The Right Image Approach

Clarity Before
Construction

Most remodeling horror stories start the same way: a contractor who under-bids, over-promises, then vanishes mid-project. Right Image Builders was built to end that pattern.

Before we pick up a single tool, we've completed a full site assessment, produced a detailed scope document, obtained every required permit, and given you a fixed-price contract. Clarity first — construction second.

The 5-Step Process

Discovery

Free On-Site Consultation

A senior member of our team visits your home for a no-obligation consultation. We listen first — about your vision, your budget, your timeline. No sales pitch. No pressure.

Full walkthrough of the space with the owner present
Preliminary scope discussion and material direction
Honest budget range based on real LA market costs
Answer every question — timelines, permits, disruption

Typically 45–90 minutes on-site

Proposal

Detailed Scope & Fixed-Price Proposal

Within days of your consultation, we deliver a fully itemized, fixed-price proposal. Every line item accounted for. No hidden allowances, no vague "materials TBD" placeholders.

Itemized materials list with brand and model specifications
Labor breakdown by trade
Fixed total price — no change orders for in-scope work
Proposed project schedule with key milestones

3–5 business days after consultation

Permits & Planning

Permits Pulled, Design Finalized

Once you approve the proposal, we handle every permit application, building department submission, and design drawing. We manage the full permit process so you don't have to.

Architectural drawings prepared as required by scope
Permit applications submitted to appropriate LA jurisdictions
Final material and finish selections confirmed
Pre-construction site prep and protection installed

1–3 weeks depending on permit jurisdiction

Construction

Build Phase — Managed Daily

Our crew arrives on the agreed start date and works the agreed schedule. Your project lead is on-site regularly, and you have direct phone access throughout — not a middleman, not a call center.

Same core crew from start to finish
Weekly progress updates with photos
Building inspections scheduled and managed by us
Any scope questions addressed directly with your project lead

3 weeks (bath) to 12+ weeks (full remodel)

Completion

Final Walkthrough & Handover

We don't consider a project complete until you do. The final walkthrough is thorough — every fixture, every finish, every sealant line. Every punch-list item resolved before we close out.

Final city inspection passed and permit closed
Detailed punch-list walkthrough with homeowner
All punch-list items resolved before final payment
Clean job site, all debris removed
Post-completion support — we answer the phone after closeout

Common Questions

Answers Before
You Even Ask

We handle every permit. From architectural drawings to building department submissions to final inspection scheduling — it's all on us. You'll never need to step foot in a permit office or understand LA's jurisdiction patchwork.

If it's in the scope document, the price doesn't change. Change orders only occur if you request something outside the original scope, or if we uncover a hidden structural issue that couldn't have been discovered before opening walls — which we always disclose immediately and transparently.

A bathroom remodel typically runs 3–5 weeks from start date. A kitchen remodel is typically 5–8 weeks. A full home remodel or ADU construction runs 10–20+ weeks depending on scope and permit complexity. We provide a detailed schedule milestone document before construction begins.

You'll have a dedicated project lead as your primary contact from consultation through final walkthrough, with their direct number. They walk every active job site and sign off on every inspection — no call center, no rotating coordinators.

It depends on scope. For single-room remodels, most homeowners stay in the home — we seal the work zone and protect common areas. For full home remodels or multi-phase projects, we advise on a case-by-case basis. We build the schedule with your daily life in mind.
