General Contractor in the South Bay, California

Built To Perfection, Inc. is a family-run design-build general contractor serving the South Bay. Since 2001 we have remodeled and built homes across Los Angeles County, including Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, Palos Verdes Estates, and Rancho Palos Verdes.

Cities we serve in the South Bay: Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, Palos Verdes Estates, and Rancho Palos Verdes.

 

What we build in the South Bay: kitchen and bathroom remodels, home additions, ADUs and garage conversions, whole-home remodels, and custom homes.

 

Building in the South Bay: each of these cities runs its own building department, so permits do not go through the City of Los Angeles. Parts of Manhattan Beach and Hermosa Beach sit in the California Coastal Zone. In Manhattan Beach, most single-family remodels are exempt from a coastal permit, but homes between the ocean and the first public road, or within 300 feet of the beach, can need one for an added story or an addition of 10 percent or more of the floor area. Hermosa Beach asks for a geotechnical report before construction, and the high water table near the coast makes basements a careful decision. In Palos Verdes Estates, any exterior change, from an addition to new windows or a paint color, also needs approval from the Palos Verdes Homes Association Art Jury, separate from the city permit. In Rancho Palos Verdes, the city now bars new homes and home additions in the Portuguese Bend landslide area, while repairs within the existing footprint are still allowed. We handle the permits and reviews from the first application through final inspection.

 

Our office is at 21201 Victory Blvd #235 in Canoga Park, and we meet South Bay homeowners at their homes for every consultation. We also work on the Westside and in Malibu.

Questions About Building in the South Bay

  • Each city runs its own building department. Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, Palos Verdes Estates, and Rancho Palos Verdes each review plans and issue permits for homes inside their borders, and most structural, plumbing, and electrical work needs a permit. Built To Perfection prepares the applications, answers plan check comments, and schedules every inspection, so you never have to manage the process yourself.

  • Yes, depending on the city and the lot. Parts of Manhattan Beach and Hermosa Beach are in the Coastal Zone, and homes close to the beach can need a coastal development permit for larger additions. In Palos Verdes Estates, exterior changes also need approval from the Palos Verdes Homes Association Art Jury. In Rancho Palos Verdes, new homes and additions are not allowed in the Portuguese Bend landslide area. We check these rules for your address before design starts.

  • It depends on scope. A kitchen or bathroom remodel typically runs 8 to 16 weeks of active construction. Whole-home renovations, additions, and custom homes take longer, often 6 to 18 months including design and permitting. We build a detailed project timeline before work begins and provide daily updates throughout the build.

  • The minimum for any project is $7,500. Bathroom remodels start at $25,000, kitchen remodels at $50,000, and ADUs at $120,000. These minimums reflect the scope of work the team can deliver at its standard of quality with a dedicated project manager.

  • Both. Built To Perfection is a design-build firm. Every kitchen, bathroom, ADU, addition, and custom home includes 3D design as part of the process. Homeowners see a rendered version of the finished space before committing to construction, so there are no guesses about how materials, layouts, and fixtures will look together.
