How We Bring Your Bathroom to Life

1. Consultation

We start with a thorough walkthrough of your property to understand your goals, budget, and the best ADU option for your lot — whether it's a detached cottage, garage conversion, or attached addition.

2. Design & Planning

Our team creates detailed architectural drawings and photorealistic 3D renderings of your new ADU, so you can visualize exactly what you're getting before a single nail is driven.

3. Material Selection

We guide you through selecting premium materials and finishes that maximize your ADU's appeal to future tenants or guests — balancing durability, style, and long-term value.

4. Construction & Build

Our skilled craftsmen handle every phase — foundation, framing, plumbing, electrical, insulation, flooring, and cabinetry — building your ADU to full Los Angeles code compliance from the ground up.

5. Final Walkthrough

We conduct a meticulous quality review of every detail before handing over the keys. Your ADU isn't complete until you're 100% satisfied and ready to rent, host, or move in.

I recently hired Right Image Builders for a kitchen remodel. Michael came out and listened to my needs, gave his own recommendations about how we should lay things out. He was honest, straightforward and clear with me about the whole project details. I’m really not sure how this type of a project could go without him. In other words, he’s amazing! The team was so professional, respectful and clean, every thing was as planned and within the timeline Michael provided us. Communication was the key, I knew exactly when I should have my light fixtures ready at home and knew exactly what’s going on in each step of the project ( compared to different contractors we worked with before who never even asked about these stuff.. ) Right image builders came the second highest bid and we can’t be more proud of choosing them. Thank you right image builders team ! And thank you Michael for making this project possible !

Vladimir is an excellent contractor. He was prompt, thorough and responsive in getting a bid to me and in completing the subsequent work. His price was very fair unlike 3 other contractors I requested bids from. He always had his crew show up on time and he made sure he was here regularly to monitor the process. He was tasked with rebuilding a retaining wall with a wooden fence on top. He made sure the drainage was proper behjnd the retaining wall. He explained all of the steps along the way. His crew was polite and hard working. They made sure I was happy with the work all along and were so helpful in selecting ring paint colors etc. I would highly recommend Right Image Builders for your job. I plan to engage them again once I can save bough money to remodel my kitchen. Ironically I had another contractor repairing broken pipes in my house right before I met Vladimir and I wish I had met him first. The other contractor was reasonably priced but did not do a good job, was not communicative. He rarely showed up when he said he would and still has not finished my punch list of clean up items. In my opinion Vladimir is a man of integrity and that is hard to find these days.

Vlad and his team couldn’t have done a better job! We got a very reasonable quote from them and their attention to detail was outstanding. They replaced our old 1950s siding with beautiful Hardie siding and everything looks great. They painted, they insulated and waterproofed everything. Everything was finished in a clean and timely fashion. We will definitely hire them for future projects.

I hired Right Image Builders For my small ADU edition in the back pool remodel. We succeeded to be on the budget and only overdo by two weeks from the completion date. I was very impressed by the company by their little details finish's details. I did hire contractors before and their finishes war far away from their promises. However Right Image Builders did above and beyond for my project.

We cannot say enough good things about Right Image Builders. From start to finish this was an outstanding experience. Our representative project manager was Michael and we want to personally say thank you Michael. You and your team did an amazing job. We are a veteran family and this project truly upgraded our life. Right Image Builders completed a full remodel for us including the kitchen bathroom flooring and everything else. When I say everything I mean everything. The house looks completely different and feels brand new. It is hard to even recognize it compared to before.

Right Image will always be my first choice when it comes to renovations. This is my second time using them. The first was for an outdoor kitchen installation and just recently we had them install a spa for us. It was an amazing experience. Watching these guys work is so fun because they are just so organized and on top of everything. We knew after our first experience with them that they would be our go-to company. I'm so glad that our second project went just as smoothly as the first. This team is excellent at the work they do. You definitely won't be disappointed. If you really care about the quality of the work that goes into your home, Right Image Builders is the best company for the job.

I was hiring Right Image for the outdoor landscaping project. The project results was fantastic. I did interview about 10 companies how ever Right image portfolio was the nicest one. Thank you RIB

They came out to offer us a quote for kitchen remodeling. We hired them since their costs were really fair and they were very professional. The entire process was completed much faster than anticipated. Throughout the entire trip, I had no issues or complaints. I would hire them again, and I intend to refer them to others.

Right Image remodeled my bathroom, and I am speechless. Vlad is so helpful and responsive, guided us throughout the entire process with help and ease. The finish product looks amazing, we couldn't be happier! Highly recommend!!!

I needed a company that was really knowledgeable about ADUs. We wanted something totally custom and so I was looking for the best of the best. I really feel like I found that with Right Image Builders. There was nothing that we asked for that they didn’t deliver on. They did such an excellent job with the entire project. Best of all, they were wonderful to have in our home and made sure everything was clean and in perfect condition when they were finished. I couldn’t have asked for anything more. Thank you so much.

"Very professional, fair prices, would highly recommend this company."

I hired RIB, for an ADU & a concrete deck around my pool. I really couldn't have chosen anyone better! Michael helped me from step one to the bottom. Not to mention he even did a few little things for free (not charging me) super nice of him and his team! Timing was absolutely perfect as when they told me they'd be done it was actually done a day before and it was perfect for my household. They honored their contract dates and charges, not an extra dollar was charged. They had no sneaky charges, everything went based on the contract we agreed on! 5 stars all the way! Made my family and I very satisfied!

we hired right image builders for a full bathroom remodel in Pasadena, and th experience was excellent from start to finish. their team was professional, communicative and very detail oriented. Michael was the project manager, he helped us with design ideas, kept the project on schedule and delivered an amazing workmanship with his crew. the bathroom came out beautiful, clean and exactly how we envisioned it. pricing was fair, everything that promised was delivered. highly recommend right image builders to anyone looking for a reliable bathroom remodeling contractor !

Came out and was able to find the issue other roofing companies couldn't find. They walked me through the whole process. I'll work with them again!

I want to thank to right image builders, They created our ADU project, from start to finish . initially we received a flyer on our door, Seems to be a little sketchy with the way how we bumped into the best company in town , but we tried our shoot with them. We checked right image builders reviews online and we found out that they have five star rating all over the web. Vladimir gave us a lot of confidence to hire Right image builders to create our $200,000 project. Vladimir and Michael team created a giant as 1200 square-foot ADU and a beautiful pool deck area. Thank you.
