What makes whole-home remodeling different in Hollywood Hills
Hollywood Hills covers the canyons north of Sunset — Laurel, Coldwater, Beachwood, and Outpost Estates. Hillside ordinance applies to almost every parcel. The housing mix is heavily mid-century moderns and contemporary view-driven builds, with plenty of 1950s and 1960s post-and-beam homes. Caissons, retaining walls, fire-zone defensible space, and hillside drainage shape every project.
Hillside parcels in Hollywood Hills carry their own engineering load. Drainage, retaining-wall design, caissons where pools or major additions are part of the scope, and fire-zone defensible-space requirements all shape how a whole-home remodeling project gets sequenced. We coordinate hillside engineering at the design phase, not at construction.
Hollywood Hills runs its own permitting through LADBS (with hillside ordinance). Plan-check timelines run on a separate clock from LADBS. We've worked through the local department often enough to know what their reviewers flag and what they wave through, so we submit the right drawing set the first time.
Common architecture in Hollywood Hills: Mid-Century Modern, Contemporary, Modern. We design hillside renovations to honor what's already there while bringing systems and finishes up to current code and current standards.

Whole-Home Remodeling in Hollywood Hills — Frequently Asked Questions
Timeline depends on scope. A comprehensive interior renovation typically takes 3–5 months. A ground-up rebuild with structural work can take 8–14 months.
For gut renovations, yes — we recommend temporary relocation for safety and efficiency. For phased renovations, you may be able to stay in portions of the home.
Absolutely. We collaborate with architects, designers, and engineers. We also have trusted partners we can recommend if you need one.
Interior refreshes typically run $150K – $350K, major whole-home remodels $350K – $800K, and ground-up or structural projects $800K – $2M+. Square footage, structural scope, MEP, and finish level drive the range.
Most whole-home projects run 6 – 14 months from contract to closeout. Light refreshes can finish in 4 – 6 months; heavy structural and design-build scopes can extend to 18+ months.
Yes. We can lead design, engineering, permitting, and construction under one team, or we can build to drawings from an outside architect or designer.
Sometimes. For phased remodels we isolate work zones and protect the rest of the home, but heavy structural or whole-floor scopes generally call for the home to be vacated for portions of the build.
We define allowances explicitly in the contract for items still being selected (tile, plumbing fixtures, lighting, hardware) and document any change in scope through a written change order before the work proceeds.
Before construction starts we recommend confirming long-term goals for the home, identifying must-keep finishes, gathering inspiration images, locking the budget tier, and reviewing the schedule and decant plan with the team.
