RnD Builders: Home Remodeling Contractor in Sherman Oaks

Sherman Oaks was founded in 1927 and named for Moses Sherman, and today it stretches from the Los Angeles River on its northern edge, across Ventura Boulevard, and into the Santa Monica Mountains. Homes north of the boulevard sit on tree-lined streets, while the hills to the south bring view lots and hillside rules, so a remodel here starts with the parcel. Our office is at 21250 Califa St in Woodland Hills.

As a home remodeling contractor in Sherman Oaks, 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

Sherman Oaks Local Know-How

Four things that shape a Sherman Oaks remodel.

  • North or South of the Boulevard

    North of Ventura Boulevard the lots are mostly flat, while the hills to the south climb into the Santa Monica Mountains. Designated hillside parcels fall under the Baseline Hillside Ordinance.

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

  • Mulholland Corridor

    Properties near Mulholland Drive can fall under the Mulholland Scenic Parkway Specific Plan, which adds review for certain scopes.

    We confirm your parcel's status upfront and plan the submittal with you.

  • Older Homes, Real Conditions

    Many Sherman Oaks homes date from the decades after the neighborhood was founded in 1927, so walls and floors can hide old wiring, plumbing and framing.

    We review existing conditions on the first visit and before we price.

  • Garage Conversions and ADUs

    Sherman Oaks lots create steady interest in garage conversions and ADUs for family, office or rental use.

    We confirm feasibility, then handle design, permits and construction.

For reference, kitchens are guaranteed within 28 days, bathrooms take about 3 weeks, garage conversions 3 to 6 weeks for basic work, ADUs under 3 months from the first day of construction and whole-home remodels 4 to 6 months. Permit approval and design come first on bigger jobs.

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.

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.

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.

Is my Sherman Oaks home north or south of the boulevard, and does it matter?

It can. Lots north of Ventura Boulevard are mostly flat, while the hills to the south can bring hillside rules, view lots and grading limits. We confirm your parcel's designation on the first visit so your design and estimate start from the right rules.

Can I add square footage to my Sherman Oaks 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 Sherman Oaks?

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 Sherman Oaks?

Yes. We do not yet have a Sherman Oaks project on our site, so this page features one of our Los Angeles kitchen remodels, and we can arrange references during your estimate.

Why hire RnD Builders as your home remodeling contractor in Sherman Oaks?

We combine design, engineering support, permits and construction in one company, which shortens the handoffs that cause delays. Our office is at 21250 Califa St in Woodland Hills. Whoever you hire for a Sherman Oaks remodel, check the license, read the written contract and confirm every required permit is pulled. 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 Sherman Oaks?

Surprise costs usually come from unchecked conditions, so we look at the site before we price. On older Sherman Oaks homes we check framing, plumbing and electrical before pricing. Your estimate is itemized, changes are agreed in writing before they are added, and the project stays in line with the budget agreed in your contract.
