Sherman Oaks is two markets: big flat lots north of Ventura that take additions and ADUs easily, and hillside lots south of it where the city's hillside rules decide how big you can go.
What we do most in Sherman Oaks
Complete Home Renovation
The entire house in one project, instead of one room every other year.
Room Additions

Kitchen & Bathroom Remodeling
New kitchens and bathrooms, from a weekend-level refresh to moving walls and plumbing.Building rules in Sherman Oaks
Sherman Oaks is in the City of Los Angeles, so permits run through LADBS. Hillside lots south of Ventura Boulevard fall under the Baseline Hillside Ordinance with grading, haul route and height rules. Flat lots north of the boulevard are well suited to additions, pools and detached ADUs.
