"Tony and his team stuck with us though a difficult, major reconstruction. With his guidance and patience, he gave us the home of our dreams. Rare is it to find such a person these days that can deliver such quality. What we needed was a man with experience and fresh ideas. We got that in spades with Tony and his ARC team."

"Tony has a crew of professionals that worked hard, on weekends, to make this project a success. Many challenges arose while working on a house built in the 60's. Tony and his crew presented every challenge with multiple solutions and fair prices. Looking forward to more projects with ARC Construction."

"If I could give 100 stars I would! I can't say enough good things about Tony, Juan and the crew. They kept the area leading to the construction super clean each day that they left. The communication was amazing and I felt I could call Juan at anytime with questions or requests. He never seemed bothered and was always so happy to help. The work was meticulous and thoughtfully done."

"Joe and Ryan and his crew just rebuilt much of our deck after storm damage and did an outstanding job. Their attention to detail is uncommon, and they're super-responsive any time a problem pops up. Couldn't be happier with them and will use them on any future projects we have."

"I called Tony as I purchased a new home and was scared that I saw black mold in some areas. Just talking to him on the phone made me feel better about the situation, and he worked around my schedule to come inspect it ASAP. He inspected my home and could tell right away it was not problematic, and gave me advice on how to clean it up. Some might see this as a waste of time but Tony was happy to give us the advice we needed for free. I'll be calling Tony in the future when I need a service that he offers because I know he will do well."

"Our experience with ARC Construction was great. My parents have a twin home with a stucco balcony in the rear that spans both properties. The balcony developed leaks and suffered significant water damage that was starting to extend inside the house. We really needed to get it fixed before the winter rains. Tony quickly gave us a quote and was ready to start right away. He was not put off by having to deal with 2 homeowners. Juan and his crews did a fabulous job restoring the balcony. When I pointed out some minor wall damage on the interior due to the construction, they quickly repaired it and matched the paint beautifully."

"Can't say enough about our experience with ARC. We hired Tony and his company for 3 home renovations. A bathroom remod, fireplace remod and creating an enclosed laundry room inside the garage. Tony's team did excellent work, finished on-time and within the original quote which was very competitive. Project Manager Juan, took ownership of our designs and frequently offered suggestions that made them even better. The team executed the final plans perfectly. Tony stayed in close contact the entire time and ensured our complete satisfaction."

"Tony and his team were skilled, timely, and professional. Tony is also reasonable and a thinker. Rather than just doing, and having something look bad, he’ll go over what & why you are going in one direction to make sure it matches your expectations. Description of Work: My home suffered major water damage from a slab leak. 1/2 the house was ripped apart and had to be rebuilt including the kitchen, master bed/bath, living areas, etc."

"Tony and his crew came to assess the damage and install fans to dry. They had to open up walls in different areas that were beyond drying. All of the fans, while extremely annoying were placed and taped down so no tripping over cords. After listening to fans for days, we were anxious to get the repair done. Tony is meticulous with his drywall repair which we love. My husband is super picky and sees every detail. He made the process as painless as possible and repaired the walls, floorboards, etc super fast."

"The company sent out two gents, Dacota and Tony over. They were both very professional and well-mannered. They worked very quickly and left the area very clean. After cleaning the duct, they even left me with good tips on how to take care of my dryer vent and clean up my filter. Would definitely use them again"

"They didn't charge anything extra. I didn't end up using them for the job. When I made the arrangement I thought they were going to come out and tell me they could fix it up and put it back together and it might cost me a bit extra but it wasn't going to be a big deal. But when they came out I found out it was going to be quite a big deal. It seemed like a small job and I had another relationship with someone who could do the work so I went with them. Description of Work: OC Home Repair came out in September to tear up some boards to get an idea of how bad the wood rot damage was."

Description of Work: He installed the drain system and patched up a couple of things on the door. He changed it to an automatic lock for us. He changed a couple of lights for us."

Remodeling Services We Provide in Rancho Santa Margarita, CA

We cover interior and exterior work on residential properties of every size. Here is our range of services.

Bathroom Remodeling

We rip out the tub-shower combo, waterproof the pan the right way, and set tile that stays put. New fixtures, new floor, new vanity and new countertops. As a bathroom remodelling contractor, we care about the plumbing behind the wall as much as the finish in front of it.

Kitchen Remodeling

Most kitchens here sit closed off from the family room. We open them up. A full kitchen remodel with us brings custom cabinetry, quartz or granite countertops, better lighting, and a layout with real room to move. You end up with a beautiful kitchen that suits how you actually cook.

