Know what the renovation costs before you buy the property.
Investor services from US Floor Design Center
We work with agents across Orange County to find properties worth renovating, then we price the work in writing before you commit. If the numbers work, you buy and we build. Every estimate is backed by thirty years and more than 800 completed projects.
Most flips are lost on the renovation number, not the purchase price.
Investors rarely overpay for the property. They lose the margin on a renovation that was estimated from a walkthrough, bid by three contractors after closing, and delivered four months late. By the time the real number arrives, the deal is already done and the holding costs are running.
We reverse that order. The renovation is scoped, priced, and scheduled before you write the offer, by the same people who will do the work.
Five steps from deal to exit.
We bring you the property.
We work with a network of agents across Orange County who send us properties before they are widely marketed. We screen for the ones where renovation actually creates value: dated kitchens and baths, poor layouts, worn flooring, deferred maintenance. Cosmetic problems on a sound building.
We price the renovation in writing.
You receive a feasibility study on that specific property. Scope of work room by room, material selections at showroom pricing, a fixed construction cost, a build schedule in weeks, and the permit path. It is the same document our crews build from.
You buy the property.
You make the offer with the renovation cost already known. Your agent handles the transaction. We do not hold your funds and we are not a party to the purchase.
We renovate it.
One contract, one team, one schedule. Design, demolition, permits, trades, materials, and installation are handled in house. You get scheduled progress updates and a single point of contact. You never manage a subcontractor.
You sell or you rent.
When the work passes final walkthrough, the decision is yours. If you sell, we coordinate staging with your agent. If you hold, you own a property renovated to rental standard with a written warranty on the work.
A document you can underwrite from.
The study is property-specific and it is written to be read by you, your lender, and your agent.
The study is free. We produce it because we want the renovation, and because we would rather spend a day on a walkthrough than build a project that should not have been bought.

Three kinds of investor.
First property
You have the capital and you have found the strategy. You have not run a renovation before and you would rather your first one not be the lesson.
Out of the area
You are buying in Orange County from somewhere else. You need a licensed team on the ground who is accountable for the build and reachable by phone.
Repeat investor
You already do this. You are tired of chasing subcontractors and reconciling four separate bids, and you want one contract and one schedule.
You make the decisions. We do the rest.
- Property screening with our agent partners
- Walkthrough and written condition report
- Scope of work and fixed pricing
- Material selection and procurement
- Permits, plan check, and inspections
- Every trade, scheduled and supervised
- Daily site management
- Punch list and final walkthrough
- Written warranty on the work
- The decision to buy
- Financing
- Holding costs
- Final approval on selections
- The decision to sell or rent

Common questions.
No. If you already have an agent, we work with them. If you do not, we can introduce you to one from our network. You are never required to use anyone we recommend, and we are not paid by you for that introduction.
Tell us what you are looking for.
We will come back to you within one business day. If you already have a property in mind, mention the address and we will walk it.
