Fast, Reliable General Contractor Across North Hollywood
Most general contractor work in North Hollywood falls into two buckets: our Home Remodeling in North Hollywood covers everything from remodeling a pre-war bungalow to adding square footage to a newer build. We price both the same way, with a written scope and a dollar figure before any demo starts. Bradford Remodeling crews work throughout North Hollywood, from the NoHo Arts District up to the Burbank line off Vineland. If you’re planning a kitchen, bath, addition, or ADU, call Curtis Lane at (903) 568-7222 and we’ll put the scope in writing.
Why Bradford Remodeling Is North Hollywood’s Preferred General Contractor Company
North Hollywood homeowners tend to ask the same three questions: what’s the real cost, who’s actually showing up, and what happens if something fails after closeout. We answer all three before you sign anything. Every project gets a written price, a documented scope, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise in your hand at the end of the job. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, so when a Bradford crew pulls up to a house off Magnolia or Lankershim, you know exactly who’s walking onto your property. Curtis Lane runs this operation the same way The Garrison Standard has required since 2004: no surprise invoices, no vague scope, no work left unfinished. When a wall comes down in a 1922 bungalow, we’ve already verified whether it’s load-bearing before the reciprocating saw touches it.
Styles & brands we work with
Hire a General Contractor in North Hollywood
Hire a General Contractor when the job touches structure, electrical, plumbing, or permits, which in North Hollywood means most projects beyond paint and flooring. The neighborhoods here, from Valley Village to West Toluca Lake, carry a range of housing stock built between the 1920s and the 2020s, so scope depends on the actual house, not the zip code. A kitchen remodel in North Hollywood runs $14,000 to $45,000. A bathroom runs $9,000 to $28,000. Those numbers include labor, materials, and the permit work we pull and close out for you.
Scoping the Job Correctly
Before we give a price, we open up the areas that matter: the subfloor, the wall cavities, the panel. In North Hollywood’s older bungalows, we’re checking whether the framing is original, whether a previous owner modified it without permits, and whether the subfloor needs sistering or full replacement. The written scope accounts for it. If we find something behind the wall that changes the job, you’ll know before we proceed, not after the invoice.
Permits and Inspections
North Hollywood sits within the City of Los Angeles permitting system, and the mixed-zoning reality here means a garage conversion or addition can trigger separate plan checks depending on the street. We handle the permit submittal, respond to plan checker comments, and schedule the final inspection. Our goal is a sign-off on the first pass because the load path was documented before demo started, not patched together after.
General Contractor Services in North Hollywood
General Contractor Services in North Hollywood cover the full range: kitchen remodels, bath remodels, whole-home work, room additions, garage conversions, and ADU construction. A home addition in North Hollywood runs $45,000 to $130,000 depending on foundation depth and whether we’re tying into a pre-war structure or a newer slab. An ADU runs $90,000 to $220,000, and a garage conversion runs $30,000 to $80,000. Those are the numbers we quote from when we scope your job.
Kitchen and Bath Work
We install KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, Cambria and Caesarstone surfaces, and Kohler or Moen fixtures on most kitchen and bath projects. A typical North Hollywood kitchen remodel lands between $14,000 and $45,000, with the spread driven by whether the job is a cabinet swap or a full gut with structural changes. Bathrooms run $9,000 to $28,000, with tub-to-shower conversions and walk-in showers on the lower end when no plumbing rough-in is moved.
Additions and ADUs
North Hollywood’s ADU-friendly zoning means we see a lot of garage conversions and backyard units. These projects carry a heavier permitting load, and we price accordingly. A garage conversion starts at $30,000. A detached ADU starts at $90,000. We use Sakrete bag mixes for smaller footings and slab patches where structural concrete is not required, and our sub-contractors follow the same written scope discipline we do.

