ADU & Garage Conversion
An ADU is the fastest way most Los Angeles homeowners add real square footage: rental income, a place for family, or a home office that isn't the corner of a bedroom. We handle the whole thing: feasibility, design, LADBS permits, and construction with our own crews.

Kitchen Remodeling
The kitchen is the room you use most and the one that carries the most resale value — and whether you call it a kitchen remodel or a full kitchen renovation, it's also where a bad contractor does the most damage. We design it with you, pull the permits, and build it with our own crews.

Bathroom Remodeling
A bathroom is a small room with a lot packed into it: plumbing, electrical, ventilation, tile, and waterproofing that has to be perfect. Cut a corner behind the tile during a bathroom renovation and you'll find out about it two years later.

Room Additions & Second Stories
Sometimes you don't need a different house — you need one more bedroom, a bigger kitchen, or a real primary suite. An addition ties new structure into an existing house, which means the engineering and the tie-in details matter more than the finishes.

Structural, Foundation & Framing
This is the work you can't see and can't afford to get wrong. Los Angeles homes sit on everything from stable flats to steep hillsides, and older houses often need real structural attention before anything cosmetic makes sense.

Complete Home Remodel
A whole-home remodel — or full home renovation — is really a dozen projects running in sequence, and the schedule is what makes or breaks it. When one team owns the design, the permits, and the build, nothing falls through the gap between trades.

Custom New Construction
Building from the ground up is the most involved thing we do, and the property decides most of it: zoning, slope, soils, access, and utilities all shape what you can build before a single line gets drawn.
See DetailsGarage Conversion
A garage conversion is usually the cheapest permitted square footage you can add in Los Angeles, because the slab, walls and roof already exist. The work that matters is what you can't see: the slab condition, ceiling height, insulation, and getting a real permit on it.
See DetailsSeismic Retrofit
If your house was built before 1980 and sits on a raised foundation, bracing it is one of the highest-value things you can do to it. If you own a soft-story apartment building in Los Angeles, retrofitting may not be optional at all.

SB9 lets many single-family lots in California be split, or hold two units, without a discretionary hearing. Whether your parcel actually qualifies comes down to zoning, size, hazard zones and rental history, so eligibility is where we start.

Building on a slope in Los Angeles is a different job than building on the flats. Soils reports, deep foundations, grading limits, access for equipment, and a longer plan check all decide the budget before anyone talks about finishes.
See DetailsFire Rebuild & Reconstruction
The January 2025 Palisades and Eaton fires destroyed roughly 16,000 structures across Los Angeles County. Rebuilding is not a normal remodel. You are dealing with an insurance claim, a debris-cleared lot, current wildfire building codes, and a permit path that rewards getting the paperwork right the first time. We handle all of it with one team.
