Playa del Rey Remodeling & Design-Build Contractor

We serve homeowners on the bluffs, in Lower Playa near the beach, and along the streets bordering Westchester and Playa Vista. We handle the full project in one place: design and 3D renderings, a detailed proposal, permits, and construction through the final walkthrough.

Playa del Rey is part of the City of Los Angeles, but its location by the coast adds a few extra steps. Planning for them early keeps the schedule on track.
Coastal Zone review
Much of Playa del Rey sits in the California Coastal Zone. Depending on location and scope, an addition or a new ADU may need coastal clearance before building permits are issued. We check this at the feasibility stage.
Hillside and bluff lots
Homes on the bluffs often sit on sloped lots, which can mean hillside rules, soils reports and engineered foundations. We bring in the right engineers early so there are no surprises in plan check.
ADUs and garage conversions
A detached ADU, a garage conversion or a unit above the garage can add rental income or space for family. We handle feasibility, design, permits and construction.
Salt air and materials
Living near the ocean means more moisture and salt in the air. We choose exterior materials, fasteners, windows and finishes that hold up in a coastal climate.

Verified Google ReviewPlaya del Rey Remodeling Questions
Do you handle permits in Playa del Rey?
Yes. Playa del Rey is in the City of Los Angeles, so most projects go through LADBS. If your property is in the Coastal Zone, we also handle the coastal review. We prepare the drawings and 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 Playa del Rey?
In most cases, yes. State law allows ADUs and JADUs on most single-family lots, but Coastal Zone rules, setbacks and slope can 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.
