Fast, Reliable General Contractor Across Pacific Palisades
General contractor work in Pacific Palisades carries a set of rules most crews never mention until the building inspector does. We do. A full kitchen remodel here runs $14,000 – $45,000, a bathroom remodel $9,000 – $28,000, and a home addition $45,000 – $130,000. Those are real numbers we stand behind, in writing, before the first tool comes out. Curtis Lane leads our Pacific Palisades jobs, and you can reach us directly at (903) 568-7222. We work the neighborhoods from the bluffs to the mesa, and we know which questions LADBS will ask before you’ve signed anything.
Why Bradford Remodeling Is Pacific Palisades’s Preferred General Contractor Company
Homeowners here have been burned enough times to recognize the pattern: a low verbal estimate, a crew that shows up late or not at all, then a reprice at the door when the scope “changed.” Bradford Remodeling runs a different job. We’re part of the Garrison Partners family, established in 2004, and every location operates under The Garrison Standard. That means a written price before any work starts, no exceptions. It means background-checked, uniformed technicians you can identify the moment they walk up the driveway. And it means a 365-Day Done Right Promise on every completed project: if the work fails inside a year, we come back and correct it at no charge. That guarantee is written, signed, and in your hand at job close.
Our Pacific Palisades customers call us because we answer. A live person picks up 24/7 at (903) 568-7222, not a voicemail tree. When you’re halfway through a kitchen rough-in and the inspector calls with a question, you don’t want to leave a message. You want a contractor who picks up.
Styles & brands we work with
General Contractor Services in Pacific Palisades
General Contractor Services in Pacific Palisades means one company accountable for the whole job: the permit package, the schedule, the subcontractors, the inspections, and the final walkthrough. We act as the single point of responsibility, which is what a general contractor is supposed to do. On a Palisades kitchen, that starts with a site visit to measure and document everything, then a written scope of work with material allowances locked in writing. We don’t hand you a price that floats. We hand you a number and a schedule, and we hold both.
Kitchen and Bath Remodeling
A kitchen remodel in Pacific Palisades typically lands between $14,000 and $45,000 depending on cabinet grade, countertop material, and whether walls or plumbing move. We install documented brands like KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry with Cambria or Caesarstone surfaces, and Kohler or Moen fixtures. A bathroom remodel runs $9,000 – $28,000. Walk-in shower installations here run $4,500 – $12,000, and a tub-to-shower conversion $3,500 – $10,000.
Home Additions and ADU Construction
Home additions in Pacific Palisades run $45,000 – $130,000. ADU construction runs $90,000 – $220,000. These are permit-heavy projects, and in the Palisades that means LADBS plan check, often with fire zone review layered on top. We pull permits, coordinate inspections, and keep the draw schedule tied to sign-off milestones so subs stay paid and the punch list doesn’t stall.

Construction Company in Pacific Palisades
Construction Company work in Pacific Palisades splits into two categories: interior remodeling that touches framing, plumbing, or electrical, and exterior work that has to meet fire-severity requirements. Both go through the same disciplined process at Bradford Remodeling. Every job starts with a written price. Every job ends with a signed guarantee and a clean site. In between, you get a schedule you can actually read and a crew that shows up in uniform, on time.
Exterior and Site Work
Roof replacement in Pacific Palisades runs $8,000 – $20,000, and window replacement $4,500 – $15,000. Both sit under the Very High Fire Severity Zone rules, which we’ll cover in detail below. Paver patios run $3,500 – $11,000, and a paver driveway $7,000 – $18,000. We use Belgard and Unilock products with manufacturer specs we can show you before you commit.
Whole Home and Structural
A whole-home remodel in Pacific Palisades touches every system at once, and the price reflects that: it stacks kitchen, bath, flooring, and often window and roof work into a single permit cycle. We sequence the trades so you’re not paying for idle days. The Garrison Standard governs how we run these jobs: documented scope, locked allowances, no change orders that weren’t put in writing and approved by you first.
Trusted Brands We Service in Pacific Palisades
We don’t install mystery materials. Our Pacific Palisades jobs run on a documented roster: KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinets, Cambria, Caesarstone, and Silestone surfaces, Kohler and Moen fixtures, GAF and CertainTeed roofing, James Hardie siding, Therma-Tru doors, and Belgard hardscaping. When a homeowner asks what’s going into their kitchen, we hand them the spec sheet with the model number and the manufacturer warranty. The same goes for exterior work. Roof replacement in the Palisades often calls for GAF or Owens Corning Class A assemblies, and we stock and order those lines specifically for coastal fire-zone requirements.

AfterCommon General Contractor Problems We See in Pacific Palisades Homes
- Fire-zone plan check surprises. Pacific Palisades sits in a Very High Fire Severity Zone, so exterior work on roofs, windows, and even pavers can trigger Class A fire-rated assembly requirements and ember-resistant detailing. A contractor who doesn’t flag that up front will find out at plan check, and the permit calendar restarts. We scope for it before you’ve paid a deposit.
- Allowances that float. A verbal “allowance” for cabinets or countertops is where mid-job change orders come from. Along Marquez Avenue and around Sunset, we see it constantly: a homeowner picks a Cambria slab that wasn’t actually in the allowance, and the bill moves. We write every allowance down before demolition starts, and we don’t move it without your signature.
- Draw schedules out of sync with inspections. When a contractor takes payment ahead of inspection sign-off, subs go unpaid and the job stalls before final LADBS approval. We tie draws to actual milestones: rough-in inspection passed, drywall hung, final sign-off.
- Older hillside framing and drainage. Palisades homes built into the slope bring foundation and drainage conditions that flatland contractors don’t anticipate. We inspect before we price, so the number you get is the number the job actually costs.
Pricing for General Contractor in Pacific Palisades, CA

FAQs About General Contractor in Pacific Palisades
A general contractor handles the permit package through LADBS, the demolition, the framing and rough-in trades, the cabinet and countertop installation, the finish work, and the final inspection. In Pacific Palisades, that includes coordinating around the fire-severity rules if any exterior wall or window work is part of the scope. We ran a full kitchen remodel off Marquez Avenue with a KraftMaid cabinet package and a Cambria countertop, and the punch list closed in one walkthrough because allowances were locked before demolition. Call (903) 568-7222 to get your scope written down.
Yes, if you’re moving plumbing, changing the shower valve, or touching any electrical work. In Pacific Palisades, LADBS requires permits for that scope, and skipping them means the work isn’t insurable and can’t be sold as permitted. We pull the permits, schedule the inspections, and hand you the signed card at close. A small bathroom remodel here runs $5,000 – $12,000, and the permit work is part of our written price. Call (903) 568-7222 for an exact quote.
Most home additions in Pacific Palisades take 4 – 7 months from plan check to final inspection. ADUs run 6 – 10 months. The fire-zone review at plan check can add weeks, which is why we file early and flag the detailing up front. The calendar depends on LADBS turnaround, not on our willingness to show up. Call (903) 568-7222 and we’ll map a realistic schedule for your specific address.
Two things: allowances that weren’t locked in writing, and fire-zone requirements discovered at plan check. The first is preventable, and we prevent it. The second is predictable if someone knows the Palisades rules, and we do. When you work with Bradford Remodeling, the change order list stays empty because the scope was written before demolition started. Get your written price by calling (903) 568-7222.
We’ll give you a real price range over the phone: roof replacement $8,000 – $20,000, window replacement $4,500 – $15,000. An exact written quote requires a site visit to measure, inspect the existing roof deck or framing, and confirm the fire-zone assembly requirements for your specific street. No pressure, no scarcity language, just a number. Call (903) 568-7222 to schedule the walkthrough.
