General Contractor in Agoura Hills, California
Serving Agoura Hills Since 1994 · Licensed & Insured · Lic. #1027281
Agoura Hills sits at the gateway to the Santa Monica Mountains, and some of our proudest work lives here, including the Riff Raff Car Club, a custom facility built for people serious about their machines. Master Construction brings that same craftsmanship to Agoura Hills homes: remodels, custom projects, and rebuilds, all by licensed crews (Lic. #1027281).
Local Knowledge
We already build here, and it shows.
Ask the Riff Raff Car Club what it is like to build with us. That project demanded custom everything, from specialty garage systems to finishes that photograph like a magazine spread, delivered on a real schedule. Agoura Hills homeowners get the same treatment, whether the project is a kitchen, a hillside deck, or a home hardened against the next fire season.
Hillside work here starts with the site, not the house. Access for equipment, how water moves across the lot, retaining, and where material can be staged all shape what a project costs before a single finish is chosen. On the equestrian properties in Old Agoura there is another layer, since barns, arenas and turnout have to keep working while construction happens around them.
What We Do
What we build in Agoura Hills.
Agoura Hills brings us custom residential projects, kitchen and bath remodels, renovations and additions, commercial buildouts, outdoor living, and roofing with fire zone materials. Design and construction under one roof, minutes from Old Agoura.
Building Here
Building in the City of Agoura Hills.
Agoura Hills is a city of about 20,000 in the Santa Monica Mountains foothills, where equestrian Old Agoura meets newer neighborhoods along the 101. The 2018 Woolsey Fire touched this area hard, and rebuilding and fire hardening remain real priorities, with permits through the city's Planning and Community Development Department. For city services and permit information, visit the City of Agoura Hills official website.
Being in Los Angeles County rather than Ventura County is the single most consequential fact about building in Agoura Hills, and it catches out owners and contractors alike. Different code adoption, different fee schedules, different submittal systems. Add the fire requirements that apply along the Santa Monica Mountains edge and the design constraints arrive earlier than they would on an identical lot up the freeway.

Permits & Plan Check
Permits and plan check in Agoura Hills.
Agoura Hills sits in Los Angeles County rather than Ventura County, so the codes, fees and review process differ from a job a few miles up the 101. Permit and plan check applications are submitted online through the city, using a one-time profile that carries across future applications.
Building & Safety administers the California Building Standards Code from City Hall, with staff available by phone, email or in person. On hillside lots and properties backing onto the Santa Monica Mountains, expect grading and fire requirements to shape the design earlier than they would elsewhere.
FAQ
Agoura Hills FAQ.
Who is the best general contractor in Agoura Hills?
The honest test is simple: an active CSLB license, proof of insurance, and local work you can walk through. Ours includes the Riff Raff Car Club, a custom facility built minutes from Old Agoura for people serious about their machines. Master Construction is family owned, based in Ventura since 1994, licensed (Lic. #1027281) and insured, with an office and showroom at 1450 E. Thompson Blvd and crews working in English and Spanish. Apply that test to anyone bidding your project, including us.
How much does a home remodel cost in Agoura Hills?
On the hillside lots here, the site sets the budget before a single finish is chosen. Equipment access, how water moves across the lot, retaining, and where material can be staged all carry real cost, and homes along the Santa Monica Mountains edge add fire-rated exterior materials on top. Interior scope and finish level drive the rest. We walk the property first, then price a fixed scope with the likely unknowns in writing rather than as change orders later.
How long does a remodel take in Agoura Hills?
Six to ten weeks on site is the honest range for a kitchen or bath once permits are issued. In front of that sits city plan check, submitted online through Agoura Hills Building and Safety, and hillside or fire-zone lots can add grading review and soils work that flat lots skip. We map the full calendar, submittal through final inspection, before committing to a start date, because the approvals decide the schedule more than the construction does.
Do I need a permit to remodel a house in Agoura Hills?
Almost any remodel here needs one. Agoura Hills sits in Los Angeles County, so the codes, fees and review process differ from a job a few miles up the 101 in Ventura County. Applications go in online through the city, using a one-time profile that carries across future submittals, and Building and Safety administers the California Building Standards Code from City Hall, with staff reachable by phone, email or in person. We handle the application and the correction cycle so plan check comments land on our desk, not yours.
What does fire hardening actually involve?
Roof assembly, vents, eaves, exterior cladding, windows and the immediate zone around the structure. California's wildland-urban interface standards govern most of it in the fire zones here, and the highest-value items, ember-resistant vents and a Class A roof, are also among the least visible. We build to those standards rather than treating them as optional.
Can you work around horses and existing outbuildings?
Yes, and in Old Agoura that is routine. Keeping turnout, water and access functioning through construction is a scheduling problem we plan for rather than an inconvenience we discover, and it belongs in the plan from day one.
Do you handle emergency repairs in Agoura Hills?
Yes, around the clock on (805) 414-0840. Our crews are based in Ventura and Agoura Hills sits at the eastern end of our service area, so we give you a straight arrival window when you call rather than a promise we cannot keep. Mitigation starts the day you call, and the rebuild runs under the same license from dry-out through finished drywall and paint. Start at Agoura Hills water damage restoration.
Do you work with property managers and HOAs in Agoura Hills?
Yes. Tenant turnovers, common area repairs and board-approved capital work are a standing part of our week, in Agoura Hills and across the corridor. Boards and managers get certificates of insurance, written scopes a reserve study can use, and one point of contact for everything from drywall to roofing with fire zone materials. Details at HOA and property maintenance.
