Remodeling in Santa Monica, done the way Santa Monica homes require
Santa Monica is its own city with its own building department, its own green-building standards and a coastal climate that is hard on roofs and exterior finishes. American Reliable Construction & Remodeling designs, permits and builds kitchens, bathrooms, additions, ADUs and roofs for Santa Monica homeowners and property owners with those factors specified from the start.
Our office is in Sherman Oaks. Permits for Santa Monica projects are issued by the City of Santa Monica Building & Safety Division.
Typical projects and what they involve
- Bungalows north of Montana and in Sunset Park with compact kitchens and single baths being updated.
- Condo and multifamily unit renovations coordinated with building management.
- Roofing and exterior materials selected for a coastal environment.
City of Santa Monica Building & Safety Division
- Santa Monica issues its own permits and applies local green-building and water-efficiency standards to many projects.
- Properties in the Coastal Zone may require additional review. Requirements change; we confirm them per project.
Permits and inspections are handled under our license, CSLB #1155602. Building rules change; we confirm current requirements with the city for every project.
