Sherman Oaks, CA — Our Local Expertise
Sherman Oaks is one of the most dynamic neighborhoods in the San Fernando Valley — a community where post-war bungalows sit alongside mid-century ranch homes and contemporary remodels on tree-lined streets. The housing stock here is diverse: flat lots near Ventura Boulevard lend themselves naturally to detached backyard ADUs, while properties climbing toward Mulholland Drive offer stunning views but come with additional considerations — hillside grading requirements, LA’s Hillside Area regulations, and in some zones, Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone (VHFHSZ) compliance. Knowing which rules apply to your specific parcel before breaking ground is not optional — it’s essential.
We’ve worked on projects throughout Sherman Oaks, from straightforward garage conversions on flat R1 lots to more complex attached ADUs on hillside parcels. That hands-on experience means we can assess your site accurately from day one — identifying potential permitting complications early and building a realistic timeline before any money changes hands. Our office in Van Nuys is under 10 minutes away, which translates to faster site visits, tighter project management, and a team that’s genuinely available when you need them.
Kobzev Pro handles every stage in-house: architectural design, LADBS permit procurement, and full construction. There are no subcontractor handoffs, no project management gaps, and no surprise costs. Whether you’re adding a rental unit in your backyard, converting an existing garage, or fully renovating a 1960s kitchen, we deliver clean, permitted, high-quality work on a fixed price.
What We Build in Sherman Oaks
Kobzev Pro delivers a complete range of general contracting services to Sherman Oaks homeowners — managed under one roof from design through final inspection. We build detached backyard ADUs, convert garages into permitted living units, and construct attached additions that expand your home’s footprint. For hillside properties, we navigate the additional LADBS requirements and fire zone compliance that flat-lot projects don’t face. On the remodeling side, we handle full kitchen renovations, custom bathroom remodels, and whole-home transformations. Every project starts with a fixed-price written proposal, includes full LADBS permit management, and comes with a dedicated point of contact who keeps you informed from start to finish.

Everything you need to know before starting your ADU or remodeling project in Sherman Oaks, CA.
Yes — but hillside properties in Sherman Oaks come with additional requirements that flat-lot projects don’t face. Properties located in the City of Los Angeles Hillside Area are subject to stricter grading standards, increased setback rules, and in some cases, brush clearance and fire-resistive construction requirements under the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone (VHFHSZ) designation. A soils report and grading plan are typically required before LADBS will approve an ADU permit on a steep lot. Kobzev Pro conducts a detailed site assessment during the free in-home consultation to identify these factors early — so your timeline and budget reflect the real scope of the project before any work begins.
Yes, Kobzev Pro Contracting Group is a fully licensed B-General Building Contractor in the State of California. We carry full General Liability insurance and Worker’s Compensation coverage to protect your property and our team throughout the entire project.
Yes! For bathroom and kitchen remodels, most clients stay home. We isolate the work zone to minimize dust and noise disruption. We just ask that you have access to a secondary bathroom/kitchenette if needed.
In most Los Angeles areas, especially those near public transit, current California law (SB 9 and ADU mandates) eliminates the requirement to replace covered parking when converting an existing garage. This makes the process much more affordable and feasible for most homeowners.
Yes. While we don’t sell materials directly, we guide you through the selection process, recommending trusted local suppliers for tile, fixtures, and vanities to ensure quality and compatibility.
Yes, typically a garage conversion costs 20% to 40% less than a ground-up detached ADU. Since the foundation, walls, and roof are already in place, you save significantly on structural materials and labor, allowing you to invest more in high-end interior finishes.
