Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently asked questions

How we scope and price work, what we build, where we work, and how we document it. If a question is not covered here, call (209) 770-5623 or open the project information panel in the bottom-right corner.

Are you a licensed California contractor?
Yes. On Point Design Construction Inc. holds California contractor license CSLB #1105082. You can look the license up yourself on the California Contractors State License Board website. If a lender, property manager or agent needs documentation on file for a specific project, ask and we will provide what is current.
What areas do you work in?
We work across California’s Central Valley. That covers Stanislaus, San Joaquin, Tuolumne and Calaveras counties plus northern Merced County — including Oakdale, Modesto, Riverbank, Escalon, Turlock, Manteca, Ripon, Stockton, Tracy, Sonora, Jamestown, Copperopolis and Merced. See the service areas page; if your property is near the edge of that area, call and ask.
What types of projects do you take on?
We are a full-service general contractor: custom homes and new residential construction, whole-home renovations, additions and ADUs, apartment and multifamily work, commercial tenant improvements and low-rise to mid-rise building work, structural and envelope repairs, insurance-scope repair documentation, property-management and code-correction work, and inspections. The services page lays out each path.
How is pricing determined?
Price follows scope. What drives it is the design, the site and access, permit and plan-check requirements, whether engineering is needed, material selections, and the existing conditions we find once things are opened up. Because those vary so much from project to project, we do not publish flat prices or per-square-foot numbers. We look at the project, then put a written scope and an itemized estimate in front of you. Start with the project form or call (209) 770-5623.
What does a written scope of work include?
A written scope states what is included, what is excluded, the allowances being carried, the sequence of work, and the itemized cost behind each line. The purpose is that you can read it and know exactly what you are buying before anything begins — and compare it honestly against another contractor's proposal.
How do you handle changes once work has started?
With a documented change order. If a wall opens up and reveals rot, or you decide to change a selection, you get the scope change, the cost and the schedule impact in writing, and it is approved before that work happens. Nothing gets added to your bill by surprise.
Do you build custom homes, additions and ADUs?
Yes. Custom and spec homes from site work and foundation through framing, mechanicals and finishes; room and second-story additions; and ADUs, including garage conversions. We handle plans, permitting coordination, engineering when required, and the structural tie-in to an existing house. See custom homes and new construction and remodeling and additions.
Do you work on apartments, multifamily and commercial property?
Yes. Unit turns and multifamily renovations, exterior and envelope programs, commercial tenant improvements, ADA and code-correction work, and capital-repair scopes for owners, managers and boards. Work is scoped line by line, phased around tenants, and documented for whoever has to approve it. See multifamily and commercial.
What structural and envelope repairs do you handle?
Dry rot and framing repair, roof-line and flashing leaks, window, door and siding leaks, deck repair and rebuild, sub-floor and rim-joist work, and foundation and crawl-space repairs — performed by a licensed general contractor and, where the repair requires it, coordinated with a structural engineer. See repairs and insurance scopes. Minimum project size applies.
Can you document repairs for an insurance claim?
We can document the work the way carriers expect to review it: photo records of the damage and the repair, a written scope of work, and line-item pricing. What we cannot do is promise how an insurer or adjuster will rule on your claim — that decision is theirs. Our part is making sure the documentation is complete and defensible.
Do you perform inspections?
Yes — construction-informed residential and commercial inspections, performed by a licensed general contractor who builds and repairs the same systems being inspected. Common uses are pre-purchase, pre-listing, phase or new-home walkthrough, and new-home warranty inspections before a builder's warranty period ends. The depth of the inspection and the deliverable depend on the property and on why you need it, so both are agreed in advance. See inspections.
Can you help with something urgent, like an active leak?
Call (209) 770-5623 and describe what is happening. We will tell you honestly whether we can get to it and when — availability depends on the current schedule and where the property is, so we would rather give you a straight answer than a promise we cannot keep.
