Remodeling in Malibu
What is different about remodeling in Malibu?
A Malibu project goes through more layers of review than most LA projects, so we plan around the approval process from the first sketch. The City of Malibu runs its own planning and building process, and most meaningful projects also need a coastal development permit. Many properties are on septic systems under strict onsite wastewater rules, bluff and hillside parcels need geology review, and fire-zone rules apply.
These reviews take time, but they are manageable when the order is planned early. Our work here includes bluff and beach houses updated with materials that hold up to salt air, canyon homes remodeled or rebuilt after fire seasons, and kitchens and primary suites with cabinets from our own workshop.
Fire rebuild
Rebuilding after the Palisades Fire.
The Palisades Fire of January 2025 also burned homes in Malibu. The City of Malibu permits its own rebuilds through the Rebuild Center next to City Hall and runs a fee waiver program for like-for-like rebuilds. Details: Malibu Rebuilds (City of Malibu).
We rebuild from a cleared lot to a certificate of occupancy: survey, plans by licensed architects and engineers, permits, and construction to the current wildfire code, at a fixed price in writing.
