RnD Builders: Home Remodeling Contractor in Encino

Encino sits on the north slope of the Santa Monica Mountains in the middle of the southern San Fernando Valley, and its streets run from the flats along Ventura Boulevard up into the Encino Hills. That mix of established flatland homes, mid-century ranch houses and hillside estates means every Encino remodel starts with the lot. Our office is at 21250 Califa St in Woodland Hills.

As a home remodeling contractor in Encino, RnD Builders helps homeowners bring new life and value into their properties. Our 5-star design and build team takes on kitchens, bathrooms, additions, ADUs and whole-home remodels with the same dedication to quality and detail, and we handle the Los Angeles plans, permits and inspections.

We recently completed a full kitchen remodel with R&D Builders and are very happy with both the experience and the finished product.

Roi, one of the owners, was our primary point of contact. He’s personable, charismatic, and genuinely easy to work with. He has high standards, pays attention to the details, and clearly cares about making sure his customers get exactly what they envisioned.

R&D coordinated all aspects of the remodel, including demolition, framing, drywall, insulation, plumbing, electrical, flooring, countertops, and stucco work. The drywall and countertop teams were particularly excellent, and the quality of the finished work shows.

What impressed us most was how smoothly Roi kept everything moving. The different trades flowed from one to the next without long delays, and the entire project was completed in about a month. He was also flexible when we changed the scope of work and consistently followed through to make sure everything was done right.

Competitive pricing, excellent workmanship, great communication, and a genuinely positive experience from start to finish. We would happily recommend Roi and R&D Builders!
Response from RnD Builders IncDave! Thank you so much for the kind words and for trusting us with your home. It was a pleasure working with you, and we’re so happy you’re enjoying the finished project!

I connected with Roi via Reddit on a post I had regarding a construction question. I live in Sacramento and Roo lives in LA. I sent him my building plans and we hopped on a call. Roy took the time to speak to me about my plans, go over all of his concerns and details about our project. He did this out of his own time and willingness just to be a helping hand on a project he has 0 financial incentive on. we spoke for over an hour on the phone and provided his professional opinion about my ADU remodel and inspection items I had concerns with. Roi was extremely detailed and went through various scenarios to ensure our course of action and engineering recommendations made sense before spending additional money on our project. I likely will never work with him as I’m on the opposite end of the state but purely based off of my convo with him, if I was in LA I’d love to get the chance to.
Response from RnD Builders IncElliott! It was our pleasure to help and give advise on the current situation you guys have. Thank you for your kind words.

Local know-how

Encino Local Know-How

Four things that shape an Encino remodel.

  • Hillside or Flat: Know Your Lot

    North of Ventura Boulevard the lots are mostly flat, while the Encino Hills climb into the Santa Monica Mountains. Hillside parcels fall under the Baseline Hillside Ordinance, with limits on floor area, height and grading.

    We check your parcel first, so the plan and the estimate reflect the rules that apply.

  • Mulholland Corridor

    Some Encino properties near Mulholland Drive can fall under the Mulholland Scenic Parkway Specific Plan, which adds a review step for certain scopes of work.

    We confirm your parcel's status upfront so there are no surprises after design.

  • Protected Native Trees

    Encino is named for its oaks. Los Angeles protects native oaks, black walnut, western sycamore and California bay, and work near them can need a permit.

    We identify protected trees on the first visit and design around them.

  • Mid-Century Homes and Open Layouts

    Many Encino homes were built in the 1950s to 1970s with compartmentalized floor plans. Opening them up usually means removing walls, which needs a structural review.

    We design the layout in 3D, handle the engineering and permits, and check conditions behind walls and floors before we price.

What RnD Plans For in Encino

RnD Builders plans for each one from the first visit.

  • Plans and permits

    Encino projects are permitted by the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety, whose Valley plan check counter is in the Van Nuys office.

    LADBS Van Nuys office
  • Express permits

    Kitchen and bathroom remodels with no structural changes are among the projects LADBS lists for express permits.

    LADBS express permit bulletin
  • Hillside homes

    In designated hillside areas, the Baseline Hillside Ordinance limits residential floor area and sets other standards for additions and new homes.

  • Protected trees

    Los Angeles protects native oaks, Southern California black walnut, western sycamore and California bay, so trees on your lot are checked before design.

Our process

Our Encino Process

  1. Consultation

    Your specialist meets with you in your Encino home to gather important details about your vision. We match you with a designer who fits your project and knows the local area. After this visit, our team puts together your initial, no-obligation quote.

  2. Design & Plan

    3D modeling lets you preview your project and make changes before construction begins. We update the rendering until each detail at every scale meets your expectations.

