General Construction project by American Reliable Construction & Remodeling in the Sherman Oaks area
Overview

Licensed B general building contractor for complex residential work

American Reliable Construction & Remodeling holds a California B – General Building license (CSLB #1155602), which means we are licensed to take responsibility for a whole project involving multiple trades — framing, concrete, roofing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC and finish — and for the permits and inspections that go with it.

Homeowners call us for the work that does not fit neatly under "kitchen" or "bathroom": opening a bearing wall, replacing a foundation section, rebuilding a façade with new stucco, stone and windows, adding a covered patio or outdoor kitchen, retaining walls on a hillside lot, or a major exterior remodel timed with a new roof. Each is scoped in writing, engineered where required, permitted under our license and run by one coordinator.

What We Offer

  • Structural Modifications
  • Foundation Work
  • Exterior Remodeling
  • Patios & Outdoor Living
  • Framing
  • Electrical & Plumbing Coordination

“We recently completed a room addition along with a full roof customization, and the results are amazing. The team was professional, organized, and easy to communicate with throughout the entire project. The new room looks like it has always been part of the house, and the new roof was installed perfectly. Highly recommend their services!”

Budget & Payments

Milestone-Based Payments, Stated in Writing

Your estimate includes a payment schedule tied to real construction milestones — not calendar dates — so payments track visible progress and passed inspections. California law caps the down payment on a home-improvement contract, and our contracts follow it.

FAQ

General Construction Questions, Answered

Common questions from Los Angeles County homeowners. Don't see yours? Call (877) 702-6180.

A general contractor takes responsibility for the whole project: scope, permits, scheduling, the trades (framing, concrete, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, roofing, finish), materials, inspections and the final result. Under a California B – General Building license, that responsibility is legally ours — you have one accountable party instead of five.
