"I had Vertex come by the house and take care of a whole lot of things needed to be taken care of. They did some painting throughout, changed out some floors for beautiful new carpet and vinyl, added in some new lighting, replaced my old ducts, and new insulation. Everything turned out beautiful and was done in a professional timely manner. They were very helpful with us when it came to picking colors and floor selections. I put this off for a while but I'm glad we got it done now and I couldn't recommend Vertex any more. Nate was very helpful throughout the whole process. Give them a call they can help you with any of your construction needs"

I am a licensed, bonded, and insured General Contractor with an extensive background in design and construction. I do not just talk the talk, I walk the walk, having physically labored in trades ranging from tile and plumbing, to foundation and framing. To this day, there is seldom a project I will not roll up my sleeves for, be it setting lines for a home addition, or laying out complex tile patterns to be reproduced by my team. I received my Masters in Architecture (M.Arch) from UCLA, where I graduated with distinction. My commencement thesis focused on the California Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) legislation, a space that I have become a leading expert in. Building home additions and creating additional housing in the form of ADUs is my lifework: there is nothing more rewarding than delivering a finished project to a client. If you are contemplating a home addition, major renovation, or building an ADU, give me a call. I look forward to hearing from you.
"I recently hired Sklar Construction for a major renovation on my home in Culver City, and I was blown away by their service. From start to finish, they were professional, detailed, and truly cared about my project. The team was fantastic at keeping me updated every step of the way. They answered all my questions and made sure I felt comfortable with the progress. They finished the project on time, and the quality of their work was incredible. My home looks amazing, and I've gotten so many compliments on the renovation. What really stood out to me was how Sklar Construction listened to my ideas and offered great suggestions to make my vision even better. They were committed to delivering top-notch results, and it shows in every detail. I highly recommend Sklar Construction. If you need a renovation done right and want to work with a team that truly cares, go with them. You won't be disappointed!"

"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."

The 30% rule serves as a guideline suggesting that renovation costs should not exceed 30% of your home's current market value. This principle helps prevent over-investing in improvements that the market may not fully reward upon resale.
For example, if your property is valued at $200,000, keeping your renovation budget under $60,000 provides better financial returns. However, this rule should be balanced with your personal goals and how long you plan to remain in the home.
A $50,000 budget can effectively transform several spaces if carefully allocated. This amount covers a moderate kitchen refresh combined with a bathroom update, or several less complex rooms like bedrooms and living areas.
Your geographic location, material choices, and the extent of structural changes significantly impact what this budget can accomplish. Focusing on cosmetic improvements rather than major layout changes helps maximize your investment across multiple spaces.
Labor constitutes the largest expense in multi-room remodels, accounting for 40% to 70% of total costs. Kitchen and bathroom spaces demand the highest investment due to their specialized fixtures, cabinetry requirements, and necessary plumbing work.
Premium materials such as natural stone countertops, hardwood flooring, and custom cabinetry also significantly increase project costs. Strategic budgeting that balances splurges and savings helps manage these high-cost elements effectively.
Most multi-room remodeling projects require three to six months from start to completion, though complex renovations may extend longer. The process follows a necessary sequence of demolition, structural work, mechanical rough-ins, finishing, and final detailing.
Timeline variables include material availability, contractor scheduling, inspection delays, and unexpected conditions discovered during construction. Establishing clear communication with your contractor and making prompt decisions helps maintain momentum throughout the project.
Begin with foundational and structural modifications that affect multiple spaces before progressing to individual rooms. Address "wet" areas like kitchens and bathrooms next, as these involve the most complex work with plumbing and specialized installations. Complete bedrooms and living spaces last to prevent damage to newly finished areas.
This logical progression minimizes redundant work and creates at least one functional living zone throughout the renovation process. Coordinating related work across different spaces also improves efficiency and potentially reduces costs.
