Transform Your Home: Complete Remodeling in Los Angeles
Your home should work for the way you live now, not the way someone else designed it 30 years ago. If your layout feels cramped, your finishes are outdated, or your house just does not feel like yours, a home remodel can change all of that.
At Luz Builders, we have been remodeling homes across Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley for over 11 years. We handle everything from design and permits to demolition and final finishes. You get one team, one point of contact, and a home that actually fits your life.
We are not a franchise or a referral service. We are a family-owned construction company based in West Hills. When you call us, you talk to the people doing the work. That is how we have built our reputation on quality and trust.
What We Do in a Home Remodel
Every home is different. Here is what we typically handle when we remodel a house.
Whole Home Renovation
Full gut remodels where we strip everything down to the studs and rebuild. New layout, new plumbing, new electrical, new finishes. We take your existing house and turn it into something that feels brand new without having to move.
Open Floor Plans
Removing walls to create open living spaces is one of the most popular remodeling projects we do. We handle the structural engineering, install proper headers and beams, and create a layout that flows naturally between your kitchen, dining, and living areas.
Flooring & Finishes
Hardwood, luxury vinyl plank, tile, or natural stone. We remove old flooring, level the subfloor, and install new materials throughout your home. We also handle baseboards, trim, crown molding, and all the finishing details that pull a room together.
Windows & Doors
New energy-efficient windows and doors make a huge difference in comfort, noise reduction, and your energy bills. We handle the framing, installation, and trim work. Sliding glass doors, French doors, picture windows, whatever fits your home.
Interior & Exterior Paint
A fresh coat of paint is the fastest way to transform a space. We handle prep, priming, and application with quality paints that last. Interior and exterior, including drywall repair, texture matching, and trim painting.
Structural Changes
Moving walls, adding support beams, raising ceilings, or reinforcing foundations. Structural work is serious and we do it right. We work with licensed structural engineers and pull all necessary permits to make sure your home is safe and up to code.
Electrical & Plumbing Upgrades
Older homes often need their electrical panels upgraded and plumbing replaced. We swap out old wiring, add circuits, install new fixtures, replace galvanized pipes, and bring everything up to current building codes. All work is done by licensed professionals.
Energy Efficiency Upgrades
New insulation, dual-pane windows, LED lighting, and upgraded HVAC systems. We help you reduce your energy bills and make your home more comfortable year-round. Many of these upgrades also qualify for rebates and tax credits in California.

What Our Clients Say
We hired them for a full bathroom remodel and they were great to work with. They showed us material options, explained everything clearly, and the final result looks amazing. My neighbors keep asking who did the work.
They redid our whole kitchen and it came out better than we expected. The crew was professional, showed up on time every day, and kept the workspace clean. Would hire them again without thinking twice.
Honest people. They gave us a fair price, stuck to it, and the work was top quality. You can tell they actually care about what they do. Rare to find that these days.
We had them build an ADU in our backyard. They handled the permits, the design, everything. We were worried it would drag on forever but they finished right on schedule. Really happy with how it turned out.
Got a second story addition done on our house. Big project, lots of moving parts. They kept us updated every step of the way. No surprises on the bill either, which I really appreciated. Solid team.
Luz Builders replaced our roof after it started leaking last winter. They came out the same week, gave us an honest quote, and had the whole thing done in three days. Very professional and clean crew.
We got quotes from five different contractors for our home remodel. Luz Builders wasn't the cheapest but they were the most thorough in explaining what needed to be done. Glad we went with them. The results speak for themselves.
They converted our garage into a studio ADU for my mother-in-law. It came out beautiful. The whole family is happy. They treated us with respect and were patient with all our questions. Highly recommend.

Home Remodeling FAQ
How much does a home remodel cost in Los Angeles?
Home remodeling costs in Los Angeles vary widely depending on the size of your home and what you want done. A partial remodel focusing on one or two rooms typically costs between $50,000 and $100,000. A whole home renovation for a mid-size house usually runs $100,000 to $250,000. High-end full gut remodels with custom finishes, layout changes, and structural work can go from $250,000 to $500,000 or more. We provide a detailed written estimate after walking through your home so you know exactly what to expect.
How long does a whole home remodel take?
A whole home remodel typically takes between 3 and 8 months depending on the scope of work. Smaller remodels that focus on cosmetic updates and a couple of rooms can be done in 2 to 3 months. A full gut remodel with structural changes, new plumbing and electrical, and custom finishes usually takes 5 to 8 months. We give you a clear timeline before we start and keep you updated throughout the project.
Do I need permits for a home remodel in Los Angeles?
Yes, most home remodels in Los Angeles require permits if the work involves structural changes, plumbing, electrical, or changes to the building footprint. Cosmetic updates like painting, new flooring, or replacing fixtures in the same location typically do not need a permit. We handle all permits and inspections for you so you do not have to deal with the city.
Can I stay in my home during a remodel?
It depends on the scope of work. For partial remodels where we are working on one section of the house at a time, most homeowners stay in the home. For a full gut remodel where we are tearing out walls, replacing plumbing, and rewiring the house, it is usually better to stay somewhere else for a few months. We will give you an honest recommendation based on your specific project.
What is the best return on investment for a home remodel?
In the Los Angeles market, kitchens and bathrooms consistently deliver the best ROI, typically returning 60 to 80 percent of the investment. Open floor plan conversions, energy efficiency upgrades like new windows and insulation, and adding usable square footage through room additions also add strong value. We can help you prioritize the projects that make the most sense for your home and your goals.
Where do I start with a home remodel?
Start by calling us at (818) 312-5312 or filling out our contact form. We will come to your home, walk through every room with you, and talk about what you want to change. From there, we put together a design plan and a detailed estimate. There is no cost and no obligation for the initial consultation.

Permits and Regulations for Home Remodeling in LA
The City of Los Angeles requires permits for most remodeling work that goes beyond cosmetic changes. If you are moving walls, changing plumbing or electrical, adding square footage, or altering the structure of your home, you need a permit. Working without permits can result in fines, problems when you sell, and insurance issues.
We handle the entire permit process for every project. We submit plans, schedule inspections, and make sure everything is signed off before we consider a project complete. You should never have to worry about whether your remodel was done to code.
Home Remodeling Trends in Los Angeles (2025-2026)

- Natural materials like wood, stone, and concrete replacing synthetic surfaces for a warmer, more authentic feel
