Home Remodeling in Los Angeles​

Built to Perfection is a residential general contractor and design-build firm serving Los Angeles County and Orange County since 2001. Below are answers to the questions homeowners ask most often when considering a remodeling, ADU, custom home, or restoration project.

Company Background

  • Built to Perfection has been in business since 2001, with 25 years of residential construction experience across Los Angeles County and Orange County. The company has filed 356 lifetime building permits totaling over $2.2 million in declared value and currently manages roughly 55 active projects at any given time.

  • Built to Perfection is family-operated. Founder Asher Ben-Haim started the company in 2001 after a career in the diamond trade and still walks projects near the office personally. His son joined the company as a project manager, carrying the family business into its second generation.

  • Yes. Built to Perfection holds CSLB License #837987 (Class B General Building), carries a $25,000 bond with Merchant Bonding Company, and is fully insured. Homeowners can verify the license status directly through the California Contractors State License Board.

  • Built to Perfection is an IICRC Certified Firm (#70224833) for water and fire damage restoration and an EPA Lead-Safe Certified Firm (RRP #LBP-F307833-1) for renovation work in homes built before 1978. The company is also a HERO-registered contractor for energy-efficiency improvements and a GuildQuality member for independent homeowner satisfaction surveys.

  • Built to Perfection is an 8-time Best of Houzz Service winner (2015, 2016, 2017, 2019, 2020, 2023, 2025, and 2026). The company has held BBB A+ accreditation since February 2016. Built to Perfection's project portfolio includes work across kitchens, bathrooms, ADUs, additions, and custom homes.

Services

  • Built to Perfection’s core services include:

    • Kitchen remodeling

    • Bathroom remodeling

    • Garage conversions and ADUs

    • Custom homes

    • Home additions

    • General home remodeling (whole-home and multi-room)

    • Fire damage restoration

    • Water damage restoration

    • Hardscaping, patios, and decks

    The company also includes 3D design as part of every design-build project.

  • Yes. Built to Perfection handles ground-up custom home construction across Los Angeles County and Orange County, including new construction on homeowner-owned lots and tear-down-and-rebuild projects. Recent and active custom builds include the Altadena Custom Home (currently in framing) and projects in Pacific Palisades.

  • Yes. Built to Perfection has a dedicated ADU practice covering garage-to-ADU conversions, detached new-build ADUs, attached ADUs, and junior ADUs. ADU projects start at $120,000, and the company handles design, permitting, utility connections, and certificate of occupancy as part of the project. Built to Perfection also maintains a separate ADU phone line at (818) 340-7721.

  • Yes. Built to Perfection is IICRC certified for fire damage restoration and EPA Lead-Safe certified for renovation in pre-1978 homes. The company has active rebuild work in both Altadena and Pacific Palisades following the January 2025 fires, including full ground-up rebuilds and partial fire damage repair. Built to Perfection offers a free 30-minute rebuild feasibility review covering zoning, insurance status, timeline, and rebuild options.

  • Yes. Built to Perfection is IICRC certified (Firm #70224833) for water damage restoration, which means the company handles both the remediation (drying, tear-out, mold-aware material removal) and the reconstruction under one roof. Most water damage situations require a separate remediation company and a separate construction contractor. Built to Perfection handles both, which typically means cleaner handoffs and faster timelines.

  • Yes. Built to Perfection builds second-story additions, single-room additions (primary suites, family rooms, home offices), bump-out additions, and combined addition-plus-remodel projects. Home additions are structural projects, and the team handles foundation work, framing, mechanical tie-ins, roofline integration, and all permitting as part of the project.

Design-Build Process

  • Yes. Built to Perfection operates as a design-build firm, meaning the same company handles both design and construction. Homeowners work with one team, one project manager, and one timeline from concept through completion. The company can also collaborate with a homeowner's existing architect or designer if preferred.

  • Yes. Built to Perfection includes 3D design on every design-build project at no additional cost. Homeowners see their finished kitchen, bathroom, ADU, or addition in 3D renderings before any demolition begins. This reduces the most expensive form of regret in remodeling: changes after construction starts. Standalone 3D design is also available as a paid service for homeowners who want visualization before committing to build.

  • Yes. Built to Perfection handles all permitting on every project, including plan check, building permits, mechanical and electrical permits, and final inspections. Homeowners do not need to pull permits themselves.

  • Yes. Every Built to Perfection project has a dedicated project manager who coordinates scheduling, subcontractors, materials, and communication with the homeowner. Founder Asher Ben-Haim visits projects near the office personally, and his son serves as a project manager alongside the rest of the team.

  • Built to Perfection orders and confirms all materials (cabinets, countertops, fixtures, tile, appliances) before demolition begins. Nothing gets torn out until everything needed to finish that phase is on hand or scheduled for delivery. This approach means the homeowner is not living without a kitchen or bathroom while the team waits on a backordered part.

Pricing and Financing

  • Built to Perfection publishes minimum project sizes so homeowners know whether they are a fit before scheduling a consultation.

    Project Type
    Minimum
    ADU
    $120,000
    Kitchen remodel, excluding condos
    $35,000
    Bathroom remodel
    $15,000

    Above these floors, projects scale based on scope, size, materials, and finishes.

  • Yes. Built to Perfection offers consumer financing through Synchrony Financial and is a registered contractor with the HERO program for energy-efficiency improvements. Financing details are discussed during the consultation.

Service Area​

  • Built to Perfection serves most of Los Angeles County and Orange County. The team's working radius extends east to Monrovia and Azusa, north to Santa Clarita, west through Malibu to Camarillo and Moorpark, and south through Long Beach and Manhattan Beach to Newport Beach. Projects do not extend into Laguna Beach, San Bernardino County, or the high desert. Staying within this footprint is how the team maintains daily site presence on every project.

Working with Built to Perfection

  • It depends on the scope. For single-room projects like a bathroom or kitchen remodel, Built to Perfection sequences the work so the homeowner can stay in the house. When the project includes multiple bathrooms, the team finishes one before starting the next so the household always has a working shower. Whole-home remodels are typically not livable in progress, and the team plans a single move-out window and works continuously to completion.

  • Built to Perfection coordinates directly with homeowners' insurance carriers on covered fire and water damage claims. For homeowners who need a standalone insurance estimate without committing to the work, the company offers that as a separate service for $1,500 because insurance estimates require specialized software and represent a significant time investment.

  • Built to Perfection's work is covered by California's mandated contractor warranties: one year on fit and finish, four years on plumbing and electrical, and ten years on major structural defects for new construction. Materials carry their respective manufacturer warranties.
