Remodeling in Calabasas, done the way Calabasas homes require

Calabasas homes are newer than most of the Valley, but they come with their own process: HOA architectural review in most communities, the City of Calabasas’ own building department, and hillside and fire-zone rules on many lots. American Reliable Construction & Remodeling designs, permits and builds kitchens, bathrooms, additions, ADUs and roofs here with that process mapped out before the estimate is finalized.

Our office is in Sherman Oaks, a straight drive west on the 101. Consultations happen at your home and are free.

Calabasas homeowners searching for a general contractor are usually planning a substantial project: a full kitchen and primary-bath remodel in a 1990s–2000s home, a detached guest house or ADU on a larger lot, or a whole-home update of a property in one of the gated communities. We design, permit and build all of these, and we are familiar with the City of Calabasas's own building department and the HOA review steps that come before it.

What We See in Calabasas Homes

Typical projects and what they involve

  • 1990s–2000s production homes where kitchens and primary baths are updated to current finishes and layouts.
  • HOA-governed exteriors where additions and roofs must match approved materials and colors.
  • Fire-zone roofing and exterior requirements built into every specification.
  • 1990s–2000s homes in gated communities where kitchens and primary bathrooms are the first rooms to date and HOA architectural review comes before the city permit.
  • Larger lots in Old Calabasas, Monte Nido and the Mulholland corridor suited to detached ADUs and guest houses.
  • Tile roofs at the end of their underlayment life, often replaced during a whole-home renovation.
Permits in Calabasas

City of Calabasas Community Development — Building & Safety Division

  • Calabasas issues its own permits; most projects also need HOA architectural approval, which we coordinate in parallel.
  • Many lots are in a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone and/or hillside areas with additional standards.
  • Requirements change; we confirm them with the city and your HOA before finalizing your estimate.

Permits and inspections are handled under our license, CSLB #1155602. Building rules change; we confirm current requirements with the city for every project.

Kitchen and Bathroom Remodeling in Calabasas

Calabasas kitchens from the 1990s and 2000s usually have the space but not the finishes or the layout: builder-grade cabinets, tile counters, a peninsula where an island should be. We rebuild them with custom cabinetry, stone counters, new lighting circuits and a range hood vented properly to the outside. Primary bathrooms get curbless showers, freestanding tubs, double vanities and new waterproofing behind everything.

Projects in gated communities go through HOA architectural review first, then the City of Calabasas building department. We prepare the drawings for both and keep one coordinator on your project from design to final inspection.

  • Custom cabinetry and stone countertops
  • Primary-bath remodels with curbless showers and freestanding tubs
  • HOA submittals prepared alongside the city permit set
  • Lighting and electrical rebuilt for the new layout

ADU and Guest House Construction in Calabasas

Larger Calabasas lots make detached ADUs and guest houses practical. We handle feasibility, the City of Calabasas permit process, utilities and the full build — see the dedicated page for how ADU projects run in Calabasas.

Roofing in Calabasas

Sun, dry seasons and first-rain leaks are hard on Calabasas roofs. We inspect, photograph and report in writing before recommending anything, then handle roof repair or a full roof replacement under permit. See our roofing services in Calabasas →

FAQ

Calabasas homeowners ask

Don’t see your question? Call (877) 702-6180.

Yes. We prepare the drawings and material selections your HOA architectural committee requires and run that submittal alongside the city permit so the two approvals do not hold each other up.
