Culver City Remodeling and Additions
Culver City remodeling: additions, second stories, ADUs, kitchens, baths, windows and stucco, with Culver City permits handled for you.
Culver City has its own building department, and it checks every addition, second story and backyard unit we draw there. For more room without moving, those are the three choices, and we plan whichever the lot allows with the city's height and setback rules in view. Exterior work an older house needs can ride along in the same permit, which saves a second round of review.
Going up on a modest lot
Where the yard is small, a second story is often the practical way to add bedrooms. That starts with an engineer's check of the foundation and the existing walls, since an older house may need new footings or shear walls to carry a second floor. We also look at the height and setback limits that apply to the lot. The plans then detail the stair, the new roof and the joint between the old walls and the new ones, which is where second-story additions tend to leak if the details are rushed.
Kitchens, baths and the walls behind them
Opening a wall for a new kitchen layout or a larger bathroom often turns up old plumbing, outdated wiring or framing that was cut for past remodels. We price that discovery work clearly, usually with a unit price, and show owners what we find before going further. New wet walls get a proper membrane, kitchens get a range hood that vents outside, and any window in the remodeled room is checked and flashed while the wall is open. Floors in the remodeled rooms are leveled before new finishes.
