Built for Hollywood Hills Homes

The Hollywood Hills is the most technically demanding work we do, and it is effectively our home turf: our base sits at Cahuenga Pass, inside the same hills. These are engineering projects before they are design projects. Caissons, retaining, access and haul routes get resolved first, and the reward is the kind of elevated, view-forward pool that is simply not possible on a flat lot.

Steep, view-first parcels where structure and access drive both the schedule and the budget. This is the most engineering-heavy work we do, and it is on our doorstep.

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 Hollywood Hills: 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.

Nearly all of the Hollywood Hills sits in the Hillside Grading Area under the Baseline Hillside Ordinance, and much of it is in a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone. Grading needs its own LADBS grading permit, and import or export of more than 1,000 cubic yards also needs a haul route approved by the Board of Building and Safety Commissioners after a public hearing.

Large parts of the area also fall inside a Hillside Construction Regulation district, which adds grading, hauling and construction-hour limits.

Permit details checked September 2026 against LADBS and City of Los Angeles . Rules change, so we confirm them again for your parcel.

The Process

How We Work in Hollywood 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 Hollywood Hills 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 Hollywood Hills Homeowners Ask

Who issues the permits for this work in Hollywood Hills?

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. Nearly all of the Hollywood Hills sits in the Hillside Grading Area under the Baseline Hillside Ordinance, and much of it is in a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone.

Grading needs its own LADBS grading permit, and import or export of more than 1,000 cubic yards also needs a haul route approved by the Board of Building and Safety Commissioners after a public hearing. Large parts of the area also fall inside a Hillside Construction Regulation district, which adds grading, hauling and construction-hour limits.

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 Hollywood Hills different?

Steep, view-first parcels where structure and access drive both the schedule and the budget. This is the most engineering-heavy work we do, and it is on our doorstep. One local condition that shapes the work: Steep parcels usually require caissons and engineered retaining before a pool shell can be formed.

Which parts of Hollywood Hills do you work in?

All of it, including Hollywood Heights, Nichols Canyon, Laurel Canyon and Outpost Estates. 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 Hollywood 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.
