Brentwood, Los Angeles
General contractor in Brentwood
Brentwood is where we have built two complete ground-up homes — a modern hillside house on Boca de Canon and a traditional estate on Cliffwood Avenue. We know the canyon access constraints, the haul route process, and how long plan check actually takes on this side of the 405.

What we build in Brentwood
Custom home building
Ground-up homes on flat and hillside Brentwood lots — demolition, shoring, foundations, framing, and finish under one contract.
Kitchen remodeling
Open-plan kitchens carved out of closed mid-century floor plans, with engineered beams where walls come out.
Bathroom remodeling
Primary suites with slab stone, curbless showers, and waterproofing detailed for second-floor installations.
Whole-home renovation
Down-to-studs renovations with new electrical, plumbing, HVAC, windows, and seismic upgrades.
Brentwood housing stock
Brentwood ranges from flat lots in Brentwood Glen and the Cliffwood area to steep canyon parcels in Mandeville and Sullivan Canyon. Many mid-century houses here are being taken to the studs or replaced entirely, which means demolition, new foundations, and full system replacement rather than cosmetic work.
Permitting in Brentwood
Brentwood is City of Los Angeles, so permits run through LADBS with the West LA district office. Hillside parcels fall under the Baseline Hillside Ordinance, which limits floor area and requires haul route approval for large excavations. We handle plan check, grading permits, and inspections directly.

Brentwood questions we get asked
- Have you built in Brentwood before?
- Yes — two complete ground-up homes. Boca de Canon is a modern hillside house with a pool terrace and book-matched stone; Cliffwood Avenue is a traditional estate built from bare dirt. Both galleries are on our projects page.
- What is the Baseline Hillside Ordinance and does it affect my lot?
- It caps buildable floor area and grading quantities on hillside-zoned lots in the City of LA. If your parcel is hillside-zoned it affects size, height, and export volume, and large excavations need a haul route approved by the Board of Building and Safety.
- How long does a ground-up custom home take in Brentwood?
- Plan an initial 8-14 months for design and permitting, then roughly 14-20 months of construction for a typical Brentwood house. Hillside sites with shoring and haul routes sit at the longer end.
- Can you work around canyon access limitations?
- Yes. On narrow canyon streets we stage deliveries, limit simultaneous trades, and coordinate crew parking so the road stays passable for neighbors and emergency access.
