RnD Builders: Home Remodeling Contractor in Studio City

Studio City sits in the southeast San Fernando Valley, just west of the Cahuenga Pass, and it runs from the family flats north of Ventura Boulevard to hillside streets that climb toward Mulholland Drive. The area was originally called Laurelwood, and its lot sizes, tree-lined streets and mix of older homes make it a strong remodel-instead-of-move market. Our office is at 21250 Califa St in Woodland Hills.

As a home remodeling contractor in Studio City, 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

Studio City Local Know-How

Four things that shape a Studio City remodel.

  • Older Homes, Real Conditions

    Many Studio City homes predate modern code, so walls and floors can hide old wiring, plumbing and framing.

    We review existing conditions on the first visit and before we price, so the plan and the estimate reflect the age of the home.

  • Flats and Hillsides

    North of Ventura Boulevard the lots are mostly flat, while streets near Fryman Canyon and Mulholland climb into the Santa Monica Mountains. Designated hillside parcels fall under the Baseline Hillside Ordinance.

    We check your parcel first, so there are no surprises after design.

  • 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.

  • Garage Conversions and ADUs

    Studio City lots and rents create steady interest in garage conversions and ADUs for family, office or rental use.

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

Our process

Our Studio City Process

  1. Consultation

    Your specialist meets with you in your Studio City 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.

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 remodel an older Studio City home without surprises?

Older homes can hide conditions behind walls and floors, so we review the home carefully on the first visit and itemize the estimate. Any change is agreed in writing before it is added, and the project stays in line with the budget agreed in your contract.

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 Studio City 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.
