Helping Los Angeles Homeowners Make Better Use of Their Properties
Your project should solve a practical need. That might mean a kitchen with more usable storage, a bathroom that feels easier to navigate, a separate residence for family, or a renovation that brings several outdated rooms together.
Start by considering what you want your property to do better:
- Replace dated kitchens, bathrooms, and interior finishes.
- Explore an ADU for residential rental use where permitted.
- Improve the layout and function of your existing home.
- Create separate living space for family or guests.
- Convert an underused garage into a more useful space.
- Connect indoor living areas with a more functional backyard.
- Plan and build a custom residence.
We help turn those priorities into a defined scope so design decisions, budget discussions, and construction planning work toward the same goal.

Remodeling and Building in the City of Los Angeles
Our office is on Sepulveda Boulevard near the Getty Center, just off the 405 at the Sepulveda Pass. From there, our crews reach projects across the city, from the hillside streets of the Santa Monica Mountains to the flat grid of the LA basin and the San Fernando Valley floor.
Permits Through LADBS
Projects in the City of Los Angeles are permitted through the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety (LADBS), not Los Angeles County. We prepare plan submissions, respond to plan check corrections, and schedule inspections with LADBS. We also work with the Development Services Centers at Figueroa Plaza downtown, on Van Nuys Boulevard, and on Sawtelle Boulevard in West LA.
Utility work for new service, meter upgrades, and ADU connections goes through LADWP. Coordinating those connections early keeps them from holding up the end of a project.
Nearby cities such as Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, and Culver City have their own building departments and rules. Tell us your address first, and we’ll confirm which agency reviews your project.

What We Find in Los Angeles Homes
Much of the city’s housing was built between the 1920s and the 1960s. That includes Spanish Revival bungalows, postwar ranch homes, and mid-century houses in the hills. When we open walls for a kitchen or bathroom remodel, we regularly find original plaster, galvanized water lines, cast-iron drains, ungrounded wiring, and framing that has been altered by past owners. We plan for these conditions in the estimate so they don’t become surprises halfway through the job.
ADUs in Los Angeles
The City of Los Angeles permits detached ADUs, attached ADUs, junior ADUs, and garage conversions on most residential lots. The city’s ADU Standard Plan Program offers pre-approved designs that can shorten plan review. We help you compare a standard plan with a custom design based on your lot, budget, and how you plan to use the unit.
Share your property address when you contact us. We’ll tell you which city rules apply before you commit to a design.
Hillside, Coastal, Historic, and Fire Zones
Los Angeles layers several overlay rules on top of standard building codes:
- Hillside lots in the Santa Monica Mountains and around Griffith Park fall under the Baseline Hillside Ordinance, which limits home size, height, and grading.
- Coastal Zone properties can need a Coastal Development Permit for ADUs and some exterior work.
- Historic Preservation Overlay Zones (HPOZs) require design review for exterior changes visible from the street.
- Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones in the hills carry requirements for ember-resistant vents, roofing, and exterior materials.
Earthquake safety is another critical consideration: many older Los Angeles homes benefit from seismic retrofitting during a remodel, whether that means bolting the foundation, reinforcing cripple walls, or upgrading structural connections.
We check which of these apply to your property before design starts, so your plans account for them from the first draft.

Please, Note: Los Angeles Building Permits & Codes
Most structural, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical work in the City of Los Angeles requires a permit from the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety (LADBS). Permit fees are calculated based on project valuation; for example, a kitchen remodel might incur fees of several hundred dollars, while an ADU can run into thousands. Simple permits may be issued over the counter, but larger projects often require plan check, which can take several weeks.
Our team manages the entire application process: we prepare code-compliant plans, submit for review, coordinate corrections, and secure final approval so you avoid costly delays and compliance risks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you provide construction and remodeling services in Los Angeles?
Yes. Precise Building and Restoration serves Los Angeles homeowners with remodeling, ADU construction, garage conversions, custom home building, roofing, and backyard improvements. Contact us to confirm availability for your property.
Do you help with plans and permits?
Depending on the agreed scope, we can coordinate design professionals, drawings, engineering, permit preparation, and applicable inspections. The requirements depend on the property and proposed work.
Can you coordinate interior remodeling and backyard improvements together?
Yes. Discuss both parts of the project during the initial conversation so design, access, utility work, and construction sequencing can be considered together.
How do you determine the cost of a project?
The cost depends on the agreed work, existing conditions, materials, structural requirements, and planning or approval needs. A defined scope provides a more useful basis for an estimate than square footage alone.
Can I remain in my home during remodeling?
That depends on the affected rooms and construction activities. Access to a kitchen and bathroom, utility interruptions, dust, noise, and safety should be discussed before work starts.
Where can I verify your contractor license?
Our published California contractor license number is #1113493. Check the current record through the California Contractors State License Board.
What should I include when contacting you?
Include your property address or neighborhood, project type, desired improvements, preferred timing, and preliminary budget if available. Existing drawings and photographs can also help explain your plans.
Can you help with earthquake retrofitting during a remodel?
Absolutely. Many older Los Angeles homes benefit from seismic upgrades, and we often integrate foundation bolting, cripple wall reinforcement, and shear wall installation into remodeling projects. We assess your home’s needs during the initial property review.
