Mar Vista Remodeling and Additions
Mar Vista remodeling: window and stucco upgrades, additions, ADUs, kitchens and baths, planned for ocean air and taken through Los Angeles permits.
Permits for Mar Vista go through the City of Los Angeles, and the ocean air reaches its houses. A single-story house that has been added onto more than once, or one with big glass walls and exposed beams, shows wear wherever that air reaches original windows, wood trim and beam ends. We repair, upgrade and expand houses like these through the city permit process.
Post-and-beam and glass walls
Houses with exposed beams and floor-to-ceiling glass need care at every point where the beams pass through the wall and where the glass meets the frame. Water at those joints rots beam ends and stains ceilings. We repair or replace damaged beam sections with an engineer's guidance, and we replace single-pane glass with insulated units in frames that keep the slim lines. In historic preservation overlays, the city may ask for specific materials or profiles, and we confirm those before ordering anything.
Adding on to a single-story house
A rear addition or a second story can add room on a Mar Vista lot, and some lots can also fit a detached ADU. We look at the existing foundation and framing, check the zoning envelope and design the addition so its roof and walls tie into the house without new leak points. Kitchens and baths can be remodeled in the same project, since the walls and the budget are already open. Where the existing roof is low-slope, we plan drainage at the new tie-in with extra care.
What we take on in Mar Vista
The shell of the house first, then everything else.
