Your initial on site consultation is completely free. Ian will visit your property, listen to your goals, take measurements, and provide a transparent assessment of your project with zero high pressure sales tactics.

Not at all. We handle the entire permitting process with your local building and safety departments. We make sure your project is completely up to code before our crews begin construction.

Yes. We offer flexible financing options to help make your home renovation project a reality. During your free on site consultation, Ian can walk you through the available plans and help you find a solution that comfortably fits your budget. 

A design-build contractor manages both the architectural design and the physical construction of your project under one roof. At Sky Renovation, this means Ian oversees everything from the initial 3D renderings and permit drawings to the final installation. This eliminates the communication gaps and costly change orders that happen when a separate architect and contractor are not aligned.

It depends on the scope of work. For kitchen and bathroom remodels, most homeowners are able to stay in the home during construction, though there will be some disruption. For full home remodels or major structural additions, temporarily relocating is often more comfortable. We always discuss this during the planning phase so you can make the best decision for your family.

Yes, in most cases. Our crews are trained to keep the job site clean, contained, and as minimally disruptive as possible. We set up dust barriers, maintain clear walkways, and clean up at the end of every single workday so your home remains livable throughout the project.

California has passed several laws in recent years that make it significantly easier and faster to build an ADU on your property. Most single family homes in Los Angeles are now eligible to add at least one ADU and one Junior ADU. The city has streamlined the permitting process and reduced many of the previous setback and parking requirements. Our team is fully up to date on all current ADU regulations across Los Angeles and Orange County.

Always verify that your contractor holds a valid California CSLB license, is fully insured and bonded, and has verifiable reviews on Google, Houzz, or Yelp. Avoid contractors who pressure you to sign quickly, ask for large upfront deposits, or cannot provide a detailed written contract. At Sky Renovation, we encourage you to ask us anything — we are happy to share our license number, insurance certificates, and references before you make any decisions.
