Local know-how

Simi Valley Local Know-How

Four things that shape a Simi Valley remodel.

  • Well-Built Homes, Dated Interiors

    Simi Valley's 1960s to 1980s neighborhoods are full of solid homes whose interiors no longer match how families live.

    We plan updates that keep the good bones and replace the layouts, kitchens and baths that feel dated.

  • Open Kitchens and Garage Conversions

    The most common requests are open-concept kitchen conversions, bathroom remodels and garage conversions for growing families.

    We design each in 3D, handle the structural review and permits, and schedule the work to fit your household.

  • Hillside Areas

    Hillside areas of the city, such as the Big Sky neighborhood, fall under the city's Hillside Performance Standards, which add requirements for grading and site design.

    We review which standards apply to your parcel before design begins.

  • Exterior Refreshes

    New siding, entries and exterior finishes can also change how a home looks from the street. Our Simi Valley exterior transformation shows what that can mean.

    We coordinate the exterior scope with permits and any HOA requirements before work starts.

Where we work

Simi Valley and Nearby Cities

Our Simi Valley work spans the established tracts of the 1960s to 1980s and the neighborhoods around them.

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.

New siding, entries, exterior finishes and outdoor spaces. Our Simi Valley exterior remodel shows the kind of change it can make to a home's street presence, and we coordinate the scope with permits and any HOA requirements.

Why hire RnD Builders as your home remodeling contractor in Simi Valley?

RnD Builders designs, permits and builds under one roof, with 3D renderings before construction, itemized written proposals and a Woodland Hills office serving Simi Valley. Whoever you hire, check for a valid California license, a clear written contract and every required permit. RnD Builders is a licensed California general contractor, License #1081122, and you can verify it on the CSLB website. California requires a license for projects that need a permit or total $1,000 or more, so always ask any contractor for their license number.

How does RnD Builders prevent surprise costs in Simi Valley?

We quote from the exact scope you approve and itemize it, so you can see where the money goes. On homes from the 1960s to 1980s we check framing, plumbing and electrical before pricing. Site conditions are checked on the first visit, and any change is agreed in writing before it is added, so the project stays in line with the budget agreed in your contract.
