Our General Contractor Services in Pacific Palisades, CA

Our work as a general contractor in Pacific Palisades, CA runs through three doors into one workshop: Build, Install, and Keep.

• General contracting for fine homes. Ground-up and whole-house work for owners and architects who require uncompromising invention, engineering, and aesthetic perspective. Built to the drawings.
• Home renovation and residential additions. Renovations and additions that respect the original architecture while extending it. We hold the architect's intent through every trade on site.
• Custom kitchen and bathroom remodeling. Kitchens and baths detailed to the drawings, in the materials specified, fitted by people with patience for highly personal custom work.
• Hardscape and landscape construction. Terraces, walls, and planted ground built with the same engineering discipline as the house itself.
• Custom art installation. Large sculpture, suspended work, private galleries, and art lighting, with the structural engineering each piece needs. Work is engineered, hung and lit as one scope, not three.
• Estate management. Ongoing upkeep and readiness of the homes we built or renovated, including scheduling other trades. The house is watched.

We also handle the quieter trades that protect a fine home: leak detection and elimination, dry rot repair and window restoration, and electrical, plumbing, and HVAC work.

The structure is simple. Build covers renovations, additions, custom kitchens and baths, and hardscape and landscape, built to the architect's drawings.

General Contractor Questions We Hear in Pacific Palisades, CA

Can you renovate an older home without losing its character?

Yes. Many Westside houses of real architectural merit date to the mid-century or earlier, and the Palisades holds a good share of them. Our renovation work starts from the architect's intent, whether that architect is living or long gone. Dry rot repair, window restoration, and leak elimination let the original fabric stay where it belongs.

Do you handle art installation as part of a renovation?

We do, and often in the same scope. Say a collector in Pacific Palisades, CA is renovating a living room and wants a suspended piece over the stair. We engineer the structure during framing, hang the work, and light it, so the installation belongs to the house rather than being bolted onto it afterward.

What does estate management include?

Estate management is the Keep door: ongoing upkeep and readiness of the homes we built or renovated. We watch the house, handle the recurring work, and schedule other trades when they are needed. You make one call. It is not property work farmed out to strangers; it is the same workshop that built the rooms keeping them ready.
