When the whole home needs to come together — open up the floor plan, redo the kitchen and baths, add a primary suite, refinish floors, modernize systems — coordination is everything. We do whole-home remodels with a single project manager, a single design vision, and a single construction team. No handoffs between three different contractors. Onn personally runs every full-home project.
Every neighborhood has its own architectural character, permit jurisdiction, and finish-level expectations. Here's how we approach whole-home remodeling in Brentwood specifically.
LADBS handles Brentwood. Hillside-zone properties (most of north of Sunset) trigger additional grading and slope-stability review. Plan check timelines: 6–10 weeks for kitchens, 8–14 weeks for hillside structural work.
Brentwood Village lots run 50'×130' typical, while hillside lots are larger but constrained by slope. ADU additions are feasible in both but the design approach is very different. We assess feasibility before promising scope.
Brentwood clients typically expect upper-mid to high-end finishes — slab counters, custom cabinetry, Bosch/Wolf-tier appliances. We source through trade channels to keep finish quality high without unnecessary markup.
South-Brentwood post-war tract homes often need primarily cosmetic remodels — kitchen, baths, flooring, paint — without major structural changes. North-Brentwood hillside homes more often need structural work: foundation, roof, seismic, additions. The two profiles run different timelines, scopes, and budgets. We diagnose which profile a project belongs to in the first scope meeting rather than applying a single full-home template to both.
A meaningful share of Brentwood full-home clients live in the home during renovation rather than renting elsewhere, which requires careful phasing. We sequence by zone — one wing at a time, kitchen last, secondary baths timed against primary-bath availability — so habitable space is always available.
Brentwood family clients commonly want kitchen and primary-bath work concentrated during summer break to avoid disruption to school-year routine. We build the schedule around June-August disruptive phases and reserve September-May for finish work, secondary spaces, and landscape. The pattern is consistent enough across the family-with-school-kids client subset that we plan for it by default and adjust when the client tells us otherwise.
Site walkthrough, structural assessment, what's realistic given your home's bones and your budget. We tell you what won't work before you fall in love with it.
Full plans, structural engineering, energy compliance, permit submittals. Multi-room remodels almost always need a permit; we manage the process.
Wall removal, beam installation, foundation repair if needed, electrical service upgrade, HVAC, plumbing main runs, roof if relevant.
All the remodeling skills we bring to single-room projects, applied at scale. Cabinetry, tile, fixtures, finishes — coordinated across rooms for design consistency.
Weekly site meetings, milestone-based payment schedule, transparent change-order process. You always know where the project stands.
Typical LA whole-home remodel range. Lower end = cosmetic refresh + kitchen/bath. Higher end = structural redesign, primary suite addition, full systems modernization, and high-end finishes.
LA Department of Building and Safety (LADBS) handles permits. Hillside-zone properties require additional review. Plan check typically 6–10 weeks for kitchens, longer for structural or hillside work.

Cosmetic-level projects: 3–4 months. Heavy-structural projects (wall removal, primary suite addition, systems upgrade): 8–14 months. We give you a real timeline up front, not the optimistic one.
For most full-home remodels — yes, at least for the heaviest construction phase. We'll plan around your tenancy as much as possible, but living through wall removal and re-plumbing is rough on most families.
Yes. The flat-lot homes are some of our favorite to work on — older bones, charming proportions, room to upgrade systems while preserving character.
Older hillside Brentwood homes occasionally have settled or stepped foundations that affect remodel plans. We bring in licensed structural engineers during design to assess before scope is locked.
