General Contractor in Hollywood - Licensed & Insured, Written Fixed-Price Quotes

Fast, Reliable General Contractor Across Hollywood

A general contractor in Hollywood is the licensed professional who pulls permits, schedules the trades, and carries the job from demolition to final inspection. For most Hollywood kitchens and baths, that means a remodel runs $9,000 – $45,000, while a room addition or ADU starts around $45,000 and can reach $220,000 on hillside lots. Our crews serve Hollywood from the Los Angeles office, and when you call (936) 259-2607, you’ll reach a live person who can schedule your free written estimate. Trevor Nash leads our team, and he’s the person who signs off on every written price and written guarantee before work begins.

Why Penhallow Remodeling Is Hollywood’s Preferred General Contractor Company

Hollywood homeowners call us because we write the price down before we pick up a tool. That matters here more than most places. A 1920s courtyard building near Franklin Avenue and a 1960s hillside home off Laurel Canyon have almost nothing in common structurally, yet both hide the same expensive surprises once walls come open. We build allowances for those conditions into the contract, in writing, before demolition starts. No other General Contractor team serving Hollywood explains that split the way we do.

The reviews we get from Hollywood customers tend to mention two things: the crew showed up in the arrival window we gave, and the final invoice matched the written price. That’s not accidental. It’s how we operate across every project we run in Hollywood, from single-family kitchens in the flatlands to garage conversions up Beachwood Canyon. Our background-checked, uniformed technicians arrive the same way on a $5,000 bathroom refresh as they do on a $130,000 addition. And when something fails inside 365 days, the Done Right Promise means we return at no charge. Written, signed, and honored.

General Contractor Services in Hollywood

General Contractor Services in Hollywood means coordinating the trades, the permit office, the structural engineer, and the homeowner under one written contract. When a Hollywood homeowner calls us, they’re usually at one of two points: they’ve bought a pre-war unit that needs a kitchen or bath brought up to code, or they’re planning an addition, ADU, or garage conversion and need someone to run the whole job. A flat-lot kitchen remodel in Hollywood runs $14,000 – $45,000. A small bath runs $5,000 – $12,000. A garage conversion runs $30,000 – $80,000. Those numbers are the Hollywood market, and they’re the numbers we put in writing before we start.

Kitchen and Bath Remodels in Older Hollywood Stock

Most kitchens we open in Hollywood’s 1920s – 1940s buildings have knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring hiding behind the plaster. The permit office won’t let us close a wall without upgrading it. We write an electrical allowance into the contract so that upgrade doesn’t become a surprise at inspection. Same goes for the cement board substrate (the moisture-resistant layer behind your tile) that original tubs and showers often lack entirely.

Additions, ADUs, and Garage Conversions

Hollywood’s flat grid and canyon streets create two different addition jobs. A standard addition off a street-facing lot goes through the normal plan-check cycle. A hillside ADU off Nichols Canyon may need geotechnical review, fire-rated assemblies, and a crane plan before footings go in. We handle both, and the written price accounts for the difference before work starts.

Construction Company in Hollywood

Construction Company work in Hollywood means being the single point of responsibility for everything from the first permit application to the final occupancy sign-off. When a Hollywood homeowner asks us to run a whole-home remodel or a room addition, they’re hiring us to coordinate structural, plumbing, electrical, tile, cabinetry, and finishes under one General Contractor in Hollywood agreement. That’s the job. The price for that kind of work here runs $45,000 – $130,000 for a home addition and $90,000 – $220,000 for a full ADU.

Whole-Home Remodels and Structural Work

We opened up a 1926 Spanish Colonial Revival fourplex near Beachwood Canyon for a bathroom remodel, and once the original stucco and tile came off we found outdated knob-and-tube wiring feeding the bathroom rough-in, undersized floor framing that had been sistered with non-load-bearing material decades ago, and failed waterproofing behind the original tile. Our general contractor suspended the schedule, pulled permit revisions for the electrical upgrade and framing, and the homeowner approved a written change order before we touched a single stud. Final inspection sign-off cleared on the first re-inspection. That’s the difference between a construction company that plans for Hollywood’s older stock and one that quotes a number and hopes.

Permit Coordination and Code Compliance

Hollywood’s flatlands contain one of LA’s densest concentrations of 1920s – 1940s Spanish Colonial Revival and Art Deco courtyard apartments subject to the Mandatory Soft-Story Retrofit Ordinance, while the Hollywood Hills lots above face Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone non-combustible construction requirements. No neighboring community combines both a mandatory seismic retrofit backlog on pre-war apartment stock and active hillside fire-resistant construction requirements at this density. We know which ordinance applies to your parcel before we quote the work.

Trusted Brands We Service in Hollywood

We install materials from brands that carry their own warranties alongside ours: Cambria quartz countertops, Kohler fixtures, James Hardie siding, KraftMaid cabinetry. For Hollywood homes, where fire-rated assemblies and seismic retrofits are often part of the scope, we also specify products like Abodu ADU systems and Mighty Buildings prefab panels when the lot and the budget suit them. We stock common replacement parts locally for Hollywood customers, which shortens turnaround when a fixture or a hardware order shows up wrong.

Common General Contractor Problems We See in Hollywood Homes

• Hidden wiring behind original walls. Knob-and-tube and aluminum wiring in 1920s – 1940s Hollywood stock triggers electrical upgrades the moment a permit is pulled. We carry a written allowance for it.
• Mandatory Soft-Story Retrofit Ordinance scope. Flat-lot apartment buildings and courtyard structures built before 1978 often require seismic retrofits when we open load-bearing walls. We check parcel status before quoting.
• VHFHSZ fire-code triggers near the hill interface. A renovation that’s standard a mile south toward Melrose may need fire-rated assemblies, non-combustible decking, or ember-resistant vents if the property sits in the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone boundary. We verify before we price.
• Hillside access and staging constraints. Flag lots and single-lane canyon driveways off Beachwood, Laurel, or Nichols Canyons double mobilization planning time compared to a flat-straight street lot. We write the staging plan into the contract so the crane, the concrete pour, and the material drops are priced honestly.
