What to ask before hiring

These questions are generic to home additions work. They are not facts about this business.

• Ask for an itemized scope: design, permits, foundation, framing, and finishes, each priced.
• Ask what the permitting timeline looks like and who handles inspections.
• Confirm how the addition ties into the existing roof, electrical, and plumbing systems.
• Ask what is included in the base price and what counts as an upgrade.
• Check the contractor's license status with CSLB before hiring.
