Frequently Asked Questions

A home improvement project includes a very wide range of projects, from replacing a leaky faucet to a complete home interior remodel. 

Here at Cornejo’s Builders, our focus is mainly on bigger home improvement projects, like remodels and ADUs. 

Because of that, we can tackle any kind of work, including installing new plumbing and electrical systems, deck and porch building, siding installation, window and door replacement, painting, and much more!

Complete home remodels are by far the most popular home improvement project homeowners start here in Downey, San Marino, and more of South CA.

These include complete demolition of existing interior home, and building new additions and remodeling bathrooms and the kitchen. 

The cost of a home improvement project is based on what kind of work you need to be done on your property. Because home improvements include a wide range of projects, prices can start from as low as $5k for a deck repair to over $200k for a complete interior remodel.

Most of our projects vary from 1 month to 4 months, depending on the scope of work, so they’re on the more expensive side of upgrades.

We charge based on the project’s scope of work, and then, based off of that, we’ll calculate the materials cost and add in the labor cost.

We can get you the highest-quality craftsmanship at a fair and reasonable price.

The home improvement process generally follows this workflow:

  • Assessment and planning: This stage involves identifying the areas of the home that require improvement, setting clear goals for the project, and creating a detailed plan for the work to be done.
  • Budgeting and sourcing materials: Establishing a budget for the project and researching the necessary materials, fixtures, and appliances.
  • Permits and approvals: Ensuring that any necessary permits and approvals are obtained before the work begins.
  • Demolition and preparation: Clearing out the space and preparing it for removing old fixtures, flooring, or cabinetry.
  • Renovation and construction: Carrying out the actual improvement work, such as installing new flooring, updating electrical or plumbing systems, and making structural changes if necessary.
  • Installation of new components: Adding new fixtures, appliances, cabinetry, or other elements as required by the project plan.
  • Finishing touches: Adding final details such as paint, trim work, and making structural changes if necessary.

Yes! Cornejo’s Builders Inc offers a workmanship warranty for anything we’ve worked on. You’ll also enjoy the materials warranty which can range from a couple of years to over 50. 

Please note that the workmanship warranty is limited to exclusively what we’ve installed, and the materials warranty apply only for the materials we buy and install.

We couldn’t have asked for a better contractor to work with than Alex. 

We were needing our home remodeled in a very short window of time and Alex and his crew were always on schedule and in touch with us throughout the whole remodel. 

We would definitely use them again.
