Whole-Home Remodeling in Los Angeles in Mar Vista
Serving 90066 and Venice, Palms, Culver City
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.
Whole-Home Remodeling in Los Angeles specifically for Mar Vista
Every neighborhood has its own architectural character, permit jurisdiction, and finish-level expectations. Here's how we approach whole-home remodeling in los angeles in Mar Vista specifically.
Mid-century home stock
Mar Vista homes are predominantly 1945–1965 builds. Original electrical service is often 100-amp and needs upgrade. Galvanized supply pipes are common. Single-pane windows, knob-and-tube wiring sometimes lurking. We plan for these during any kitchen or bath remodel.
ADU opportunities
Many Mar Vista lots are 50'×140' or larger — good fits for detached ADUs of 800–1,200 sq ft. Conversion of 1-car garages to JADUs is also common. State ADU laws strongly support these projects in Mar Vista.
Neighborhood character
Mar Vista has an active community council and many homeowners value preserving mid-century character. We design remodels that respect this — modern function, period-appropriate aesthetic.
What we handle
Discovery & feasibility
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.
Architectural design & permits
Full plans, structural engineering, energy compliance, permit submittals. Multi-room remodels almost always need a permit; we manage the process.
Structural & systems work
Wall removal, beam installation, foundation repair if needed, electrical service upgrade, HVAC, plumbing main runs, roof if relevant.
Kitchens, baths, and finishes
All the remodeling skills we bring to single-room projects, applied at scale. Cabinetry, tile, fixtures, finishes — coordinated across rooms for design consistency.
Project management
Weekly site meetings, milestone-based payment schedule, transparent change-order process. You always know where the project stands.
Pricing in Mar Vista
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.
LADBS handles Mar Vista permits. Standard plan check timelines (4–10 weeks) for kitchens. ADU projects benefit from state-level ministerial approval where applicable.
Frequently asked
How long does a whole-home remodel take? +
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.
Do we need to move out? +
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.
Older home surprises — how often do they come up? +
In Mar Vista, frequently. Most pre-1970s homes here have at least one of: knob-and-tube wiring, galvanized pipes, or asbestos floor tile under the linoleum. We test for hazardous materials before demo and budget contingency.
Can I add an ADU on my Mar Vista lot? +
In most cases, yes. We do a feasibility check up front — setbacks, height limits, utility access, soil. We tell you whether a detached ADU pencils or whether a JADU conversion makes more sense.