ADU Construction

Turn a garage or a corner of your lot into a rental or a suite for family. We handle the design, the permit, the build, and the final inspection.

Deck Construction

The sun sits hard on this side of the county. We use building materials that shrug it off and frame decks that stay solid for the long haul.

Damage Restoration

Slab leak, burst line, smoke, or storm. We dry it out and rebuild the drywall, floor, and paint. One crew handles the whole thing.

New Room Addition

A bedroom, a home office, or a second story when the lot allows. We match the roof line and stucco so the new square footage looks original. Good move for a growing family that likes the neighbourhood too much to leave.

Single-Family Home Construction

We build whole homes from footing to final walkthrough. Our construction services cover framing, roof, mechanical, and every finish after.

Our Remodelling Process – Step by Step

Here is how a home project runs with us, start to finish.

Free Consultation & Estimate

We walk your home, hear what bugs you about it, and talk real numbers. Free, and no sales pitch.

Custom Design & Planning

Our designers create plans you can picture. Layout, finishes, and scope of work are all on paper before anyone swings a hammer.

Material Selection

We help you pick tile, flooring, countertops, and fixtures. Cost-effective where it makes sense, premium materials where it counts.

Permits & Approvals

This part stops most homeowners cold. Rancho Santa Margarita homes usually answer to a master association plus a sub-association, so exterior work needs HOA sign-off on top of the city permit. We file both.

Construction

We mask the floors, seal the work zone, and keep the dust where it belongs. Sharp tile installation, clean plumbing, tidy framing.

Progress Updates

You hear from us at every stage. No wondering what happened this week.

Final Walkthrough

We go room by room together and list anything that needs a touch. Then we fix it so you finish happy with the results.

Clean-Up & Support

We haul it all out and leave the place spotless. Call a year later, and we still pick up.

See the Difference Our Remodelers Make

Our finished work sits in homes around Melinda Heights, Tijeras Creek, Trabuco Highlands, and Dove Canyon. Some jobs were a single room and a fresh coat of paint. Others were a whole house down to the studs. Same quality of work either way, and the same eye on every detail.

Remodeler Rancho Santa Margarita

ARC Construction – Your Remodeler in Rancho Santa Margarita, CA

Three generations of our family have built and remodelled homes in this county. Tony started ARC Construction in 1991, and his sons Matthew and Joe run jobs today. We are licensed and insured through the CSLB; we speak English and Spanish; and we know how these tracts and their HOAs work. That local knowledge is why a remodel with us finishes on time and on budget.

Signs You Need a Home Remodeling Specialist

Your house tells you when it is time. Watch for these:

  • Original cabinets that stick, sag, or smell musty

  • Cracked grout and loose tile in the shower

  • A closed kitchen that cuts you off from everyone

  • Not enough bedrooms for the family you have now

  • Popcorn ceilings and worn floor from the first build

  • Water stains near a slab or under a sink

  • A dated look that drags on your home value

Benefits of Hiring a Professional Remodeler

Doing it right the first time costs less than doing it twice.

  • Safety – We pull permits and follow California code on electrical, gas, and structural work. Nothing gets buried behind drywall that should not be there.

  • Value - Kitchen and bathroom upgrades return the most on resale in this part of the county. A smart renovation pays you back.

  • Design Help - Our experts work closely with you to use every inch of your living space. You get a plan that fits your life, not a template.

  • Lasting Work - Real craftsmanship and quality workmanship mean the job holds for decades, not a couple of seasons.

  • Peace of Mind - One licensed general contractor runs everything. You skip the headache of managing several contractors yourself.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a kitchen remodel cost in Rancho Santa Margarita?

Price comes down to size, layout changes, and the finishes you pick. Moving plumbing or taking out a wall pushes it higher than a cabinet and countertop swap. Call us and we will price your kitchen for free.

How long does a bathroom remodel take?

Two to four weeks covers most bathrooms here. A full tear-out with new plumbing runs longer than a tile and fixture update. We give you a firm schedule before we start.

Do you handle city permits and HOA approvals?

Yes, we file both for you. Rancho Santa Margarita homes usually answer to a master association plus a sub-association, so exterior work needs architectural review on top of the city permit. You never touch the paperwork.

Can you add square footage to my home?

Yes. We build room additions and second stories when the lot size, setbacks, and city rules allow it. We check what your property can support before you spend a dollar on design.

Do I have to move out during the remodel?

Most homeowners stay put. We seal off the work zone, keep one bathroom or kitchen running when we can, and clean up daily. For a whole house remodel down to the studs, moving out for a stretch usually makes more sense.
