Fast, Reliable General Contractor Across Granada Hills
A general contractor in Granada Hills typically charges $14,000 to $45,000 for a full kitchen remodel, $9,000 to $28,000 for a bathroom remodel, and $45,000 to $130,000 for a home addition. Most mid-size projects here run eight to fourteen weeks from permit to final walkthrough. Bradford Remodeling handles the whole sequence: scope, permits, demolition, rough-in, inspections, finishes, and close-out. Call (903) 568-7222 and Curtis Lane will put the first written price in front of you before anything gets torn out.
We work Granada Hills from Balboa Boulevard up through the highlands above Rinaldi, and we know what the foothill wind exposure does to exterior details. That matters when you’re pricing a job against a contractor who works the flats of the Valley and never has to think about ember-resistant soffit detailing.
Why Bradford Remodeling Is Granada Hills’s Preferred General Contractor Company
We run on a written scope and a written price. That’s the whole offer. Homeowners around Granada Hills Charter High and Knollwood Country Club have had enough of no-shows and re-pricing at the door, and the General Contractor team at Bradford is built so that doesn’t happen. Before a single tool comes out, you get a line-item scope and a number that doesn’t move. That’s The Garrison Standard, and it’s been the operating rule since 2004.
Every crew that comes to your Granada Hills property is background-checked and uniformed. The person who knocks on your door is the person whose name was on the crew list. The 365-Day Done Right Promise backs every completed job: if work fails inside the year, we return and correct it at no charge. No argument about whether it’s covered. It’s in writing.
When you call about a project in Granada Hills, a live person answers. Not a voicemail. Not an answering service that promises a callback. That’s true at 2 p.m. and at 2 a.m.
Styles & brands we work with
Licensed General Contractor in Granada Hills
A Licensed General Contractor in Granada Hills pulls the permits, schedules the inspections, and carries the contract for the whole job, start to finish. If your project is a kitchen remodel with a wall coming out, or a garage conversion adding a bathroom, you need a contractor who knows the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety process and won’t let the schedule stall at plan check. A full kitchen remodel in Granada Hills runs $14,000 to $45,000. A bathroom remodel falls between $9,000 and $28,000, and a home addition starts at $45,000 and can reach $130,000 depending on foundation work and roofline.
Permit Sequencing and Inspection Sign-off
Most Granada Hills remodels need at least two inspections: rough-in and final. Electrical, plumbing, and structural changes each trigger their own sign-off, and foothill wildfire exposure can add roofing and exterior detailing requirements on top. We sequence the job so inspections happen in order and the schedule holds.
What the Contract Actually Covers
The Garrison Standard means the contract names the materials, the allowances, the number of permits, and the guarantee term. KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, Cambria and Caesarstone surfaces, Kohler and Moen fixtures: those are documented line items, not vague “quality materials” notes. If a brand is in the bid, that brand goes in your house.
Residential General Contractor in Granada Hills
A Residential General Contractor in Granada Hills manages the trades, the schedule, and the money on homeowner projects that are too big for any single specialist. You need this when the job touches multiple systems at once: a whole-home remodel off Sesnon Boulevard, a room addition off Zelzah Avenue, or an ADU in the back of a Rinaldi Street lot. Home additions in Granada Hills run $45,000 to $130,000. ADU construction runs $90,000 to $220,000. A garage conversion falls between $30,000 and $80,000.
Older Ranch and Raised Foundation Stock
Granada Hills was built out heavily in the 1950s and 1960s. Those ranches off Balboa and San Fernando Mission Boulevards often have galvanized supply lines and original cloth-jacketed wiring. A bid that doesn’t account for a rough-in update is a change order waiting to happen. We price it before demo, not after.
Exterior and Wildfire-Exposed Details
Properties in the upper elevations, west of Balboa and north of Rinaldi, sit in high-wind and wildfire-exposed terrain. Roof-to-wall connections, ember-resistant vents, and ignition-resistant soffit details are priced into our exterior and addition scopes from the start. A contractor who works the Valley floor rarely even carries those line items.
Trusted Brands We Service in Granada Hills
Bradford Remodeling installs documented, name-brand materials with manufacturer specs and warranties that sit alongside our own. We specify James Hardie siding and GAF roofing on exterior work, Therma-Tru doors on entries, and Belgard hardscaping on patio and walkway work. For backyard builds, we also work with Dvele and Cover systems where the homeowner wants a prefabricated ADU path, and Abodu units where the lot geometry allows it. We stock the common repair and finishing materials our Granada Hills crews need so a missing threshold or wrong-profile trim piece doesn’t shut a job down for three days.

