Building And Remodeling In Granada Hills
Granada Hills sits at the northern edge of the Valley below the Santa Susana Mountains. It is known for generous lots and mid-century homes, including the Balboa Highlands tract of Eichler houses.
Room To Grow
Larger lots make Granada Hills one of the best places in the Valley to add living space without giving up the garden, and it is where two of our completed ADUs stand.
- Detached ADUs in rear yards
- Garage conversions
- Single-storey and second-story additions
- Kitchen remodels
- Whole-home renovations
Mid-Century Character
Low rooflines, post-and-beam construction and large panes of glass are part of what buyers love here. Additions and remodels should respect that rather than fight it.
Matching The Original
Roof pitch, window proportions and exterior materials are designed to sit comfortably with the existing house.
Updating What Is Inside
Electrical panels, plumbing and insulation in older houses are often upgraded as part of a remodel, and it is far cheaper to do while the walls are open.

Historic Overlay And ADUs
Parts of the neighbourhood, including the Balboa Highlands Eichler tract, sit within a Historic Preservation Overlay Zone, which adds design review for exterior changes.

Planning A Project In Granada Hills
Granada Hills lots often have more room than homeowners realise, which makes the order of projects an important early decision.
ADU First Or Addition First?
If you want both an ADU and more space in the main house, planning them together lets utilities, access and setbacks work for both. Our two completed ADUs in the neighbourhood show what a rear-yard unit can look like on a typical lot.
Respecting The Neighbourhood
For Eichler and other mid-century homes, the details that matter are rooflines, glazing and exterior materials. Inside an overlay zone, exterior changes go through design review, so we allow time for it in the schedule.
Updating The Systems
Older electrical panels and plumbing are often upgraded during a remodel. Doing it while the walls are open is far cheaper than doing it later.

General Contractor In Granada Hills: Common Questions
Have you built ADUs in Granada Hills?
Yes. We have completed two ADUs in Granada Hills, and both are in our project gallery along with a kitchen remodel in the neighbourhood.
Who issues permits in Granada Hills?
Granada Hills is part of the City of Los Angeles, so permits are issued by the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety. We prepare the plans and handle corrections and inspections.
My house is an Eichler. Does that change anything?
It can. Parts of the neighbourhood, such as Balboa Highlands, sit in a Historic Preservation Overlay Zone with design review for exterior changes. We check whether your address is affected during discovery.
How long does a project take?
Permit review typically takes around six to fourteen weeks. Garage-conversion ADUs typically take three to five months to build, and detached ADUs or major additions five to eight months.
Why hire a design-build general contractor in Granada Hills?
A design-build general contractor in Granada Hills designs, permits and builds under one contract, so the people pricing the project are the same people who drew it.
Can I have both an ADU and an addition on my Granada Hills lot?
Often, yes, because many lots here are generous. Planning both together lets utilities, access and setbacks work for each, even if you build them in separate phases.
Do you replace old electrical panels during a remodel?
When the existing panel cannot support the new work, yes. Many older Valley homes need a service upgrade for a new kitchen, an ADU or central air, and we include it in the plans so it is permitted and inspected with everything else.
