Frequently asked questions

How much will my job cost?

We will gather all of the facts in connection with your job and prepare a detailed, accurate, reliable, and professionally prepared estimate based upon your needs.

 

Can you give me a "Ball Park Estimate?

In order to serve you professionally, it's always best to prepare detailed, reliable estimate, as "Ball Park" estimates are neither accurate, reliable, or professional.

How long will it take to remodel my kitchen or bath?

Usually between three to five weeks depending upon the scope and description of the job.

How can I choose the right contractor for my job?

First of all, check with the California State license Board to determine if a person holds an active, valid contractor's license in good standing. If a person does not have a license, or says that they are using someone else's license; that is unlawful and may cause you problems. Check the person's references. Check with the Better Business Bureau. Do you instinctively have a good feeling about this person? Do they hold your interests at heart?

How do I avoid the "Horror Stories" I've heard?

Unfortunately, the construction and tradesmen industry has poor public relations, and there are those unscrupulous, dishonest, and unethical persons who perform shabby work, do not show up when they are supposed to, do not finish the job, and abscond with your money. You should take every precaution to check out the person's background thoroughly before giving them any money, and insist that they present a detailed agreement specifying all of the work that they promise to do, how much money it will cost, and the starting and completion date.


What makes your company different?

You will receive an honest and ethical estimate, a very fair and affordable price within your budget, reputable, quality workmanship, show up on time and complete the job professionally as promised, communicate and keep you well informed of the progress and scheduling of the job, process all your architectural design and engineering plans, Home Owner's Association application, obtain city permits, complete all required inspections.

Issues with permits

When must I obtain a building permit?
Generally, you must obtain a building permit even if the job may be small and insignificant, with the exception of interior or exterior painting, flooring, crown or baseboard molding. Kitchens, bath rooms, room additions, wall removal, loft additions, electrical, plumbing, lighting, etc ...are just a few. Exterior landscaping work does not require a permit unless there are spas, pools, fireplaces, or outdoor pizza ovens just to name a few.


When must I have building or engineering plans?
Whenever you are doing any major work which requires building permits. We offer complete professional, architectural design plans and engineering for your project at a very modest cost.
