Why Homeowners Choose Us in Sherman Oaks

FAQ

Yes. Any structural change, fixture relocation, panel upgrade, or footprint change is permitted through the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety (LADBS). We prepare the drawings, coordinate structural engineering, file the application, and schedule every inspection. Cosmetic refreshes that leave plumbing and electrical in place can sometimes proceed without a permit; most luxury-tier scopes involve at least one permitted change.

Kitchen remodels run 6 to 14 weeks of construction, primary baths 4 to 10, detached ADUs roughly 4 to 6 months of permitting before build, and full-home renovations 9 to 14 months of construction — 15 to 25 months from kickoff to move-in once design and permitting are included. Your schedule is committed in Discovery and reported against weekly.

Sherman Oaks is inside the City of Los Angeles, so LADBS governs. South of Ventura Boulevard, most lots fall under the Baseline Hillside Ordinance, which controls height, grading, and floor area on canyon properties. Flat lots in the north are among the most ADU-friendly in the Valley. We assess which rules apply to your parcel in Discovery.

Yes. Detached ADUs up to 1,200 square feet on single-family lots are approved ministerially under the LA ADU ordinance — no discretionary review, no public hearing — and typically clear LADBS in 4 to 6 months. Garage conversions and junior ADUs move faster. Discovery includes a feasibility memo on the permit path for your specific lot.

Yes. A first conversation is free and gives you a ballpark range for the scope you describe. A committed number comes out of Discovery — a fixed-fee feasibility phase that produces a written memo with zoning and setback summary, permit path, preliminary scope, and budget envelope. No design work begins until program and budget are agreed.

Fixed-price. Discovery is a fixed fee, design runs hourly against a not-to-exceed cap, and construction is a fixed contract with a written change-order log — every adjustment approved in writing before it is built. We do not run cost-plus.
