AfterFast, Reliable General Contractor Across Westlake Village
If you’re planning a remodel, addition, or full home renovation in Westlake Village, you need a General Contractor who understands the city’s two-gate approval process before the first hammer swings. Westlake Village is not like neighboring Thousand Oaks or Agoura Hills. Here, nearly every project has to clear both the City building department and your HOA’s Architectural Review Committee, and a contractor who files those out of order can stall your job for weeks. Trevor Nash and our team coordinate both gates from day one so your project stays on schedule. Call us at (936) 259-2607 for a free estimate and a written price before any work begins.
Why Penhallow Remodeling Is Westlake Village’s Preferred General Contractor Company
Homeowners on Lindero Canyon Road, in the First Neighborhood, and up in the Southshore Hills call us because we show up knowing what their HOA will and won’t approve before we write the bid. We have walked enough Westlake Village projects through the Architectural Review process to tell you whether that exterior color change or roof tile profile will fly, and we build that review timeline into the schedule up front. Our broad-angle approach means your remodel, room addition, or full home renovation in Westlake Village is handled by one crew under one written guarantee.
We put the price in writing before demo day. Every project under the Kingswell standard includes a 365-Day Done Right Promise: if something fails inside a year, we come back and fix it at no charge, no re-inspection fee, no second service call. A live person answers our phone 24/7, and every technician who arrives at your home in Westlake Village is background-checked and uniformed.
Licensed General Contractor in Westlake Village
A Licensed General Contractor in Westlake Village handles the full scope: pull permits, file the HOA Architectural Review packet, schedule the trade work, and bring the project through final inspection with both the City and the HOA. You need us when a project touches structure, electrical, plumbing, or exterior changes; a licensed GC is also your safeguard when the job exposes issues behind walls that a handyman’s bid never accounted for.
Two-Gate Permitting and Approvals
Westlake Village projects must clear two separate gates: the City of Westlake Village building department and the neighborhood HOA Architectural Review Committee. ARC submittals routinely require color-matched exterior materials, specific roof tile profiles, and an approved landscaping plan before the city permit is finalized. Skipping ARC and pulling the city permit first triggers stop-work pressure and mid-project change orders. We sequence both submittals together, so you never eat the cost of swapping materials after the fact.
Kitchen and Bathroom Remodels with the 365-Day Done Right Promise
A typical kitchen remodel in Westlake Village runs $14,000 to $45,000, depending on layout, cabinet line, and countertop material. Bathroom remodels run $9,000 to $28,000. We install Cambria and Silestone quartz, KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, and Kohler and Moen fixtures, with a written guarantee on every job. If the work fails inside the guarantee period, we come back and make it right, no charge.
Residential General Contractor in Westlake Village
A Residential General Contractor in Westlake Village manages remodels, room additions, garage conversions, and accessory dwelling units on single-family properties governed by the City and, in most Westlake Village neighborhoods, an HOA. This role matters most when your home was built between 1967 and the late 1980s; that 1,800 to 4,500 sq ft Spanish Colonial or Ranch often hides original copper and cast-iron plumbing, an 100-amp panel, and aging concrete tile roofs behind the drywall.
Room Additions and ADUs
A home addition in Westlake Village runs $45,000 to $130,000. ADU construction runs $90,000 to $220,000. Both projects trigger ARC review for rooflines, exterior materials, and landscaping, and both must comply with California’s WUI codes because Westlake Village sits in a designated Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone. Ember-resistant vents, non-combustible eave assemblies, and Class A roofing are non-negotiable at plan check.
Garage Conversions
A garage conversion in Westlake Village runs $30,000 to $80,000. When we convert your garage to living space, we handle the framing, insulation, electrical, flooring, and finish work, and we file your ARC submittal alongside the permit. This is the difference between a conversion that passes final inspection the first time and one that gets flagged for materials the HOA never approved.
Trusted Brands We Service in Westlake Village
We install material from brands that carry their own manufacturer warranties alongside our 365-Day Done Right Promise. For countertops, we work with Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone quartz. Cabinetry comes from KraftMaid or Wellborn. Fixtures from Kohler, Moen, Delta, and Grohe. Siding from James Hardie. For your pavers and hardscape, we source Belgard and Unilock. We do not service Abodu, Cover, Dvele, or Mighty Buildings, but we are happy to coordinate with any of those factory-built ADU systems if you are comparing options. Our crews serve Westlake Village locally, with dispatch and scheduling coordinated from our Los Angeles office.
Common General Contractor Problems We See in Westlake Village Homes
- Skipping HOA Architectural Review before pulling the city permit. The ARC often requires color-matched exteriors, specific roof tile profiles, and landscaping approval before the city finalizes the permit. Skipping this gate triggers costly material change orders mid-project.
- Treating WUI requirements as optional on a remodel. Because Westlake Village sits in a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone and was fully evacuated in the 2018 Woolsey Fire, plan check enforces ember-resistant vents, non-combustible eave assemblies, and Class A roofing even on remodels, not just new construction.
- Bidding a system replacement on a 40 – 55 year old home without allowances. Original copper and cast-iron plumbing, aging subfloors, and 100-amp electrical panels surface the moment walls open. A bid without those allowances leaves you holding change orders.
- Pulling a permit from the wrong jurisdiction. The City boundary runs along the LA County/Ventura County line, so contractors working across the broader Westlake Village area must confirm which agency actually governs each parcel before filing. A wrong-agency permit voids all the work done under it.

FAQs About General Contractor in Westlake Village
We file it for you. Trevor Nash and our team prepare the full Architectural Review Committee packet, including the color samples, roof tile profile, and landscaping plan the ARC requires, and we submit it alongside the city permit application. You do not need to manage two approval tracks. Call (936) 259-2607 and we will walk you through the exact packet for your project before anything gets filed.
Plan for two to five weeks, depending on the ARC’s meeting calendar and whether the City requests plan revisions. We build that window into your schedule from the first bid, and we sequence the work so the house is never sitting open waiting on a committee. The real timeline killer is filing out of order. We file both gates at once. Call (936) 259-2607 for a schedule tailored to your specific neighborhood’s ARC cadence.
Expect the walls to reveal original copper and cast-iron plumbing, a 100-amp electrical panel, and possibly aging subfloor. Our bids for Westlake Village homes from the 1967 – 1988 building cycle include allowances for those systems so you are not hit with change orders after demo. We surface these items during the walkthrough and put them in the written price. Call (936) 259-2607 to schedule a walkthrough.
WUI applies to remodels too, not just new construction. Because Westlake Village sits in a California-designated Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, plan check enforces ember-resistant vents, non-combustible eave assemblies, and Class A roofing on significant remodel work. A contractor who treats WUI as an afterthought will get a plan check rejection. We build WUI compliance into the first submittal. Call (936) 259-2607 for an exact quote; estimates are free.
We verify the jurisdiction before we pull the first permit. The Westlake Village city boundary runs along the LA County/Ventura County line, so parcel-level verification is the first step on every job. We check the governing agency for your specific parcel early in the bid process, so the permit is pulled from the correct office the first time. Call (936) 259-2607 and give us your address; we will confirm jurisdiction during the free estimate.
