Frequently asked questions about renovating in the San Francisco Bay Area

Can Block Renovation help redesign my Bay Area home?

The Bay Area is a mosaic of architectural styles, from San Francisco’s Victorian grandeur to Oakland’s mid-century modern homes, the sprawling ranch houses of the South Bay, and contemporary builds found throughout the region. With such rich diversity, a successful home remodel depends on working with a Bay Area contractor who truly understands the nuances of your home’s architectural style. Just as important is partnering with a local interior designer who is fluent in these unique design languages.

Our network of licensed interior designers can provide personalized guidance to help you achieve the full potential of your Bay Area home. They can also craft detailed 2D or 3D visualizations of your proposed renovations.

What kind of protections and warranty do you provide Bay Area homeowners?

A Bay area remodeling project is a big deal for both your property and your budget. In addition to matching you with highly qualified contractors, we offer the added certainty that comes with:

- Transparent project scopes that Block Renovation helps evaluate for potential gaps or inconsistencies

- Progress-based payments; you only pay the contractors when they’ve made significant progress on your remodeling project

- One-year warranties, a prerequisite for any Bay Area contractor wanting to join Block Renovation

- Hands-on assistance when requested, whether it’s assessing a change to the scope or providing guidance in the rare case of a dispute

Our Block Protections page further details the many ways Block Renovations has your back from start-to-finish.

Are Block Renovation services free?

The vast majority of Block Renovation services are entirely free. This includes us hand-picking contractors for your Bay Area remodeling project; access to our dedicated renovation consultants who can guide you through bids and project scopes; and the core benefits of our Block Protections.

Formal interior design guidance comes with a charge. As summarized on our Design Services pages, we enable Bay Area homeowners to receive consultation and renderings of future remodel changes from experienced interior design pros.

What’s the first step to getting started with Block Renovation?

This powerful resource allows you to visualize potential design changes, experiment with different styles, and receive valuable budgeting insights, empowering you to refine your vision and build confidence in your plans before committing.

- Connect directly with our team: For those Bay Area homeowners who prefer a more direct or immediate conversation, or if you have a specific question, you can always start the conversation by emailing our dedicated team at sales@blockrenovation.com.

Will Block Renovation general contractors help acquire the necessary permits?

Navigating permits is a crucial part of nearly every Bay Area renovation. Your general contractor will manage all permitting and inspections on your behalf, ensuring the process runs smoothly. More importantly, they can offer valuable insights into how certain home modifications might conflict with local regulations—potentially requiring exceptions from your zoning board and extending your project timeline. It’s just one of the many ways they can help you prepare and make informed renovation decisions.
