More space, without moving.
Pacific Palisades room additions — primary suites, home offices, family rooms, and full second-story expansions. 18 years in the Palisades. CSLB #982386. Permits, engineering, and construction handled as one project.
Your addition, managed end to end
Room additions in Pacific Palisades involve more agencies, more coordination, and more technical complexity than in most of LA. We have done this hundreds of times. Every phase runs in parallel where possible — shaving months off a process that inexperienced contractors make sequential.
The Coastal Commission, hillside grading requirements, HOA architectural review, and the strict setback rules in the Palisades can add months to a project timeline when handled by a contractor who hasn't worked here before. We have submitted to every agency dozens of times — and we know how to keep your project moving.
Every type of room addition in the Palisades
From a 300 sq ft home office to a full second-story addition — we design, permit, and build every scope. One contractor, complete accountability, from foundation to final finish.
Primary Suite Additions
The most impactful addition in any Palisades home. A purpose-built primary suite — large bedroom, spa bathroom, walk-in closet — adds both daily quality of life and significant resale value. We handle the structural engineering, permits, and every finish to match your existing home.
- Structural engineering — roof framing, load path, foundation extension as needed
- En-suite spa bathroom — walk-in shower, freestanding tub, double vanity
- Walk-in closet — custom built-ins, lighting, full millwork
- LADBS permit + HOA review handled simultaneously
- Seamless exterior match — roofline, cladding, windows matched to existing home
Home Office Addition
A dedicated workspace built as a proper room — not converted from a bedroom. Soundproofed walls, dedicated electrical circuits, built-in cabinetry, large windows for natural light. The Palisades market rewards homes with a proper home office.
Family Room Addition
Expanding the main living area — opening up the back of the house to add a great room, family room, or open-plan living/dining extension. Often combined with a kitchen remodel. Frequently involves a load-bearing wall removal and structural beam installation.
Guest Suite Addition
A private bedroom and bathroom for guests or family — attached to the main house but with its own entrance where desired. All the space of a hotel suite, designed for your lot. Can be designed to function as a future rental if local ordinance allows.
Second-Story Addition
Adding an entire upper floor to a single-story Palisades home. Maximizes living space without expanding the lot footprint. Requires full structural engineering of the existing first floor, new roof system, and staircase integration. Complex but high-value in the Palisades market.
Garage Conversion
Converting an attached or detached garage into a bedroom, gym, studio, or flex room. Insulation, drywall, flooring, HVAC, windows, and permits — done properly so the space functions like a real room, not a converted garage.
Sunroom & Covered Addition
A glass-walled sunroom or large covered patio addition that brings the California outdoors in year-round. Permitting depends on whether the space is conditioned — we confirm what is required for your specific lot before design begins.

"We added a 650 sq ft primary suite and the house feels completely transformed. You would never know it wasn't original to the home — the roofline and exterior cladding match perfectly. From permit to move-in was 18 weeks."
"Our lot is on a steep hillside in the Highlands and everyone told us a room addition would be too complicated. Pacific Palisades Remodeling made it look easy. Soils report started on day one, permits in 10 weeks."
