Do you offer design services or work with outside designers?

How far in advance should I plan my remodeling project?
We recommend reaching out at least 3–6 months before your desired start date, especially for full-home renovations. This allows time for consultation, design, permits, and materials ordering — ensuring a smooth, delay-free build.
Do you handle permits and inspections for remodeling projects?

Do you work with city-specific building codes and permitting requirements?
Absolutely. We handle permitting and compliance with each city’s unique building codes, including Menlo Park, Redwood City, and Portola Valley.
Do you offer in-home consultations in every service area?
