Why Bradford Remodeling Is Woodland Hills’s Preferred General Contractor Company
We’ve built our reputation in Woodland Hills by doing what other contractors skip: pulling permits, passing inspections, and putting the draw schedule in writing. Curtis Lane, who leads our team, holds every job to The Garrison Standard. That means a written price before work starts, a clean site at close, and a signed 365-Day Done Right Promise in your hand when we finish.
Woodland Hills homeowners deal with enough surprises. A lot of the calls we get come after another contractor under-scoped a hillside lot, or left a kitchen rough-in open without an inspection sign-off. We see it regularly off Mulholland Drive, along Ventura Boulevard, and up around the Warner Center area. The fix is always the same: go back to the permit, get the inspector’s sign-off, and put the corrected scope in writing.
Our crews are background-checked and uniformed. When someone shows up at your door in Woodland Hills, you know who they are and who they work for before they step inside. And if you call us at (903) 568-7222, a live person answers. Not a queue. Not a callback. A person.
Styles & brands we work with
Hire a General Contractor in Woodland Hills
Hire a General Contractor in Woodland Hills when the job involves load-bearing changes, new square footage, or permits that require engineered drawings. That covers room additions off the back of a mid-century ranch in the flats, kitchen remodels where a wall comes down in a tract home near Topanga Canyon Boulevard, and garage conversions on the larger lots south of the Boulevard. A full kitchen remodel in Woodland Hills typically lands between $14,000 and $45,000. A home addition starts around $45,000 and can reach $130,000 on a hillside lot with a soils report and deeper foundation.
Hillside lots and foundation scope
Many larger Woodland Hills hillside lots trigger LA’s ‘hillside area’ grading and foundation rules. What looks like a simple addition or ADU often needs a soils report and deeper foundation before framing can start. We scope that from day one, so the written price already accounts for the geotech work and the deputy grading inspection.
Permit and inspection sequence
A permitted remodel in Woodland Hills follows the same sequence whether you’re four blocks from Ventura Boulevard or backing up to the Santa Monica Mountains. Demo, rough-in, framing, mechanical, insulation, drywall, finish. We schedule the inspector at each hold point and don’t close walls until the sign-off is on the permit card.
General Contractor Services in Woodland Hills
General Contractor Services in Woodland Hills span everything from a single-bathroom remodel to a full ADU in the rear setback. A bath remodel here runs $9,000 to $28,000. An ADU, which is its own set of drawings, fees, and inspections, starts at $90,000 and can go to $220,000 depending on site work and finishes. We also handle garage conversions ($30,000 to $80,000), cabinet and countertop installation ($4,000 to $13,000 and $2,000 to $6,500 respectively), and exterior work like roof replacement ($8,000 to $20,000) and window replacement ($4,500 to $15,000).
Kitchen and bath rough-in
On a kitchen or bathroom remodel, the rough-in is where most Woodland Hills remodels either pass or stall. That’s the electrical, plumbing, and mechanical work that sits inside the open walls before drywall goes up. We don’t close those walls until the inspector has signed. If a previous contractor skipped that step, we open the wall back up and correct it.
Additions and ADU construction
Home additions and ADUs in Woodland Hills carry the highest variance in the construction trade. A flat lot off Oxnard Street is a different job than a sloped parcel above Mulholland Drive. The flat lot moves quickly. The hillside lot needs a soils report, possibly a retaining wall, and an engineered pier-and-grade-beam foundation before the first wall goes up. We price both honestly, with allowances in writing and no vague numbers at the door.

Trusted Brands We Service in Woodland Hills

AfterCommon General Contractor Problems We See in Woodland Hills Homes
- Hillside grading and foundation surprises. The biggest one. A contractor quotes an addition without a soils report, then the inspector requires deeper footings and the price jumps mid-project. In Woodland Hills, the time to find out about foundation depth is during estimating, not after demolition.
- Vague finish allowances. A kitchen gets priced with “standard” cabinets, then the homeowner picks KraftMaid or Cambria and the budget balloons. We set the allowance in writing before you sign, with specific brand names and dollar ceilings.
- Closed walls without inspection sign-off. A bathroom or kitchen remodel that skipped the rough-in inspection leaves you with a hidden plumbing or electrical problem and no legal record it was done right. We open it back up, correct it, and get the sign-off.
- Draw schedules that don’t match the work. Some contractors want big money early and leave the owner holding the risk. We tie each draw to an inspection sign-off, so you release payment only when the inspector says the work is correct.

FAQs About General Contractor in Woodland Hills
Yes. Any remodel in Woodland Hills that touches plumbing, electrical, structural walls, or changes the floor plan requires a city of Los Angeles building permit. Some cosmetic work, like painting or replacing a faucet with the same rough-in, can be done without one. If a contractor tells you to skip the permit, that’s a red flag. Call (903) 568-7222 and we’ll tell you straight whether your specific job needs one.
Plan on four to eight months from the day you sign to the day we hand you the completed punch list. A flat-lot addition with a standard foundation typically takes four to six months. A hillside addition that needs a soils report, engineered foundation, and a grading inspection runs six to eight months, sometimes longer if the city reviewer is backed up. The permit itself usually takes four to ten weeks in LA. We track all of it and tell you where your job sits each week.
Three things, and we’ve seen all of them on Woodland Hills jobs. Hillside soil conditions that require a deeper footing or a retaining wall. Finish allowances that weren’t documented in writing so the cabinet and countertop budget balloons. And work that opened a wall and revealed a problem nobody could see until demo, like failed framing or corroded cast iron drains. Our written price includes the allowanced amounts and we flag any real unknown before we start, not after. Call (903) 568-7222 for an exact scope on your property.
Yes, and Woodland Hills is one of the more active ADU parts of the San Fernando Valley. A garage conversion runs $30,000 to $80,000. A detached ADU runs $90,000 to $220,000. The caveat on hillside lots is the same as with additions: you may need a soils report and deeper foundation, and the grading plan has to pass the deputy inspection. We handle the entire permit set, including the site plan and structural drawings.
Each payment is tied to a completed phase that the inspector has signed off, not a calendar date or a “just because” request. A typical schedule is deposit, demo and rough-in sign-off, rough mechanical sign-off, drywall and finish, and final inspection and punch list. You release money when the permit card shows the work passed. That’s The Garrison Code, and it keeps a project honest from the first cut to the final walk.
