Built for Encino Homes
Encino is built for estate-scale backyards. The Amestoy Avenue and Royal Oak Road areas have some of Encino's largest lots: many along Amestoy approach or exceed half an acre, and most around Royal Oak Road exceed it. Lots like that can genuinely carry a resort program, with pool and spa, a full outdoor kitchen, shade structure and lawn, and still leave room to move.
Up in Encino Hills the brief changes completely, because the view drives the design and the slope drives the schedule.
One of the Valley's true estate markets. Large flat lots north of Ventura Boulevard around Amestoy Avenue, and hillside parcels south of the boulevard, many of half an acre or more, climbing into the Santa Monica Mountains.
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 Encino: Private pools in the City of Los Angeles are permitted through a Combined Building-Mechanical permit, while pools serving more than two dwelling units need separate building, electrical, plumbing and mechanical permits. Using a City of Los Angeles standard plan on file with LADBS reduces plan check time.
Encino Hills properties sit in the Hillside Grading Area and need separate grading permits; many also fall in a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, which affects material and clearance decisions.
Permit details checked September 2026 against LADBS . Rules change, so we confirm them again for your parcel.

Local Conditions
What to Know in Encino
These local conditions change the scope, the schedule and the budget.
01
Lots in the Amestoy Avenue area north of Ventura Boulevard are large and flat, which suits resort-scale backyards with room for pool, spa, kitchen and sport court; lots around Royal Oak Road are larger still, but they sit in the Hillside Grading Area and a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone
02
Encino Hills parcels are steep and view-oriented, so retaining and drainage lead the build
03
Deep lots frequently allow a detached ADU alongside a full backyard build without crowding the yard

The Process
How We Work in Encino
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 Encino that submittal goes to Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety (LADBS).
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 Encino Homeowners Ask
Who issues the permits for this work in Encino?
Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety (LADBS). Private pools in the City of Los Angeles are permitted through a Combined Building-Mechanical permit, while pools serving more than two dwelling units need separate building, electrical, plumbing and mechanical permits.
Using a City of Los Angeles standard plan on file with LADBS reduces plan check time. Encino Hills properties sit in the Hillside Grading Area and need separate grading permits; many also fall in a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, which affects material and clearance decisions.
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 Encino different?
One of the Valley's true estate markets. Large flat lots north of Ventura Boulevard around Amestoy Avenue, and hillside parcels south of the boulevard, many of half an acre or more, climbing into the Santa Monica Mountains. One local condition that shapes the work: Lots in the Amestoy Avenue area north of Ventura Boulevard are large and flat, which suits resort-scale backyards with room for pool, spa, kitchen and sport court; lots around Royal Oak Road are larger still, but they sit in the Hillside Grading Area and a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone.
Which parts of Encino do you work in?
All of it, including Encino Hills, Amestoy Avenue and Royal Oak Road. 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 Encino?
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.
