How we run a job

Six steps, same order every time. The order is what keeps the budget honest and the schedule real.

  1. Walk the property

    We meet you on site, listen, and look at what the building and the city will need. You get a written scope and a budget range.

  2. Drawings

    When drawings are needed we bring in the architect and engineer, and price the design while it is being drawn.

  3. Permit

    We file with the city, handle the corrections they send back, and tell you where it stands.

  4. Price and contract

    An itemized price, a schedule and payment terms. Anything new after signing gets priced in writing first.

  5. Build

    One supervisor on your job, licensed trades, inspections in order, and a weekly update with photos.

  6. Walkthrough

    A final fix list, the city's sign-off, and a written warranty on our work.

Contracts and money

California caps the deposit on a home improvement contract and we follow it. After that, you pay as milestones finish, and each payment comes with lien releases from us and our subcontractors. We do not ask to be paid ahead of the work.

Fixed price when the design is done. A capped price when it is not quite. Open-book cost-plus if you would rather see every invoice. Here is how to pick.

Anything outside what we agreed gets written up and priced before we touch it.

Let's talk about your property.

Call, or send the address and what you want to do. We will walk it, confirm what the city allows, and send a written proposal with scope, cost and timeline.
