Frequently Asked Questions
Does Richard General Contracting handle permits?
The company says it handles permit drawings, submittals and inspections.
How long does an ADU project take?
The company estimates roughly six to nine months from start to finish, with much of the early period spent on paperwork rather than construction.
How long do patio covers or pergolas take?
After permits are in hand and materials are on site, most freestanding pavilions and attached patio covers take two to four weeks. The company estimates about a week more if the project needs electrical work, lighting or a built-in barbecue.
What happens if hidden damage is found during a project?
The company says it stops, photographs the issue, shows it to the customer and prices the repair before continuing. It says the revised amount is written down and approved before work proceeds.
