Before & After Gallery — Frequently Asked Questions

Are these real NP Line Design projects?

Yes. Every photo in this gallery represents actual work completed by our licensed team in Los Angeles. No stock photos, no renders, no third-party project photos. CSLB #1105249.

How much do these projects cost?

Cost ranges are shown with each project showcase and in our comprehensive cost matrix. Ranges reflect Q1 2026 Los Angeles market conditions. Request a free consultation for a project-specific estimate.

Can I see more photos of a specific project?

Yes. Request our full gallery using the form below to receive high-resolution before-and-after photos with complete project documentation for all 12 service categories.

Do you work in my neighborhood?

We serve all of Los Angeles County including the Westside, San Fernando Valley, Hollywood Hills, South Bay, Downtown, Pasadena, Calabasas, and surrounding areas.

How long do these projects take?

Timelines vary by project type. Kitchen remodels: 6–12 weeks. Bathroom remodels: 4–8 weeks. ADUs: 4–6 months. Custom homes: 12–24 months. Full renovations: 4–12 months. Each showcase includes its specific timeline.

Are all projects fully permitted?

Yes. Every project in this gallery was fully permitted through LADBS with all required inspections passed and certificates of occupancy issued where applicable.

What is design-build and why does it matter?

Design-build means the same team that designs your project also builds it. This typically saves 15–20% compared to hiring separate architects and contractors, reduces timelines by 2–4 months, and produces 50–70% fewer change orders.

Can I get a similar result for my home?

Most likely, yes. Book a free consultation and our team will assess your property, discuss your goals, and provide a preliminary scope and budget range within 5 business days.

How do I verify NP Line Design is licensed?

Visit cslb.ca.gov and search license #1105249. You will find our active B-license, $25K surety bond, and clean disciplinary record.

What is included in a free consultation?

An on-site property assessment, scope definition, budget range discussion, LADBS permit overview, timeline estimate, and a follow-up preliminary project outline within 5 business days. No obligation.

How do the 2025 wildfires affect project costs and timelines?

Post-wildfire demand has increased labor and material costs approximately 5–10% year over year. Lock pricing at the proposal stage. Wildfire rebuilds qualify for EO1 expedited permitting (10–30 days).

Do you handle projects that combine multiple service types?

Yes. Multi-service projects (kitchen + bathroom, renovation + ADU, exterior + interior) are common and benefit from design-build coordination under one contract.

What happens after I request the gallery?

You will receive gallery access within 24 hours. A project specialist may follow up to answer questions. No obligation, no pressure. Optional consultation scheduling available.

Can I share these photos with my family or partner?

Absolutely. The full gallery is designed to be shared with decision-makers. High-resolution photos with project context help align everyone on expectations, budget, and timeline.
