SANTA MONICA REMODELING.

Santa Monica runs its own building department with a permit timeline that runs alongside LADBS but on a separate clock. North of Montana and the streets above Wilshire frequently fall under Coastal Commission jurisdiction. Salt-air corrosion, marine-grade fasteners, and copper or stainless flashings show up as defaults rather than upgrades. Older Sunset Park and Ocean Park bungalows (1920s–1940s) need full MEP work in any meaningful remodel.

Santa Monica permitting routes through City of Santa Monica + Coastal Commission (north of Wilshire). We submit drawings the first time the way the local department wants them — clean drawings reduce plan-check rounds and keep the schedule honest.

Common architectural styles in Santa Monica: Spanish Colonial Revival, Craftsman Bungalow, Mid-Century Modern, Contemporary, Cape Cod.

From kitchen and bathroom remodels to whole-home renovations, decorative finishes, and outdoor living, we bring the full Forma Homes scope to every Santa Monica project — managed by us, not by you.
