Common questions
Frequently asked
The questions we hear most often, answered plainly. If your question is not here, call us and we will answer it the same way.
Do you handle both small jobs and large projects?
Yes. We take on everything from a single repair or one room to a whole home renovation and commercial work. It is the same team and the same standard either way, and we do not treat a smaller project as less important than a larger one.
Do you provide free quotes?
Yes. Every project starts with a free consultation and an honest, detailed written quote, so you know the scope and the price before any work begins. There is no pressure and no obligation.
Will one team handle my whole project?
Yes. We manage all the trades under one schedule and one point of contact, so you are not left coordinating separate contractors yourself. Rough in inspections, finish work, and every trade in between run on the same schedule we set with you.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Real Deal Builders is a licensed general contractor and carries the insurance a general contractor should carry. We can provide our license number and insurance certificates on request.
Do you handle both residential and commercial work?
Yes. On the residential side that means kitchen and bathroom remodels, home additions and ADUs, tile work, flooring, painting, decks, drywall, and full renovations. On the commercial side we handle build outs, tenant improvements, and repairs for local businesses. The approach is the same: a clear written scope, honest pricing, and trades managed in the right order.
How does the process work from first call to project start?
You call or use the contact page, we schedule a free walk of the project, we put together a detailed written quote, and once you approve it we set a start date. For most projects we can be on site within a couple of weeks depending on the current schedule and any permit requirements.
What areas do you serve?
Our home base is Santa Clarita, and we serve the Santa Clarita Valley, the San Fernando Valley, the Antelope Valley, the Conejo Valley, and Ventura County. Check the locations page to see if your city has a dedicated page, or call us and ask.
What payment schedule do you use?
We use a milestone based payment schedule tied to real progress on the job rather than a large deposit up front. The exact schedule is spelled out in the contract along with the scope, so nothing about how the project is paid is ambiguous once we begin.
Do you offer any warranty on your work?
Yes. We stand behind the work we install. If something we built is not right, we come back and make it right. Manufacturer warranties on fixtures, cabinets, appliances, and materials pass through to you separately.
What sets Real Deal Builders apart from other contractors?
We are named for what we try to be: the real deal. That means a scope in writing before demolition, honest pricing, work sequenced in the right order, and the hidden work behind the walls held to the same standard as the finishes you see. We would rather quote you the real number up front and earn the next project than win this one on a number we cannot hold.
