About RAA in Sherman Oaks

Local knowledge, built into every project.

Sherman Oaks has a housing stock that's harder to remodel than it looks: 1940s-1960s builds, tight lots, older main panels, and plenty of knob-and-tube still hiding in walls. We go in expecting surprises and quote accordingly.

Garage conversions are probably our most common Sherman Oaks project - a fast, affordable path to a permitted ADU that adds legal square footage. Next most common: kitchen openings that knock out a wall to the living room, and primary bath renovations in the 50-year-old tract homes south of Ventura.

RAA has completed projects in Chandler Estates, Valley Vista, Longridge Estates, and along both sides of Ventura Boulevard. We handle all LADBS permits and we know the quirks of panels, gas laterals, and foundations in Sherman Oaks specifically.
