Whole Home Renovation Sacramento, CA
Modern Revival Renovation
Project Overview
Build Type: Whole Home Renovation
Completion: 2025
Scope: Kitchen, bathroom, and flooring renovation; structural and lighting updates; modernized finishes
The client’s vision was a full home renovation that would breathe new life into their 1980s house. Their goal: a sleek, modern transformation—so that stepping inside would feel like walking into a brand-new build. Tankersley Build Co. brought that vision to life with a full drywall reskim, new hardwood flooring, updated stair railings, and modern lighting throughout.
The transformation included all-new kitchen and bathroom cabinetry, a reimagined kitchen layout with new appliances and a walk-in pantry, as well as refreshed built-ins in the dining room and office. A complete primary bathroom makeover, including a reconfigured closet for improved storage and flow, delivered the bright, contemporary atmosphere the clients had hoped for.
Client Aspirations
The homeowners wanted to make their 1980s home feel brand new—fresh, functional, and filled with character. They sought a layout that worked for entertaining, a spa-like bathroom and closet for daily comfort, and a design aesthetic that blended modern simplicity with warmth and practicality.
Transformation Highlights

Coordinated design updates ensured modern appeal while maintaining constructability and budget discipline.
02.
Walls and ceilings were reskimmed to remove dated texture, enhancing smooth, clean finishes.

The kitchen’s layout was completely reimagined—removing a restrictive bar and wing wall, adding a larger island for prep and seating, and improving overall flow.

05.
Replaced dark 1980s finishes with a brighter palette, updated lighting, and layered materials for texture and depth.
The REsult
The once dated home now feels open, inviting, and distinctly modern. Clean lines, custom cabinetry, and thoughtfully placed lighting bring rhythm and balance to every space. The redesigned kitchen and bathrooms not only function beautifully but serve as artful focal points—each reflecting Tankersley’s signature blend of craftsmanship and timeless design.
