In California, construction over $500 must be done by a licensed contractor. Unlicensed work means no CSLB recourse, potential insurance voidance, and complications when selling. Always verify at cslb.ca.gov.

After your call, we schedule a free site visit and deliver a detailed written estimate within 3 business days. Our contracts are fixed-price — the number you sign is the number you pay. Scope changes require a written change order you approve first.
We stop, photograph it, explain your options clearly, and get written approval before doing anything additional. No surprises.
