General contractor in Woodland Hills

Woodland Hills has some of the largest single-family lots in the City of Los Angeles, mostly post-war ranch housing, with hillside parcels rising toward the Santa Monica Mountains in the south.

• Lot sizes make this one of the best parts of the city for a large detached ADU, where bigger units cost less per square foot.
• Flat parcels support substantial additions within the Baseline Mansionization Ordinance limits.
• Southern hillside parcels bring grading review and very high fire hazard severity zone requirements.
• Summer heat makes insulation, glazing and HVAC sizing matter more here than on the Westside.

LADBS (City of Los Angeles), Van Nuys office

Encino is in the City of Los Angeles. Flat lots north of Ventura Boulevard commonly allow large additions under the Baseline Mansionization Ordinance; lots south of the boulevard are hillside with additional rules. Many homes are mid-century ranches with original systems that get replaced during renovation.
