Built for Palos Verdes Estates Homes
Two separate approvals, and neither substitutes for the other. The City reviews zoning, setbacks, coverage, grading and structural safety; the Palos Verdes Homes Association Art Jury reviews architectural design, and it has done so since 1923.
Any change to a property's exterior appearance, from new construction and remodels to repainting, re-roofing or replacing windows and doors, needs Art Jury approval alongside the City permit. We design to both standards from day one so nothing has to be redrawn later.
Large by coastal standards, with generous frontages, mature landscaping and a high proportion of sloped or canyon-backed sites.
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 Palos Verdes Estates: The City's Building and Safety Department, working alongside the Planning Department at City Hall on Palos Verdes Drive West, issues residential building permits. Exterior work also requires approval from the Art Jury of the Palos Verdes Homes Association, an architectural review body operating since 1923 that reviews all plans affecting the exterior appearance of structures and properties, including new construction, remodels, repainting, re-roofing and window and door replacement. City approval does not substitute for it.

Local Conditions
What to Know in Palos Verdes Estates
These local conditions change the scope, the schedule and the budget.
01
Peninsula bedrock and bentonite-bearing formations underlie much of the area, so geotechnical findings drive pool shell, retaining and foundation design more than architecture does.
02
Narrow curving streets with limited on-street parking make haul routes and equipment sizing an early planning conversation rather than an afterthought.
03
Many parcels slope away from the street toward a canyon or the ocean, turning level outdoor living into terracing and structural decking.
04
Established view relationships between neighbors and mature landscape screening limit how tall a shade structure, pergola or raised spa can reasonably be.

The Process
How We Work in Palos Verdes Estates
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 Palos Verdes Estates that submittal goes to City of Palos Verdes Estates Building and Safety Department.
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 Palos Verdes Estates Homeowners Ask
Who issues the permits for this work in Palos Verdes Estates?
City of Palos Verdes Estates Building and Safety Department. The City's Building and Safety Department, working alongside the Planning Department at City Hall on Palos Verdes Drive West, issues residential building permits. Exterior work also requires approval from the Art Jury of the Palos Verdes Homes Association, an architectural review body operating since 1923 that reviews all plans affecting the exterior appearance of structures and properties, including new construction, remodels, repainting, re-roofing and window and door replacement.
City approval does not substitute for it. 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 Palos Verdes Estates different?
Large by coastal standards, with generous frontages, mature landscaping and a high proportion of sloped or canyon-backed sites. One local condition that shapes the work: Peninsula bedrock and bentonite-bearing formations underlie much of the area, so geotechnical findings drive pool shell, retaining and foundation design more than architecture does.
Which parts of Palos Verdes Estates do you work in?
All of it, including Malaga Cove and Lunada Bay. 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 Palos Verdes Estates?
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.
