Home Remodeling, Additions & ADU Construction in Santa Monica

Superior Home Builders is a licensed general contractor delivering custom homes, remodels, and additions throughout Santa Monica. For over 20 years, our design-build team has helped beachside homeowners — from the craftsman bungalows of Ocean Park to the modern residences north of Montana — build coastal homes that are as durable as they are beautiful.

Santa Monica is its own city, with some of the strictest building, sustainability, and seismic standards in California. We know that landscape intimately, pairing meticulous craftsmanship with local permitting expertise to deliver sophisticated, energy-smart spaces on schedule and on budget.

Santa Monica Home Building & Remodeling Services

From Sunset Park to Wilmont and the streets north of Montana Avenue, Superior Home Builders delivers full-service residential construction across Santa Monica. Our in-house design-build team keeps architecture, engineering, and construction under one roof, so your project moves seamlessly from concept to completion.

Custom Coastal Home Construction

We build ground-up custom homes and teardown-rebuilds engineered for Santa Monica’s marine climate and demanding review process. Whether you favor a restored craftsman or a light-filled contemporary, we design for salt-air durability, natural light, and the indoor-outdoor living that defines beachside life.

Kitchen & Bathroom Remodeling

We remodel kitchens and baths with custom cabinetry, premium stone, and layouts that make the most of Santa Monica’s compact lots — blending timeless design with the energy efficiency the city’s green building code rewards.

Home & Room Additions

Love your Santa Monica neighborhood but need more room? We design seamless additions and second-story expansions that respect your home’s character while adding usable square footage within the city’s tight setback and height limits.

ADU Construction & Garage Conversions in Santa Monica

With Santa Monica’s high property values and strong rental demand, an accessory dwelling unit is one of the smartest investments a homeowner can make. We design and build detached ADUs, attached units, and garage conversions that add income, flexibility, and long-term value to your property.

Our team manages the full process with the City of Santa Monica, engineering each unit for coastal conditions and Title 24 energy compliance while honoring the city’s setback, height, and design standards. Because Santa Monica layers its own requirements on top of state ADU law, local know-how keeps your project moving.

Every unit is finished to the same standard as our custom homes — premium insulation, efficient systems, and design continuity with your main residence.

Navigating Santa Monica Permits & Building Codes

Santa Monica is an independent city with its own Community Development Department and Building & Safety Division — so projects here follow City of Santa Monica standards, not LADBS. The city enforces rigorous plan review, coastal-zone rules, and one of California’s most aggressive green building and seismic-retrofit programs.

We manage the entire permit lifecycle with the city and build to full compliance with California HCD and Title 24 energy standards. From soft-story seismic retrofits to high-performance insulation and efficient systems, our work is engineered to clear Santa Monica plan check the first time.
