Upgrading electrical and plumbing may be necessary for a bathroom remodel in San Diego, especially if you’re making significant changes or if your current systems are outdated. We’ll assess your needs and ensure everything meets local codes.

Planning & Budgeting:  We start by identifying the necessary specialists (e.g., designer, architect, engineer), estimating costs, and setting a project timeline. Our project manager will guide you through the entire process, ensuring a clear scope of work and accurate estimate.

Design & Plans: While not all projects require architectural or engineering plans, we recommend an interior design process for most projects. Plans are typically needed if you’re altering or removing walls. Simple cosmetic renovations in San Diego may only need an over-the-counter building permit.

Order Finish Materials: Once the design and scope of work are finalized, it’s time to select and order finish materials. To avoid delays, we recommend ordering early, as some suppliers may have a 2-3 month backlog.

Obtain Permits: We handle all necessary permits from your local building department before work begins. Permits ensure inspections by local authorities to verify that framing, electrical, and plumbing work are done safely and up to code. Starting work without a permit can lead to fines and potential rework.

Demolition & Removal: With permits in hand, we begin demolition according to the scope of work.

Framing, Plumbing, and Electrical: After demolition, we install framing, plumbing, and electrical systems as specified in the project scope, ensuring everything meets current codes.

Finish Work: With the core work complete, we finish the project by installing insulation, drywall, flooring, tiles, painting, and appliances.

Inspections: Inspections occur throughout the project, typically after major phases like framing, plumbing, and electrical work, and again upon project completion.

Our advice, don’t try to estimate it yourself unless you’re also planning to do the work yourself. Each home renovation company works at different price points so you’ll never get a clear idea if you try to estimate the work yourself. Anyway, we offer free estimation services so why not just book a free estimate.

There are a variety of financial products available on the market from traditional HELOC loans to easy but expensive unsecured loans. If you’re doing the renovations to improve your standard of living or for other personal reasons, we recommend going with a HELOC loan through Renofi or your current mortgage broker. HELOC loans will offer you better interest rates and for longer terms. If you’re renovating your home to quickly sell it for a return on your investment, then an unsecured or personal loan through SoFi might be a good fit. (Disclaimer: consult with a professional tax or financial adviser. We are neither of those.)

Our team will acquire all the necessary permits, engineer plans, and architect plans if applicable to your project. You are more than welcome to do it yourself if you prefer to work with a specific architect/engineer or want to be more involved with the process.

The cost to acquire plans and permits are typically not included in the quotes we provide because each city building department have different pricing. That being said, when the project manager you’re connected with becomes more familiar with your project you can ask them to include the cost of permits in the quote they give you.

Not always. You will only need architectural plans or engineering plans when you’re moving or removing walls. Once your project manager is familiar with the ideas you have for your remodeling project, they will be able to tell you right away if an architect or engineer will need to get involved.
