AfterConstruction Services in Beverly Hills, CA
Beverly Hills runs its own rulebook when it comes to construction, and that single fact changes everything about how a job gets permitted, priced, and finished here. If you’re planning a remodel, addition, or exterior project in 90210, 90211, or 90212, you need a contractor who files through Beverly Hills Building & Safety, not LADBS, and who knows the plan-check queue well enough to keep your timeline from bleeding months. Barrett & Sons Construction has been doing exactly that since 1998. Call (877) 610-1318 and you’ll reach a live person, not a voicemail box, and we’ll talk through your project the way a neighbor would.

Why Beverly Hills Homeowners Choose Barrett & Sons Construction
Tom Barrett started this company in 1998 and never franchised it. His sons run the crews. When we say our name is on the truck, we mean one of us is usually standing next to it. Homeowners in the flats south of Santa Monica Boulevard and up in the hills north of Sunset have called us for everything from a 1920s Spanish Colonial kitchen gut to a caisson-supported hillside addition, and they call us back because the price we quote is the price they pay. Every scope change arrives as a written change order before work proceeds. Permits get pulled and inspections get signed on every eligible job, because in a city with its own Building & Safety Division, cutting that corner is how a remodel becomes a code-enforcement letter. We also answer our own phone, publish our license number, and back every completed job with the 90-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, Tom comes back and makes it right, one call.
Construction Services We Offer in Beverly Hills
Kitchen Remodeling
Kitchen Remodeling in Beverly Hills might mean updating a 1930s lath-and-plaster galley in the flats or rebuilding a chef’s kitchen in a contemporary estate. In both cases, the plumbing stack, the electrical panel, and the city’s plan-check queue all matter as much as the countertops.

Bathroom Remodeling
Original cast-iron and galvanized supply lines are common in the 90211 and 90212 housing stock, and we almost always replace them while walls are open. Beverly Hills inspectors are particular about waterproofing, drain slope, and venting during Bathroom Remodeling in Beverly Hills, and we’d rather meet them on the rough-in than argue after tile is set.

Roofing
Homes in the 90210 hills sit inside the Wildland-Urban Interface, which means CAL FIRE Chapter 7A governs the roof assembly: Class A materials, ember-resistant vents, and ignition-resistant edges are not optional upgrades. We install GAF and CertainTeed Beverly Hills Roofing systems that clear plan check and the fire marshal on the first pass.

Windows & Doors
Windows & Doors - Beverly Hills replacement on a 1920s Tudor or a mid-century modern in the hills brings its own set of demands, from matching sightlines and mullion profiles to meeting the city’s energy and egress requirements. We carry Simonton, Ply Gem, and PGT lines, so the window you pick is a window you can look up.
Fence Installation
Beverly Hills has specific height limits, setback rules, and material restrictions for fences, and hillside lots add retaining-wall and drainage questions to the mix. We pull the permit, build to the city’s standard, and put the scope in writing before we dig a single post hole.
Driveway & Pavers
Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers show up on a lot of Beverly Hills driveways because they hold up to the heat and hillside runoff better than poured concrete alone. We handle the base prep, drainage, and finish work the city actually checks.
Home Additions & ADU
Adding square footage in Beverly Hills, whether it’s a second-story bump-out or a detached ADU, means navigating geotechnical reports, hillside setbacks, and a plan-check queue with its own rhythm. We have been through that process enough times to tell you honestly what will pass and what will not.

