Why should I remodel my home?
To insure the best return on one of their largest investments, millions of homeowners remodel to improve the space, upgrade kitchens and/or turn their bathrooms into spas.
Will remodeling increase the value of my home?
A nationwide statistical study has found that there is a definite correlation between certain home components (remodeled kitchens, baths, added bedrooms) and the price of the home. However, as you may already know, some remodeling projects offer more return than others. Be sure to discuss this with your contractor and your real estate agent.
Do I really need to permit my project?
Yes. Permitting makes sure that your project is being built to code. City inspections could be viewed as an insurance policy. Inspections of the work performed insure that the project is being built for your safety.
How long does it take to remodel a kitchen?
Usually it takes 2 to 3 months and is dependent upon kitchen size and details involved in the project. We can supply the customer with a 3 dimensional sketch in the planning stage as well as provide samples of cabinet wood, cabinet styles, tile, counter and flooring materials. Building custom cabinets alone can take 4 to 8 weeks.
What is the first step to building a room addition?
The blue print. Our architect can provide a blue print for you or you may prefer to work with your own architect. We look forward to meeting and working with your Architect.
Do we need to leave our home during the remodeling job?
Not necessarily. Most of our customers stay at home during the project. We try our best not to disturb the homes normal activities as much as possible.
Do you have workers compensation, insurance and a bond?
Yes. It is important for a home owner to employ a licensed contractor who has a general contractor’s license that protects you, as the home owner.
Do you have any references?
Yes. Please feel free to contact our office and ask for our contractor references in the Los Angeles area.
Do we have to get involved with the city for permits or will you provide them?
Addition Building & Design will obtain the relevant building permits as part of our service. Our representative will physically go to the appropriate city department to obtain your permit.
Will the job include electrical and plumbing or do I need to find separate contractors?
Addition Building & Design provides a full contracting service for all of the project needs so that you do not need to find separate contractors for different types of jobs.
If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us.
