Is the consultation free?
Yes. We come to your home, look at the space and talk through scope and budget before we put together an estimate.
What kinds of projects do you take on?
Kitchen, bathroom and whole-home remodels, plus room additions and ADUs, decks and patios, garage conversions, flooring and water or fire damage repairs. We are not a handyman service, so we don’t take small repairs or one-trade jobs.
What does a remodel usually cost?
Most of our kitchen remodels run $25,000 to $60,000. Most of our bathroom remodels run $15,000 to $50,000. Whole-home remodels usually run $200,000 to $500,000. Your consultation gives you a number for your actual project.
How long does a typical remodel take?
It depends on the scope. Smaller remodels may take a few weeks, while larger projects can run two to six months. You get a clear timeline with your estimate.
Do I need a permit?
Most remodels need permits. We handle permit coordination and local code compliance on your behalf.
Can I stay in my home during the remodel?
In many cases, yes. We plan work zones to keep disruption down. For bigger projects, we can talk through temporary arrangements.
Do you help with design?
Yes. We help with layout planning, material selection and finish recommendations, and we can supply the materials.
Do you offer a warranty?
Yes. We stand behind our workmanship with a warranty on completed work. The details are in your proposal.
Are you licensed and insured?

What is an ADU?
An accessory dwelling unit is a second, self-contained home on the same lot: a backyard cottage, an addition or a converted garage. Our post on what an ADU is covers the types and why they are popular in the Bay Area.
Did California change the ADU rules?
Yes, the rules keep changing. Our post on California’s 2026 ADU law changes covers what homeowners should know before they plan one.
Does my deck need to meet wildfire rules?
Depending on where you live in Marin, it may. Our post on wildfire hardening and your deck covers what to check before an exterior remodel.
Should I repair my deck or replace it?
It depends on the framing and the connection to the house, not just the boards. We look at both during the consultation and tell you which makes sense.
