Why are ADUs so popular in Mar Vista?

The lots are bigger than most of the Westside and the zoning allows it. A detached ADU in Mar Vista can rent for $2,800–$3,500/month, which makes it one of the best returns on investment in LA. We've built ADUs on streets like Palms, Grand View, and Beethoven — we know what works on these lots.

Do Mar Vista homes need special engineering for remodels?

Some do. Many Mar Vista homes from the 1940s–50s have raised foundations and original framing that needs to be evaluated before opening up walls. We bring a structural engineer to the first site visit so the design accounts for what's actually there — not what looks good on paper.

How long does a kitchen remodel take in Mar Vista?

A typical Mar Vista kitchen — wall removal, new layout, custom cabinets, quartz counters — runs 10 to 14 weeks from demolition to final walkthrough. Permits through LADBS add 3–6 weeks on the front end. We give you a fixed timeline before we start.

Mar Vista is the Westside's best-kept secret — quiet streets, mid-century bones, and lots that have room to grow.
