Our work
Explore our remodeling projects.
Open a project to see its scope and project photographs. Before and progress images are included where available.
Permits follow the property and the scope.
The city reviewing your project determines its permit requirements. San Jose has a specific route for qualifying minor kitchen and bathroom remodels; work affecting layouts, structure, or other rooms needs the appropriate review. We discuss construction permits and inspections once the actual scope is established.
Before your project begins.
Start by sharing your project location, priorities, and any photographs you have. Adam will respond within one business day to discuss the next step. For suitable projects, we can discuss a preliminary ballpark range based on photos or video you share with Adam. This is not a final estimate or fixed price; final scope and pricing depend on a review of the project.
Can you remodel a garage without turning it into living space?
Yes. Our projects include upgraded flooring, cabinetry, painting, and a home gym while retaining garage access.
Can I combine flooring and storage upgrades?
Yes. We can define a combined scope and coordinate the work so flooring, paint, and cabinetry come together in the right sequence.
Is a garage remodel the same as an ADU conversion?
No. The garage upgrades shown here are not presented as ADU or permitted living-space conversions. Any proposed change of use needs a separate review of the property and requirements.
What affects the price of garage improvements?
Floor condition and preparation, storage cabinetry, painting, lighting, and any electrical work affect the scope. We discuss the intended use and existing conditions before preparing a proposal; a storage upgrade is not priced as a living-space conversion.
What should I prepare before work starts?
Discuss which belongings and vehicles need to move, where they will go, and how access will be maintained. Flooring preparation and coating work need a clear area; the return-to-use plan should follow the selected product and agreed construction sequence.
