[FREE ESTIMATE](https://maingreenconstruction.com/contact-us/) ## One licensed remodeling contractor for the whole job A home remodel in Los Angeles rarely needs just one trade. Framing, plumbing, electrical, drywall, tile, flooring and finish work all have to happen in the right order, around the city's permits and inspections. As a licensed general contractor (License #1093329), Maingreen runs all of it under one contract, from the first visit and the 2D and 3D design through the final inspection. Maingreen Remodel & Construction is licensed and insured. Pick a room or a system below to see what that job includes, or read on for how a home renovation in Los Angeles works, what sets the price and what to check before you sign with any contractor.

[](https://maingreenconstruction.com/energy-efficient-electric/) ### Kitchens In a whole-home remodel the kitchen is planned with the rooms around it: cabinets, countertops, flooring and lighting, in the same layout or a new one. [](https://maingreenconstruction.com/kitchens/) ### Bathrooms We offer 2D and 3D designs and a free backsplash when you remodel your bathroom with us. [](https://maingreenconstruction.com/bathrooms/) ### Concrete & Pavers When a remodel reaches outside, the patio, walkways and driveway are planned with the house, so the new paving lines up with the new doors and steps. [](https://maingreenconstruction.com/concrete-pavers/) ### Flooring Floors go in near the end of a remodel, once walls and fixtures are done, so one floor can run through every room you changed. [](https://maingreenconstruction.com/flooring/) ### **Chimney Repair** A remodel that opens the roof or the fireplace wall is the right time to have the chimney inspected and repaired in the same project. [](https://maingreenconstruction.com/chimney-repair/) [](https://maingreenconstruction.com/insulation/) ### Insulation We provide free asbestos testing, full removal, and then installation of the most technologically advanced insulation of your choice. [](https://maingreenconstruction.com/insulation/) ### Windows & Doors New windows and doors are set while the walls are open, so framing, flashing and trim are finished once, with the rest of the remodel. [](https://maingreenconstruction.com/windows-doors/) ### HVAC Adding a room or changing the layout is the time to size and route heating and cooling for the new floor plan, ducts included. [](https://maingreenconstruction.com/hvac/) ### **Plumbing** Our expert plumbers can help you feel secure about what is going with the pipes in your walls and beneath your home. [](https://maingreenconstruction.com/plumbing/) ### **Landscaping** Let our landscape designers create your own outdoor oasis. We do artificial grass, artificial turf, gravel, and much more. [](https://maingreenconstruction.com/landscape/) ### **Roofing** With top of the line materials and expert installation we can help you make the investment that will last for years and years to come. [](https://maingreenconstruction.com/roofing-contractor-los-angeles-ca/) ### **Mold Remediation** We professionally remove multiple types of mold. We can test your walls and insulation for asbestos in our certified labs and remove if needed. [](https://maingreenconstruction.com/mold-remediation/) ### ****Foundations**** If you notice any cracks in your walls, floors, or ceilings, or if you have other concerns about the structure of your home, call us today for a free in-home assessment. [](https://maingreenconstruction.com/foundation/) ## How a home remodel works with us The same five steps apply to one bathroom or a whole-house renovation: 1. The home visit Within 24-48 hours of your call, one of our team members will visit your home to scope out your space. 2. Design in 2D and 3D You see the new layout as 2D and 3D renderings and adjust it until it is right. We never start construction until you approve of the design. 3. The contract California law requires a written contract for every home improvement project over $500, spelling out the work, the materials, the payment schedule, who gets the permits and the completion date. 4. Permits We apply for all the permits your home improvement project requires well before construction. 5. Construction and inspections Demolition, then rough plumbing and electrical, then insulation and drywall once the city has inspected what goes inside the walls, then tile, cabinets, floors, fixtures and paint. - Full remodel in San Gabriel: the side of the home with new white windows - Full remodel in San Gabriel: a new white window in the stucco wall beside the electric meter - Full remodel in Venice: a walk-in shower with glossy gray subway tile, a patterned tile floor and a niche ## Permits and inspections for a Los Angeles remodel Inside the City of Los Angeles, building permits come from the Department of Building and Safety (LADBS). Simple projects on its Express Permit list are issued online through PermitLA without plan review; other work goes through plan check first. Burbank, Glendale, Pasadena, Lancaster and the other cities we serve each have their own building department. LADBS divides construction into stages, such as foundation, framing, electrical, plumbing and heating and cooling work, and each stage has to be inspected and approved before it is covered up ([LADBS homeowner guide](https://www.ladbs.org/services/homeowner-step-by-step)). That is why a wall stays open until the inspector has seen the new wiring or pipes inside it. One more thing worth knowing: California's 2025 Energy Code (Title 24, Part 