Pacific Palisades
Love your home but need more space? In Pacific Palisades, where many homes are ranch era originals on hillside lots, a growing family or a new home office can make the walls close in fast. That is why Pacific Palisades room additions pay off every single day. Our women led design build studio treats every home with care, from 1940s ranch homes to midcentury builds and newer hillside properties.
We build across Pacific Palisades, from The Village to the Alphabet Streets and up into the Highlands. First, we design your addition with you. Then, our licensed team handles structural engineering, permits, building approvals and construction. Finally, we blend the new space seamlessly into your home. Above all, pricing stays clear at every step, and our Pacific Palisades room additions cover design, engineering, permits and build under one roof.
We tailor every one of our Pacific Palisades room additions to your home and your plans. Moreover, we bring every trade under one roof. So your project runs with one team and one clear plan, from a single bedroom to a full second story.
Extra bedrooms for growing families or guests. Designed to flow naturally from your existing floor plan.
A private retreat with a spa like bath and walk in closet. The most requested addition we build.
Open, light filled living space for gathering and entertaining. Connected seamlessly to your kitchen.
Double your footprint without losing outdoor space. Fully engineered and built to match your home.
Comfortable, private space for parents or long term guests. Complete with bath and kitchenette options.
Push a wall out and gain the island, pantry or dining nook your kitchen always needed.
Pacific Palisades room additions face conditions a suburban addition never will. Consequently, a plan that looks perfect on paper needs real adaptation for a Palisades lot and hillside before a single footing is poured.
Building rules, permit requirements and city processes vary by property and are updated periodically. We confirm the current requirements for your specific lot during your free consultation.
Most contractors will not discuss numbers until they have walked your home. We think that wastes your time. Below are the ranges we typically see for Pacific Palisades room additions, with realistic timelines from permits to final walkthrough.
| Addition Type | Typical Investment | Typical Timeline | What Drives The Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bump Out, 50 to 150 sq ft | $40,000 to $90,000 | 2 to 4 months | Foundation work, roof tie in and whether plumbing or HVAC extends |
| Bedroom Addition, 200 to 400 sq ft | $90,000 to $180,000 | 3 to 5 months | Size, closet and bath inclusion, and how the new roofline meets the old |
| Family Room Extension | $120,000 to $240,000 | 4 to 6 months | Span width, structural beams, glazing and connection to the kitchen |
| Primary Suite, 300 to 600 sq ft | $140,000 to $290,000 | 4 to 7 months | Bathroom finish level, walk in closet build out and exterior materials |
| In Law Suite With Kitchenette | $180,000 to $350,000 | 5 to 9 months | Separate entrance, second kitchen rough in and panel capacity |
| Second Story, 600 to 1,200 sq ft | $300,000 to $600,000+ | 8 to 14 months | Foundation and shear upgrades, new stair, full reroof and temporary weather protection |
These ranges reflect typical Pacific Palisades additions, from small bump outs to full second stories. They are a planning guide, not a quote, and they exclude city impact fees, which vary. After we walk your home, you receive a written, itemized price with no hidden allowances.
The process behind our Pacific Palisades room additions stays simple, transparent and collaborative. First, we listen. Then, we plan every detail with you. Because of this, you feel confident from the first call to the final reveal.
First, we meet at your Pacific Palisades home. We review your space, goals and budget together.
Next, we design the addition and secure engineering and permits. You get realistic timelines and clear pricing in writing.
Then our crew builds with precision. Meanwhile, you receive regular progress updates and a clean job site.
Finally, we complete a careful walkthrough and final inspections. Your new space is ready to enjoy.
A room addition is the most heavily reviewed residential project there is. It changes your home's footprint, its structure and often its appearance from the street. Consequently, several separate approvals usually sit between you and a start date, and good Pacific Palisades room additions solve the structure and permitting honestly before promising the square footage.
So we do the homework first. Setbacks and lot coverage get verified before design begins. Foundations, beams and shear are engineered rather than guessed. Then City of Los Angeles plan check, design review and inspections all get managed by one team. Doing it in that order is why our additions pass inspection the first time and look original to the home a decade later.
Send us your address and what you are missing. Because we know Palisades lots, hillside rules and zoning, we will tell you what your property can support and roughly what it costs, before you call a realtor.
Book A Free ConsultationWe bring Pacific Palisades room additions to every neighborhood, from The Village to the Alphabet Streets and up into the Highlands. Also, as a boutique studio that works in Palisades homes regularly, we know the ranch era structures, the hillside lots, the City of Los Angeles permit office and the coastal air demands well. As a result, your project keeps moving without delays.
Photos say more than any promise. Here is a look at recent addition, ADU and interior work from our team across Pacific Palisades and greater Los Angeles.
An addition opens up endless possibilities. For example, you can build the primary suite you have always wanted, add a bedroom before a new baby arrives, or gain a family room that finally fits everyone. Either way, thoughtful Pacific Palisades room additions turn the home you have into the home you need, without giving up the neighborhood you love.
Plenty of companies will pour a slab. Here is what makes Pacific Palisades room additions from a licensed, women led design build studio different from hiring a handyman with a hammer.
Structural plans, calculations and city submittal are part of our scope, not a surprise line item. That is the part nobody sees, which is exactly why it is the part worth getting right.
Plumbing, electrical and structural changes need permits and inspections. As a licensed general contractor, we handle that rather than working around it.
Grading, retaining walls, salt air exposure and matching ranch era architecture are second nature to us because Palisades homes are our regular work.
Detailed scopes and realistic schedules before demolition day. As a result, you always know where the project stands and what comes next.
We handle the paperwork, inspections and city requirements for you, including Pacific Palisades permit and code processes.
Vetted trades, premium materials and a punch list obsession on every project. In addition, license #1034501 with full insurance on every job.
Our reputation rests on trust and care. Above all, we deliver on our promises. So read what homeowners across Los Angeles say about their additions and remodeling projects with our team.
Additions go wrong when they are designed around photos rather than around how you actually live. These six questions keep your Pacific Palisades room additions honest. We work through all of them with you at no cost.
Going out is simpler and cheaper per square foot. Going up keeps your yard but opens your roof. The right answer depends on your lot, your zoning and your structure, and we check all three.
Design review, height limits, hillside regulations and neighbor notifications all shape what you can build. Knowing the rules before design starts keeps your schedule and budget intact.
A second story lives on your foundation and shear walls. Our engineer verifies capacity early, so the design you approve is the design that can actually be built.
Most additions let you stay home, with the work sealed off behind dust barriers. We sequence the job so your kitchen, bath and at least one bedroom stay usable.
If this is your forever home, invest in the space you will love in twenty years. If a move is likely sooner, we right size the scope so the investment still pays back.
Tell us the budget you actually have, not the one you think we want to hear. Then we phase it sensibly if needed, instead of overreaching and stopping halfway.
