Why Hollywood Homeowners Choose Barrett & Sons Construction
Hollywood isn’t a simple place to build. The difference between a contractor who knows this and one who doesn’t shows up fast. We work across the Hollywood flatland and into the Hills, including Hollywood Heights, Whitley Heights, Thai Town, and Little Armenia - neighborhoods where we’ve pulled permits, passed inspections, and stood behind the work with our 90-Day Done Right Promise, in writing on every contract. One call brings Tom Barrett back if something isn’t right, no arguing, no fine print.
Tom runs this company with his sons on-site most days. That’s not a talking point; it’s how we keep the name on the truck honest. Every price change arrives as a written change order before work happens. Every allowance is on paper. And every eligible job gets permits pulled and inspections signed because the inspector works for you, not for us - that’s why we like him. From our home office serving South Florida, our crews run Hollywood jobs with local familiarity you can feel in the details.
Construction Services We Offer in Hollywood
Kitchen Remodeling
A Hollywood kitchen is often the center of a 1920s bungalow or a 1960s condo that hasn’t been touched in decades. We plan around load-bearing walls, old plumbing stacks, and the occasional knob-and-tube surprise. Learn more about our Kitchen Remodeling in Hollywood.
Bathroom Remodeling
From Hollywood courtyard apartments to hillside homes, bathrooms here hide water damage behind original tile and wallboard. We waterproof the right way and install premium brands like Schluter and Grohe so the work lasts. Learn more about our Bathroom Remodeling in Hollywood.
Roofing
Original clay-tile roofs on Spanish Colonial Revival buildings need a different hand than flat-roof condos or Hills properties with steep slopes. We install GAF systems and other named brands you can look up yourself. Learn more about our Roofing in Hollywood.
Windows & Doors
Hollywood’s HPOZ districts often require design review before window replacement is approved. We handle the paperwork and the install, so your new windows actually match the building’s character.
Fence Installation
Good fences make Hills properties private and flatland yards secure. We pour concrete footings for real longevity and permit every fence that needs one.
Driveway & Pavers
Concrete and paver driveways across Hollywood take a beating from heat and hillside drainage. We build for slope, runoff, and years of sun.
Home Additions & ADU
Adding square footage in Hollywood means dealing with tight lots, zoning rules, and city review timelines. We’ve navigated those steps more times than we can count.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Hollywood
We work across Hollywood’s distinct housing pockets, so you always deal with a crew that has been on your kind of street before.

Most calls in the 90028 area get a live answer immediately and a site visit scheduled within the week, often sooner.
Why Hollywood’s Climate & Housing Affect Construction
Hollywood sits at the base of the Santa Monica Mountains, which means construction in the Hills involves steep-slope grading permits, expansive hillside soils, and post-wildfire erosion and drainage concerns that flatland crews don’t face every day. Down below, the flatlands deal with something else entirely: a dense layer of 1950s-to-1970s wood-frame apartment buildings with tuck-under parking that are now subject to the City of Los Angeles mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit ordinance, Ordinance 183893. That’s the law targeting those older apartment corridors across Hollywood’s residential streets.
What makes Hollywood genuinely unusual is the squeeze between that retrofit mandate and the Hollywood Historic Preservation Overlay Zone. Exterior changes in designated historic districts require sign-off from the LA Office of Historic Resources before a permit is issued, even for what looks like routine re-roofing or stucco repair. A contractor who doesn’t know the HPOZ process can burn weeks waiting on a review step that never appears on their radar. We’ve handled both sides of that coin, so we plan the timeline accordingly from day one. Ask anyone on your street, or look up our license number yourself.
What to Look For in a Hollywood Contractor
Before you sign anything, compare how different companies answer three questions.
Will every price change be in writing?
If a contractor can’t put that in the contract, walk away. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date. We give every Hollywood client a written change order before any scope change touches the job. No exceptions.
Will they pull the permits?
In Hollywood, the permit inspector actually works for you, not for the contractor. If someone tells you a roof or addition “probably doesn’t need” a permit in this city, you’re talking to someone who cuts corners. We pull permits on every eligible job and sign the inspections.
Can you verify who they are?
Tom Barrett publishes his name, address, and license number. Our crew members are background-checked and wear the Barrett & Sons name. When a national outfit sends strangers in an unmarked van, you have no idea who’s walking through your door.

FAQs About Construction in Hollywood
Most Hollywood kitchen remodels land between $35,000 and $85,000, depending on whether you’re updating a bungalow kitchen or opening walls in a 1960s condo. We write the full scope and every allowance into the contract before work starts. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact quote. Estimates are free.
Only if the scope changes, and that never happens without a written change order you approve first. We don’t hand surprise invoices at the end. If something unexpected appears behind the walls, you’ll see the new price on paper before a single nail moves.
Yes, on every eligible job. In Hollywood, that often includes historic review sign-off from the LA Office of Historic Resources for exterior work in HPOZ districts. We handle that paperwork, so you aren’t stuck chasing city departments.
That depends entirely on scope and which city review steps apply. A simple fence or driveway might take under a week; a kitchen or ADU runs months. Once you have a written quote, you get a written schedule with milestones, so you know what’s happening and when.
Yes, and Hills work is different. Steep-slope grading permits, hillside soils, and post-wildfire drainage concerns all come into play. We plan for those from the first site visit, so your project doesn’t stall waiting on a permit someone forgot to mention.

What Hollywood Customers Say
"Genuinely good builders and I would use them again. Site tidiness slipped a bit in the middle stretch and I had to mention it, after which it was spotless every evening."
- Marcus Threadgill"Every change to the price came as a written change order before the work happened, not as a surprise on the final bill. I did not know contractors still did that."
- Xiomara Benavides"Tom Barrett was on our job most days himself, not just at the quote and then never again. When something needed deciding there was an actual person to decide it with."
- Rosalie Pemberton
