Our process

Our Westchester Process

  1. Consultation

    Your specialist meets with you in your Westchester 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.

Local know-how

Remodeling in Westchester: Local Know-How

Four things that shape a Westchester remodel.

  • Post-War Homes on Generous Lots

    Kentwood, North Kentwood and Loyola Village are full of 1940s and 1950s homes on generous lots, minutes from the jobs of Silicon Beach.

    We check conditions behind walls and floors before we price, so the plan and the estimate reflect the home's age.

  • Open-Concept Conversions

    Post-war floor plans were often built as separate rooms. Opening them up usually means removing walls, which needs a structural review and often a new beam.

    We design the layout in 3D, handle the engineering and permits, and sequence the work so you see the result before we build.

  • Garage Conversions and ADUs

    Westchester's lots and its location near Playa Vista and LAX create steady demand for garage conversions and ADUs that serve family or rental use.

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

  • Airport-Adjacent Review

    Properties near LAX can face added review, such as FAA height rules or overlay requirements, depending on the parcel.

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

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.

FAQ

RnD Builders Westchester FAQs

How much does remodeling with RnD Builders cost in Westchester?

RnD Builders prices from the exact scope you approve. Interior remodels generally run $75,000 to $250,000, kitchens $35,000 to $150,000, bathrooms $25,000 to $85,000, garage conversions $140,000 to $200,000 and detached ADUs $220,000 to $350,000, with additions from $450 per square foot and custom homes from $650 per square foot. Structural work for open layouts can also add to a project. Larger or more complex projects can also run higher, and the written estimate confirms the exact price.

How long does remodeling take in Westchester?

Plan on weeks for a single room and months for a whole home. Kitchens are guaranteed within 28 days, bathrooms run about 3 weeks, garage conversions about 3 to 6 weeks for basic work, ADUs within 3 months of construction start and whole-home remodels 4 to 6 months. Westchester's mild weather allows steady work through the year, so winter and summer schedules stay similar. We set a firm deadline once the design and permits are settled.

Who handles permits for remodeling in Westchester?

RnD Builders prepares the plans, submits them to the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety, handles plan check corrections and coordinates the inspections. LADBS has a West Los Angeles office that serves the area, and we confirm the right pathway for your scope.

Do kitchen and bathroom remodels need a full plan check in Westchester?

Not always. LADBS lists kitchen and bathroom remodels for residential buildings with no structural changes among its express permit projects. Anything that changes structure, such as removing a wall, goes through plan check, and we tell you which pathway applies at the consultation.

Can I build an ADU in Westchester?

Generally yes. Los Angeles allows ADUs on lots zoned for single-family and multifamily use, and they must follow zoning, building and residential codes. We confirm feasibility for your lot, then handle design, permits and construction through final inspection.

What does a garage conversion cost in Westchester?

Garage conversions generally run $140,000 to $200,000 and take about 3 to 6 weeks for basic work, and new detached ADUs run $220,000 to $350,000. Cost depends on size, site conditions and finishes, and your written estimate confirms the exact price.

Are Westchester homes good candidates for open-concept remodels?

Generally yes. Post-war homes here were frequently built as separate rooms, and opening them up usually means removing walls, which needs a structural review and often a new beam. We also assess the framing first, design the layout in 3D and handle the engineering and permits.

What does kitchen remodeling cost in Westchester?

Kitchens generally 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 also run higher, and the written estimate confirms the exact price after we see your space.

Does being near LAX affect my Westchester remodel?

It can. Parcels close to the airport can be subject to height limits set by the FAA and to added overlay rules, depending on location. We confirm your parcel's status upfront so that the design and the schedule account for any added review.

Can RnD Builders handle large estates and new construction in Westchester?

Yes. We also take on multi-story homes, expansive outdoor spaces and complex structural work. Custom homes start at $650 per square foot and generally take 11 to 20 months, and we handle lot evaluation, design, engineering, permits and construction. Your written estimate confirms the exact price.

What if my Westchester lot is flat or elevated?

Both work. Flat lots are usually more straightforward, while elevated or sloped lots bring grading, retaining walls and drainage planning. We evaluate the site early so the plan, the schedule and the estimate reflect the terrain.

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

RnD Builders designs, permits and builds under one roof, with 3D renderings before construction, itemized written proposals and a Woodland Hills office serving Westchester. Whoever you hire, check for a valid California license, a clear written contract and every required permit. Our California contractor license number is 1081122, and the CSLB website shows its status. In California, a license is required once a project needs a permit or reaches $1,000 in labor and materials, so verify any contractor before you hire.

How does RnD Builders prevent surprise costs in Westchester?

Every estimate is itemized by scope and selection, and we walk the property before we price it. On 1940s and 1950s homes we check framing, plumbing and electrical before pricing. If the scope changes, you sign off in writing first, which keeps the project in line with the budget agreed in your contract.

Which Westchester neighborhoods does RnD Builders serve?

We serve Kentwood, North Kentwood and Loyola Village, plus nearby Playa del Rey, Playa Vista and the wider west Los Angeles and South Bay areas. Ventura County is our main focus, such as Thousand Oaks, Newbury Park, Camarillo, Santa Rosa Valley, Oxnard, Ventura, Simi Valley and Moorpark. We also serve across Los Angeles County. This includes Westlake Village, Calabasas, Agoura Hills, Woodland Hills and Porter Ranch. We also serve Malibu, West Hills, Chatsworth, Northridge, Santa Clarita, Valencia, Pacific Palisades, Pasadena, Altadena and the South Bay. Ask us if you are not sure we cover your address.