6) applies to projects whose permit application is made on or after January 1, 2026, including the lighting you replace in a remodel ([California Energy Commission](https://www.energy.ca.gov/programs-and-topics/programs/building-energy-efficiency-standards/2025-building-energy-efficiency)). New white window set in a stucco wall under a clay tile roof edge during a full remodel in San Gabriel ## What sets the price of a home renovation - **How many rooms, and whether the layout changes:** moving a wall, a sink or a toilet adds framing and plumbing work and often a plan check. - **What is behind walls and floors:** old wiring, worn pipes, rot or water damage found during demolition. - **Finishes:** cabinets, countertops, tile, flooring and fixtures span a wide range. - **Code work the remodel brings with it:** for example new lighting that has to meet the Energy Code. - **Permits and plan check fees** set by the city. The estimate is free. We offer senior, veteran, military and teacher discounts, and you can ask about [financing](https://maingreenconstruction.com/financing/) through our financing partners. Full remodel in Venice: a new bathroom with a glass walk-in shower, patterned floor tile and a dark wood vanity Full remodel in Venice: a dark wood vanity under a mirror with an LED light bar ## Older homes: test before you open walls The EPA notes that textured paint and patching compounds on walls and ceilings, and vinyl floor tiles, may contain asbestos, so material in an older house that will be cut or torn out should be tested first. Demolition can also uncover water damage nobody saw: stained or soft wood, or mold behind a shower wall or under a sink. When that happens, [mold remediation](https://maingreenconstruction.com/mold-remediation/) and the repair become part of the same job instead of a second contractor's visit. ### Do popcorn ceilings need an asbestos test before a remodel? Test it before the remodel scrapes, sands, cuts or tears it out, or the work has to treat it as asbestos. CSLB's asbestos guide says many buildings built or remodeled between 1945 and 1978 may contain asbestos in material sprayed or troweled onto the ceiling or walls, and unless a material is labeled, no one can tell just by looking. A house built in the 1960s falls inside that window. If the ceiling is in good condition and the work will not touch it, CSLB says it is best to leave it alone. - Why it is treated as asbestos until tested. California's asbestos rule for construction work (Cal/OSHA, Title 8 section 1529), written for employers and building owners, presumes asbestos in surfacing material, meaning material sprayed or troweled onto surfaces such as acoustical plaster on ceilings, in buildings constructed no later than 1980, unless an inspection or testing rebuts it. - What a test that clears it involves. When the presumption is rebutted by testing (the other route is an inspection under the federal AHERA rules), the rule requires the samples to be collected by an accredited inspector or a certified industrial hygienist and analyzed by a lab in a recognized proficiency program such as NVLAP. CSLB advises more than one sample; ask for the lab's written results before the ceiling work is scheduled. - Testing through us. Asbestos testing with licensed and certified labs is part of our work, so a ceiling, wall or floor the remodel will open can be checked before demolition. Old insulation gets free asbestos testing too; see [insulation](https://maingreenconstruction.com/insulation/). - Full remodel in San Gabriel: the clay tile roof over the street side of the home - Full remodel in San Gabriel: the clay tile roof and a flat roof section over the back of the home ## What to check before you hire a remodeling contractor Whoever you hire, these checks come from California's Contractors State License Board ([CSLB](https://www.cslb.ca.gov/Consumers/Hire_A_Contractor/), [home improvement contracts](https://www.cslb.ca.gov/Consumers/Hire_A_Contractor/Home_Improvement_Contracts/)): - Check the license The CSLB license check shows whether a contractor's license is active and what it covers. Ours is License #1093329. Check the classification too: a B General Building contractor may take a framing or carpentry job, but a prime contract involving other trades must require at least two unrelated trades besides framing and carpentry, or the contractor must hold that trade's license or subcontract it to a licensed contractor; a job with a fire protection system or well drilling always needs that license or a licensed subcontractor (Business and Professions Code 7057). - Get every detail in writing The contract should describe the products and the work in detail, include a payment schedule, say who gets the permits and give a completion date. - Watch the payments The down payment cannot be more than $1,000 or 10 percent of the contract price, whichever is less, and payments should follow the work as it is completed, never run ahead of it. - Changes need a change order A change to the price or the scope is written up and signed by both sides before the work changes. - Know your right to cancel Unless the contract was signed at the contractor's place of business, you can cancel it within three days by giving the contractor written notice; homeowners 65 and older have five days. - Kitchen remodel in Claremont: new light floor tile in the dining nook beside the wainscoting - Kitchen remodel in Claremont: new floor tile meeting the wood floor at the step Planning to add space rather than remodel it?
