Culver City Remodeling & Design-Build Contractor
Design-Build Remodeling in Culver City
Optima Design & Build is a Westside-based licensed general contractor serving Culver City homeowners in Carlson Park, Culver Crest, Blair Hills, Sunkist Park, Fox Hills, Clarkdale and beyond. We handle the full project in one place: design and 3D renderings, a detailed proposal, city permits, and construction through the final walkthrough.
Many Culver City homes are 1940s and 1950s houses with solid bones but small kitchens, dated baths and limited space. We open up layouts, add square footage with additions and ADUs, and bring older systems up to code. We recently completed a full bathroom remodel right here in Culver City.

What to Know Before You Remodel in Culver City
A Culver City address doesn't always mean the City of Culver City. Knowing who has jurisdiction, and what they require, is the first step.
The right permit office
Culver City has its own Building Safety and Planning divisions, separate from the City of Los Angeles, and some homes with a Culver City mailing address are actually in L.A. We confirm jurisdiction first and submit to the right department.
Additions and second stories
Growing families often add a bedroom, a primary suite or a second story. We design additions that fit setbacks and height limits and blend with the original house.
ADUs and garage conversions
A detached ADU or garage conversion is a popular way to add rental income or space for family. We handle feasibility, design, permits and construction.
Older homes, hidden conditions
Homes from the 1940s and 1950s often have outdated wiring, galvanized plumbing, and lead or asbestos in older materials. We test where needed and price it upfront.

Verified Google ReviewCulver City Remodeling Questions
Do you handle permits in Culver City?
Yes. We confirm whether your address is in Culver City or the City of Los Angeles, prepare the drawings, and submit to the right department. We manage the process through final inspection.
How long does a kitchen or bathroom remodel take?
Construction for most bathrooms takes about 3 to 8 weeks and most kitchens about 5 to 10 weeks, depending on scope. Design and permits come before that. We give you a project timeline with the proposal.
Can I build an ADU in Culver City?
In most cases, yes. State law allows ADUs and JADUs on most single-family lots, but setbacks, lot size and utilities affect what fits. We check feasibility on your property before design starts.
How much will my remodel cost?
It depends on size, layout changes and finishes. After the on-site consultation and 3D design, we give you a ballpark range, and then a detailed proposal so you know the cost before work begins.