Trusted Brands We Service in North Hollywood
We install and stand behind documented brands, so when a North Hollywood homeowner asks what’s behind the wall or under the counter, we can point to a manufacturer spec sheet. On current projects we’re running KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, Cambria and Caesarstone counters, and Kohler fixtures, and for exterior work, James Hardie siding and GAF roofing. If a project calls for a pre-fab accessory dwelling unit, we’ve worked with Abodu and Cover systems. One note on North Hollywood specifically: older bungalows on pier-and-beam foundations often have non-standard rough openings, so we stock or order the extended-jamb door sets and custom-width brackets ahead of time. That’s the kind of local parts knowledge that keeps a remodel from stalling on week six.

AfterCommon General Contractor Problems We See in North Hollywood Homes
- Pre-1940s load-bearing walls that were modified without permits. A 1922 bungalow in the NoHo Arts District almost always has a past owner’s handiwork behind the drywall. We verify the load path before demo, every time, because missing a header here causes sagging floors within a year.
- Underestimating subfloor condition in older homes. 1920s subfloors in North Hollywood often need sistering or full replacement before new flooring goes down. A contractor who doesn’t open up the floor first will either underbid the job or hit you with a change order mid-project.
- Mixed zoning and ADU triggers on the same lot. North Hollywood blocks mix R1, R2, and multi-family zones within a few doors of each other. A garage conversion on one side of Lankershim may be a simple plan check, while the same scope two blocks east triggers additional review. We check the zoning before we price it.
- Termite damage and dry rot in the valley heat. The hot, dry summers here leave 1920s framing brittle, and termite galleries are common in the subfloor and sill plates. We inspect for it during scoping, document it in the written price, and replace the affected lumber before it spreads.

What moves the price in North Holland specifically: the age of the structure. Working inside a 1925 bungalow with original framing costs more than the same scope in a 2005 build, because we’re engineering headers, sistering joists, and often correcting a prior owner’s unpermitted work. The written price you get before we start is the price we hold. If we find something behind the wall that changes scope, we document it and get your sign-off before proceeding.

FAQs About General Contractor in North Hollywood
Yes, in almost every case. North Hollywood falls under City of Los Angeles permitting, and any wall removal that touches structure or houses electrical or plumbing requires a permit. The critical step is verifying whether the wall is load-bearing before demolition. In a 1920s bungalow off Vineland or Lankershim, many walls that look cosmetic are carrying the ceiling. We do that verification, pull the permit, and document the load path change in the scope before any demo starts. Call (903) 568-7222 and we’ll walk through your specific wall.
Six to ten weeks, on average, from first demo to final inspection. The range depends on whether we’re doing a cabinet-and-counter swap in a newer home or a full gut with structural work in a pre-war bungalow. The 1920s houses we see in the NoHo Arts District often add a week or two for subfloor repairs and load-bearing corrections. We give you a written calendar as part of the written scope, so you know the sequence before we start, not after.
A garage conversion to an ADU in North Hollywood runs $30,000 to $80,000. The lower end applies when the structure is already finished and zoned properly; the higher end covers foundation work, utility installation, and additional plan checks triggered by your street’s specific zoning. We verify the zoning and the existing slab condition before we price, so the number holds. Call (903) 568-7222 for an exact written quote.
Yes, and we’ve done plenty of them. A small bathroom remodel in a 1920s North Hollywood bungalow typically runs $5,000 to $12,000, while a full bath remodel runs $9,000 to $28,000. The wildcard is what’s behind the walls and under the floor. We open both during scoping, replace any rotted or termite-damaged lumber, and document it in the written price before work begins. No surprise change orders mid-project.
We stop, document what we found with photos, and give you a written change order showing exactly what the additional work costs and why. The hot, dry North Hollywood climate leaves older framing brittle, and termite galleries are common in sill plates and subfloors. If the damage affects the structure, we replace the lumber. If it requires fumigation, we’ll bring in a licensed pest control company. Either way, you’ll see the number in writing before we spend a dollar more.
