The honest answers we give every homeowner.
Everything you wanted to ask before signing a remodeling contract, pricing, timelines, the 3D planning process, and how construction works.
Getting Started
01How long does a full backyard remodel take?
Most full backyard builds run 10-16 weeks of construction once permits and design are locked. Smaller scopes like pavers or outdoor kitchens wrap in 3-6 weeks. Our own crews self-perform the work, so we control the schedule and give you a real timeline before you sign anything.
02Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Remodel Your Vibe is fully licensed (LIC #1119054), bonded, and carries general liability and workers' compensation insurance. We will share all coverage on request.
03How do you coordinate design and construction?
One team owns it all. Your designer, your project manager, and our own field crews work through a single process, so planning, permits, materials, and construction never get lost in a handoff.
3D Planning & Design
01How does the Remodel Your Vibe Design Studio work?
The Design Studio offers two connected planning tools. The free Design Preview lets you explore styles and inspiration on a photo of your home. The paid Luxury 3D Design & Planning Experience is a collaborative process with our project manager and design team, including on-site consultation, material direction, layout planning, day and evening renderings, and a cinematic walkthrough when the scope calls for it.
02What's the difference between the Free Design Preview and the Premium 3D Design Experience?
The Free Design Preview is a quick inspiration tool to explore design styles on a photo of your home. It's ideal for getting ideas. Our Premium 3D Design Experience is a collaborative service where you work in-person with your project manager and design team for material direction, detailed 3D renderings (day and evening scenes), video walkthroughs, and revision rounds. Pricing is customized based on project scope and complexity.
03Is the 3D Planning service architectural drafting?
No, it's luxury 3D visualization and design-build preparation. When your project moves to construction, we coordinate licensed architects, engineers, and permitting all under the Remodel Your Vibe roof.
04Can I request changes to the 3D renderings?
Absolutely. The 3D Planning service is collaborative. We refine layouts, materials, and renderings with you across planning sessions until the vision feels right.
Pricing & Financing
01How much do projects typically cost?
Outdoor kitchens often start around $25k, pools and spas around $90k, and full backyard transformations run from $150k to $500k and up depending on scope. You get transparent, line-item pricing with your proposal. No vague estimates.
02Do you offer financing?
Yes. We work with several lenders on flexible monthly payment plans, including low and zero-down options for qualified homeowners. Ask us during your consultation.
Timelines & Logistics
01What areas do you serve?
Most of Southern California: Los Angeles, Orange County, Ventura, the San Fernando Valley, Conejo Valley, the Inland Empire, and the coast from Malibu to Newport. Not sure if we cover your zip? Just ask.
02Will I be without a kitchen / bathroom for the whole project?
We sequence interior remodels to minimize disruption, temporary kitchens, phased bathroom work, and dust-controlled jobsites. We'll walk through the schedule before signing so there are zero surprises.
03How do permits work in my city?
We've permitted projects in nearly every Southern California city. Our team handles plan submittals, plan checks, corrections, and inspections so you don't have to drive to City Hall.
