Request Received
Your request is in. A member of our team will call you within one business day to talk through your project: scope, timeline, and what it realistically costs.
Don’t take our word for it — check any of these
No mystery about what comes after this page. Here's the exact sequence from your request to a plan for your home.
Within one business day we call to learn what you need more room for, your timeline, and the budget you're working with. No sales script.
We walk your property, measure what's actually possible, and talk through design options, materials, and realistic scope before anything is promised.
You get an itemized proposal with a real timeline. No surprise change orders, no numbers that move after you sign.
Design, engineering, permits, and construction coordinated by one accountable team, so there's never finger-pointing between your designer and your contractor.
Architectural design, structural engineering, and construction all in-house. One point of contact for the whole project.
Itemized estimates, a defined change-order process, and a payment schedule you see before you sign anything.
Local permitting, hillside lots, and the mid-century Eichler quirks that trip up out-of-area contractors.
Plans engineered to current California Building Code and Title 24, with inspections scheduled at every milestone.
Weekly progress updates and a project manager who answers the phone, not a voicemail box you never hear back from.
We don't call a project done until you say it's done. That's the same guarantee we make on every job.
Every credential below is public and checkable. We'd rather you look than take our word for it.
Surety bond on file with the Contractors State License Board.
General liability coverage. Certificate available on request.
All crews and subcontractors carry workers' compensation.
Real feedback from real clients across Marin County.
Roi, Jasmine and the whole team were terrific! The project was completed on time, on budget, and all the detailing was performed to our complete satisfaction.
We had a major remodel and needed someone we could trust, and Roi was the perfect match for us. Everyone in his crew and even the subcontractors were amazing.
Roi kept the project on track with no delays throughout my 8-week remodel. They worked hard to keep the space as clean as possible, and their craftsmanship was outstanding.
The closest thing to a referral from a neighbor. Real Marin homeowners, filmed in the homes we built.
Real Marin homes, our own crews. No stock photography, no renders. Filter by room to see the kitchens, bathrooms, garage conversions, and ground-up ADUs we've built nearby.
These are the questions every homeowner should ask a contractor before signing. Here are our answers, in writing, before you ever talk to us. Ask the same seven of anyone else you're considering.
Yes. Clear Design & Build holds California contractor license #1127694, and you can check its status, bond, and complaint history yourself on the CSLB license lookup. Any contractor who hesitates to give you a license number is telling you something.
One project manager, named at the start, who stays with your project from the first walkthrough to the final punch list. You won't be routed through a call center or handed off between departments halfway through the build.
Itemized. You see labor, materials, permits, and allowances as separate lines, which is the only way to compare two bids honestly. A single lump-sum number tells you nothing about what's included, and it's where most budget surprises come from later.
A change order happens when the scope changes, either because you want something different or because we open a wall and find something nobody could have known was there. Every change order is written, priced, and signed by you before the work happens. Nothing gets added to your invoice that you haven't approved.
Payments are tied to completed milestones, not to the calendar. California law also caps what any contractor can collect as a down payment on a home improvement contract, and we work well within it. If someone asks for a large share of the total up front, treat that as a warning sign.
Yes. Every crew and subcontractor on your property carries workers' compensation, and we're happy to provide certificates on request. This matters more than most homeowners realize: if an uninsured worker is hurt on your property, the liability can land on you.
We tell you early, in plain terms, and we tell you why. Permit review and material lead times are the two variables no contractor fully controls, so we build realistic windows into the schedule rather than quoting a best case we can't hold. What we don't do is go quiet and let you find out on your own.
