Luxury Remodeling in La Habra

La Habra's name, which the General Plan translates as a pass through the hills, goes back to the Portola expedition of 1769, and the city fills the basin between the Puente Hills to the north and the Coyote Hills to the south. Most of it is gently rolling valley floor on a street grid, where a backyard plan is shaped less by grade than by setbacks, the 1,000-square-foot usable yard rule and the ten feet a side-yard pool pump must keep from a neighbor's window. The southwest corner reads differently: Westridge and the La Habra Hills Specific Plan area sit around the Westridge Golf Club on the southern hillsides, and the General Plan maps the land between the club and the city limits as a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone. There, slope position, soils and ember exposure decide where a pool or a detached ADU can go.

In the R-1a, R-1b and R-1c single-unit zones the minimum lot area is 10,000, 7,200 and 5,500 square feet per home. Each home must also keep 1,000 square feet of usable yard, at least 15 feet across except for up to half of it at 12 feet, graded no steeper than five percent and free of parking, driveways and accessory buildings. Up on the southern hillsides, the General Plan counts the area near Westridge among the wealthiest in La Habra.

One team designs, permits and builds every project, and our own crews self-perform the work, so the people who plan your La Habra project are the people on site building it.
