Home Remodeling · West Hollywood
You bought the house for its character. We keep that part, rebuild everything behind it, and permit it through the City of West Hollywood, minutes from our office. The modern farmhouse whole-home remodel below shows how.
West Hollywood
Most West Hollywood houses date to the 1920s and 30s, and it shows both ways. The plaster and the arched doorways still earn their keep. The original wiring, the galvanized pipes, and the closed-off kitchen do not. A good remodel keeps what made you buy the house and replaces what sits behind the walls: open layout, new kitchen and baths, new flooring and windows, one coordinated project.
Athenian Builders Group is a licensed and insured California contractor (CSLB #1045030), based just over the canyon in Valley Village. Our own crews do the work: fixed itemized price in writing, firm timeline, and a 2-year workmanship warranty. See our full home remodeling services.

Permits
West Hollywood runs its own Building & Safety division. It is not LADBS, and treating it like LADBS costs you weeks. Structural, electrical, plumbing, and most kitchen and bath work goes through city review. We prepare the drawings, manage the submittal, and meet the inspector at your door, so the whole process stays on our plate, not yours.
Transparent Pricing
Real 2026 ranges for the LA area, not wishful thinking. In houses this old, condition matters as much as size. We walk the house first, then give you a fixed, itemized price. The on-site visit is free.

Questions
Constantly. Behind the original plaster, these houses usually hide wiring, plumbing, and framing that need replacing. We keep the character you can see and rebuild what has aged out behind it.
