About Revitalize Construction
Zak and Jake Barsuglia learned this trade at their family's construction company, starting with no skills at all. Along the way they saw everything homeowners dread in a contractor. In 2022 they started Revitalize to be the opposite.
Our story
Before there was a Revitalize, there was the family business. Zak started there as green as it gets and worked his way up through the office, the schedule, project management and the client calls. Jake came up the same way, the brother who would take anything apart once just to learn how it worked.
Between them they saw the version of this trade homeowners fear: big promises, crews that don't show, and a plan that lives only in somebody's head. A remodel is never just a number on a budget. It's a family making dinner around a torn-out kitchen, and it goes better when someone tells them the truth.
So that's the company they built. Underpromise and overdeliver, show up when we say we will, and be honest at every step. The goal is a company that's still here, with the same name on the door, a generation from now.
What we hold to
Our slogan is Listen. Communicate. Deliver. These are the habits underneath it, the ones you'll notice in the first couple of weeks.
Dates and numbers
We would rather give you a date we can beat than one that sounds good at the kitchen table. When a number or a timeline moves, you hear it from us first, with the reason, before it turns into a surprise.
On schedule
If the crew is due Tuesday at seven, the crew is there Tuesday at seven. The schedule is built around real crew and inspection timing, and the gaps get caught early, before they become a dead week at your house.
Plain answers
Damage behind a wall, a selection that won't arrive in time, a cost that changed. We tell you plainly what we found, what it means and what we would do about it, so you decide with the whole picture in front of you.
Your home
A remodel happens in the middle of your daily life. We protect what isn't being touched, leave the site clean at the end of every day, and keep you in the loop so you never wonder what's happening in your own house.
Meet the team
Five people, most of them family. You'll meet more than one of them before your project is done, so here's who they are.
The founders
Co-Founder & President
Zak started at his family's construction company with no skills at all and worked his way up to running the office, scheduling projects, project management and client relations. That is where he saw what homeowners fear in a contractor, and why he built Revitalize to be the opposite. He knows a remodel lands on a family's daily life, not just their budget, so he keeps clients in the loop and treats every family the way he would want his own treated.

Co-Founder
Jake leads operations. He checks in on every project, lines up crews and subcontractors, runs quality checkpoints and holds the cleanliness standard daily. He handles inspections, permits and mobilization, and catches scheduling gaps before they become problems. He's the hands-on brother: give him something unfamiliar and he'll take it apart once to learn how it works. When living through a remodel gets overwhelming, Jake is the calm voice who walks you through it.

The team
Executive Administrator
Rachel keeps Revitalize running behind the scenes: admin, HR, payroll, accounts payable, and the client and vendor email that keeps every project moving. She also builds our relationships with interior designers and architects. Before Revitalize she was the office manager at a civil engineering firm, and it shows in how she runs ours. She's analytical and thorough, and she never does anything halfway.

Sales & Client Relations
Lisa is often the first person you'll talk to. She brings years of sales experience in the industry, plus the perspective of a former business owner. She connects with new clients, guides them through the process and makes sure they feel taken care of from first call to final walkthrough. Outgoing and easy to talk to, she genuinely cares about the people behind every project.

Lead Foreman
Andrew has been with Revitalize since day one. Technically he's Zak and Jake's stepbrother; really, he's their brother. He runs the site work: setup, mobilization, demo, and getting materials to the trades. Before Revitalize he worked in the Bay Area on multi-family re-siding and deck repair, with a focus on dry rot and structural work, the problems hiding behind old siding.

Rooted here
Four of us grew up in Carmichael, a few miles from the ranch homes we remodel now, and most of us still live between Rocklin and Granite Bay. The neighborhood you call us about is usually one we've known our whole lives.

Questions
The things most people want settled about who we are before the first conversation. Anything else, ask us directly.
Our own crew runs your job site. Andrew, our lead foreman, handles setup, demo and getting materials to the trades. Licensed specialty trades handle the work that needs their license, and Jake lines them up and checks their work at every stage.
Usually Lisa first: she walks you through how a project with us works. Zak keeps you in the loop once it's underway, Jake is your person when something on site needs explaining, and Andrew is the one you'll see at the house most days.
Yes. We hold California contractor license #1099913 with the Contractor State License Board, and we're fully insured. You can look the license up yourself on the board's website before we ever meet, which we'd encourage with any contractor you're considering.
We're headquartered in Roseville and build across eight markets: Carmichael, East Sacramento, El Dorado Hills, Fair Oaks, Folsom, Granite Bay, Loomis and Roseville. That covers parts of Placer, Sacramento and El Dorado counties. If your address isn't on the list, call and ask before you rule us out.
Kitchen and bathroom remodels, multi-room home remodels, room additions, home accessibility modifications, and insurance reconstruction after a loss. If you're not sure your project fits, describe it on a call and we'll tell you honestly whether we're the right builder for it.
Yes. We're a Regional Center Approved Vendor across 7 Northern California counties. When funding is in play for an accessibility modification, like a curbless walk-in shower or a ramp, we work within that process alongside your family and your case manager.

The porch, the kitchen, the full remodel — what matters is how it felt to work with us from first walk-through to final punch list. Here's what Sacramento-area homeowners have told us.

Tell us what isn’t working. We’ll come out, look at the house, and send a scope and ballpark within a week. If it isn’t a fit, that’s an honest answer we’re both better off with.
