What ParagonCA does
Substantial repairs and improvements — not punch-list handyman work.
Sellers and listing agents often face a straightforward question before listing: are there construction issues worth addressing before the property goes to market? Deferred maintenance, outdated bathrooms, damaged showers, water-damaged areas, or failing tile can affect how a property shows and how buyers respond to it.
ParagonCA Remodeling (CSLB #1066959) evaluates and completes contractor-level repairs and improvements — bathroom remodeling, kitchen improvements, tub-to-shower conversions, tile and flooring, water-damage reconstruction, and failed waterproofing. We provide written scopes and estimates so sellers and agents can make informed decisions about what to address before listing.
We are a licensed remodeling and reconstruction contractor. We do not provide real estate advice, appraisals, home inspections, or guarantees about sale price, value, or market outcomes. We handle the construction side — the repairs and improvements that require a licensed contractor.
ParagonCA does not provide real estate advice or value guarantees.
We provide contractor evaluation, written scopes, estimates, and completed construction work. Decisions about what to repair or improve before listing are yours and your agent's to make. We do not promise increased value, faster sale, or specific buyer outcomes.
Why a licensed contractor matters for pre-listing work
Pre-listing repairs involving water damage, failed waterproofing, structural corrections, or significant remodeling require a licensed general contractor. A licensed contractor can pull permits when required, provide written scopes and estimates suitable for seller disclosure, and complete work that meets California building standards. ParagonCA (CSLB #1066959) has completed 200+ projects throughout the Central Valley and specializes in bathrooms, kitchens, tile, and water-damage reconstruction.

How it works
From property walkthrough to completed work.
Listing timelines vary. Contact us early so we can assess the scope, provide a written estimate, and schedule the work within your timeline.
Tell us what needs attention
Use the form below, call us at (209) 502-5997, or email [email protected]. Describe the property, the areas of concern, and your listing timeline. If you have photos, inspection reports, or a list of issues, send those along.
Send photos or reports if available
Photos of damaged areas, inspection reports, or a description of the issues help us understand the scope before the site visit. Use the form to attach files or describe what you are seeing.
Schedule a site evaluation when needed
For water damage, failed waterproofing, or work that requires direct assessment, we schedule a site visit. We assess the actual conditions and provide a written scope and estimate based on what we find.
Receive a written scope and estimate
We provide a written scope of work and estimate. We are clear about what is included, what is not, and what the timeline looks like. You and your agent decide what to move forward with.

Once the scope is approved, we schedule the work and complete it. We coordinate with sellers, agents, and transaction coordinators as needed and provide documentation of completed work.
