"In 2021, during the pandemic, Charles Taylor and company went the extra mile for my project and to communicate. He designed and hired the contractors for a beautiful custom renovation of my tiny house. His general contractor, Christian James (James Gang Construction), did extremely professional work. He did a full wall of tiling in my guest bath, floor to ceiling tile in my shower, and two kitchen walls . Charles redesigned my master bedroom layout. Offered several ideas. He hired the contractors that: painted my house inside and out, replaced the floors with quality vinyl planks, added tile, redid my ceiling lighting, added lights for the closets in both bedrooms, added a refrigerator nook, replaced my kitchen counter with beautiful white quartz, replaced all my faucets with Delta faucets in matching finish, chose and installed new window treatments, added a pocket door, replaced the picket fence outside with high quality redwood, painted all kitchen cabinetry, replaced toilets, vanities, kitchen counters and sink . Christian James built and finished two shelves in the kitchen. All of this was done with a I mind to cost, getting deals for the tile, planks, fence, pocket door and more. I canâ t say enough about Charles Taylor Home."

"I had a terrible experience working with Kent. I hired him to prepare and submit plans for an ADU, with a contract that clearly outlined progress payments based on milestones, with the final payment due once I received approved plans from the city. However, once the plans were submitted, Kent completely disappeared and failed to complete the process. Despite multiple attempts to reach him over the years, he has never responded. At this point, my only option is to pursue small claims court. I strongly advise anyone considering his services to stay away. This was an incredibly frustrating and disappointing experience."

Building design services FAQs

Most municipalities require a building permit before you put up a pool house. Rules and fees vary widely depending on where you live and the local regulations in your area. Check with your local building department or general contractor early on in your pool house project, so permit costs and timelines don’t catch you off guard.

If you’re building a custom pool house, you can expect the entire process to take two to three months from the design phase to the end of construction, or even as much as a year for very large or complex pool houses. If you’re installing a prefabricated kit or shed, the process is much faster, averaging one to three days.

A pool house is generally sized between 100 square feet and 800 square feet, which means its dimensions directly reflect its intended functionality. A compact pool house, measuring 100 to 150 square feet, serves as an efficient storage or utility space, while a pool house of 300 square feet or more offers a comfortable room for changing, relaxation, and socializing. The size you choose depends on the intended use and design of your outdoor space, ensuring that the structure meets your lifestyle needs.

The common types of pool houses include guesthouses, standard pool houses, and sheds. A guesthouse is a small lodge adjacent to the primary home that provides overnight accommodations with essential amenities. A standard pool house is built near the pool to offer storage, changing facilities, and a relaxation zone. A shed is a simple structure designed for storing pool equipment and garden tools. Each type serves a distinct purpose and enhances your outdoor living experience.
