Altadena
Renovations, ADUs & Custom Builds
Altadena is unincorporated, so permits run through Los Angeles County rather than a city building department — a different process with different timelines. We have carried ground-up ADUs through it.
Your Altadena design-build contractor
Craftsman, Spanish, and mid-century homes on generous lots against the foothills, where character-sensitive renovation and detached ADUs are both common.
Every Altadena project we take on is fully permitted, inspected, and warrantied — with permits issued by Los Angeles County (unincorporated). You get one contract covering design, engineering, permits, and construction, an itemized proposal before demo begins, and a dedicated project manager who answers the phone.

Altadena FAQ
Do you actually work in Altadena?
Yes — Altadena is inside our core service area and we work there regularly. Our office is at 20501 Ventura Blvd #135 in Woodland Hills, so crews and project managers reach Altadena easily, which matters for site supervision and schedule reliability.
Who issues building permits for a Altadena project?
Permits for work in Altadena are issued by Los Angeles County (unincorporated). We prepare the drawings, submit for plan check, and coordinate every inspection through final sign-off, so you never deal with the counter yourself.
Can I build an ADU in Altadena?
In most cases yes. California ADU law applies statewide, and both garage conversions and detached ground-up units are generally permitted on single-family lots, subject to local standards. We run a feasibility review on your specific parcel before you spend anything on design.
How long does a Altadena project take?
It depends on scope: bathrooms typically run three to five weeks of construction, kitchens six to ten, and whole-home renovations four to nine months plus plan-check time. You get a stage-by-stage schedule with your itemized proposal.
Do you provide a written, itemized quote?
Always. After walking the property we provide a detailed line-item proposal so you can see exactly where the budget goes and adjust scope before committing. Consultations in Altadena are free and carry no obligation.
