Your General Contractor in Calabasas

Vet before you pick: license status on the CSLB site, current insurance, and finished local work rather than a portfolio of stock photos. 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. We are on this corridor daily through Westlake Village and Agoura Hills, building in the gated communities and along the Santa Monica Mountains edge. Calabasas is the next exit, not a stretch.

What is behind the walls drives it as much as what goes on them. Calabasas homes from the 1970s through the 2000s often carry original panels, plumbing and HVAC at end of life behind premium finishes, and bringing those current belongs in an honest number. Hillside engineering, oak protection and fire-zone materials add their own lines where a parcel triggers them. We walk the house first, then price a fixed scope with the likely unknowns in writing instead of letting them arrive as change orders.

Six to ten weeks on site for a kitchen or primary bath, once approvals clear. The front end is the variable. Two reviewers sign off before work starts here, the city's building department and an HOA architectural committee, and they run on different clocks. We submit both packages together so the reviews overlap instead of stacking, and hillside, oak or fire-zone review gets planned for where a parcel triggers it. You get the full calendar, submittal to final inspection, before we commit to a start date.

For anything beyond cosmetic work, yes. Building work in Calabasas runs through the city's building department, with hillside, oak and fire-zone review layered on where a parcel triggers them. Most neighborhoods add HOA architectural approval on a separate timeline, so the association package is its own submittal rather than a formality attached to the permit. We answer plan check corrections directly and hold inspection dates inside the build calendar. Fire-hardening and tree-protection rules are cheap to design for and expensive to discover at plan check.

Often, and the protection reaches the root zone, not just the trunk. Additions, pools, hardscape, trenching and grading near oaks get reviewed, so we survey the trees during design rather than discovering them at plan check. Built around properly, the oaks are an asset that raises what the finished project is worth. Ignored, they are the fastest way to a redrawn plan.

Along the wildland edge, exterior work builds to fire-hardening standards: Class A roof assemblies, ember-resistant vents, and exterior materials rated for the exposure. A remodel or re-roof is the natural, economical moment to bring an older home current, because the crews and access are already there. We design to those standards from the first sheet rather than retrofitting them after a correction.

Yes, 24 hours a day on (805) 414-0840. Crews dispatch from Ventura, and Calabasas is the far end of our service area, so we quote a real arrival window when you call instead of a slogan. We already run this corridor daily, mitigation starts the day you call, and the rebuild runs under the same license from dry-out through finished paint.

Yes. High-end rental turnovers that protect the asset, common area repairs, and board-approved capital work scoped for votes with options priced honestly. Managers get per-unit pricing that holds across a property, standing certificates of insurance, written scopes a reserve study can use, and one point of contact instead of a vendor list. Documentation is the deliverable as much as the work is. Start at HOA and property maintenance.
