Sylmar General Contractor | Home Remodeling | Construction | ADU
Sylmar General Contractor, we plan, build, and improve residential and commercial properties throughout Sylmar and the northern San Fernando Valley. Our services include remodeling, room additions, ADUs, new construction, concrete foundations and slabs, framing, drywall, roofing, flooring, carpentry, electrical, plumbing, HVAC coordination, and finish work.
Sylmar’s proximity to the historic 1971 magnitude-6.6 San Fernando earthquake makes structural planning and seismic safety especially relevant. Projects may involve architectural drawings, structural engineering, zoning and setback requirements, California Building Code compliance, Title 24 energy standards, LADBS permits, and required inspections.
We provide practical construction solutions based on your property, goals, budget, and timeline. From pre-construction planning and demolition to foundation work, framing, utility rough-ins, interior finishes, and the final walkthrough, we coordinate each phase with clear communication.
Residential Services
We plan and build residential improvements in Sylmar with attention to permits, structural requirements, durable materials, and project coordination. Our services cover remodeling, additions, conversions, roofing, outdoor living areas, and essential building systems. Depending on the project, work may involve architectural plans, structural engineering, MEP coordination, LADBS plan review, staged inspections, and California energy requirements.
Residential Services
Home Remodeling
We manage whole-home remodeling projects that improve layout, function, and finish quality. Work may include removing walls, relocating doors, replacing windows, installing flooring, and upgrading electrical or plumbing systems.
Before construction, we assess existing conditions using laser levels, moisture meters, stud scanners, and thermal imaging when appropriate. Proposed changes to load-bearing walls, beams, headers, or foundations may require structural engineering. We coordinate plans, permits, subcontractors, inspections, material selections, and a practical construction sequence while protecting occupied areas
Bathroom Remodeling
We renovate bathrooms with attention to moisture control, drainage, ventilation, accessibility, and daily use. Services include showers, tubs, tile, vanities, toilets, lighting, fixtures, and humidity-resistant finishes.
Before closing walls or floors, we check for leaks, damaged framing, outdated wiring, and poor drainage. Waterproofing methods may include bonded membranes, cement backer board, sealed penetrations, properly sloped shower assemblies, and flood testing before tile installation. We can also incorporate grab-bar blocking, low-threshold showers, handheld controls, wider clearances, slip-resistant flooring, and exhaust ventilation ducted outdoors.
Kitchen Remodeling
We remodel kitchens around cooking habits, storage, traffic flow, and available space. Services include cabinets, countertops, backsplashes, flooring, lighting, appliance connections, plumbing changes, and electrical upgrades.
We use digital field measurements, cabinet elevations, countertop templates, and laser layout tools to verify appliance dimensions and utility locations. Planning may address dedicated appliance circuits, GFCI protection, range-hood ducting, shutoff valves, sink ventilation, and undercabinet lighting. Material options include quartz, porcelain tile, hardwood, and water-resistant flooring
ADU Construction
We build accessory dwelling units based on property conditions, intended use, site access, and Los Angeles requirements. An ADU may serve as family housing, guest space, an office, or a long-term rental.
The process may include property-record research, site surveying, zoning review, utility planning, architectural drawings, structural calculations, and Title 24 energy documentation. Construction can involve grading, reinforced foundations, framing, shear walls and hold-downs, roofing, insulation, electrical service, plumbing, heat-pump systems, and final inspections. We evaluate setbacks, lot coverage, access, fire safety, drainage, and utility capacity before work begins.
Garage Conversion
We convert eligible garages into living areas, offices, bedrooms, or studios. Work may include insulation, drywall, flooring, windows, electrical upgrades, climate control, and replacement of the garage door opening.
We assess the slab, ceiling height, framing, ventilation, moisture, and utility capacity. Slab-moisture testing, electrical load calculations, fire-separation assemblies, emergency egress, Title 24 compliance, and smoke and carbon-monoxide alarms may be part of the conversion. A clear layout establishes practical locations for outlets, lighting, storage, heating, cooling, and plumbing before construction begins.
Room Additions
We construct bedrooms, family rooms, offices, laundry rooms, and expanded kitchens that connect properly with the existing home.
Work may involve surveying, excavation, reinforced footings, rebar, anchor bolts, shear walls, roof framing, and structural tie-ins. We also coordinate siding or stucco, windows, insulation, drywall, flooring, and utility extensions. Special attention is given to roof flashing, waterproof transitions, grading, and drainage where new construction meets the existing structure. The schedule accounts for demolition, inspections, weather exposure, and protection of occupied areas.
Roofing
We install, repair, and replace residential roofing after evaluating age, slope, drainage, flashing, and visible damage. Systems may include asphalt shingles, low-slope membranes, underlayment, vents, fascia, and related repairs.
We inspect roof decking, fasteners, drip edges, valleys, step flashing, pipe penetrations, skylights, and roof-to-wall connections. Roof pitch is documented as inches of vertical rise for every 12 inches of horizontal run, helping determine suitable materials and installation methods. We address deteriorated sheathing and moisture entry rather than simply covering the problem.
