How We Work

Five Steps.
Zero Surprises.

Our proven process has delivered 57+ permitted projects across Greater Los Angeles — on time, on budget, exactly as designed.

The Right Image Approach

Clarity Before
Construction

Most remodeling horror stories start the same way: a contractor who under-bids, over-promises, then vanishes mid-project. Right Image Builders was built to end that pattern.

Before we pick up a single tool, we've completed a full site assessment, produced a detailed scope document, obtained every required permit, and given you a fixed-price contract. Clarity first — construction second.

The 5-Step Process

01

Discovery

Free On-Site Consultation

Vladimir personally visits your home for a no-obligation consultation. We listen first — about your vision, your budget, your timeline. No sales pitch. No pressure.

  • Full walkthrough of the space with the owner present
  • Preliminary scope discussion and material direction
  • Honest budget range based on real LA market costs
  • Answer every question — timelines, permits, disruption
Typically 45–90 minutes on-site
02

Proposal

Detailed Scope & Fixed-Price Proposal

Within days of your consultation, we deliver a fully itemized, fixed-price proposal. Every line item accounted for. No hidden allowances, no vague "materials TBD" placeholders.

  • Itemized materials list with brand and model specifications
  • Labor breakdown by trade
  • Fixed total price — no change orders for in-scope work
  • Proposed project schedule with key milestones
3–5 business days after consultation
03

Permits & Planning

Permits Pulled, Design Finalized

Once you approve the proposal, we handle every permit application, building department submission, and design drawing. We manage the full permit process so you don't have to.

  • Architectural drawings prepared as required by scope
  • Permit applications submitted to appropriate LA jurisdictions
  • Final material and finish selections confirmed
  • Pre-construction site prep and protection installed
1–3 weeks depending on permit jurisdiction
04

Construction

Build Phase — Managed Daily

Our crew arrives on the agreed start date and works the agreed schedule. Vladimir is on-site regularly, and you have direct phone access throughout — not a middleman, not a call center.

  • Same core crew from start to finish
  • Weekly progress updates with photos
  • Building inspections scheduled and managed by us
  • Any scope questions addressed directly with Vladimir
3 weeks (bath) to 12+ weeks (full remodel)
05

Completion

Final Walkthrough & Handover

We don't consider a project complete until you do. The final walkthrough is thorough — every fixture, every finish, every sealant line. Every punch-list item resolved before we close out.

  • Final city inspection passed and permit closed
  • Detailed punch-list walkthrough with homeowner
  • All punch-list items resolved before final payment
  • Clean job site, all debris removed
  • Post-completion support — we answer the phone after closeout
Final walkthrough typically 2–3 hours

Common Questions

Answers Before
You Even Ask

Do you handle the permits yourselves, or is that on me?+
We handle every permit. From architectural drawings to building department submissions to final inspection scheduling — it's all on us. You'll never need to step foot in a permit office or understand LA's jurisdiction patchwork.
What does "fixed-price" actually mean? Can prices change?+
If it's in the scope document, the price doesn't change. Change orders only occur if you request something outside the original scope, or if we uncover a hidden structural issue that couldn't have been discovered before opening walls — which we always disclose immediately and transparently.
How long does a typical kitchen or bathroom remodel take?+
A bathroom remodel typically runs 3–5 weeks from start date. A kitchen remodel is typically 5–8 weeks. A full home remodel or ADU construction runs 10–20+ weeks depending on scope and permit complexity. We provide a detailed schedule milestone document before construction begins.
Will I have a direct line to Vladimir, or am I dealing with assistants?+
Vladimir is your primary contact from consultation through final walkthrough. You'll have his direct number. He personally walks every active job site and signs off on every inspection. You're dealing with the owner of the company, every time.
Do I need to vacate my home during construction?+
It depends on scope. For single-room remodels, most homeowners stay in the home — we seal the work zone and protect common areas. For full home remodels or multi-phase projects, we advise on a case-by-case basis. We build the schedule with your daily life in mind.
