Local know-how

Manhattan Beach Local Know-How

Four things that shape a Manhattan Beach remodel.

  • Small Lots, Tight Setbacks

    Manhattan Beach remodeling is a game of inches: small lots, tight setbacks, walk-street logistics in the Sand Section and design review standards that reflect some of the highest property values in California.

    We plan material staging, parking and neighbor relations as carefully as the construction itself.

  • Coastal Zone Review

    Properties inside the city's coastal zone need a coastal permit unless exempt. The city issues its own coastal permits under its certified Local Coastal Program.

    Where coastal review applies, we manage the submittal and design to its requirements from the start.

  • Section by Section

    The Sand Section, Hill Section, Tree Section and the neighborhoods east of them each have their own lot patterns and housing styles.

    We build what fits: high-end kitchens and baths, interior reconfigurations that capture light and ocean air. Full remodels of Tree Section cottages and Sand Section townhomes.

  • Work Hours and Neighbors

    City rules limit construction to weekdays from 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM and Saturdays from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with no work on Sundays or city holidays.

    We schedule crews and deliveries around those hours and keep neighbors informed.

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.

How long does an RnD Builders project take in Manhattan Beach?

Manhattan Beach schedules follow the work hours the city allows. Kitchens are guaranteed within 28 days, bathrooms take about 3 weeks, garage conversions about 3 to 6 weeks for basic work, ADUs are finished within 3 months of the first day of construction, while a whole-home remodel runs 4 to 6 months. Design, permits and any coastal review come first on larger projects.

Your RnD Builders project manager handles the permitting process. We prepare and submit the required documents and follow up with the Building and Safety Division of Manhattan Beach Community Development, so you do not deal with the paperwork. In addition, permit and plan-check fees vary with the size and scope of your project. They are itemized in your written estimate.

Does my Manhattan Beach project need a coastal permit?

If your property is inside the city's coastal zone, a coastal permit is required unless the project is exempt or excluded. The city issues its own coastal permits under its Local Coastal Program. In addition, where coastal review applies, we manage the submittal and design to its requirements from the start. The city's planners can confirm whether your address is in the zone.

What are the construction hours in Manhattan Beach?

City rules allow construction Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM and Saturday from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Work is not allowed on Sundays or city-observed holidays. We also schedule crews and deliveries around those hours and tell neighbors what to expect.

Can RnD Builders work on small lots and walk streets in Manhattan Beach?

Yes. We also plan staging, deliveries and crew parking around tight lots and walk-street constraints and keep neighbors informed throughout. Logistics planning is part of our proposal.

Can I build an ADU or convert a garage in Manhattan Beach?

Generally yes. Also, manhattan Beach regulates ADUs and junior ADUs under Chapter 10.74 of its municipal code alongside state law. A garage conversion can be a faster route to extra living space. Setbacks and parking rules depend on your lot, so we confirm what fits at the consultation.

What does a bathroom remodel with RnD Builders cost in Manhattan Beach?

Bathrooms generally run $25,000 to $85,000, depending on size, layout changes and finishes. A standard bathroom remodel takes about 3 weeks.

What does a kitchen remodel with RnD Builders cost in Manhattan Beach?

Kitchens generally run $35,000 to $150,000, depending on size, layout changes, cabinetry and finishes. A kitchen is guaranteed within 28 days. Larger kitchens and premium materials can run higher, while your written estimate confirms the exact price after we see your space.

How long does it take to build a custom home in Manhattan Beach?

A custom home typically takes 11 to 20 months from design through construction, with design and planning, permits and any coastal review coming before the build itself. Custom homes start at $650 per square foot, and your project manager keeps you updated at every step.

Why hire RnD Builders as your home remodeling contractor in Manhattan Beach?

RnD Builders designs, permits and builds under one roof, with 3D renderings before construction, itemized written proposals and a 5-star Google reputation. In addition, whoever you hire, check for a valid California license, a clear written contract and every required permit. License #1081122 is our California general contractor license, and the CSLB website lets you verify it. California requires a license for any project that needs a permit or totals $1,000 or more, so request the license number from every contractor you consider.

How does RnD Builders prevent surprise costs in Manhattan Beach?

Your estimate is itemized by scope, and permit and plan-check fees are listed in it. We look at access, staging and existing conditions on the first visit, since tight lots can hide extra work. Any change is agreed in writing before it is added, so the project stays in line with the budget agreed in your contract.
