Question 7

What’s the difference between a room addition and an ADU in Los Angeles?

Accepted Answer

A room addition expands your existing home such as a bedroom addition or second-story addition, while an ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) is a separate unit with its own entrance. Many Los Angeles homeowners choose home additions when they want more space inside their current home rather than a rental unit. We can help you decide which option best fits your property, budget and goals.

Question 8

What’s the difference between a fiberglass inground pool and a concrete pool?

Accepted Answer

A fiberglass inground pool is pre-manufactured and installed quickly, often within weeks. It offers smooth surfaces, lower long-term maintenance and durability. Concrete or gunite pools, however, are custom-built on site, allowing for any shape or size but typically costing more. When comparing pool installation costs, fiberglass is usually less expensive upfront, while concrete pools provide ultimate design flexibility.

Question 9

What features can I add to enhance my pool installation ?

Accepted Answer

Modern pool installation goes beyond just swimming. Homeowners often add:
 • LED lighting
 • Waterfalls or spas
 • Poolside decking
 • Slides and diving boards

Working with an experienced pool contractor ensures that your design and pool cost reflect both your vision and your budget.

Question 10

What are the pros and cons of an above ground pool vs. an inground pool ?

Accepted Answer

An above ground pool is typically faster and less expensive to install, making it a great option for families who want summer fun without major construction. The best above ground pool models now come with strong liners, stylish designs, and add-ons like decking. However, if you want long-term value and luxury features like spas, waterfalls, or tanning ledges, an inground pool installation is the way to go.

Question 11

How do I find the best pool installation near me ?

Accepted Answer

When searching for pool installation near me, look for licensed and insured pool contractors near me with proven experience in both design and construction. Check online reviews, ask for referrals, and verify past projects. Local companies understand city regulations, soil conditions and climate factors that affect pool installation.

Question 21

Do I need parking for an ADU in Los Angeles?
