Why Bradford Remodeling Is Hollywood’s Preferred Home Remodeling Company
Hollywood homeowners deal with a specific kind of frustration: contractors who price the visible finishes and then act surprised when the walls hide knob-and-tube wiring or unpermitted framing. That doesn’t happen with us. We start every Hollywood remodel with a forensic scope of work. We open the walls, document what’s actually there, and price the job against what the house is, not what the listing photos promised. Home Remodeling done by the book means the inspector signs off, the punch list closes, and the final number matches the written estimate.
Our crews know the housing stock here. The 1920s Spanish bungalows near Whitley Heights, the courtyard apartments off Franklin Avenue, the hillside lots in the Hollywood Dell. Each one has quirks. We plan for them. Curtis Lane runs the operation with the same standard on every job: background-checked, uniformed technicians, a live person answering the phone 24/7, and a written guarantee in your hand at close. We’re part of the Garrison Partners family, established 2004, and every project is held to The Garrison Standard. That’s not marketing language. It’s the framework that says the price doesn’t move once it’s signed.
Styles & brands we work with
Full Home Remodel in Hollywood
A Full Home Remodel in Hollywood means taking a house that’s been patched and re-patched for 80 years and bringing it current: new electrical, new plumbing rough-in, new load paths, new finishes. For a 1920s bungalow off Whitley Heights, that often starts with removing unpermitted additions that previous owners nailed on. We document every load-bearing wall, every junction box, every floor joist before we price the job. A full home remodel in Hollywood runs $45,000 to $130,000 depending on square footage and how much of the original structure can be salvaged. The Garrison Standard requires that number in writing before demolition starts.
Scope Before Price
We don’t give you a number based on a walkthrough. We give you a scope of work based on what’s inside the walls. That means poking holes, pulling a few baseboards, checking the panel. It takes a day or two. It’s the only honest way to price an older Hollywood home.
Rough-In That Passes
Most Hollywood remodel failures happen at rough-in: missing subfloor nailing, undersized headers, circuits that can’t carry a modern kitchen. We call the inspection when the walls are still open, and we don’t close them until the inspector signs. That keeps the city out of your finished kitchen.
Home Remodeling Contractor in Hollywood
A Home Remodeling Contractor in Hollywood should be able to look at a 1930s Spanish duplex on Spaulding Square and tell you, before you spend a dollar, whether the foundation can take the addition you’re planning. That’s what we do. We’re general contractors first. We pull permits, schedule inspections, manage the subs, and write the scope so the subcontractors know exactly what “done” means. Hollywood is not a market for vague handshakes. We don’t work that way.
Permits And Inspections
Any structural change in Hollywood needs a permit. That includes adding a beam, moving a wall, or converting a garage. We pull the permit, we schedule the inspection, and we don’t ask for the final draw until the city signs off. You’ll have a documented permit history when you sell the house. That matters here.
Written Change Orders Only
If the wall opens and we find what nobody could see from the outside, you get a written change order with a specific dollar amount. You sign it before we proceed. The price never moves at the door. That’s The Garrison Code, and it’s why Hollywood homeowners who’ve been burned once tend to stay with us.
Trusted Brands We Service in Hollywood
We install materials that have manufacturer specs and warranties behind them, because our own 365-day guarantee shouldn’t be the only thing standing between you and a failed cabinet hinge. On Hollywood jobs you’ll see KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, Cambria and Caesarstone countertops, and Kohler and Moen fixtures. We spec these before we rough in, so the substrate and blocking are in the right place the first time. If you’re doing a larger project, we also work with Sakrete for concrete and James Hardie for exterior siding. No mystery brands. No “trust us” materials.

AfterCommon Home Remodeling Problems We See in Hollywood Homes
- Unpermitted additions. A lot of Hollywood bungalows got a second bedroom or an enclosed porch without permits in the 1960s and 70s. The city records don’t match the house. We document it, flag it, and either bring it into compliance or leave it out of your scope.
- Knob-and-tube wiring. Still active in plenty of pre-1930s homes around Hollywood. It’s not a code violation by itself, but it can’t carry a modern kitchen. We test for it during the forensic scope and price the upgrade accordingly.
- Plaster over original joists. The 1920s homes near Whitley Heights have redwood joists that have been patched and sistered for generations. Sometimes the subfloor needs full replacement before flooring can go down. We check before we quote.
- Hillside foundation movement. Homes in the Hollywood Dell and Beachwood Canyon sit on slopes. Cracks in stucco or interior plaster often track back to settling. We bring in a structural engineer when the scope calls for it, and we don’t cover that up with caulk.
Pricing for Home Remodeling in Hollywood, CA
Here are the ranges we quote in Hollywood, based on current material and labor costs in this market:
| Project | Hollywood Price Range |
|---|---|
| Kitchen Remodel | $14,000 – $45,000 |
| Bathroom Remodel | $9,000 – $28,000 |
| Cabinet Installation | $4,000 – $13,000 |
| Countertop Installation | $2,000 – $6,500 |
| Home Addition | $45,000 – $130,000 |
What moves the number? Square footage, structural condition, and how much of the existing house can be reused. A kitchen in a 1926 bungalow that needs new wiring and subfloor will land at the higher end. A cosmetic refresh in a 1950s ranch will land lower. The point is you’ll have that number in writing before we start. Call (903) 568-7222 for a free estimate. We’ll walk the house, open what needs opening, and give you a real price.

FAQs About Home Remodeling in Hollywood
Replacing cabinets and countertops in place does not typically require a permit, but the moment you move plumbing, add circuits, or alter walls, you’re in permitted territory. On older Hollywood homes, we often find the cabinet remodel turns into an electrical rough-in once we see what’s behind the plaster. We tell you before you pay. Call (903) 568-7222 for a straight answer on your specific situation.
A full home remodel in Hollywood runs 4 to 7 months from the first hammer swing to the final inspection. That includes demolition, rough-in, city inspections, drywall, finishes, and punch list. Older homes with unpermitted work or structural surprises can add weeks. We give you a written schedule with the written price, and we update it every week in writing. Call (903) 568-7222 if you want a timeline for your house specifically.
We stop, document it, and give you a written change order with the exact cost to bring it into code compliance. You decide before we proceed. You are never obligated to proceed, but we will not cover up unpermitted electrical or framing behind new drywall. That’s the kind of thing that bites you at resale in Hollywood, and we won’t put our name on it. Call (903) 568-7222 to talk through what we typically find.
KraftMaid and Wellborn for cabinetry. Cambria and Caesarstone for countertops. Kohler and Moen for fixtures. These are documented brands with manufacturer warranties that back up our own 365-Day Done Right Promise. We don’t install no-name imports we can’t stand behind. Call (903) 568-7222 and we’ll walk you through the spec sheet line by line.
We don’t start the swing phase until the scope of work, the price, and the permit are all in writing. That forensic scoping process takes about a week or two depending on the house. Anyone who promises to start demolition tomorrow on a Hollywood remodel is not doing it by the book. We’d rather be the crew that takes a week longer to start and finishes on the number we quoted. Call (903) 568-7222 to schedule your free estimate.
