Tarzana homes range from 1950s ranch-style single-stories to newer two-story builds in the hills above Ventura Boulevard. Each era has its own framing quirks, plumbing configurations, and permit requirements. We work with what's there, not against it.

Full kitchen gut and rebuild or targeted cabinet and countertop replacement. We handle permits, plumbing rough-in, and electrical upgrades. Most complete kitchen remodels in the Valley run 4 to 8 weeks depending on custom cabinetry lead times. If you're weighing appliance choices, our guide on gas vs. induction cooktops for 2026 breaks down the real trade-offs.
Tile replacement, shower conversions, vanity builds, and full bathroom additions. A standard Tarzana bathroom remodel typically takes 2 to 3 weeks once materials are on-site. We pull all permits through the LA City Building Department. See how to find the right bathroom remodel contractor in Los Angeles before you hire anyone.
California's ADU laws have made it easier than ever to add a rentable unit on your Tarzana property. Garage conversions typically cost less than new detached ADUs and can move through the plan-check process faster. Our ADU contractor guide for Los Angeles covers setbacks, utility connections, and what to budget realistically.
Adding a bedroom, expanding a living room, or building out a second story requires structural engineering, foundation work, and coordination with LA City or LA County depending on your parcel. We handle design-build from drawings through final inspection. Additions in the Tarzana hills may need additional geotechnical review.
Tarzana's warm, dry summers and occasional Santa Ana wind events accelerate paint degradation on south and west-facing walls. We prep properly, which means scraping, priming, and caulking every gap before a brush touches the surface. Interior repaints average 2 to 4 days for a standard three-bedroom home.
Concrete driveways, pool construction and repair, outdoor kitchens, and ground-up new builds. For homeowners interested in environmentally responsible choices, our eco-friendly remodeling ideas for Los Angeles covers materials and systems worth considering. We also serve clients with older homes through our general construction services in Los Angeles.
About G&M
G&M Home Remodeling is a family-owned construction business based in Los Angeles, providing remodeling services across Tarzana and the West San Fernando Valley. Every project is managed directly by the owners, not handed off to a rotating crew of subcontractors you've never met.
We work with homeowners at every stage: from the first phone call through final walkthrough. If you call us today, you'll get a callback the same day. If the job is straightforward, we can have an estimate to you within 24 to 48 hours.
Tarzana homeowners come to us with a wide range of projects. Some need a bathroom updated before putting the house on the market. Others are planning a multi-phase renovation that starts with the kitchen and adds an ADU a year later. We're built to handle both. See what Los Angeles homeowners are building in 2026 if you're still figuring out where to start.
If you own a home with character from an earlier decade, we've worked on plenty of mid-century properties in the Valley. Our team understands how to preserve original detail while bringing systems up to code. Our approach to historic home remodeling in Los Angeles explains when preservation makes more sense than replacement.

How We Work
Every remodel we take on in Tarzana follows the same four-phase process. It keeps the work on schedule and keeps you informed at every point.
We come to your Tarzana home, measure the space, review any existing plans, and ask the right questions. You'll get a written estimate, not a ballpark over the phone. Most estimates are delivered within 48 hours of the site visit. There's no charge for this.
What to prepare: any inspiration photos, your rough budget range, and a list of must-haves vs. nice-to-haves. This helps us write an estimate that reflects your actual priorities, not just a generic scope.
Most structural work, electrical upgrades, and plumbing changes in Tarzana require permits from LA City Building and Safety. We handle the permit applications. Plan check times in LA vary from a few days for over-the-counter approvals to 6 to 12 weeks for larger additions. We build this into the schedule upfront.
Why permits matter: unpermitted work surfaces at resale and can complicate refinancing. Every project we build is inspected and signed off. We don't skip this step.
Work starts on the agreed date. You get a direct line to the project manager, not a customer service queue. We flag any conditions we find behind walls or under floors before we proceed, and we don't change the scope without your written approval.
Older Tarzana homes sometimes have surprises: galvanized pipes, knob-and-tube wiring, or asbestos-containing materials in flooring or insulation. We test and disclose before disturbing anything.
Before we consider a project done, the city inspector signs off and you walk the finished space with us. We maintain a punch list and return to address anything that doesn't meet spec. The project isn't closed until you say it is.
You receive: a copy of the final permit card, any warranty documentation for installed equipment, and a record of any structural changes made to the home.
Common Questions
These are the questions we actually hear on job sites and in estimate calls. Straight answers, no hedging.
CSLB License #1048107
Verify us directly at the California State License Board website before you sign anything with any contractor.
A full kitchen gut and rebuild runs 4 to 8 weeks once permits are approved and cabinets are on-site. The biggest variable is cabinet lead time: stock cabinets from a local supplier can arrive in days, while semi-custom or fully custom orders typically take 3 to 6 weeks. We schedule demo to start after materials are confirmed, so you're not living without a kitchen longer than necessary.
Most single-family lots in Tarzana qualify for at least one ADU under current California state law. Minimum lot size restrictions that previously blocked many conversions have largely been eliminated. A garage conversion is often the fastest path: the foundation and shell already exist, which cuts both cost and plan-check complexity. Setback requirements, utility connections, and school district fees still apply. Our complete ADU guide for Los Angeles covers the specifics.
We handle permit applications as part of the project. For work in Tarzana under LA City jurisdiction, that means submitting to the West LA or Van Nuys district office depending on your parcel. Some smaller jobs, like a straight cabinet swap with no plumbing or electrical changes, don't require permits. We'll tell you upfront which category your project falls into.
Look up the contractor's CSLB license number at contractors.cslb.ca.gov. You want an Active license in good standing, the right license class for the work (B - General Building for most remodeling), and current workers' compensation coverage. Our license is #1048107 and it covers all of the work we do. Never pay more than 10% or $1,000 down, whichever is less, before work begins. That's California law.
Bathroom remodel costs in the Valley vary significantly by scope. A cosmetic update, new tile, vanity, fixtures, and paint, typically runs less than a full gut. Full remodels that move plumbing or add square footage cost more and require permits. Materials account for a large share of the budget, so your choices in tile, cabinetry, and fixtures drive the number more than labor does. Get a written scope before you compare any two bids.
Yes. We work regularly in Encino, Woodland Hills, Sherman Oaks, Reseda, and other West Valley communities. The permitting process is consistent across these neighborhoods since they all fall under LA City Building and Safety. If you're in an area that falls under LA County jurisdiction rather than the city, we know that process as well.
