Where we build

Los Angeles, from the coast to the canyons to the Valley.

We design and build across greater Los Angeles: Los Angeles County, Ventura County and Orange County, with a particular depth of experience in the Westside, the hillside communities and the San Fernando Valley. These are the neighborhoods where the firm has built, rebuilt and remodeled homes, each with its own page: the work there, what building there involves, and the questions families in that neighborhood ask us first.

The map

Three counties. Fifteen places with a page of their own.

Every pin is a neighborhood with its own page; the diamonds are our offices in Sherman Oaks and Westlake Village. The shaded counties are where we design and build. On a phone, tap a pin for its name and the link to its page.

Rebuilding after fire

Five communities, one standard.

The Palisades, Malibu, Altadena, Pasadena and Topanga each rebuild through a different agency with a different set of rules. We have a page for each, written for the families going through it.

The construction behind all of them is on one page: how we build homes to California's wildfire code.

The hills

Half of Los Angeles is a slope.

Caissons, grade beams, soils reports and the City's hillside review run through most of the neighborhoods above. Mike Ross has managed that work for four decades as the builder, with his structural engineers and the foundation contractors he hires. Hillside construction, in its own words.

We take on a select number of significant projects each year. If you are considering a custom estate, a hillside build, or a full transformation, we would be glad to walk the property with you.
