Consultation & Walkthrough
We walk the space with you, understand what you want to change and why, and give you an honest assessment of what’s involved before you commit to anything.

Most remodels are more involved than they look from the outside. Walls come down, permits get pulled, trades need coordinating, decisions come up mid-project. That’s where a lot of remodels go sideways — not because the vision was wrong, but because the management wasn’t there to hold it together. ARM Builders has been managing major remodels for over 20 years in Beverlywood, Pico-Robertson, Beverly Hills and across Los Angeles. We handle every phase, every trade, and every conversation with the city — and we keep you informed throughout so there are no surprises.





It depends heavily on scope. A single-room remodel might run $50,000 to $150,000. A major whole-home renovation in LA can range from $200,000 to $600,000 or more depending on size, structural changes, and finish level. We provide detailed estimates based on your specific project — not ranges that balloon later.
For most major remodels — anything involving structural changes, electrical, plumbing, or changes to the building envelope — yes. Unpermitted work can create serious problems when you sell, refinance, or if something goes wrong. ARM manages the entire permit process so your remodel is done legally and correctly.
A whole-home renovation typically takes 4 to 9 months depending on scope and how quickly permits are approved. We give you a realistic schedule upfront and flag anything that could affect it before it becomes a problem.
It depends on the scope. For partial remodels, many clients stay in the home. For whole-home renovations, it’s usually more practical to relocate during construction. We discuss this during the initial consultation and help you plan accordingly.
Yes. If you have plans, we build from them. If you’re starting without plans, we can coordinate the design and architecture process before construction begins. Either way, we manage everything from that point forward.
