Frequently Asked Questions

Ashbury Contractors is a licensed general contractor serving Tustin, CA, handling kitchen and bath remodels, roofing, windows, doors, fencing, hardscaping, and ADU installations under one contract. Below are the questions Tustin homeowners ask us most, answered directly. If your question isn’t here, call (833) 467-4091 and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Pricing & Estimates

How much does a construction or remodeling project cost in Tustin?

Most Tustin remodels fall into predictable ranges depending on scope: a bathroom refresh typically runs $12,000 – $28,000, a full kitchen remodel $35,000 – $85,000, a roof replacement $14,000 – $32,000 on a typical single-story Tustin ranch home, and an ADU installation $120,000 – $280,000 depending on the prefab model and site work. These are real market ranges, not teaser numbers. The exact figure depends on your square footage, material tier, and whether we’re opening walls or working around existing systems. We specify the product before we quote the price, so your estimate reflects actual brands and finishes rather than a placeholder allowance. Call (833) 467-4091 for a free estimate on your specific project.

Do you offer free estimates?

Yes, every estimate is free. We walk your property, talk through scope and material tiers, and give you a written number that itemizes labor and product choices. Because we carry 50+ vetted product lines, we can show you a mid-tier option and a premium option side by side, so you’re choosing a real range, not guessing at one. There’s no cost and no obligation to book. Call (833) 467-4091 to schedule yours.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept check, bank transfer, and major credit cards. Larger projects are typically billed in progress payments tied to completed phases, so you’re paying for work that’s already done rather than fronting the whole contract. We’ll spell out the payment schedule in writing before anyone swings a hammer. Call (833) 467-4091 to talk through terms for your project.

Is it cheaper to repair or replace my roof?

Repair is usually cheaper when the damage is isolated to a section and the roof is under 15 years old; replacement makes more sense when the decking is compromised or the roof is near the end of its service life. On a typical Tustin ranch home, a spot repair might run $600 – $1,800, while a full GAF or CertainTeed system replacement lands in the $14,000 – $32,000 range. Tustin’s dry summers and occasional Santa Ana wind events tend to age shingles on the west- and south-facing slopes first, so we always inspect those planes before recommending a full tear-off. Call (833) 467-4091 for a free roof inspection.

Service & Scheduling

Do you offer emergency construction service?

Yes, we respond to urgent calls like active roof leaks, storm damage, and failed exterior doors or windows. When water is getting into your house, the priority is stopping the intrusion and securing the structure, then scheduling the permanent repair. We can’t promise a specific response time for every call, but we treat active leaks and storm damage as priority work. Call (833) 467-4091 and describe what’s happening.

How fast can you respond?

For non-emergency projects, expect a call back within one business day and an on-site estimate scheduled within the week. Emergency calls like active leaks get moved to the front of the queue. The bigger variable is material lead time, not our scheduling: stock cabinetry and common roofing lines move fast, while custom Cambria countertops or a prefab ADU from Abodu or Mighty Buildings can add weeks. We’ll give you an honest timeline up front. Call (833) 467-4091 to get on the schedule.

Do you take on phased projects, or do I have to do everything at once?

We handle phased projects all the time, and many Tustin homeowners start with one major remodel, then add exterior work a year or two later. Because we work the whole property, from interior cabinetry to the fence line, you can plan a multi-year upgrade with one contractor instead of re-bidding each phase to a different trade. That continuity matters most for clients doing a whole-home renovation across several seasons. See how we scope this on our General Contractor in Tustin page, or call (833) 467-4091 to map out a phased plan.

What areas do you serve?

We serve Tustin and the surrounding Orange County communities, including the neighborhoods around Old Town Tustin, Tustin Ranch, and the Columbus Square and Columbus Grove areas. If you’re just outside that footprint, call and ask; we’ll tell you honestly whether we can serve you well. Call (833) 467-4091 to confirm coverage for your address.

Licensing & Trust

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes, Ashbury Contractors is a licensed general contractor, and we carry insurance that covers the work we perform on your property. We’ll provide current license and insurance documentation whenever you ask, before you sign anything. Single-contractor accountability means one point of contact, one contract, and one warranty conversation for the whole job. Call (833) 467-4091 with any licensing questions.

Do you guarantee your work?

