Permits are the quiet reason projects finish. Plan-check comments, correction lists, and inspector scheduling sit with our office — the same people who wrote the scope — so nothing gets translated twice between a designer, a filing service, and the field crew.

Timeline: Most whole-home remodels run three to six months depending on scope and permit path; single-room projects move much faster. Your written estimate includes a phase-by-phase calendar, and our office updates it weekly rather than when you ask.
Getting ready: Preparing for a general-contracting project is mostly about access and decisions: clear the work areas, know where shut-offs are, and pick one household decision-maker. We handle the rest — protection, permits, deliveries, and the daily tidy that keeps the rest of the house livable.
How we price General Contracting and Home Remodeling — and stand behind it
Every General Contracting and Home Remodeling project starts with a free site visit and a written estimate: scope, line items, material allowances, and a calendar built from what we actually saw on your property — not a number guessed over the phone. The document says plainly what is included and what is not, so the only surprises are the pleasant kind. Change orders show up when you change the scope; if we overlooked something during our own walkthrough, correcting it is on us. Payment follows completed milestones rather than large up-front sums — California caps residential deposits at 10% or $1,000, and our contracts hold to that to the dollar. When the work is finished we walk it with you room by room against the written scope, close out the permit record, and leave the site clean. After move-in, one phone call reaches the same office that ran your project — the people who wrote the estimate answer the phone, not a new estimator starting from zero.

Questions we hear about general contracting and home remodeling
What does a general contractor actually do?
The general contractor owns the project: scope, budget, schedule, permits, subcontractors, and quality control. Instead of hiring a plumber, a framer, and a tile setter yourself, one contract covers all of it — and one person answers when something needs a decision.
Do you pull permits for us?
Yes. Building permits, plan check, and inspections are handled in-house on every job that needs them. You sign, we file — and we meet the inspectors so you don't have to.
Can you take over a project another contractor abandoned?
Often, yes. We start with a site assessment and a written list of what is complete, what is defective, and what is missing, then quote the path to done.
How do I get started?
Call (747) 203-9716 or email OfirConstruction@gmail.com. We schedule a free site visit anywhere in Winnetka and the west Valley, then follow with a written estimate.
