Frequently Asked Questions

  • Are you licensed and insured?

    We are licensed, bonded and insured. Rest assured we are legally authorized and covered for liability and worker's comp.



  • Do you work in Orinda, Lafayette, and Moraga?

    Yes — Lamorinda is one of our primary service areas. We regularly complete projects in Orinda (including Orinda Downs, Sleepy Hollow, and Orinda Country Club), Lafayette (including Happy Valley, Burton Valley, and the Reservoir area), and Moraga (including Campolindo, Moraga Country Club, and Rheem Valley). We understand the specific challenges of Lamorinda homes — hillside lots, winding driveways, historic character, and strict local permitting — and have crews experienced in every stage of construction in these communities.

  • Do you offer free estimates?

    We offer free estimates always! Please feel free to contact us to set up your free estimate. 

  • How much does a kitchen remodel cost in the East Bay?

    Kitchen remodel costs in the East Bay typically range from $45,000 for a refresh (new cabinets, counters, and fixtures in the existing footprint) to $70,000–$120,000 for a mid-range remodel (new layout, appliances, lighting, and finishes) and $120,000–$250,000+ for a high-end or whole-kitchen renovation with structural changes. Factors that affect pricing include countertop material (quartz vs. natural stone), cabinet quality (stock vs. custom), whether walls are moved, electrical and plumbing upgrades, and appliance tier. We provide fixed-price estimates after a free in-home consultation — call 925-258-2425 to schedule.

  • Can you provide references or examples of past work?

    Yes! We can absolutely give you references upon request. We pride ourselves on the work we do and have many happy and satisfied customers. 

  • How long have you been in business?

    Takoda Construction has served East Bay homeowners since 1999, completing hundreds of kitchen remodels, bathroom renovations, ADUs, and full home additions across Contra Costa and Alameda counties. Our team brings decades of combined construction experience and has built a reputation for clear communication, on-time delivery, and lasting craftsmanship.

  • Do you handle ADU permits in Contra Costa County?

    Yes. We manage the full ADU permitting process across Contra Costa County (Orinda, Lafayette, Moraga, Walnut Creek, Danville, Alamo) and Alameda County (Oakland, Berkeley, Alameda, Hayward). California's SB 9 and state ADU laws have streamlined approvals significantly, but each jurisdiction still has its own local requirements around setbacks, height limits, parking, and utility connections. Our team handles architectural drawings, structural engineering, permit submission, plan check revisions, and final inspections — so you're not navigating multiple city departments on your own.

  • What’s your typical project timeline?

    Timelines vary based on scope. A typical bathroom remodel runs 3-5 weeks, a kitchen remodel 6-10 weeks, an ADU 4-6 months, and a whole-home remodel 4-9 months. Before starting any project, we provide a detailed schedule with key milestones so you know what to expect week by week

  • Will you handle permits and inspections?

    Yes, we handle every permit and inspection required for your project. This includes building permits, electrical and plumbing permits, structural engineering sign-offs, and final inspections with your local jurisdiction. You don't coordinate with city departments — we do

  • What is a typical payment schedule for a contractor?

    We normally ask for a down payment and then we schedule payments throughout the project. We are willing to work with you on a payment plan

  • What does a general contractor near you do?

    A general contractor manages every part of a home improvement project — from design and permits to coordinating skilled trades (plumbers, electricians, carpenters, painters) to final walkthroughs. At Takoda Construction, we specialize in kitchen and bathroom remodeling, whole-home renovations, ADUs, additions, and outdoor spaces — anything that makes your home better

  • How much does it cost to hire a general contractor near you?

    Hiring the best general contractor near you depends on the scope of your project. General contractors manage everything from the very beginning, including project management, permitting, and coordinating all trades. The huge advantage is that we have all the resources and experience in-house — saving homeowners significant time and money compared to managing multiple contractors yourself.
