Everything you'd want to ask before you hire us.

23+ years of building in Los Angeles, an A+ BBB accreditation, Houzz Top Contractor recognition, and a client services team that has won awards for one reason: we answer. We are fully licensed with the CSLB, bonded, and carry general liability and workers' compensation coverage — and we'll email you the certificates before you ever sign anything.

Yes, always. We'll connect you with homeowners whose projects match yours in size, style, and complexity — including at least one where something went wrong, so you can hear how we handled it. We'll also walk you through a completed home and an active jobsite in person.

Older LA homes hide things: dry rot, failed framing, unpermitted work, ancient plumbing. When we find it, you get photos, a written explanation, options with real numbers, and time to decide. We never do hidden work and bill for it afterward.

We put it in writing. A fixed schedule and a fixed price, with defined milestones we own. If we miss a milestone that's on us, you don't pay for it. That guarantee is part of the contract, not a slogan.

Crews arrive within a stated window and leave when they say. Floors, stairs, and finishes are protected before work begins. The site is broom-clean at the end of every day. No music that carries past your property, no smoking, no profanity, no wandering through rooms outside the scope of work.

Often, yes. We build a phased plan with dust containment, sealed work zones, protected pathways, a working kitchen or bathroom whenever possible, and quiet hours that fit your family's schedule — including nap times and work-from-home calls.

We introduce ourselves before mobilizing, share a project timeline and a direct phone number, keep parking and deliveries organized, honor local noise ordinances, and clean the street — not just the site. HPOZ and hillside neighborhoods get extra care.

A dedicated project manager, a weekly written report with photos and next steps, a live schedule you can check any time, and one phone number that always picks up. You'll never have to chase us for an update.

After pre-construction — architect coordination, real scope alignment, and actual subcontractor bids — you receive a line-item fixed price. Not a range, not a guess. You see labor, materials, allowances, contingency, and our fee clearly separated.

In Los Angeles, high-craft remodels generally start around $350–$550 per square foot, ground-up custom homes around $500–$900+, and architect-grade ADUs typically run $250K–$500K depending on size, site access, and finish level. Hillside lots, historic requirements, and structural work move those numbers. We'll give you an honest range on the first walkthrough.

Nothing changes without your written approval. Every change order shows the cost, the schedule impact, and the reason, in plain English, before work proceeds. Our target on a well-planned project is under 5% in owner-initiated changes.

Payments are tied to completed milestones — never to time passing. California law caps the deposit at $1,000 or 10% of the contract, whichever is less, and we follow it strictly. If a milestone isn't finished, it isn't invoiced.

Rarely. A low bid usually means missing scope, thin allowances, or change orders waiting to happen. We'll walk through any competing bid with you line by line and show you exactly where the differences are — even if you don't choose us.

Kitchens and baths typically run 8–16 weeks, whole-home remodels 6–12 months, ADUs 5–9 months, and ground-up custom homes 12–24 months. Permitting and historic review add time up front, and we schedule that honestly rather than promising a start date we can't hold.

Yes. We coordinate with your architect, the city, preservation boards, and HPOZ review so you're not sitting in counter lines. Historic compliance, seismic retrofits, and code upgrades behind original walls are core work for us.

A written workmanship warranty backed by a company that will still be here, plus full manufacturer warranties and a complete document handover — permits, plans, specs, and finish schedules — at closeout. When you call after move-in, we come back.

Then say so. The first consultation exists so both of us can find out. If your project isn't a fit for us, we'll tell you honestly and point you toward someone better suited. There's no pressure and no cost to find out.
