On the flat park-district streets we work around mature protected sycamores and oaks whose root zones decide where a pool shell can land. Up in Mandeville, Kenter and Sullivan canyons, single-lane roads and fire-zone construction requirements drive the schedule, and exporting more than 1,000 cubic yards of soil from a hillside grading area requires a haul route approved at a public hearing. We price both realities separately. Broad, level, deeply landscaped lots in the flat park district, transitioning to long, narrow canyon parcels with steep side slopes and single-lane frontage. We are a design-build team, which means the people who draw your project are the people who build it. Design, engineering, permits and construction run through one project manager and our own crews, so nothing gets lost in a handoff between a salesperson and a subcontractor. We are licensed, bonded and insured, [CSLB license #1119054](https://www.cslb.ca.gov/OnlineServices/CheckLicenseII/LicenseDetail.aspx?LicNum=1119054) . Permits in Brentwood: Permits are issued by LADBS, since this is part of the City of Los Angeles rather than a separate city. Hillside lots north of Sunset fall under the Baseline Hillside Ordinance (No. 184,802) for height, floor area and grading limits, and import or export of more than 1,000 cubic yards in a hillside grading area triggers a haul route hearing before the Board of Building and Safety Commissioners. The canyons are mapped Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, which brings Chapter 7A ignition-resistant construction and brush clearance obligations. The city's protected tree and shrub ordinance (No. 186,873) covers oak, western sycamore, Southern California black walnut and California bay laurel, plus toyon and Mexican elderberry.

Questions #### What Brentwood Homeowners Ask Who issues the permits for this work in Brentwood? Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety (LADBS). Permits are issued by LADBS, since this is part of the City of Los Angeles rather than a separate city. Hillside lots north of Sunset fall under the Baseline Hillside Ordinance (No. 184,802) for height, floor area and grading limits, and import or export of more than 1,000 cubic yards in a hillside grading area triggers a haul route hearing before the Board of Building and Safety Commissioners.

The city's protected tree and shrub ordinance (No. 186,873) covers oak, western sycamore, Southern California black walnut and California bay laurel, plus toyon and Mexican elderberry. We prepare the drawings, make the submittal and handle plan-check corrections ourselves, so you are not the one chasing plan check. What makes building in Brentwood different? Broad, level, deeply landscaped lots in the flat park district, transitioning to long, narrow canyon parcels with steep side slopes and single-lane frontage. One local condition that shapes the work: Flat park-district lots carry mature sycamores, oaks and walnuts whose protected root zones frequently dictate where a pool shell, footings and utility trenching can go. Which parts of Brentwood do you work in? All of it, including Brentwood Park, Mandeville Canyon, Kenter Canyon and Sullivan Canyon. Our crews run every job out of our Cahuenga Pass base in Los Angeles, with our own people on site. What does a pool or spa project cost in Brentwood? New pool construction: generally $70,000 to $150,000+ across Southern California. What moves it is size and shape, spa, water and fire features, decking material, automation, and how much access and grading the site needs. We give line-item pricing after seeing the site rather than quoting a number over the phone. How long does a pool remodel take? A straightforward replaster with new tile and coping usually runs three to five weeks. A full remodel that includes new decking, equipment and features typically runs eight to twelve weeks. Site access and permit timing are the two things that move that most. How long does a new pool take to build? Most new pool builds run about three to five months from permit to first swim. Hillside sites that need engineered retaining or difficult access sit at the longer end of that range. Should I replaster or fully remodel? If the shell and plumbing are sound and you only dislike the surface, replastering with new tile and coping is the efficient choice. If the equipment is aging, the deck is cracked or the shape no longer suits how you use the yard, a full remodel costs less than doing it in two separate phases. Do you self-perform the work? Yes. Our own crews handle the build rather than passing it to a rotating set of subs, which is why the schedule and the finish standard stay consistent. #### More Services in Brentwood [Backyard & Outdoor Living in Brentwood](https://www.remodelyourvibe.com/services/exterior-remodeling/brentwood) [ADUs & Additions in Brentwood](https://www.remodelyourvibe.com/services/adus-additions/brentwood) [Kitchen, Bath & Interior Remodeling in Brentwood](https://www.remodelyourvibe.com/services/interior-remodeling/brentwood) [Plans, Permits & Design in Brentwood](https://www.remodelyourvibe.com/services/plans-permits/brentwood) [Everything we build in Brentwood](https://www.remodelyourvibe.com/service-areas/brentwood) #### Pool & Spa Remodeling Nearby [Pool & Spa Remodeling in Pacific Palisades](https://www.remodelyourvibe.com/services/swimming-pool-spa/pacific-palisades) [Pool & Spa Remodeling in Santa Monica](https://www.remodelyourvibe.com/services/swimming-pool-spa/santa-monica) [Pool & Spa Remodeling in Bel Air](https://www.remodelyourvibe.com/services/swimming-pool-spa/bel-air) [Pool & Spa Remodeling in Los Angeles](https://www.remodelyourvibe.com/services/swimming-pool-spa/los-angeles) [Pool & Spa Remodeling in Westwood](https://www.remodelyourvibe.com/services/swimming-pool-spa/westwood) Planning Guides #### Before You Build in Brentwood Costs, materials and process notes from our own projects.
