        "text": "When choosing a contractor for a layout change, look for experience in similar projects, strong references, and a clear communication style. Verify their licensing and insurance. It's crucial to select a contractor who understands the local permitting requirements, especially in the East Bay area where regulations can vary between municipalities. We encourage clients to gather inspiration photos and make a list of 'must-have' vs. 'nice-to-have' features. This preparation helps us tailor solutions that truly meet your needs and vision.",
