What makes you different from other Los Angeles building contractors?

We're not just another construction company in Los Angeles. We're a strategic partner with a team of people who genuinely care, who take the time to remember your name, and who see you as, well, you – not just another project. Through a combination of accurate pricing, limited project capacity, and effortless communication, our projects run like clockwork.

How do I know you're the right fit for my project?

Great question. We believe in honest conversations upfront. During our initial consultation, we'll discuss your vision, timeline, and budget openly. If we're not the right fit, we'll tell you – and help you find someone who is.

Are you licensed and insured?

Absolutely. We're a B licensed General Contractor, for your peace of mind, for the security of your home, and for our reputation.

How does your pricing work?

No hidden fees – ever. Instead, all of our projects start with a transparent price conversation, long before you sign the dotted line. Here, you’re invited to discuss potential features, make tweaks, and ensure our price point aligns with yours.

Can you work within my budget?

While we can’t promise to meet every budget for every project, we can promise to hand-deliver honest guidance, options for a range of price points, and a promise to make every cent of your budget go further.

Do you handle permits and city approvals?

Yes. We’ll put your paperwork into safe and capable hands– our own. No matter where you are in West Los Angeles, we understand local building codes like the back of our hands, handling all the behind-the-scenes so you can focus on the exciting parts: paint swatching and tile shopping.

How long do projects typically take?

Timelines vary by scope, but our focused approach typically delivers results 20-30% faster than industry standards. From a matter of weeks for bathroom renovations to a matter of months for home additions, we’ll weave your ideal deadline through our project timeline.

What if my project runs over schedule?

We build realistic timelines with built-in contingencies. If unexpected issues arise, we communicate immediately and work together on solutions. Our quality checkpoints help prevent delays, and transparency keeps you informed throughout.

How do you minimize disruption to our daily routine?

We understand that your home is your sanctuary – the place where you come to relax after a long day; something that simply can’t be put on hold. By scheduling our work around your family's needs, protecting your living spaces, and keeping lines of communication open, we’ll keep disruption to a minimum.

How do you ensure quality work?

Quality is built into our process, from our premium materials and experienced craftsmen to our regular walkthroughs. Plus, our limited project capacity means your project gets our complete attention and expertise.

What kind of communication should I expect?

You’ll see and hear from us daily, and receive weekly walkthroughs of the project. We strive for meaningful conversations that walk you through current phases and next steps – not information overload. We provide regular progress reports, immediate notification of any changes, and direct access to your dedicated project manager. You'll always know what's happening without feeling overwhelmed.

What if I want to make changes during construction?

Changes happen – and that’s no problem. The cost and timeline extension of any modifications will be clearly outlined before implementation. After all, we want you to love the final result, so we welcome your input throughout the process.

What kind of warranty do you provide?

Each project comes with a comprehensive warranty that reflects our confidence in our craftsmanship. Coverage varies by project scope, but we stand behind every project, so you can stand in it – safely.

Do you provide ongoing support after completion?

Absolutely. Our relationship doesn't end when the project does. We're here for questions, minor adjustments, and ongoing support, big or small.
