Encino
The Lot Is Big. The House Should Earn It.
Encino is part of the City of Los Angeles, so every remodel here is permitted through LADBS, not a county office or a separate city hall. We prepare the drawings, file the application, and manage plan check and inspections ourselves. Your project keeps moving, and you never chase paperwork.
Most of the homes we see in Encino went up between the 1960s and the 1980s: ranch houses on generous lots, gated estates along the hills. The bones are solid. The square footage is there. It’s the kitchens, bathrooms, and floor plans that are ready for a full update. That’s the work Encino families bring us most: kitchens with room for everyone to end up in them, and dated bathrooms rebuilt as true spa baths.
We’ve already built here. One recent project turned an ordinary Encino bathroom into a stone and mosaic spa bath, and the full case study is on our site. Athenian Builders Group is a licensed and insured design-build general contractor, CSLB License #1045030, and every proposal comes with itemized line-item pricing: a fixed price and a fixed timeline, approved before work begins.

What Local Homeowners Should Know
LADBS Permits, Handled
Encino falls under the City of Los Angeles, so remodels are permitted through LADBS. We prepare the plans, run plan check, and schedule every inspection, and you never stand in line at a city counter.
Fluent in 1960s Through 1980s Construction
Most Encino homes date from the 60s, 70s, and 80s. We plan for what sits behind those walls, from aging electrical panels to original plumbing, before demolition starts instead of after.
Finishes That Fit the Neighborhood
Encino families ask for real spa bathrooms and kitchens that hold the whole household. We build with natural stone, custom mosaic, and cabinetry scaled to large rooms, not builder-grade shortcuts.
One Team From Drawings to Final Walkthrough
Large lots and gated estates make coordination harder, not easier. Design-build gives you one contract, one accountable team, and a fixed price and timeline, so designer, engineer, and crew never point at each other.

Questions
Encino Remodeling FAQs
Do I need a permit to remodel my home in Encino?
In most cases, yes. Encino is part of the City of Los Angeles, so structural, electrical, plumbing, and most kitchen and bathroom work needs an LADBS permit. We handle the whole process on every project, from drawings through final inspection.
How long will my Encino remodel take?
It depends on scope, and we won’t guess. After a free on-site estimate you get a fixed timeline in writing, along with itemized line-item pricing. You know the schedule and the cost before demolition begins.
Does Athenian Builders Group serve Encino?
Yes. We’re a Los Angeles design-build contractor, and we’ve completed work in Encino, including a stone and mosaic spa bathroom you can see as a case study on our site. Call (310) 857-2520 Monday through Friday, 8am to 5pm, and we respond the same business day.
My home is in a gated community in the hills. Is that a problem?
Not at all. We coordinate access with gate staff ahead of time, schedule deliveries around community rules, and keep the site clean and protected. You’ll always know who’s on your property and when.
Local Knowledge
Remodeling Know-How for Encino
Architecture We Work With
Encino is known for its ranch estates on deep lots, alongside midcentury homes, Mediterranean houses, and gated contemporary properties in the hills.
Bigger houses ask for bigger projects. Our Encino work leans toward full kitchens, primary suites, and whole-home remodels, built to match the scale and character the neighborhood is known for.
Neighborhoods We Serve
We work across Encino, in the 91316 and 91436 ZIP codes, including:
- Amestoy Estates, known for its oversized flat lots and estate homes
- Royal Oaks, a quiet enclave in the hills south of Ventura Boulevard
- Encino Hills, where view lots call for thoughtful structural planning
Permits and Approvals
Encino remodels are permitted through the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety (LADBS). Larger additions and hillside lots can involve additional review steps, and we plan for that up front rather than mid-project.
Permit handling is included in every project, and the costs are spelled out as line items in your written estimate.
