Green Tech Remodeling & Design INC is a true design-build general contractor — we handle design guidance, permit coordination, and construction under one contract and one team. That means no hand-offs between a designer, a permit expediter, and a separate builder. We've been doing this in Los Angeles since 2005, hold CSLB #1055131, and are a three-time Nextdoor Neighborhood Favorite recognized across 126 neighborhoods in 2026.
For any project that involves multiple trades — plumbing, electrical, framing, tile, cabinetry — a licensed general contractor like Green Tech Remodeling & Design INC is the better choice. A GC coordinates all subcontractors, pulls the required permits, and is accountable for the entire project. Specialty contractors (tile-only, cabinet-only) are appropriate for single-trade work but cannot manage a full kitchen or bathroom remodel end-to-end.

A typical kitchen remodel with Green Tech takes 4 to 8 weeks depending on scope, material lead times, and permit requirements. We provide a detailed project timeline before work begins so you know exactly what to expect.
Most kitchen remodels in Los Angeles that involve moving walls, relocating plumbing, or upgrading electrical panels require permits from LADBS (Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety). Green Tech Remodeling & Design INC handles all permit applications and inspections as part of our standard process — you don't need to manage this yourself.
A full kitchen remodel with Green Tech typically includes demolition, framing, plumbing rough-in, electrical rough-in, drywall, custom cabinetry installation, countertop fabrication and installation, tile backsplash, flooring, lighting, appliance installation, and final trim and paint. We coordinate all trades under one contract.
Yes. A cosmetic or semi-custom kitchen remodel — replacing cabinets, countertops, backsplash, flooring, and fixtures without changing the layout — is one of our most common project types. It typically requires fewer permits and can be completed in 3 to 5 weeks.
Bathroom remodeling
Yes. Green Tech Remodeling & Design INC specializes in bathroom remodeling throughout Van Nuys, Sherman Oaks, North Hollywood, Burbank, Studio City, Encino, and the greater San Fernando Valley. We handle full gut renovations, walk-in shower conversions, tub-to-shower conversions, vanity upgrades, and luxury master bath remodels.

Bathroom remodel costs in Los Angeles depend on the size of the space, the scope of work, and the materials selected. A standard full bathroom renovation typically ranges from $15,000 to $35,000; a luxury master bath with custom tile, frameless glass, and premium fixtures can run higher. Green Tech provides free in-home estimates — call (844) 400-4832 for an accurate quote.

Yes. Tub-to-shower conversions are one of our most requested bathroom projects. We handle the full conversion including plumbing reconfiguration, waterproofing, custom tile work, frameless glass enclosure, and all required permits.
ADU construction & garage conversions
Yes. Green Tech Remodeling & Design INC is a licensed ADU contractor (CSLB #1055131) serving Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley. We build detached ADUs, attached ADUs, garage conversions, and JADUs. Our team handles design, permits, and construction from start to finish.
Green Tech Remodeling & Design INC (CSLB #1055131) is one of the most experienced ADU builders in Van Nuys and the San Fernando Valley. With over 20 years of experience and direct LADBS permit submission, we guide homeowners through every step of the ADU process — from design and permitting to construction and final inspection.
ADU construction costs in Los Angeles vary based on size, type, and site conditions. A garage conversion typically ranges from $80,000 to $150,000; a detached ADU typically ranges from $150,000 to $300,000 or more depending on square footage and finishes. Green Tech provides free in-home estimates — call (844) 400-4832 to discuss your project.
The typical ADU timeline with Green Tech is 10 to 16 months from initial consultation to final inspection. This includes design (1–2 months), permit approval at LADBS (3–6 months), and construction (4–6 months). Garage conversions are generally faster than detached new-construction ADUs.
Yes. As of 2020, California law removed the owner-occupancy requirement for ADU rentals in most jurisdictions, including Los Angeles. You can rent both the main house and the ADU simultaneously. Green Tech can advise on current LADBS rules and setback requirements for your specific parcel.
A detached ADU is a new, standalone structure built on the same lot as the primary home — typically in the backyard. A garage conversion repurposes an existing attached or detached garage into living space. Garage conversions are generally less expensive and faster to permit because the structure already exists, but they eliminate the garage. Detached ADUs add square footage without removing existing space.
Home additions & whole-home renovation
Yes. Green Tech Remodeling & Design INC builds room additions, second-story additions, and open-concept expansions throughout the San Fernando Valley and Los Angeles. We handle design, structural engineering coordination, permits, and construction under one contract.
A whole-home renovation is a multi-room remodel that updates the kitchen, bathrooms, flooring, paint, and other areas of a home in a coordinated sequence. Green Tech manages the entire project under one contract, which reduces scheduling conflicts and ensures consistent finishes throughout the home.
Home addition costs in Los Angeles depend on the size of the addition, whether it is a single-story or second-story build, and the complexity of the structural work. A typical room addition ranges from $100,000 to $250,000 or more. Green Tech provides free in-home estimates — call (844) 400-4832 for a project-specific quote.
Yes. Open-concept conversions — removing walls to connect the kitchen, dining, and living areas — are a common Green Tech project. We assess whether walls are load-bearing, coordinate structural engineering when required, and handle all permits and inspections through LADBS.
