"Great experience! We used Amaral Construction to paint our kitchen cabinets and install new countertops, sink, faucet, and garbage disposal. Edgar and his teams did great work, always showed up on time, and were very transparent in their work. They finished 3 days early to the quoted schedule and had less than 1% cost growth! Edgar chatted with me before making any decisions and was super responsive via email, text, and phone. I also appreciated never being pushed to add more work or increase the scope of the project. Edgar listened to our wants, gave advice, and went forward with our choices to a T. Thank you Amaral Construction!"

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!"

How far you can push a room depends on the structure you choose. A cantilevered bump-out can extend 24 inches before building codes require its own footing or foundation. Anything longer needs engineered support and a permit. Check local codes or consult with a structural professional before finalizing plans to ensure your design remains safe and compliant.
Most bump-outs are completed within one to four weeks, even with minimal electrical, plumbing, or HVAC work. Their compact size means less demolition, simpler inspections, and fewer weather-related delays compared to a full-scale addition. Your contractor can provide a more precise timeline once they have determined the scope, materials, and permit schedule, but plan on having the extra square footage ready in approximately a month.