AfterCommon General Contractor Problems We See in Granada Hills Homes
These show up on Granada Hills job sites more than anywhere else we work in the Valley. Most could have been caught at bid time.
- Original 1950s wiring and galvanized plumbing behind the walls. Homeowners get a kitchen bid from a phone photo, then demo reveals cloth-jacketed wiring and corroded supply lines. The “fixed” bid becomes a change order. We open the wall on paper during scope, not after the sledgehammer comes out.
- Foothill wind and wildfire permit triggers on roofs and exteriors. A roof replacement off Rinaldi in the highlands can need strengthened roof-to-wall connections that a flatland Valley roof bid was never written to include. Our Granada Hills scopes include those inspection steps up front.
- Dry-rot and settlement hiding under older floors. Raised ranch foundations and original slab floors off Balboa often hide dry-rot at the sill or settlement at the joint line. Once the tile is up and the substrate is exposed, that re-scopes the job. We check the substrate before we write the final number.
- Change orders from subcontractors who were never in the original scope. When the contract doesn’t name the plumber, the electrician, and the tile setter with their allowances, someone shows up with a different number. Bradford’s written scope names every trade and every allowance line before work begins.

The written price we give you before any work starts includes the permits. It does not include change orders you ask for mid-job. Those are written and signed by you first.

FAQs About General Contractor in Granada Hills
The two biggest drivers are the condition of the existing rough-in and the cabinet and surface line you choose. A 1950s ranch kitchen off Balboa with original wiring and galvanized supply lines will land at the higher end of the $14,000 to $45,000 range because the electrical and plumbing updates have to happen before any KraftMaid boxes or Cambria counters go in. On a newer home where the rough-in is sound and the footprint doesn’t move, the same kitchen can fall at $18,000 to $25,000. Call (903) 568-7222 and Curtis Lane will walk the existing conditions with you before any number is written.
Yes. Any remodel that touches electrical, plumbing, or load-bearing structure in Granada Hills requires a permit through Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety, and the job has to pass rough-in and final inspections. We pull every permit ourselves and the inspection schedule is written into the project calendar. No permit means no sign-off, and no sign-off means a problem when you sell.
A bathroom remodel runs four to six weeks. A kitchen remodel runs six to ten weeks. A home addition or ADU runs three to six months depending on foundation, roofline, and weather windows in the foothills. The schedule includes permit review time, and we don’t start demo until the permit is in hand. Call (903) 568-7222 for a timeline specific to your street and your scope.
Only what you ask to change. Bradford Remodeling writes a fixed scope and a fixed price before any work starts, and a change only enters the job when you request it in writing. The exception is hidden structural or rough-in damage that could not have been seen before demo. That gets photographed, explained, and a written number comes to you for approval before any work happens. No surprise invoices.
Yes. ADU construction in Granada Hills runs $90,000 to $220,000 and garage conversions run $30,000 to $80,000 depending on whether we’re adding a bathroom, a kitchenette, or a full second unit. We also price prefabricated ADU paths with Dvele and Cover where the lot and budget fit. Every ADU scope includes the permit package and the foothill wind and ember-resistant detailing the site requires. Call (903) 568-7222 to get the feasibility and cost picture for your lot.
