Home remodeling that also cuts your energy bill.
Majestic Construction & Design is a licensed contractor with 35 years of hands-on experience in Northern California. We size each job from the framing out. A standard 2×4 wall is 3.5 inches deep, so a bathroom or kitchen remodel that opens the wall can also take insulation.
Every project gets close attention from the owner. Estimates are written, our own crew does the work, and the result follows the Title 24 standards that apply.
- Our own licensed crew, with no subcontracted sales funnel
- Remodels and energy upgrades planned together
- Help with financing and incentive paperwork
A 2×4 wall cavity is 3.5 inches deep, enough for insulation and air sealing once the drywall is off. Because the crew is already on site, we point out which energy upgrades fit the work you planned.
Four programs come up on almost every energy-efficient project. Here is what each one does, and which of our upgrades it can apply to.
PACE Financing
PACE repays qualifying upgrades through your property tax bill, usually in two installments a year, instead of a monthly loan. It is financing, not a grant, and eligibility varies by county and provider.
Can apply to
GoGreen Home Financing
California-backed financing for eligible upgrades like HVAC, insulation, electrical and certain solar-plus-battery projects. Some income-qualified households may get reduced rates.
Can apply to
TECH Clean California & HEEHRA
Rebate programs for qualifying heat pump space and water heating. Availability depends on program funding and household eligibility.
Can apply to
California Title 24
Title 24 is California’s building energy code. Cool roofs, insulation, windows and HVAC can help a renovation meet the parts that apply to it. Attic insulation targets start near R-30 and run higher in colder zones.
Can apply to
* Financing options and incentives may be available for qualifying homeowners. Not every project qualifies, and approval depends on the lender or program.
Home remodeling, energy upgrade or both: one team, one schedule, one point of contact.
Free home assessment
We look at the space you want to change, plus the roof, attic, windows and equipment. Then we talk through your goals, bills and comfort problems.
Plan & financing
You get a written scope, a clear price and the financing or incentive options that may apply to your home remodeling.
Licensed installation
Our own crew pulls permits and builds to the Title 24 standards that apply. Tile thinset cures about 24 hours before grout, and concrete reaches design strength at 28 days, so we schedule trades around those waits.
Walkthrough
We walk the finished home remodeling work with you and check that each system runs the way it should.

Which energy upgrades can you add to a home remodeling job?
We install cool roofs and reflective coatings, solar panels, battery storage, energy-efficient windows and doors, cool wall coatings, heat pump HVAC, heat pump water heaters, attic insulation, and whole-home retrofits that combine them. During a remodel the framing is already exposed, so adding insulation and air sealing is a small extra step. A standard 2x4 wall cavity is 3.5 inches deep, which is enough for batt insulation once the drywall is off. Windows and roofing also fit well into a remodel schedule. At the free visit we list which upgrades suit your project, then put them in the written scope with a price.
Do you handle kitchens, baths and full home remodeling?
Yes. Energy upgrades sit alongside our remodeling work, which covers kitchens, bathrooms, roofing, flooring, painting, landscaping and more. One crew plans the whole job, so the trades do not undo each other's work. A kitchen is a good example. The work triangle between sink, stove and refrigerator should total 26 feet or less, so we check the layout against that number before cabinets are chosen. Bathrooms get the same treatment, with waterproofing planned before tile. Tell us the rooms you want changed at the free visit, and we will explain the order, the permits and how the work fits together.
Can I finance a home remodeling or energy project?
Financing options such as PACE and GoGreen Home may be available for qualifying homeowners and projects. PACE repays qualifying upgrades through your property tax bill, usually in two installments a year, instead of a monthly loan payment. Eligibility depends on your property, location and the provider, and not every project qualifies. Remodeling that has no energy component, such as a new kitchen layout, usually needs a different loan type. We walk through what may apply before any work starts, and the written scope shows the project cost separately from the financing terms so you can compare offers from each provider.
Is PACE a government grant?
No. PACE is financing, not free money. The provider pays for qualifying upgrades up front, and you repay the amount through an assessment on your property tax bill, usually in two installments a year. Because the assessment attaches to the property, it can come up when you sell or refinance, so read the terms and the interest rate before signing. Terms differ by county and by provider, and some homes do not qualify. We can explain how PACE works for the upgrades you are considering, but the provider makes the approval decision. Rebates such as TECH Clean California are separate programs with their own rules.
Which upgrade should I do first?
Usually the envelope comes first: attic insulation, air sealing, the roof and windows. Equipment like HVAC and solar follows. A tighter house loses less heat, so it needs a smaller system, and a smaller system costs less to buy and run. Attic insulation is a good starting point because most of a home's heat moves through the ceiling. Many California codes call for at least R-30 in the attic, which is roughly 10 to 12 inches of fiberglass. If your roof is near the end of its life, a cool roof goes ahead of solar. Your free estimate includes a recommended order for your house.
Do your installs meet California Title 24?
We plan and install to the Title 24 requirements that apply to your project, and we pull the permits the work needs. Title 24 is California's building energy code, and it covers insulation levels, window performance, cool roof ratings and heating and cooling equipment. For example, many climate zones set a maximum window U-factor near 0.30, so we check the label before we order glass. Requirements depend on what you are changing, so a kitchen remodel and a whole-home retrofit are treated differently. We explain which rules apply during the assessment, and the written scope lists the permits and any inspections before work begins.
Where do you work, and who will I speak with?
Our offices are at 570 5th St in Lincoln and 1950 Franklin in Oakland, and we work across Northern California. The owner is a licensed contractor with 35 years of hands-on experience, and every project gets that personal attention. You will have one point of contact from the first visit to the final walkthrough. Distance matters for scheduling, because a crew that travels far loses working hours, so tell us your ZIP code in the estimate form and we will confirm that we cover your area. Call 310-994-9177 or send the form, and we will arrange a visit.
What does the free home assessment cover?
We look at the room or space you want to change, plus the roof, attic, windows and equipment. Then we ask about your goals, your utility bills and any comfort problems, such as an upstairs bedroom that runs hot. In the attic we check insulation depth, because a home with much less than R-30, roughly 10 to 12 inches of fiberglass, is losing heat it does not need to lose. We also note the age of the roof, the water heater and the HVAC system. Afterward you receive a written scope and price, plus the financing or incentive options that may apply. The visit is free and carries no obligation.
How do you schedule trades during a home remodeling project?
We schedule around the waiting times that materials need. Tile thinset cures for about 24 hours before grout goes on. New concrete reaches its design strength at around 28 days, though it can take light foot traffic much sooner. Paint needs its recoat window, and roofing coatings need dry weather. Because one crew plans the work, we line up demolition, framing, electrical, insulation and finishes in a sequence that avoids reopening finished surfaces. You get one schedule and one point of contact. Total duration depends on the scope and on material lead times, so we put dates in the written scope after the assessment.
A home remodeling job, a lower bill, or both. We come out, look at the space, roof, attic and equipment, and tell you what is worth doing and what is not.
