Local Knowledge
Remodeling in Sherman Oaks, done the way Sherman Oaks homes require
American Reliable Construction & Remodeling, Inc. is a licensed design-build general contractor headquartered in Sherman Oaks, and home remodeling in Sherman Oaks is the core of what we build. We design, permit and build kitchen remodel and bathroom remodel projects, ADU and garage conversions, room additions, roofing and whole-home renovations for homeowners between the 405, the 101 and Mulholland Drive.
Sherman Oaks housing runs from 1940s–1960s ranch and traditional homes in the flats north of Ventura Boulevard to larger hillside properties in Longridge Estates, Royal Woods and the canyons to the south. Each type comes with its own set of realities — undersized electrical service and galvanized plumbing in the older flats, hillside grading and drainage rules south of the boulevard — and our estimates are written with those realities already priced in.
Because Sherman Oaks is part of the City of Los Angeles, every permit runs through LADBS. We prepare drawings, submit for plan check, respond to corrections and schedule every inspection ourselves, so you are never left chasing a sign-off.
What We See in Sherman Oaks Homes
Typical projects and what they involve
- Mid-century ranch homes in the flats with closed-off galley kitchens that homeowners want opened to the dining and living areas.
- Older 100-amp electrical panels and galvanized supply lines that should be upgraded when a kitchen or bathroom is opened up.
- Large rear yards on the flatter lots — good candidates for a detached ADU or a garage conversion for family or rental use.
- Hillside lots south of Ventura with view-driven additions that need engineering, drainage planning and hillside review.
- Original tile and clay-tile roofs on 1950s–1970s homes reaching the end of their underlayment life.
Permits in Sherman Oaks
Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety (LADBS)
- Sherman Oaks is within the City of Los Angeles; permits are issued by LADBS, most often through the Van Nuys district office.
- Properties in the hills south of Ventura Blvd fall under the City’s Baseline Hillside Ordinance, which affects grading, floor area, height and driveway design for additions and new structures.
- Detached ADUs and garage conversions follow state ADU law as implemented by LADBS; LADBS also offers pre-approved “standard plan” ADU designs that can shorten plan check.
- Rules change. We confirm current requirements with LADBS for every project before the estimate is finalized.
Permits and inspections are handled under our license, CSLB #1155602. Building rules change; we confirm current requirements with the city for every project.
