“Royalty Build and Design makes you feel like royalty! My wife and I had a tub to shower conversion and worked with Lavi as our project manager. We were both impressed with his response time in answering questions and addressing any issues.”

Before you start
The Three Questions Every Homeowner Asks First
What will it cost?
It depends on the size of the space, the layout and the finishes you choose. We look at it together on a free in-home visit, and you see the scope and the price in writing before you sign anything.
How long will it take?
A bathroom takes weeks; a whole home or an addition takes months. We talk through the timing for your project at the free visit, and one point of contact keeps you updated as it moves.
Do we need permits?
Most remodels do, and every addition and ADU does. We prepare the drawings, file the permits and handle the inspections, so you never stand at the permit counter yourself.
