About Finesse Remodeling

Finesse Remodeling has been remodeling homes for Los Angeles families since 1989. Our office is on Ventura Boulevard in Encino, and most of the work we do is within a short drive of it — the flats between Ventura and Victory, the hillside streets climbing toward Mulholland, and the neighboring Valley communities on either side of us.

That geography shapes the work more than most people expect. Encino's housing stock is largely postwar: ranch homes built from the 1940s through the 1960s in the flats, with mid-century and contemporary houses above Ventura on the hillside side of the boulevard. Those homes were well built. They were also built for a different appliance load, a different electrical panel, and a completely different idea of how a kitchen should connect to the rest of the house. Most of what we do is bringing that framework up to how people actually live now, without pretending the original house does not exist.

Every project runs with one team and one point of contact. Design and layout, demolition, framing, plumbing, electrical, cabinets, countertops, flooring, tile, and finish carpentry are all sequenced by us. Nobody is standing around waiting on a trade that never showed up, and you are never the person making the phone call to find out where the tile installer is.

Permits are our job, not yours. Encino, Sherman Oaks, Tarzana, Studio City, and the rest of the Valley neighborhoods inside city limits are permitted through the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety. Separate cities such as Burbank, Calabasas, and Beverly Hills run their own building departments with their own submittal requirements. Properties on the hillside side of Ventura Boulevard carry additional review that flat-lot properties do not. We prepare the plans, file them, pull the permit, and meet the inspector on site.

Pricing is fixed and in writing after we have walked the space in person, with allowances for tile, fixtures, and hardware broken out line by line. If you change your mind about a faucet halfway through, you know exactly what it changes before you approve it. What you will not get from us is a number over the phone, because a number given before anyone has seen the room is a marketing figure and it always climbs.

From Kitchen Remodeling to ADU Construction and Whole Home Renovation, we take on a deliberately limited number of projects at a time. That is the whole model: fewer jobs, closer supervision, and a schedule that holds because it was not built on the assumption that everything goes right.

Answers

Frequently asked questions

How long does a remodel take?
A kitchen or bathroom typically runs 4 to 8 weeks on site. Additions and ADUs run longer, and the plan check and permit stage happens before any of that clock starts. You get a dated schedule before demolition begins and an update every week the crew is in your house.
What does a remodel cost?
Cabinets, countertops, tile, and whether plumbing or electrical has to move are what drive the number. Keeping an existing layout costs far less than relocating a sink or opening a load-bearing wall. We price the job after walking the space in person and give you a fixed written quote with allowances broken out line by line.
Do you handle permits and inspections?
Yes. Encino and most of the Valley permit through the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety, and separate cities such as Burbank, Calabasas, and Beverly Hills run their own departments. We prepare the plans, file them, pull the permit, and meet the inspector on site. You never have to call the building department.
Can I live in the house during the remodel?
For a single kitchen or bathroom, yes, and most clients do. We dust-wall the work zone off from the rest of the house, set up a temporary prep station with your refrigerator and microwave in an adjacent room, and clear the site at the end of every workday. Gut renovations and full-house projects are a different conversation, and we have it with you before you commit.
Do you build ADUs?
Yes. California law now allows accessory dwelling units on most single-family lots, and Valley properties with a detached garage or a deep rear yard are well suited to them. We handle detached new builds, garage conversions, and attached ADUs from plans through final inspection.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. We are a licensed and insured California contractor, and every subcontractor on your job carries their own coverage. Certificates are available on request before work begins.
Do you offer free estimates?
Yes. Send the form on this page or call (818) 881-8333 and we will schedule a free in-home consultation, measure the space, and walk you through options and pricing.
What warranty comes with the work?
Our workmanship is warrantied, and manufacturer warranties on cabinets, countertops, and fixtures pass directly to you. The terms are written into your contract before you sign.
