Built for Agoura Hills Homes
Many backyards here back onto something protected: an oak grove, a slope, a fuel-modification buffer at the edge of the Santa Monica Mountains. That shapes the work. Pool shells get sited around root protection zones instead of through them, outdoor kitchens get non-combustible cladding, and grading is kept close to natural contour.
We plan Agoura Hills projects around the oak survey and the slope map before anyone picks a finish.
A mix of flat tract parcels with modest rear yards near the valley floor and half-acre-plus equestrian and hillside properties with slope, oaks and long driveways in the older ranch areas.
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 .
Permits in Agoura Hills: Residential permits are issued by the City of Agoura Hills Building and Safety Division, with planning and architectural review handled in the same Community Development Department. The City's protected tree regulations (AHMC 9657, updated by Ordinance 25-482 in December 2025) protect every scrub oak regardless of size, plus any oak, California sycamore or Southern California black walnut measuring six inches or more at 4.5 feet above grade.
The tree protection zone starts five feet outside the dripline and is never less than 15 feet from the trunk, so grading, trenching or paving inside it requires a protected tree permit. Parcels in or partly in a designated hillside area need architectural review approval or a conditional use permit before a building or grading permit can issue.
CAL FIRE's March 2025 local responsibility area maps place the large majority of the city in high or very high fire hazard severity zones, which drives defensible space and exterior material requirements.
Permit details checked September 2026 against Agoura Hills Municipal Code and City of Agoura Hills . Rules change, so we confirm them again for your parcel.

Local Conditions
What to Know in Agoura Hills
These local conditions change the scope, the schedule and the budget.
01
Decomposed granite and clay-rich hillside soils vary sharply within a single parcel, so pool shells and detached structure foundations usually need a project-specific soils report rather than a standard detail.
02
Mature coast live oaks sit close to houses, and their tree protection zones begin five feet outside the dripline and are never less than 15 feet from the trunk, which pushes excavation, trenching and equipment staging away from the canopy.
03
Sloping rear yards mean retaining walls and deepened footings are often the first line item on a backyard budget rather than an upgrade.
04
Fuel-modification requirements along the wildland edge shape plant palettes, decking material and any shade structure inside the defensible-space band.

The Process
How We Work in Agoura Hills
01
Scope & Survey
We measure the existing space, check what is structural, and confirm where plumbing and electrical actually run.
02
Design & 3D
Layouts, elevations and finish selections, modeled in 3D so you approve the room before demolition.
03
Plans & Permits
Structural, electrical and Title 24 documentation prepared and submitted where the scope requires a permit. In Agoura Hills that submittal goes to City of Agoura Hills Community Development Department, Building and Safety Division.
04
Demolition
Controlled demolition with dust containment and protected pathways through the rest of the house.
05
Rough & Inspection
Framing, plumbing, electrical and HVAC rough-in, then inspection before anything is closed up.
06
Finishes & Handover
Cabinetry, surfaces, tile, fixtures and paint, then a punch-list walkthrough before we leave.
Questions
What Agoura Hills Homeowners Ask
Who issues the permits for this work in Agoura Hills?
City of Agoura Hills Community Development Department, Building and Safety Division. Residential permits are issued by the City of Agoura Hills Building and Safety Division, with planning and architectural review handled in the same Community Development Department.
The City's protected tree regulations (AHMC 9657, updated by Ordinance 25-482 in December 2025) protect every scrub oak regardless of size, plus any oak, California sycamore or Southern California black walnut measuring six inches or more at 4.5 feet above grade.
The tree protection zone starts five feet outside the dripline and is never less than 15 feet from the trunk, so grading, trenching or paving inside it requires a protected tree permit. Parcels in or partly in a designated hillside area need architectural review approval or a conditional use permit before a building or grading permit can issue.
CAL FIRE's March 2025 local responsibility area maps place the large majority of the city in high or very high fire hazard severity zones, which drives defensible space and exterior material requirements. 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 Agoura Hills different?
A mix of flat tract parcels with modest rear yards near the valley floor and half-acre-plus equestrian and hillside properties with slope, oaks and long driveways in the older ranch areas. One local condition that shapes the work: Decomposed granite and clay-rich hillside soils vary sharply within a single parcel, so pool shells and detached structure foundations usually need a project-specific soils report rather than a standard detail.
Which parts of Agoura Hills do you work in?
All of it, including Old Agoura, Morrison Ranch, Lake Lindero and Liberty Canyon. Our crews run every job out of our Cahuenga Pass base in Los Angeles, with our own people on site.
What does a kitchen, bath or interior remodel cost in Agoura Hills?
Kitchen remodel: generally $45,000 to $150,000+ across Southern California. What moves it is cabinetry (stock, semi-custom or custom), countertop material, appliance package, and whether walls, plumbing or electrical are moving. We give line-item pricing after seeing the site rather than quoting a number over the phone.
How long does a kitchen remodel take?
A like-for-like kitchen replacement usually runs six to ten weeks on site. Moving walls, relocating plumbing or reworking the electrical panel pushes that to twelve to sixteen weeks, and custom cabinetry lead times often set the schedule rather than the construction itself.
Can we live in the house during the work?
For a single bathroom or one kitchen, usually yes, and we set up containment and protected walkways to make that workable. For a whole-home interior remodel most clients move out, because the dust, noise and utility shutdowns are genuinely disruptive.
Do I need a permit for an interior remodel?
Replacing cabinets, counters and finishes in the same layout generally does not. Moving or removing walls, changing plumbing or electrical, or altering windows does. We confirm the permit path before pricing so there is no surprise mid-project.
What usually gets found during demolition?
On homes built before the 1980s the common finds are undersized electrical, galvanized supply lines, missing shear bracing and water damage behind tile. We carry a contingency line for this and price the repair openly rather than absorbing it into a vague allowance.
