I get calls from Orange County home remodeling clients all the time that are trying to put a room addition together, asking me, why contractors don't seem to call them back. Or a contractor says he will show up to look at the project but never comes. I am happy to be celebrating 25 years specializing in drawing room-additions and plans for remodels in Orange County, CA. Let me sit down with you and your family & figure out your wish list. I will then put together multiple different plans for you to choose the perfect one for you.
Take setbacks for example. Your front setback is from the backside of your sidewalk to your house. The side setback is from the property line to the house. The property line is usually shown by a fence or block wall. Of course the rear setback is from the rear property line to the house, again shown by a block wall in most cases. Again every city is different. Side setbacks are normally around 5 feet, however, Diamond Bar is different, they want the total setback to be 15 feet. So you can have 5 feet on one side and 10 on the other.
