Remodeling in Encino
What is different about remodeling in Encino?
In Encino, the side of Ventura Boulevard you live on affects the schedule before design starts. South of the Boulevard you are in the hills, and LA City's hillside rules apply. That means grading limits, haul routes for soil and engineering driven by the slope, and each of those adds review steps for additions and new structures. North of the Boulevard the lots get flatter and wider toward the ranch blocks of the basin, and the same addition moves through plan check much faster.
Most of what we remodel here is postwar ranch houses and homes from the '60s and '70s. They tend to have closed kitchens, builder-grade cabinets and primary baths that are small by today's standards. Our crew opens up kitchens and installs custom cabinets from our own workshop, builds out primary suites, and puts ADUs on the larger flat lots. Encino is one of the better areas in the Valley for an ADU.
Services in Encino
What we do for Encino homes.
Kitchen remodeling in Encino
Postwar Ranch houses usually have a long, low footprint, which works well for a kitchen and family room combined around a large island. If no walls move and we plan the cabinet runs around the original windows, the job can stay on an Express Permit.
Bathroom remodeling in Encino
Original Ranch-era bathrooms often have a tub-shower combination and a small vanity. The typical Encino bath project turns the tub into a walk-in shower and adds a custom vanity built to fit.
Whole-home remodeling
We remodel whole houses and condos as a single project, run by one project manager at a fixed price.
Room additions
Primary suites, family rooms and second stories, framed and finished to match the existing house.
ADU builder in Encino
Flat lots north of Ventura Boulevard often have room for a detached ADU inside the setbacks. That makes Encino one of the easier places in the Valley to add a unit.
Custom cabinetry
Kitchen cabinets, vanities, closets and built-ins, made to measure in our own workshop and installed by our crew.
