Frequently Asked Questions

  • 1. What areas do you serve?

    We proudly serve residential and commercial clients throughout Contra Costa County, Alameda County, San Mateo County and Santa Clara County — including cities such as Richmond, Oakland, San Jose and neighboring communities across the Bay Area.

  • 2. What types of construction or remodeling services do you offer?

    At LTG Construction Inc., we provide full hardscape services as well as remodels, additions and outdoor upgrades. Whether you’re planning a new build, renovating an existing space or enhancing your outdoor hardscape, our team handles design through build.

  • 3. Do you offer free consultations?

    Yes. We offer a free initial consultation, during which we’ll discuss your project vision, assess your site (on-site evaluations available) and provide an overview of scope and next steps.

  • 4. How do I schedule an appointment?

    You can call us at (510) 472-6767 or fill out our contact form on the website. We'll respond promptly to confirm the consultation and discuss your goals.

  • 5. What is your project timeline process?

    Once we have gathered design details and site measurements, we prepare a proposal outlining schedule, budget and scope. From permit-approval (if required) through construction and final inspection, we manage the phases and keep you updated.

  • 6. Are you licensed and insured?

    Yes. We are a licensed general contractor and carry appropriate insurance coverage to protect you and your property throughout the project.

  • 7. Will I need a permit for my project?

    That depends on the type and scale of your project. We’ll evaluate local municipal requirements in your city/county and handle permit submittals if necessary. We’ll advise you during the consultation.

  • 8. How do you handle the budget and payment schedule?

    We provide a detailed proposal that breaks down cost components, materials and allowances. A payment schedule is included (typically deposit, mid-phase and final payment) so you know what to expect and when. We strive for transparent, predictable pricing.

  • 9. Can you help with design and material selection?

    Absolutely. Our team works with you to clarify your design goals and budget, suggests appropriate materials, finishes and landscaping/hardscape options, and helps coordinate selections so the project flows smoothly.

  • 10. What if unexpected issues arise during construction?

    Unexpected issues (such as site conditions, hidden structural concerns or code compliance) are common in remodeling and site work. We’ll communicate promptly, present solutions and associated cost/time impacts, and proceed only with your approval.

  • 11. How long will my project take?

    Project duration depends on size and complexity. A simple outdoor hardscape may take a few weeks; a full remodel or addition could take several months (including permit time). We’ll provide an estimated timeline in your proposal.

  • 12. Do you provide warranties on your workmanship?

    Yes. We stand behind our workmanship and typically offer a workmanship guarantee for a specified period after completion. Material manufacturer warranties (where applicable) will also be passed on to you.

  • 13. How do you ensure site safety and cleanliness?

    We maintain a safe, professional worksite: proper protective gear, containment of dust and debris, protection of existing landscaping and structures, and daily cleanup. We treat your home or property with respect throughout.

  • 14. Can I see examples of past projects?

    Yes. We encourage you to view our portfolio of past work (available on our website) and we can share reference photos or client testimonials specific to your type of project.

  • 15. What steps are next if I want to move forward?

    First, contact us for the free consultation. We’ll discuss your vision, visit the site (if applicable), define scope, then provide a formal proposal. Once you approve and we agree on schedule and contract terms, we’ll begin the project.
