About Home Additions in Los Angeles
We deliver single-story rear additions, second-story pop-tops, and side additions across LA County — from Mar Vista bungalows to Pasadena craftsmans to South Bay ranches. Every project is a fixed-scope contract covering structural, LADBS permits, MEP, framing, and finish.
What we resolve before drawings begin.
- 01
Existing foundation capacity
Second-story additions often require new piers or a strengthened perimeter foundation. We commission a structural engineer during feasibility, not after permit.
- 02
Hillside and grading rules
Hillside lots in LA carry export-of-fill limits and additional structural review. We confirm during feasibility.
- 03
Tying the addition into existing finish
Stucco, siding, and roof transitions are where amateur work shows. We detail these before the addition framing closes up.
