Call Us Instead of a Sub
If your project list includes more than one room, or one room plus an exterior element like siding or a roof, call a general contractor. The moment trades overlap, somebody has to own the critical path. That’s our job, and we’ve done it across Saratoga, Monte Sereno, and Los Gatos long enough to know where projects stall in this county.
Questions to Ask Any General Contractor
Ask who pulls permits. Ask who shows up on day one. Ask whether the price you’re quoted is fixed or “subject to change.” Ask to see a line-item estimate. We answer all of those questions in writing before you sign, and we stand behind the numbers.
General Contractor Services
General Contractor Maintenance Checklist for Saratoga Homeowners aside, general contractor services cover the full scope of residential construction management: demolition, framing, rough-in, finish work, and the administrative layer of permits, inspections, and scheduling that most homeowners never see until it goes wrong. Viceroy Construction’s general contractor services include kitchen and bath remodels, whole-home renovations, exterior makeovers, roofing, hardscaping, and ADU construction in Saratoga. Cabinet installation runs $4,000 – $13,000. A paver patio runs $3,500 – $11,000. A metal roof installation runs $15,000 – $40,000. We price every line item separately so you see exactly what each component costs.
Interior Remodeling Scope
Kitchens, baths, home additions, and garage conversions. We handle the demolition, the rough carpentry, the finish work, and everything in between. Countertop installation runs $2,000 – $6,500, depending on whether you choose Silestone, Caesarstone, or natural stone. Walk-in shower installations run $4,500 – $12,000 with fixtures from Kohler, Grohe, or Toto.
Exterior and Roofing Scope
Roof replacement, siding, fencing, driveways, and hardscape. Asphalt driveway paving in Saratoga runs $3,500 – $9,000, and a vinyl fence installation runs $3,500 – $9,000. Roof repair runs $400 – $1,800 for typical shingle damage. We use GAF and CertainTeed roofing systems, and Belgard or Techo-Bloc pavers when the project calls for them.

Brands We Service
We work extensively with GAF and CertainTeed roofing systems, and those two names represent most of the shingle roofs going on Saratoga homes right now. GAF Timberline HDZ is our default recommendation for standard slopes. CertainTeed Landmark offers a thicker shingle and a different color palette for homeowners who want something that reads more upscale. Both systems install cleanly, perform through the wet winters and dry summers we get here, and carry strong manufacturer warranties.
On the plumbing and fixture side, we spec Grohe for clients who want European engineering and precise temperature control in showers and baths. Sterling, from the Kohler family, gives us a mid-price option that still holds up in daily use. Whether you’ve already picked a Grohe system or you’re comparing Sterling against Toto and Moen, we can help you make the call and then install it correctly.

- Water stains on the ceiling or around windows. In Saratoga, this usually points to a roof leak or failed flashing. What starts as a $400 – $1,800 roof repair becomes a $8,000 – $20,000 roof replacement plus drywall work if it’s ignored through one rainy season.
- Cracked or sticking doors and windows. Houses on hillside lots shift. A door that won’t latch might be a humidity issue or it might be structural movement. Either way, you want a general contractor looking at the whole picture, not just the door.
- Your kitchen layout is fighting you daily. When you’re walking around the island to get to the fridge and there’s no landing space next to the range, the remodel isn’t a luxury. A $14,000 – $45,000 kitchen remodel in Saratoga pays back in daily function, and in resale value when you sell.
- One bathroom for a household that needs three. Saratoga homes from the 1960s often have one or one-and-a-half baths. That’s not a cosmetic problem. Adding a walk-in shower or converting a tub runs $3,500 – $12,000, and it changes how the whole house works.
- Cracked driveway or failing retaining wall. Concrete driveway installation runs $4,500 – $12,000 in Saratoga. A retaining wall that’s bulging is a structural issue. Don’t wait until the rainy season tests it. Call before it becomes a far bigger project.
Our Process, Step by Step
- 1
Initial consultation and site walk. We come to your Saratoga home, walk the space with you, and listen to what’s not working. We measure, we photograph, and we ask about how you actually use the house, not just what you want it to look like. This visit is free.
- 2
Line-item estimate. Within a few days, you get a written estimate broken out by trade and material. Kitchen cabinets priced separately from countertops, plumbing fixtures separate from labor. No lump-sum mystery number. Neil Drummond reviews every estimate before it goes out.
- 3
Permit submission and material ordering. Once you approve the scope, we pull permits through the appropriate jurisdiction and place material orders. We order Cambria slabs and Kohler fixtures early because lead times run weeks, not days, and we don’t want your project stalled on a backordered faucet.
- 4
Construction and weekly updates. Work begins, and you know what’s happening each week before it happens. The project lead calls you every Friday with a status report and a look at the next week’s schedule. If a change request comes up, you get a written change order with a price before work proceeds.
- 5
Final walkthrough and closeout. We walk the project together, build a punch list, and knock it out. Then we hand you a closeout packet with product warranties, material specs, and contact information for any future questions. You’re not chasing us down a month later wondering where a warranty card is.
How Much Does General Contractor Cost in Saratoga?
A typical small bathroom remodel in Saratoga runs $5,000 – $12,000, while a full kitchen remodel with new cabinets and countertops runs $14,000 – $45,000. A paver driveway installation runs $7,000 – $18,000, and a roof replacement on a standard Saratoga ranch runs $8,000 – $20,000. Home additions start around $45,000 and can reach $130,000 depending on foundation work and finish level. ADU construction runs $90,000 – $220,000, with prefab options from Abodu or Boxabl typically landing on the lower end and custom site-built units pushing higher.
What affects the price: the age of your home’s framing, whether you’re moving plumbing or gas lines, the grade of materials you choose, and whether the project exposes hidden issues like water damage or outdated wiring. Saratoga’s hillside lots can add cost for access and drainage work that flat lots never require. The way to avoid overpaying is to get a line-item estimate, not a lump sum. Every Viceroy Construction estimate breaks out materials, labor, and permits separately, so you can see where your money goes and make informed trade-offs. Our free estimates include all of this, no charge and no pressure.

