As a family business we know the value of relationships. We understand the importance of treating people fairly. We work very hard every day to bring the very best in design, manufacturing, installation and follow through to every single project. Our customers have asked us to follow them to Illinois, Hawaii, Washington and from home to home here in Southern California. If we have the opportunity to work together, you will not be disappointed. We value honesty, kindness, tolerance and peace. Let's build something great together!
"Ron is the consummate professional. His firmâ s work is stellar, the project was completed on time and on budget, he is a genuinely nice and trustworthy man, and he treats the project/home as though it is his own. For example, he and his team happened to be on site when a toilet supply line blew and started to flood. Without missing a step, he repaired the leak, cleaned up the mess, and charged a fraction of what a plumber would have charged. If I were to build a new house, and I have built many, Ron would be the one I would turn to. I literally have nothing but glowing comments for Ron and team - and that is a first for me after 40 years of building/development. Well done!!"

"We sing the contract; the contractor came and measured the concrete stairs and existing broken handrail, and we got quote sing the contracts paid deposit and they came to install it just to see that the handrail they ordered was too small. Then they went silent for 2 months. It is October and we sing contract in August, we finally got response that the contractor got busy with larger projects...This is very disrespectful and non professional behavior."

"Efrain and David are fantastic! When our contractor was suddenly unable to continue with the job, David took over with a great positive attitude. He persistently worked with the city to get the building permit, finally ending a tedious 10 month process. Crews were here working every day. Each one of them was considerate, conscientious, and demonstrated a strong work ethic. Efrain and David communicated with us most days and were always accessible to us. My ADU is adorable and just what we wanted and I am sure that many contractors could have pulled it off. The important thing about Olalde is that they truly care and honestly want us to be happy."

Detached structures generally require more investment than interior conversions due to additional foundation work, independent utility connections, and exterior construction requirements. These standalone offices typically align with addition costs, ranging from $80 to $300 per square foot depending on design complexity and finish quality. Consider additional expenses for separate heating/cooling systems, insulation requirements, and potential zoning restrictions when planning a detached workspace.
Most jurisdictions require permits for structural modifications, electrical work, plumbing installations, and HVAC alterations. Requirements vary significantly between municipalities, making consultation with local building authorities essential before beginning work. Proceeding without proper permits can result in financial penalties, construction delays, or requirements to remove non-compliant installations, potentially increasing your overall project cost substantially.
Converting existing space is typically more economical, with costs ranging from $50 to $200 per square foot compared to $80 to $300 per square foot for new additions. Room conversions avoid expenses associated with foundations, exterior walls, roofing, and additional utility connections. Your decision should consider not only immediate costs but also how repurposing existing space might affect your home's overall functionality and value proposition.
Room conversions typically require between two and six weeks, depending on the extent of modifications. Building an addition generally takes three to four months from initial planning through final inspection. Your project timeline depends on permit processing, contractor availability, material delivery schedules, and any unforeseen complications discovered during construction. Weather conditions and seasonal factors may also influence completion timelines, particularly for exterior construction phases.
Home office expenses related to business activities may qualify for tax deductions, though specific eligibility requirements apply. You'll need to maintain thorough documentation of expenses and use the space exclusively for business purposes to qualify for most deductions. Tax benefits vary based on employment status, space utilization, and current tax regulations. Consulting a qualified tax professional before making renovation decisions can help you understand potential financial advantages specific to your situation.