Flooring
We install tile, luxury vinyl, laminate, engineered wood, hardwood, and carpet based on room use, moisture exposure, and maintenance needs.
Subfloor preparation may include laser-level measurements, concrete moisture or relative-humidity testing, patching, grinding, self-leveling underlayment, and crack-isolation membranes. We plan layouts around cabinets, stairs, appliances, door clearances, and room transitions. Installation details may include expansion gaps, directional layouts, grout-joint spacing, adhesive selection, and manufacturer-required acclimation to reduce movement, uneven surfaces, or premature failure.
Drywall Installation
We install, repair, and finish drywall for new construction, remodeled rooms, additions, and utility access repairs. Work includes hanging panels, fastening, taping, corner treatment, joint compound, sanding, texture matching, and paint preparation.
Material selection may include moisture-resistant gypsum, 5/8-inch Type X panels for applicable fire-rated assemblies, cement board in wet areas, metal or vinyl corner bead, and acoustic insulation. Depending on the finish, walls may receive a Level 4 or Level 5 drywall treatment. We coordinate outlet, vent, cabinet, recessed-light, and access-panel openings before closing the framing.
Why Choose Our Team
We provide general contracting services for homeowners in Sylmar, including kitchen remodeling, bathroom renovations, ADU construction, additions, and full-home improvements. Our local experience helps us plan projects around property conditions, permit requirements, and the needs of Los Angeles homeowners.
We manage each project through clear scopes of work, organized scheduling, and consistent communication. By coordinating design details, materials, subcontractors, inspections, and construction, we give clients one point of contact from planning through completion.
Commercial Services
Office Remodeling
We remodel offices to improve workflow, comfort, acoustics, and professional appearance. Work may include open-plan reconfiguration, private offices, conference rooms, reception areas, flooring, lighting, ceilings, millwork, and interior doors.
Before construction, we coordinate electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and low-voltage systems such as CAT6 data cabling, Wi-Fi access points, audiovisual equipment, access control, and security cameras. Improvements may also include acoustical ceiling tile, sound-rated insulation, demountable partitions, occupancy sensors, and energy-efficient LED lighting.
For occupied offices, we can use phased scheduling, temporary partitions, HEPA-filtered air scrubbers, negative-air equipment, floor protection, and dust-extraction tools to limit disruption.
Retail Store Renovations
We renovate retail spaces with attention to customer circulation, product presentation, storage, accessibility, and staff efficiency. Services include storefront improvements, interior partitions, fitting rooms, counters, stockrooms, flooring, lighting, and finish upgrades.
Planning may incorporate point-of-sale stations, display walls, slatwall systems, merchandise shelving, storefront glazing, security wiring, and dedicated equipment circuits. We also review occupant capacity, accessible routes, door clearances, exit signage, emergency lighting, and restroom access.
Installation may require rotary laser levels, scissor lifts, concrete scanners, and dust-controlled cutting equipment. Durable flooring, impact-resistant wall finishes, and replaceable display components can help manage heavy customer traffic and future merchandising changes.
Medical Office Remodeling
We remodel medical offices with close attention to hygiene, privacy, accessibility, and specialized equipment. Projects may include reception areas, examination rooms, treatment spaces, nurse stations, administrative offices, restrooms, flooring, lighting, and cabinetry.
We coordinate room layouts with plumbing, electrical, HVAC, data, and equipment requirements. Specialized components may include hands-free sinks, solid-surface casework, seamless resilient flooring, coved wall bases, acoustic insulation, dedicated equipment circuits, and lead-lined assemblies for certain imaging rooms.
When practices remain open, work zones may use sealed containment barriers, HEPA air scrubbers, negative-air machines, pressure monitoring, walk-off mats, and scheduled utility shutdowns. We coordinate phased inspections and qualified trades for medical-gas piping, fire protection, nurse-call systems, and specialized ventilation when required by the facility type.

We believe clients should understand what their project involves before work begins. We explain options, identify potential constraints, and document important decisions so homeowners can make informed choices. Our team also adapts its process to the project’s size. Whether we update one room or coordinate a larger renovation, we focus on practical planning, durable materials, and work that meets applicable building requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
We provide our current California contractor license information and license classification upon request. Homeowners can verify the license directly through the California Contractors State License Board before signing a contract.
We recommend comparing license status, relevant experience, insurance, references, written proposals, payment terms, and change-order procedures. Ask whether the contractor has completed projects similar in size, scope, and construction type to yours.
We offer an initial project consultation and can explain whether a no-cost estimate is appropriate for the requested work. Detailed pricing may require a site visit, measurements, plans, engineering, material selections, or permit research.
Our proposal separates labor, materials, allowances, and known exclusions whenever the project information allows. We identify conditions that could change the price before construction begins.
We can coordinate permit applications, required inspections, and subcontractor scheduling when our contract includes those responsibilities. Projects involving electrical, plumbing, structural changes, additions, or ADU construction may require approval from the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety.