Frequently Asked Questions About General Contractor in Saratoga
A general contractor is the licensed professional who manages your entire construction project, from pulling permits to scheduling inspections to coordinating every trade that steps foot on your property. Instead of hiring an electrician, a plumber, a framer, and a roofer individually, you hire one general contractor who owns the whole scope. Viceroy Construction serves as that single point of accountability for Saratoga homeowners on projects from $3,500 tub-to-shower conversions to $220,000 ADU builds. Call (877) 358-6557 to discuss your project.
Most kitchen remodels run 4 to 8 weeks, bathrooms run 2 to 4 weeks, and home additions or ADUs run 3 to 8 months depending on scope and permit review timelines. Saratoga’s permit process can add 2 to 6 weeks before construction even starts, which is why we submit plans early and order materials in parallel. We give you a written schedule before work begins and update it every Friday. The fastest way to get an accurate timeline for your specific project is to call us for a free estimate.
A kitchen remodel in Saratoga typically runs $14,000 – $45,000, with smaller kitchens at $9,000 – $20,000 and countertop installation adding $2,000 – $6,500 depending on whether you choose Cambria, Silestone, or Caesarstone. The final number depends on cabinet grade, whether you move plumbing, and your fixture choices. We provide line-item estimates so you see exactly where every dollar goes. Call (877) 358-6557 for an exact quote on your kitchen, free of charge.
Yes, we install GAF and CertainTeed roofing systems regularly, and we recommend both brands for Saratoga’s wet winters and dry summers. GAF Timberline HDZ is our standard recommendation for most homes, while CertainTeed Landmark offers a thicker shingle with a broader color range. Roof replacement in Saratoga runs $8,000 – $20,000, and roof repair runs $400 – $1,800. We handle the full roof scope from tear-off to final inspection.
For active leaks, storm damage, or safety hazards, we prioritize Saratoga calls and will get someone out to assess the situation as quickly as possible. Roof leaks and water intrusion can’t wait, and neither should you. A $400 roof repair today beats a $15,000 interior remediation next month. Call (877) 358-6557 and describe what’s happening, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s an emergency or can be scheduled.
We stand behind our workmanship, and the products we install carry manufacturer warranties from brands like GAF, CertainTeed, Kohler, and Cambria. Roofing systems carry manufacturer warranties that run decades. Cabinet and countertop warranties vary by manufacturer, and we walk you through the terms for every product before you commit. If something fails due to our installation, we fix it. No fine-print runaround.
Clear the work area of personal items, decide where temporary storage will live, and have a plan for where you’ll cook and shower during the project’s active phases. We protect your floors, seal off the work zone, and clean daily, but you’ll still want access to a temporary kitchen or bath. We walk you through a preparation checklist specific to your project before we ever swing a hammer. Call (877) 358-6557 and we’ll send you the checklist tailored to your scope.
