Kitchens and baths are the main work.

A kitchen or bath remodel is more than the finishes you see in a photograph. It starts with demolition, and what comes out often decides what has to go back in. The plumbing and the electrical have to move when the layout moves. A wall that comes out may be a structural wall, and that changes the job. There are inspections along the way, and the rough work has to pass before the finishes go on.

The parts nobody photographs are the parts that decide whether the job goes well. The framing behind the tile, the waterproofing under the shower pan, the way the new circuit ties into the panel, the inspection that catches a problem before the drywall closes it up. That is the work, and it is the work we do.

What California law says about your deposit

On a home improvement contract in California, the down payment cannot exceed one thousand dollars or ten percent of the contract price, whichever is less. After the down payment, no payment can be more than the value of the work already completed.

A great many homeowners do not know this. Anyone asking for thirty percent up front is asking for something the law does not allow. It is one of the clearest warning signs there is.

Which building department has your address

A house in Valencia, one in Stevenson Ranch, and one in Granada Hills go to three completely different building departments. They have different portals, different fees, and different review times. That changes the timeline and the process for your job before the first nail is pulled.

What it costs

Almost nobody in this market publishes anything about price. We are not going to put a number on this page either, because a remodel price quoted sight-unseen is a guess.

What moves the number on a kitchen or bath job is concrete: whether the layout stays put or the plumbing and electrical have to move, whether a wall comes out and whether that wall is structural, the cabinets and countertops, what is found behind the walls in an older house, and the age of the house. We show exactly what drives the cost instead.

Four generations

Howard's great-grandfather, William Jess Johnson, built the first frame house in Okemah, Oklahoma. The family has built through four generations since. Howard runs the company and his son Scott works in the business with him, and the work today is the same trade it has always been: framing, foundations, the plumbing and electrical behind the walls, and the finishes that sit on top of all of it.
