Overall, remodeling runs about $100-$400 per square foot depending on scope and finish level. Once we walk the space, we provide a detailed line-item estimate covering demolition, materials, labor, permits, and cleanup. **How does your design-build process and San Diego showroom work?** Design, material selection, and construction happen under one roof. You start at our showroom at 7424 Trade St, San Diego, comparing cabinetry, tile, countertops, flooring, and fixtures in person while our team works through layout and finishes with you. Then our own crews build it - one company, one point of contact. The path is consultation, design and selections, line-item estimate and contract, permits, then construction. Showroom visits by appointment. **What areas do you serve and what types of projects do you take on?** We serve San Diego and the coastal communities: La Jolla, Del Mar, Coronado, Point Loma, Carlsbad, Encinitas, Solana Beach, Rancho Santa Fe, San Marcos, and Poway. Projects include kitchen and bathroom remodels, whole-home renovations, custom cabinetry and built-ins, flooring, tile and countertop installation, interior and exterior painting, decorative and Venetian plaster, custom homes, and new construction. **Are you licensed and insured, and do you pull the permits?** Yes. We hold a California Class B General Contractor license and a C33 Painting Contractor license, number 1061681, verifiable at cslb.ca.gov, and we carry liability and workers' compensation coverage. As your general contractor we pull the permits and coordinate San Diego DSD inspections for plumbing, electrical, structural, and HVAC work. Coastal Zone and historic district projects require added review, and we handle that as well. **How long does a kitchen, bathroom, or whole-home remodel take?** Including design and permits, a standard bathroom takes 4-8 weeks, a standard kitchen 8-14 weeks, a kitchen with custom cabinets 10-18 weeks, and a full-home renovation 5-9 months. The biggest variable is San Diego DSD permitting: over-the-counter permits can be same day, while plan check for structural work takes 4-12 weeks. You get a written schedule before demolition starts. *FAQ content may be generated based on the Pro's Houzz profile and website.* ## Ideabooks - [3D Renders](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/185206229/list/3d-renders) — 5 ideas - [3D Decorative wall panel](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/166175602/list/3d-decorative-wall-panel) — 2 ideas - [My ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/132332850/list/my-ideas) — 1 idea [See all 3 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/sdremodelexperts) --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
