Remodeling in Tarzana, done the way Tarzana homes require

Tarzana sits between Encino and Woodland Hills, minutes from our Sherman Oaks office. Its housing runs from mid-century ranch homes and equestrian-scale lots south of Ventura Boulevard to hillside properties toward Mulholland. American Reliable Construction & Remodeling designs, permits and builds kitchens, bathrooms, ADUs, additions, roofs and whole-home renovations throughout the area.

Tarzana is part of the City of Los Angeles, so permits are issued by LADBS. Hillside lots fall under the Baseline Hillside Ordinance, and we confirm floor-area and grading rules at the feasibility stage.

Homeowners searching for a general contractor in Tarzana usually have one of three projects in mind: a kitchen and bathroom remodel in a ranch house that has not been touched since the 1980s, an ADU or garage conversion on one of the area's deep lots, or a whole-home renovation of a property bought for its lot size and location. We do all three under one license and one coordinator, and we are a ten-minute drive from most Tarzana streets.

What We See in Tarzana Homes

Typical projects and what they involve

  • Wide lots south of Ventura Blvd suited to single-story additions and detached ADUs.
  • Mid-century kitchens opened to family rooms with engineered beams.
  • Tile and shingle roofs reaching the end of their underlayment life.
  • Equestrian-zoned and half-acre lots south of the boulevard where a detached ADU sits well away from the main house.
  • 1960s–80s tract homes north of the boulevard with closed kitchens, small bathrooms and original electrical panels that need upgrading during a remodel.
  • Hillside homes near Mulholland where additions and decks need engineering and hillside review.
Permits in Tarzana

Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety (LADBS)

  • Tarzana is within the City of Los Angeles; permits are issued through LADBS.
  • Hillside lots are subject to the Baseline Hillside Ordinance. 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.

Kitchen and Bathroom Remodeling in Tarzana

Tarzana's ranch homes have generous footprints, so kitchen remodels here are usually about layout rather than square footage: removing the wall to the family room, replacing a peninsula with an island, and rebuilding the electrical and plumbing so the new layout is code-compliant. Bathrooms are rebuilt from the studs with new waterproofing, walk-in showers and vanities with real storage.

We permit kitchen and bath projects through LADBS as one set and build them with our own crews — framing, rough-ins, cabinetry, stone, tile and finish carpentry — so you deal with one coordinator from design to final inspection.

  • Open-plan kitchens with engineered beams
  • Custom cabinetry, quartz and stone countertops
  • Full bathroom gut remodels and tub-to-shower conversions
  • Panel upgrades handled as part of the remodel

ADUs and Room Additions in Tarzana

Tarzana's lot sizes are the reason ADU and addition projects work so well here. A detached one- or two-bedroom ADU in the rear yard, a garage conversion for a home office or rental, or a primary-suite addition off the back of the house — we handle feasibility, LADBS plan check, utilities and construction.

  • Detached ADUs and garage conversions
  • Primary-suite and family-room additions
  • Second-story additions on lots outside hillside zones

Roofing in Tarzana

Sun, dry seasons and first-rain leaks are hard on Tarzana 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 Tarzana →
