Maywood is a dense, one-square-mile city of pre-1960s stucco bungalows and courtyard apartments. Remodeling here means working with old framing, aging plumbing, and permit processes that run through Los Angeles County, not a city hall counter. We know those conditions because we work in them every week, and we quote accordingly. No vague ranges. No surprises after demo day.
Why Penhallow Remodeling Is Maywood’s Preferred General Contractor Company
Our reputation in Maywood is built on something straightforward: we put the price and the guarantee in writing before a single cabinet comes out. Homeowners here have dealt with contractors who went quiet after the first check, or who found “unexpected problems” that doubled the bill. Trevor Nash, who leads our team, set the standard that every Maywood job gets a written quote, a defined arrival window, and a signed warranty before work begins.
We answer the phone 24/7 with a live person. Our technicians are background-checked and arrive in uniform, so you know exactly who is walking through your door. When you call about a kitchen remodel on Slauson Avenue or a bathroom update near Pine Avenue Park, we know the housing stock and the local inspection realities. That local knowledge keeps your timeline realistic and your budget honest.
Construction Company in Maywood
A Construction Company in Maywood handles structural work: foundations, framing, room additions, roof replacement, and the load-bearing changes that older homes often need. When a homeowner adds a bedroom or opens a wall and finds undersized framing, the job shifts from cosmetic to structural, and the permit and inspection path changes with it. In Maywood, that path runs through LA County’s building and safety system.
Home Additions and Structural Work
A home addition in Maywood typically runs $45,000 – $130,000 depending on foundation work, square footage, and finish level. Because Maywood sits on soft alluvial soils, even a modest addition can require deeper or engineered footings to meet seismic code. We price that into the written quote rather than discovering it after excavation starts.
Roof and Foundation Repairs
Roof replacement in Maywood runs $8,000 – $20,000, and roof repair $400 – $1,800. For foundation or trenching scopes, Maywood’s Superfund legacy zone can trigger soil testing for chromium and solvents, and hazardous-material handling protocols that neighboring cities rarely face. We coordinate that testing and build the cost into the contract as a written line item.
Remodeling Contractor in Maywood
A Remodeling Contractor in Maywood focuses on transforming existing spaces: kitchens, bathrooms, and whole-home updates that bring a pre-1960s bungalow into the current code cycle without tearing it down. The work often starts with opening a wall to see what is actually behind it, and that is where our process differs from contractors who quote flat prices sight unseen.
Kitchen Remodels
A full kitchen remodel in Maywood runs $14,000 – $45,000. A smaller kitchen refresh falls between $9,000 and $20,000. Those ranges cover cabinetry, countertops, appliances, flooring, and the electrical and plumbing corrections that almost always surface in homes built before 1960. We write allowances for those corrections into the contract so they are not a surprise.
Bathroom Remodels
Bathroom remodels in Maywood run $9,000 – $28,000, with smaller bathrooms between $5,000 and $12,000. A walk-in shower installation runs $4,500 – $12,000. Behind the tile, older Maywood bathrooms often hide failed waterproofing or galvanized plumbing at the end of its service life. We open the wall, inspect, and get written approval before replacing anything.
Trusted Brands We Service in Maywood
Our General Contractor team works with recognized trade brands so the materials behind our guarantee are as solid as the promise itself. We install KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone countertops, Kohler and Moen fixtures, and James Hardie siding. For Maywood homeowners considering a modular or panelized approach, we have experience coordinating with Dvele and Mighty Buildings systems on ADU and addition projects. We carry a range of local stock for common Maywood repair scopes, which speeds turnaround on countertop and cabinet orders.
Common General Contractor Problems We See in Maywood Homes
- Cloth-wrapped wiring behind drywall. Pre-1960s Maywood bungalows frequently still have original cloth-insulated electrical wiring spliced into newer circuits. Opening a wall during a kitchen remodel without flagging it creates both a fire hazard and an inspection failure.
- Notched or undersized load-bearing framing. Decades of retrofit plumbing and drains have left many Maywood homes with joists and studs notched beyond code. This is a structural correction, not a cosmetic one, and it must be fixed and inspected before walls close.
- Asbestos and lead paint on original surfaces. Maywood’s housing stock predates the 1978 lead paint ban and the asbestos phase-out. California-mandated abatement applies before structural work can proceed, and we handle that through licensed abatement partners.
- Permits pulled through the wrong channel. Contractors who normally work in Bell or Huntington Park sometimes try to file Maywood permits at a city counter that no longer issues them. Maywood permits and inspections run through LA County, and misfiling stalls the job for weeks.

FAQs About General Contractor in Maywood
Because pre-1960s Maywood homes almost always hide cloth wiring, notched framing, asbestos adhesive, or failed waterproofing behind the drywall. We write allowances for these corrections into the contract up front, and any discovery is priced and approved in writing before we proceed. Call (936) 259-2607 for a quote that plans for what your walls actually contain.
Often yes. Maywood sits atop a Superfund legacy zone from adjacent Vernon’s industrial past, so any ground-disturbing work such as foundations, trenching, or grading can require soil testing for chromium and solvents. We coordinate the testing and build the protocol into the written price before the first shovel hits the ground.
Los Angeles County. Maywood contracted out its building and safety functions after its 2010 fiscal collapse, so permits and inspections run through LA County’s system rather than a city hall counter. We file there routinely, and we schedule inspections through the correct channel so your job does not stall waiting on a sign-off that was never going to come from city hall.
Every Maywood project gets a written price before work starts, and any change during the job such as the framing corrections on that 1940s bungalow off Slauson Avenue is presented as a written change order with a fixed cost. Nothing gets touched until you approve it in writing. That is the Kingswell Way, and it has been since 2004.
We work across all of Maywood, from Slauson Avenue down to Atlantic Boulevard and around Maywood Riverfront Park. The city is roughly one square mile, so no home is far from our crew. Call (936) 259-2607 and tell us your cross street; we will give you a real arrival window and a written estimate.