Yes, we stand behind our workmanship and we honor manufacturer warranties on the products we install, from GAF and CertainTeed roofing to Kohler and Grohe fixtures. Because we specify the exact product, we know precisely which warranty applies, and we handle the warranty conversation for you rather than sending you to a manufacturer or a subcontractor. Built to the standard of the brand means the warranty is real and traceable. Call (833) 467-4091 to ask how coverage applies to your project.

Who actually shows up to do the work, and where does the material come from?

We manage the trades and hold the contract from start to finish, so you deal with one accountable party instead of coordinating a plumber, a roofer, and a cabinet installer yourself. Materials come through our established product lines: Cambria and Caesarstone quartz, KraftMaid cabinetry, Therma-Tru doors, PGT and CGI windows, and Belgard pavers, among others. That vertical reach is the whole reason clients hire a full-scope general contractor rather than a single-trade remodeler. Start at our home page, or call (833) 467-4091 to discuss your scope.

Remodeling Services

Do you handle kitchen remodeling?

Yes, kitchen remodeling is a core service, and we cover the entire room: KraftMaid cabinetry, Cambria, Caesarstone, or Silestone quartz countertops, and plumbing fixtures from Kohler, Grohe, and Toto. Because we carry multiple price tiers in every category, we can match finishes to your budget without dropping to builder-grade materials you’ll regret. We specify the product before we quote the price, so you know exactly what you’re getting. Call (833) 467-4091 to plan your Tustin kitchen remodel.

Do you handle bathroom remodeling?

Yes, we remodel bathrooms start to finish, including tile, vanities, and Kohler and Toto plumbing fixtures. Most Tustin bathroom projects we see involve replacing older fixtures and updating layout for better function, which is where a single contractor pays off: one team handles demo, plumbing, tile, and finish. We offer material options across price tiers so the room fits your budget. Call (833) 467-4091 for a free bathroom estimate.

Do you handle roofing?

Yes, we install full roofing systems from every major manufacturer, including GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral. We inspect the decking, address any sheathing issues, and recommend a system appropriate to your home’s pitch and exposure rather than a one-size shingle. Tustin’s sun and wind stress the west- and south-facing planes first, so a proper inspection matters more than picking a color. Call (833) 467-4091 for a free roof evaluation.

Do you handle windows & doors?

Yes, windows and doors are part of our exterior envelope work, using PGT and CGI windows and Therma-Tru doors. Proper installation matters as much as the product: a quality window set badly still leaks, so we control the fit and flashing rather than handing it to a subcontractor who disappears. Right now, if you’re replacing old single-pane windows along a west-facing wall, you’ll feel the difference in both heat gain and street noise. Call (833) 467-4091 to measure and quote your window and door replacement.

Do you do fencing and hardscaping?

Yes, we install fencing through Master Halco, Jerith, and Ameristar, and hardscaping through Belgard, Unilock, and Techo-Bloc. That covers everything from a new privacy fence to a full paver patio or driveway. Because we handle hardscape alongside the house itself, your patio, walkways, and fence line up with the structure instead of being an afterthought. Call (833) 467-4091 to price your outdoor project.

Do you install ADUs and prefab structures?

Yes, we install accessory dwelling units and prefab structures through partnerships with Abodu, Dvele, Mighty Buildings, Boxabl, and Plant Prefab, plus Tuff Shed for storage structures. ADUs are a specialty most remodelers can’t offer, and they’re especially relevant in Tustin, where lot sizes and zoning make a backyard unit a practical way to add living space. We handle the site work, foundation, and connections alongside the structure itself. Call (833) 467-4091 to talk through ADU options for your property.

How We Run a Project, Step by Step

Every project follows the same sequence so you always know what happens next and who’s responsible.

1. On-site consultation. We walk the property, listen to your goals, and flag anything the structure or systems will force us to address.
2. Material selection. We specify the product before we quote the price, choosing from our 50+ lines across the price tier that fits your budget.
3. Written estimate. You get an itemized number covering labor and the actual products, with the scope spelled out in plain language.
4. Contract and schedule. One contract, one point of contact, and a phase-by-phase schedule with progress payments tied to completed work.
5. Construction and management. We run the trades and hold the contract, so you’re not coordinating a plumber, a roofer, and a cabinet installer yourself.
6. Final walkthrough. We review the finished work with you, confirm the product warranties, and close out the job.
