Planning A Project

Planning Your Kitchen, Bath, or Room Addition Project.

    Gearing up for a complete Bathroom Remodel, Kitchen Remodel, or Room Addition.  We service Riverside County Ca. , Los Angeles County, Riverside County Ca. , and Orange County Ca. This is not a simple process.  When done correctly, it includes highly coordinated efforts between designers, carefully chosen materials and efficient ordering, and the installation processes.  It is best to ensure that all materials are ready, available, on-site, and correct, before starting the project.  You want the right contractor to plan your Remodeling Project (eg: plans, permits, inspections, structural changes, windows and doors, plumbing and electrical requirements, cabinets, painting, drywall, countertops, flooring, and appliance installations ect.)  Not having the "PROS" on the job can throw the process into chaos, cause long delays and a lot more money.

    Many times Homeowners will experience these problems first hand with an unlicensed contractor or an unprofessional Remodeling Contractor.  Your normal Kitchen Remodel should be completed in 3 to 4 weeks and your average Bathroom Remodel in 2 weeks.  Your basic Room Addition should take 45 to 75 days after Permits have been issued. Architectural drawings and Plancheck will vary depending upon the city or county.   We all know someone or have heard the stories of the homeowner who worked the project themselves and wound up with 3 to 4 months on the job instead of weeks.  This of course leads to higher costs, aggravation, and tension in the household.  Knowing how much time it takes for each trade-specific professional to complete the assigned task is a key factor.
Most owners experience challenges when searching for lic. , insured, bonded and competent Designers, Plumbers, Carpenters, Electricians, Drywallers, Painters, Tile Setters, and true other professionals.  Now, finding all of these people and scheduling them is another story. 
    Ever have a "Handyman" style of Contractor who tells you he could use his friends Lic. for a fee over and above his regular price that does not cover liability to your home if he damages it, pay for hospital bills and long term disability if he or one of his workers are injured in your home, or guarantees the project for completion or quality?  The facts are, these type of ”Contractors" who by law have to have a Lic. for any project over $500.00, can only be held accountable for their  actions if you sue them in Civil Court.  They can talk the talk, but they just can not walk the walk.  There promises are not backed up, but then again, why should they if they are not held accountable?  They frequently only have a couple of photos, and are not members of the BBB, the Chamber Of Commerce, NKBA, NARI, and Building Trades Association.  These professional Remodeling organizations and Business Groups reveal the credibility of the legitimate contractor.  The word "CONTRACTOR'" means to sign a legal contract; don't waste time and money, Contract with the Pros.
