Sherman Oaks · San Fernando Valley
A home addition in Sherman Oaks is often the answer when a ranch house has two bedrooms and the family needs four. Flat lots north of Ventura Boulevard usually have room for a rear addition, a second story, or an ADU. Hillside lots south of Ventura fall under the Baseline Hillside Ordinance, which limits size and height and adds grading review. We check which side of that line your lot sits on before design starts. Then we handle engineering, LADBS plan check, framing, and a finish that matches the house.

Permits and local rules

Home Additions in Sherman Oaks
In Sherman Oaks the boulevard is a good rule of thumb. North is mostly flat and simpler to build on. South climbs into the hills, where the hillside ordinance caps floor area and height. We confirm the overlay for your exact parcel.
How it works
Premier Hi-End Builders is a home addition contractor across Greater Los Angeles, building room additions, second story additions, and suite additions. We handle feasibility, drawings, structural engineering, and plan check, then match stucco, roofing, and trim to the existing house.
We look at your lot, setbacks, and what the city will allow before anything gets drawn. Hillside conditions and HOA rules get checked here.
Plans go to an architect and a structural engineer. You see layout and elevations before they head to plan check.
We submit the plans to your city and handle any corrections. Plan check takes longer in some cities than others, and we give you a realistic timeline for yours.
We pour the footings, build the slab or raised floor, frame the walls, and tie in the roof. Inspections are scheduled as each stage is finished.
We match the stucco, siding, roofing, windows, and interior finishes to the existing house, so you can't tell where the old part ends.

FAQ
If your lot is in a designated hillside area, yes. It limits floor area, height, and grading. Many lots south of Ventura are affected. We check before an architect draws anything.
Most single-family lots can fit an ADU or a garage conversion under state law and LADBS rules. We check setbacks, utilities, and access during the estimate visit.
Lot setbacks, hillside or HOA rules, and how the new room should connect to the house. We check feasibility before drawings so you are not paying for a plan the city will reject. The free LA Remodel Decision Sheet lists what to settle before you call an architect.
Living space additions, second story additions, extra bathrooms, home offices, and guest or primary suites. Many owners pair an addition with a kitchen remodel so one crew handles both.
