General Contractor · Los Angeles
Full-home remodels, structural work, exterior renovations, and finish carpentry — one licensed GC, one fixed-price contract, every permit.
The Right Image Approach
Most homeowners who've hired a general contractor before have a story. The GC who managed the job from a distance while their subs ran the site. The one who was great at the sales meeting and absent during construction. The one whose fixed-price contract turned into a series of change orders that nobody explained clearly until the invoice arrived. These experiences are why so many LA homeowners are skeptical of contractors — and why we operate differently.
Right Image Builders is built around a simple idea: the owner of the company is the project manager of the project. Vladimir Svirsky — CSLB licensed, 12+ years in Los Angeles — visits every major milestone on every project we build. He doesn't manage from an office. He's on the slab during the pour, in the attic during the insulation inspection, and at the kitchen cabinet install to make sure the uppers are level. That personal accountability is the reason our reviews read the way they do.
We don't subcontract out core trades to the lowest bidder. Our in-house team handles structural framing, finish carpentry, tile, cabinetry installation, and drywall. We coordinate licensed plumbing, electrical, and HVAC subcontractors who work with us regularly — not whoever's available on short notice. The result is a project where trades show up on schedule, the quality is consistent throughout, and you don't discover problems at the end that existed from the beginning.
Every project we build is permitted. Not because we're required to tell you that, but because a permitted project protects your investment, your insurance, and your ability to sell the house cleanly. In Los Angeles, unpermitted work is a disclosure liability. We don't create those problems — we solve them.

Complete gut-and-rebuild of interior spaces — demo, framing, insulation, drywall, all finish work: kitchen, bathrooms, flooring, interior doors and hardware, trim and millwork, paint. Multiple rooms coordinated through a single schedule so trades aren't waiting on each other and your project doesn't stretch three months longer than it should.
Load-bearing wall removal and beam installation, floor joist sistering and repair, cripple wall reinforcement, seismic bolting and bracing, foundation crack repair, and new room framing for additions. We coordinate licensed structural engineering under our contract — you don't hire a structural engineer separately and then manage the handoff to us. The engineering and the execution are under one roof.
200A electrical panel upgrades and sub-panel additions, full plumbing reroutes for new layouts, HVAC replacement and zoning systems, ductwork reconfiguration, mini-split systems for additions, gas line relocation, tankless water heater installation, and smart home rough-in (structured wiring, lighting control, AV pre-wire). All MEP trades are licensed subcontractors who work with our team regularly.
Three-coat stucco application and repair, James Hardie fiber cement siding, new windows and sliding doors (Milgard, Andersen, Marvin), entry door replacement, garage door replacement, new exterior paint systems, fascia and soffit replacement, seamless gutters and downspouts, and landscaping coordination for post-construction restoration.
Custom built-ins (bookcases, window seats, mudroom lockers, entertainment centers), crown molding and base in classic and contemporary profiles, wainscoting and board-and-batten, custom fireplace surrounds, coffered and tray ceilings, closet systems, and paneled walls. Our in-house carpenters do finish work that looks like furniture — not afterthought trim.

General Contractor FAQ
We gave Right Image Builders the keys to our 1962 ranch home and asked them to bring it into the 21st century. They delivered — new kitchen, two bathrooms, hardwood floors throughout, new windows, and a structural wall removal for open concept — all under one fixed-price contract. Vladimir was personally on-site throughout. Best decision we've made as homeowners.
