Project Timeline and Scope
How long does a typical remodel take?
Timelines vary by project size and complexity.

- Bathroom remodels: 2 to 4 weeks
- Garage conversions/ADUs: 8 to 12 weeks
- Flooring installs: 1 to 3 days

Can you work while I live in my home?
Yes. We often work in occupied homes and take great care to minimize disruptions. We communicate daily so you know what to expect.
ADU and Garage Conversion Questions
Is it legal to convert a garage into an ADU?
Yes. California law supports garage conversions as ADUs, but zoning, setbacks, and Title 24 energy standards must be met. We handle all compliance and permits.
Will my ADU have a separate utility meter?
This depends on your local city’s regulations. Some allow shared utilities; others require separate meters. We help navigate this during planning.
Can I rent out my ADU?
Most cities allow ADUs to be rented out, but restrictions on short-term rentals may apply. Check with your local municipality or ask us during your consultation.
Permits and Inspections
Do you take care of permits?
Yes. We handle all permit applications, scheduling, and city inspections so you don’t have to.
Will I need an inspection for a small remodel?
In many cases, yes. Any work involving plumbing, electrical, structural changes, or window and door replacements typically requires inspection. We’ll inform you if your project qualifies.
Design and Customization
Can you help with layout or material selection?
Absolutely. We offer layout suggestions, cabinet and tile selections, paint color consultation, and more. Our goal is to create a space that fits your vision and lifestyle.
Do you offer custom designs?
Yes. We build custom cabinets, patios, and design ADU layouts tailored to each project’s space and goals.
Warranties and Support
Is your work guaranteed?
Yes. We stand by our craftsmanship and offer warranties based on project type and materials used. We’ll explain warranty coverage in detail during your estimate.
What happens if I need repairs after the job is finished?
We’re here to help even after the job is complete. If anything needs attention, just call or email us—we’ll make it right.
