Legal notices
The disclosures that go with what you see on this site, in one place and in plain words.
Last updated: November 5, 2026
1. Contractor license
Berg Development Inc. is a California corporation and a licensed California contractor.
- License number: CSLB #1111136
- Issued by: the California Contractors State License Board (CSLB)
The license record is public. It shows the classifications the license covers, its status, and its bond and workers' compensation information. Look it up at cslb.ca.gov and search for license number 1111136. Or call CSLB at 800-321-2752.
We encourage you to check any contractor's license before you hire, including ours. Make sure the record lists the kind of work you are hiring for.
Berg is design-build, led by a licensed general contractor with a degree in architecture. The license is a contractor license. The degree is the founder's education, not a second license.
2. Estimates and county data
The lot view, the 3D model, the fit check and the prices on this site are preliminary. They are built from public records:
- the Los Angeles County parcel map and assessor data;
- the county's aerial building survey, with building heights from aerial laser scans (LiDAR);
- tree cover, from county land-cover data and aerial laser scans;
- county elevation data and the county aerial photo of the lot;
- fire hazard zones, from county hazard maps;
- city zoning data.
Pools are different. Our own software looks for pools in county aerial photos. It does not use an official list of pools.
What you see is not a land survey, a title report, a roof or structural inspection, an engineering review, an appraisal, a zoning determination or a permit decision.
- Records can be wrong. Public records can be out of date, incomplete or mistaken. Lot lines on the map are approximate. Buildings added or removed since the county's last survey may be missing.
- Not everything is shown. Easements, underground utilities and site conditions are not shown.
- Pools and trees. Software finds pools in old aerial photos, and trees come from county scans. Either can be missing, out of date or wrong.
- Permits. Only the city or county decides what can be permitted.
- Prices. Online prices come from Berg's price table. A price marked "Estimate" is not final. Quantities are confirmed at the site visit. A price is binding only in a signed written contract.
Los Angeles County, the cities and the other data sources do not endorse Berg or this site. They are not responsible for how we use their data.

3. Renderings and AI-generated images
- Residences. Pictures of backyard residences on this site are computer renderings. Some were made or finished with AI image tools. They are not photos of finished Berg projects unless a caption says so.
- What a rendering shows. A rendering shows the idea: the look, the size and the layout. Colors, materials, plants, furniture and views are illustrations. What gets built is set by your contract, your plans and your permit.
- Floor plans. Floor plans on the site are drawn by software. They are schematic, not construction drawings.
- Your lot in 3D. The 3D model of your lot is drawn by software from public records. Your house, trees and fences are approximations.
- AI roof estimates. For some roofs, an AI model reads the county aerial photo to estimate the roof's shape. That estimate can be wrong. The roof is measured at the site visit.
- Crews and job sites. Some pictures and background clips, including pictures of crews at work, are AI-generated illustrations. They are not photos of Berg jobs. A photo is from a real Berg job site only when a caption says so.
4. The films and the AI voice
Some films and background clips on this site are made with AI. They show illustrated scenes, not footage of Berg jobs. Footage is from a real Berg job site only when the film or its caption says so.
Narration in some films uses an AI-generated copy of the voice of Taron Sargsyan, Berg's founder. It was made from his own voice and is used with his consent.
Nothing in the films is a quote, an offer or a contract. Numbers mentioned in the films, such as rent ranges or price comparisons, are estimates or examples.
5. Solar production and savings
Any figure on this site for how much power a solar system makes, how much of your usage it covers, or how much you might save is an estimate. It is not a guarantee.
Real results depend on things that change and that Berg does not control:
- weather and shade;
- the direction and slope of your roof;
- how much power you use, and when;
- your utility's rates, your rate plan and its rules for power sent back to the grid.
- How the site sizes a system. It uses the usage or bill amount you enter and a utility rate from Berg's price table. Roof size and direction come from public records or from you. All of it is confirmed at the site visit.
- Utility approval is required. Your electric utility must approve a solar or battery system before it can be switched on. City or county permits and inspections are required too. Berg does not control how long those take.
- Incentives and taxes. Prices on the solar pages are shown before any incentives. We do not give tax advice. Ask a tax professional whether a credit or incentive applies to you.
- Batteries. How long a battery runs your house depends on what is connected and how much power you use.
Before you sign a solar contract, read the California Solar Consumer Protection Guide from the California Public Utilities Commission: cpuc.ca.gov/solarguide.
6. Financing illustration
Berg Development is a contractor. Berg is not a lender, a loan broker or a loan officer, and holds no lending license. Berg does not arrange loans.
The monthly payment shown on this site is an illustration. It is not an offer of credit, a loan approval, a rate quote or a promise to lend.
- How it is figured. The site takes the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate from Freddie Mac's weekly Primary Mortgage Market Survey. It adds three percentage points. It adds 5 percent closing costs to the loan amount. Then it works out the payment over 20 or 30 years, or as interest only. Which choices you see depends on the page.
- If the survey cannot be read. The site uses a fallback rate that Berg sets. It is not a live rate.
- Your real numbers. Your rate, costs and payment depend on your lender, your credit, your property and the kind of loan. Talk to a licensed lender.
Freddie Mac does not sponsor or endorse this site.
7. Rent examples
Rent figures on this site are estimates for the area. They are not a promise of rental income. Before you count on rent, check local rents, the rules for renting, taxes and insurance.
8. Your written contract
This website is not a contract. In California, a contract to improve a residence must be in writing. The law calls it a home improvement contract. The law also says it must include notices that protect you. Berg does work only under a written contract signed by you and by Berg. That contract controls.
- Down payment cap. By law, the down payment on a home improvement contract may not be more than $1,000 or 10 percent of the contract price, whichever is less.
- Later payments. Later payments follow the schedule in the contract. By law, a contractor may not ask for more than the value of the work done and the materials delivered, other than the down payment.
- Right to cancel. California law gives you the right to cancel within three business days after you sign. The law gives a longer time in some cases, for example to buyers age 65 or older. Your contract has a notice that explains when that time starts and how to cancel.
- Changes. Extra work or a change must be in a written change order, signed before that work begins.
- Other notices. California law requires a home improvement contract to carry notices about mechanics liens and about the Contractors State License Board. Look for them in your contract.
- Design Sessions. The Design Session Agreement covers the session only. It is not a construction contract.
Our Terms of Use explain how online estimates, orders and week holds work before a contract is signed.