  3. Select Materials

    We partner only with trusted suppliers known for quality. Choose from high-quality and eco-friendly materials, or order custom items to match unique design tastes.

  4. Build Begins

    Once the timeline is set, our team gets to work. Our organized construction phase respects your home and routine while ensuring deadlines are met. If you'd like midproject adjustments, we gladly accommodate them.

  5. Handover

    The final walkthrough involves checking that everything meets your expectations. Only with 100% approval do we hand over the finished space and let you enjoy your updated home.

FAQ

RnD Builders Encino FAQs

How much does a remodel with RnD Builders cost in Encino?

For reference, an interior remodel in Encino runs $75,000 to $250,000 and a kitchen $35,000 to $150,000. Bathrooms run $25,000 to $85,000, garage conversions $140,000 to $200,000 and detached ADUs $220,000 to $350,000, while additions start at $450 per square foot and custom homes at $650. Hillside review and structural work for open layouts can change an Encino project. Your personalized quote itemizes labor, design, materials and permitting, and your written estimate sets the exact price.

How long does a project take in Encino?

Scope, materials and complexity set your deadline. As a guide, a kitchen is guaranteed within 28 days and a bathroom takes about 3 weeks. Garage conversions take 3 to 6 weeks for basic work, ADUs are complete within 3 months of construction start and whole-home remodels run 4 to 6 months.

Who handles permits for a Encino remodel?

RnD Builders prepares the plans and submittals and manages corrections and inspections. Encino is inside the City of Los Angeles, so permits run through the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety, and plan check for the Valley is handled at its Van Nuys office or online.

What does an ADU cost in Encino?

New detached ADUs typically run $220,000 to $350,000, and garage conversions $140,000 to $200,000, depending on size, site conditions and finishes. Los Angeles allows ADUs on lots zoned for single-family and multifamily use, and hillside lots can add review, so we confirm your lot first. Your written estimate confirms the exact price.

What does a garage conversion cost in Encino?

Garage conversions typically run $140,000 to $200,000, and basic conversions take about 3 to 6 weeks of construction. Size, utilities and finishes change the number, so we confirm your exact price in a written estimate after we see the garage.

Do hillside rules apply to my Encino home?

They can. Parcels in a designated hillside area fall under the Baseline Hillside Ordinance, which limits residential floor area, height and grading, and parcels near Mulholland Drive may also fall under the Mulholland Scenic Parkway Specific Plan. We check your parcel before design so the plan matches the rules.

Can I remove or work near an oak tree in Encino?

Not without checking first. Los Angeles protects native oaks, Southern California black walnut, western sycamore and California bay, and work near them can require a permit. We identify protected trees on the first visit and design around them where we can.

What does a kitchen remodel cost in Encino?

Kitchens typically run $35,000 to $150,000, depending on size, layout changes, cabinetry and finishes, and a kitchen is guaranteed within 28 days. Larger kitchens and premium materials can run higher, and we confirm the exact price in a written estimate.

Can I add square footage to my Encino home?

Yes. Room additions start at $450 per square foot, and we design the changes in 3D first so you can adjust them before construction. Lot size, setbacks and local floor area limits decide how much you can add, so we check them before design starts.

Can RnD Builders build a custom home in Encino?

Yes. Whether you have a vacant lot or want to demolish and rebuild, we guide you through site evaluation, design, engineering, permits and construction. Custom homes start at $650 per square foot, and your written estimate confirms the price for your site.

Can I see a project RnD Builders completed near Encino?

Yes. We do not yet have an Encino project on our site, so this page features our Woodland Hills custom home, just west of Encino, and we can arrange references during your estimate.

Why hire RnD Builders as your home remodeling contractor in Encino?

One team handles design, permits and construction, so plans are drawn with the build in mind. RnD Builders gives Encino homeowners 3D renderings, itemized written proposals and a single point of contact. Our office is at 21250 Califa St in Woodland Hills. Whoever you hire, confirm the license, the written contract and the permits. RnD Builders holds California contractor license #1081122, which you can look up on the CSLB website. A license is required in California for work that needs a permit or totals $1,000 or more, so ask any contractor for their number before you sign.

How does RnD Builders prevent surprise costs in Encino?

Your written estimate lists the scope and each selection, and we check the site on the first visit. Many Encino homes are decades old, so we check framing, plumbing and electrical before pricing. If something changes, you approve it in writing before it is added, so the project stays in line with the budget agreed in your contract.

Which Encino neighborhoods and nearby cities does RnD Builders serve?
