What we do most in Encino
Room Additions

Complete Home Renovation
The entire house in one project, instead of one room every other year.
Ground-Up New Construction
Starting from an empty lot or a teardown and ending with a finished building.
ADU & Garage Conversion
A second home on your lot: a backyard unit, a converted garage, or a unit carved out of the house.Building rules in Encino

How we run the job
1. Walk the property
We meet you on site, listen, and look at what the building and the city will need. You get a written scope and a budget range.
2. Drawings
When drawings are needed we bring in the architect and engineer, and price the design while it is being drawn.
3. Permit
We file with the city, handle the corrections they send back, and tell you where it stands.
4. Price and contract
An itemized price, a schedule and payment terms. Anything new after signing gets priced in writing first.
5. Build
One supervisor on your job, licensed trades, inspections in order, and a weekly update with photos.
6. Walkthrough
A final fix list, the city's sign-off, and a written warranty on our work.

Encino questions
How much can I add to a ranch house in Encino?
The Baseline Mansionization Ordinance sets floor area as a percentage of lot area; many Encino lots allow substantial additions. We run the number before design.
Can I build a pool house or ADU in Encino?
Yes. Large rear yards make detached ADUs and pool houses common.
Do you tear down and rebuild in Encino?
Yes. Full teardowns and new custom homes are a regular part of our work there.
