Home Remodeling Contractor in Agoura Hills

Typical RnD Builders ranges: kitchens $35,000 to $150,000, bathrooms $25,000 to $85,000, interior remodels $75,000 to $250,000, garage conversions $140,000 to $200,000, new detached ADUs $220,000 to $350,000, room additions from $450 per square foot and custom homes from $650 per square foot. Hillside lots and fire-resistant exterior assemblies add to the investment. Larger or more complex projects can also run higher, and your written estimate confirms the exact price.

It depends on the scope. 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. A whole-home remodel runs 4 to 6 months. We give you a personalized timeline with a deadline. Design and permit approval come first on larger projects.

RnD Builders prepares the plans, submittals and corrections and manages the inspections. Plans go through the City of Agoura Hills Building and Safety Department, which completes plan review and secures all applicable city approvals before a building permit is issued.

HOA review and approval timelines vary by association. Some respond in a few weeks, while others take longer depending on their meeting schedules and submittal requirements. We also help prepare the submittal package, and the final approval timeline is set by your association.

If the project touches your exterior, such as roofing, siding, windows, decks or additions, most likely yes. Much of Agoura Hills sits in a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, exterior work there must meet Chapter 7A standards. The city mandates 100 feet of defensible space around structures. We specify compliant assemblies from the start.

Possibly. In addition, the city protects any oak tree with a trunk diameter of two inches or greater, and work in the protected zone needs city review. We check your lot for oaks during the first visit and plan the design, access and equipment around them.

Yes. We account for grading, retaining, drainage and structural considerations up front. Our design team collaborates with engineers and permitting officials to create safe, code-compliant solutions that maximize usable space and views.

Certain projects, especially those near open space or sensitive habitat, may need additional environmental review or specific construction practices, depending on city rules. We identify any potential constraints during the site assessment so they are built into the plan.

Generally yes. In addition, the city allows ADUs and JADUs on properties with an existing or proposed single-family home, and a building permit is required. Larger Old Agoura parcels are especially well suited. We also handle feasibility, design and permits.

We renovate a range of styles common to Agoura Hills, from rustic and Mediterranean to contemporary hillside homes, and tailor design decisions to each home's character. The goal is to respect the home's architectural identity while modernizing finishes and function.

Yes. Custom homes start at $650 per square foot, and hillside lots, fire-resistant construction and complex site work add to the investment. We handle design, engineering, permits and construction, and a custom home generally takes 11 to 20 months. Larger or more complex projects can also run higher, and your written estimate confirms the exact price.

RnD Builders designs, permits and builds under one roof, with 3D renderings before construction, itemized written proposals and a Woodland Hills office serving Agoura Hills. 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.

We quote from the exact scope you approve and itemize it, so you can see where the money goes. On hillside lots we also check slope and drainage. 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.
