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 West Los Angeles
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 West Los Angeles specifically.
Post-war housing stock
A lot of West LA homes were built between 1945–1970 and still have original electrical service, single-pane windows, and galvanized plumbing. We plan to address those during a kitchen or bath remodel since the walls are open.
LA City permit reality
West LA falls under LADBS (LA Department of Building and Safety). Plan check timelines run 4–10 weeks for structural work, faster for cosmetic remodels. We pull permits in-house.
Lot-line constraints
Many West LA lots are 50'×130' or similar — tight for ADU additions. We design around setbacks rather than fight them, and propose attached or JADU options when detached doesn't pencil.
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.

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.
Do you do projects under $100k? +
Yes. Single-bath remodels, kitchen refreshes, garage conversions — all routinely under $100k.
Can you handle older home surprises (knob-and-tube, galvanized pipes)? +
Yes — we test and plan for them up front rather than discover them mid-project. Older-home contingency is a built-in budget line on West LA jobs.