Why Beverly Hills’s Climate & Housing Affect Construction
Beverly Hills splits into two very different construction worlds. South of Santa Monica Boulevard, the flats hold a dense grid of 1920s to 1950s Spanish Colonial Revival, Tudor, and traditional homes, and many of them still have original lath-and-plaster walls, aging cast-iron or galvanized supply lines, and undersized electrical panels from the knob-and-tube era. Remodeling these homes means opening walls and finding things the last three owners never touched. North of Sunset, the 90210 hills are a different animal entirely: large-lot estates built on caisson-supported or cut-and-fill pads, where any structural work frequently needs a geotechnical report, deep retaining walls, and engineered drainage before the first inspection. Beverly Hills also sits within a few miles of the Santa Monica and Hollywood fault systems, which is why foundation upgrades and soft-story retrofits keep showing up on the scope of work for the older flat-area housing stock. None of this surprises us anymore, but it should be part of any honest bid you receive.
Pricing for Construction in Beverly Hills
Construction pricing in Beverly Hills runs higher than surrounding LA neighborhoods, and the reasons are structural, not cosmetic. Beverly Hills enforces its own local amendments to the California Building Code, runs an independent plan-check queue, and charges its own fee schedule. A hillside project in the Wildland-Urban Interface adds Chapter 7A roofing and cladding requirements that can push materials alone thousands of dollars higher. As a rough reference, a flat-area kitchen remodel in Beverly Hills typically lands between $65,000 and $140,000 depending on scope and finish level. A primary bathroom remodel runs $38,000 to $85,000. A full roof replacement in the 90210 hills often starts around $28,000 due to fire-safety assemblies. A detached ADU can run $250,000 to $450,000 once plans, geotech, and city fees are in. These are honest ranges, not promises; call (877) 610-1318 for a written estimate specific to your address, and you’ll see every allowance on paper before you sign anything.

FAQs About Construction in Beverly Hills
Yes. Beverly Hills operates its own Building & Safety Division with its own plan-check procedures, fee schedules, and inspection protocols. A permit filed through LADBS will be rejected here, so any work beyond cosmetic finishes needs to go through the city’s system. We pull permits on every eligible job and schedule the inspections ourselves, because the inspector works for you, not for me.
A kitchen remodel in the Beverly Hills flats typically ranges from $65,000 to $140,000, depending on whether you’re dealing with a 1930s lath-and-plaster gut or a larger open-plan reconfiguration. Hillside estate kitchens often run higher due to structural and finish demands. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll give you a written, line-item price that includes every allowance up front.
Only if you change the scope, and even then, the new price arrives as a written change order before the work proceeds. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date, and we don’t do surprises. If something unexpected comes out of the wall, you’ll know the cost before we touch it.
It means your roof replacement in the 90210 hills has to meet Wildland-Urban Interface standards: Class A roofing assemblies, ember-resistant vents, and ignition-resistant materials at the eaves and edges. These are not optional upgrades, and they do add real cost. We install GAF and CertainTeed systems spec’d to pass Beverly Hills and CAL FIRE review the first time.
Plan-check turnaround in Beverly Hills depends on project scope and the current queue, and correction cycles can stretch timelines by weeks or months. Experienced local contractors who know the city’s small cadre of plan checkers and use pre-application meetings can often cut that time meaningfully, which matters when construction loan carrying costs run tens of thousands of dollars per month at Beverly Hills price points. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk you through a realistic schedule for your specific project.
Yes, and we do it free. Bring us any written estimate from any licensed contractor and we’ll review it line by line, tell you what we’d price differently, and what might be missing. That’s a published standing offer, not a sales gimmick. Call (877) 610-1318 and ask for the free second opinion.
If you’re ready to talk about your project, call (877) 610-1318 today. You’ll get Tom or one of his sons on the line, a straight answer about your property, and a free estimate with every scope item in writing. We also honor a $40 discount on any repair over $200, no trip charge inside the county, and a permanent 10% senior and veteran discount. Home.

What Beverly Hills Customers Say
"Addition over the garage matched the original roofline and brickwork so closely that visitors do not realise it was added. He tracked down the closest brick he could find rather than settling."
- Gideon Stroud"The bathroom was finished on the day he said at the start, which nobody had led me to believe was possible."
- Loretta Vanterpool"His sons run the crews and they were in our house for four months. Not once did I feel I had to be home to keep an eye on things."
- Camila Fuentes
