Exteriors and outdoor living, built with your remodel
When we remodel or add on, the outside should match the inside. We handle outdoor kitchens, decks, pergolas, hardscape, stucco, exterior paint and roof updates — usually as part of a larger project, always built to last.
Most of our exterior work is built as part of a remodel, addition or ADU. We take on stand-alone exterior projects when they meet our $20K minimum.
Most of our reviews come from Los Angeles clients; we're earning more in the Bay Area now.

Budget
What shapes cost
Typical range: $20K–$80K A defined exterior scope, on its own or as part of a larger project: siding or stucco work, painting, trim, and selected windows or doors, priced once the work is listed. Includes design, permit preparation and construction; city permit fees are separate.
How pricing and payment work
After the consultation you get a written summary with an approximate price and timeline, usually within 2–3 business days (4–7 for larger projects). The final price is set in your contract. The deposit is $1,000 or 10% of the contract price, whichever is less; the rest is paid at written milestones as work is completed and materials are delivered, with the final balance at completion.

Who issues permits, and what we prepare
Decks, patio covers, gas lines and roofing often need a permit from LADBS or your city's building department. HPOZ homes need review for street-facing changes, and homes in Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones need ignition-resistant decking, siding, vents and roofing.
Decks, patio covers, gas and electrical usually need permits from your city's building division, and visible exterior changes can trigger design review. Homes in mapped fire hazard severity zones need ignition-resistant exterior materials.
What Tulip prepares
- Drawings, engineering and Title 24 energy calculations
- The permit submittal and plan-check corrections
- Scheduling and meeting every inspection through final sign-off
FAQ
Exterior & outdoor living questions
Do you do exterior-only projects?
Yes, when the project meets our $20K minimum. Most of our exterior work is built as part of a remodel, addition or ADU, so the outside matches the new work inside.
Do you handle roofing?
Yes, as part of additions, second stories, ADUs and remodels where the roof ties in. We don't take on stand-alone roof repairs.
What warranty comes with the work?
Tulip's warranty is typically one year on workmanship from completion, plus manufacturers' warranties. Your exact terms are in your contract.

- A price, then design and contractAfter the visit we send a written summary with an approximate price and timeline, usually within 2–3 business days (4–7 for larger projects). We then develop the design with 3D renderings and set the final price in your contract, with payments tied to completed work. Nothing is ordered or built until you approve it in writing.
