How to read this
The Contractors State License Board lists complaints it has sent for legal action, citations it has issued, and warning letters. A complaint or accusation is an allegation, not a finding. A citation is the board's finding that a rule was broken; the contractor can appeal it. Complaints closed in the contractor's favor are never listed. Most contractors have no items.

Cost and timing
All remodel jobs in Los Angeles: $9,500 to $54,000
Half of 25,409 city permits list an amount in this range. Permit amounts are often lower than what you pay.
- Kitchen remodels in Los Angeles: $10,000 to $40,000 (10,319 permits)
- Bathroom remodels in Los Angeles: $8,000 to $32,000 (14,061 permits)
- Basement remodels in Los Angeles: $50,000 to $489,000 (184 permits)
How to read this range
Contractors write a job value on the permit form, and the city uses it to set the permit fee. It is not the contract price, and it is often lower than what you pay. A quarter of the permits list less than this range, and a quarter list more. Use it to see if a quote is in the normal range.
Permit value (not a price)
Most of their recent permits list $9,000
26 of their 47 remodel permits with a value in the last 12 months list exactly that, which looks like a set figure rather than a price. What remodel jobs cost in Los Angeles.

What to ask before you hire
About Preferred Home Builders Inc
- The state lists a case on this license. A case is not a finding. Read it on the state's license page and ask the contractor about it.
- Ask whether the business held an earlier license.
- Ask for the workmanship warranty in writing: how many years, and what it covers.
- Check each certification on the maker's or group's own website. Contractors must renew them.
Worth asking any remodeling contractor
- Can you show me proof of liability insurance and your bond?
- What is in the price, and how do you price changes once work starts?
- Who will run the job day to day, and who are the subcontractors?
- Who pulls the permits, and what is the payment schedule?
