Look for local, licensed professionals with proven results. Ask to see their recent projects, read reviews, and confirm they’re bonded and insured. Romano Builders delivers on every front — with a 20+ year track record.

Yes. Most kitchen and bathroom remodels require permits — especially if you’re altering plumbing, electrical, or structural layouts. We handle all permitting with the City of Santa Monica for a stress-free process.

A complete estimate includes a detailed scope of work, itemized materials, labor, project timeline, payment terms, and handling of unexpected issues. Our quotes are always transparent and clearly defined.

A standard bathroom remodel takes 3–5 weeks, while kitchens typically range from 4–8 weeks, depending on the scale. We provide a realistic timeline before work begins — and stick to it.

• • Are you licensed & insured?
  • Do you offer design assistance?
  • Who will be on-site daily?
  • Can I see before/after photos?
  • What’s your process for change orders?

In most cases, yes — especially for single-room projects. We set up containment zones and work cleanly and efficiently to minimize disruption.

A general contractor oversees the entire project and hires vetted subcontractors for specialty trades. Romano Builders keeps everything under one roof — meaning better communication, accountability, and results.

We use detailed planning, pre-order all materials, and maintain constant communication. Surprises are minimized because everything is mapped out upfront.

You can check any California contractor’s license through the CSLB website. We encourage it — and you’ll find Romano Builders fully compliant and active.

We care about design and execution. Our work blends creativity, construction, and communication — delivering a remodel experience that’s as polished as the final result.
