How it works
Four steps from first call to final walk-through.
No phone ballparks and no pressure. Here's exactly what happens after you call or send the form — and who builds your project.
- 1
Free in-home estimate
Call or send the short form. We confirm the details and schedule a walk-through at a time that works for you.
- 2
Design + itemized quote
We measure, talk through finishes, and can show you a photo-real design preview. Your itemized written quote follows within 48 hours.
- 3
Contract + permits
You sign a California-compliant home improvement contract with the licensed contractor of record — license # on the contract. Permits are pulled and the build is scheduled.
- 4
Build + final walk-through
A protected, clean job site and a written schedule. We walk the finished project with you, and final payment is due on acceptance.
Who builds your project
Licensed, bonded & insured. Every project.
Remodels are built by specialized trades — tile setters, plumbers, electricians, cabinet installers, concrete crews. What matters is who's accountable for them.
Every project is built by a California-licensed, bonded and insured contractor. Their license number is on your contract before you sign — verify it anytime at cslb.ca.gov.
We stay with you from the first walk-through to the final punch list: the design, the itemized estimate, the schedule, and every question in between.
Your protections on every project
- 3-day right to cancel. BPC §7159.
- Max 10% or $1,000 down. Whichever is less.
- License # on contract. Verifiable on cslb.ca.gov.
- CSLB complaint process. California Contractors State License Board.
- Contractor's bond. California-required surety.
- Workers' comp + GL insurance. Verified before any work starts.
- Written workmanship warranty. Coverage spelled out in your contract.
Questions we hear
Real answers.
Who signs my contract?+
The licensed contractor of record for your project. Their name and California license number are on the contract before you sign, and you can verify them anytime at cslb.ca.gov.
Are the contractors licensed, bonded and insured?+
Yes. Every contractor on our projects holds an active California CSLB license, a contractor's bond, general liability insurance, and workers' compensation (or a valid exemption). We verify all of it — plus a clean CSLB record — before any work starts.
How long does the estimate take?+
The in-home walk-through takes about 45 minutes. Your itemized written estimate — materials, labor, allowances, and timeline — follows within 48 hours. No phone ballparks, no same-day pressure close.
What if something goes wrong with the work?+
You're protected by California law: BPC §7159 home improvement contract protections, the contractor's bond, and the CSLB complaint process. Every project also comes with a written workmanship warranty, and we stay involved until it's made right.
Do you offer financing?+
Yes. Financing is available on most projects through our contractor partners' lending programs, subject to credit approval. You'll see the options alongside your itemized estimate.
Is the AI design preview really free?+
Yes. The AI design preview is free, with no obligation to hire us. Many homeowners use it just to plan, get everyone in the house on the same page, or compare bids.
