AfterConstruction in West Hills, CA
Kitchen remodels in West Hills typically cost $14,000 to $45,000 for a full job, with smaller scopes starting around $9,000. What makes this market different is the housing stock: single-family ranch and split-level homes built in the 1950s through 1970s, many repaired after the 1994 Northridge earthquake, and almost all sitting inside Los Angeles’s Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone. That means every exterior wall, vent, and roof assembly we touch has to meet California Chapter 7A fire-resistant standards that contractors in flatter parts of the Valley rarely deal with. Call Rowan Construction Group at (470) 298-9650 and we’ll put a written price in front of you before anyone picks up a tool.
Why West Hills Homes Are Different
West Hills backs directly into the Santa Susana Mountains and Simi Hills, which puts the entire community in the wildland-urban interface. Practically every re-roof, addition, and exterior remodel here must comply with Chapter 7A: Class A roofing assemblies, ember-resistant vents, and ignition-resistant exterior wall cladding. LA City building inspectors flag missing ember-resistant vents constantly during re-roofing and addition inspections, and that turns into a change order the homeowner didn’t budget for unless the contractor checks for it up front. Our crews walk every West Hills job with Chapter 7A compliance in mind before the written quote goes out, because catching a non-compliant vent during planning costs a few hundred dollars. Catching it during final inspection costs weeks.
The housing stock adds another layer. Many of these post-war ranch homes carry original framing mixed with mid-90s earthquake repairs and aging stucco. Summer temperatures regularly exceed 100°F in the western Valley, which accelerates concrete curing and forces us to schedule flatwork and masonry pours early or late in the day. Then there are the Santa Ana wind events that funnel through the mountain passes and shut down crane work and elevated framing for days at a time. None of this makes West Hills impossible to build in. It makes West Hills a place where the written scope needs to account for wind delays, fire-code walkthroughs, and framing surprises before the number goes on paper.
Our Main West Hills Services
Two trades dominate the calls we get from West Hills homeowners: fence installation and driveway and paver work. Both sit at the intersection of the city’s fire-zone requirements and its hot, windy climate, and both benefit from a contractor who knows the local inspection climate.
Fence Installation in West Hills
Fence lines in West Hills often run directly against the same wildland-urban interface that triggers Chapter 7A rules for homes, which means material choice matters more here than it does a few miles east. Vinyl and aluminum fencing hold up to the summer heat and Santa Ana wind without warping or pulling screws the way untreated wood does, and both meet the ignition-resistance expectations inspectors in the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone look for on perimeter structures. We write the full material and labor price before any post hole is dug. See the full West Hills scope on our Fence Installation in West Hills page.
Driveway & Pavers in West Hills
Paver driveways run $7,000 to $18,000 in West Hills, and concrete runs $4,500 to $12,000, with the hot western Valley climate affecting both: pours need early-morning or late-evening scheduling in summer to control curing, and pavers need properly compacted base layers so the freeze-thaw cycles and wind-driven debris don’t shift them. A paver patio ranges $3,500 to $11,000. We document the base condition before quoting and note any slope or drainage issue in the written scope. Details are on the Driveway & Pavers in West Hills page.

BeforeAfterKitchen Remodeling in West Hills
Kitchen remodeling in West Hills means working inside homes built from 1950 through the 1970s, where original post-war framing often meets mid-90s earthquake repairs and the wall you’re opening may hide both. The western Valley heat also means any exterior wall we touch during a kitchen expansion has to meet Chapter 7A ignition-resistance rules, which changes the cladding and vent spec compared to a remodel in a flatter part of the Valley. Our Kitchen Remodeling approach starts with a written price that accounts for what’s actually behind the stucco, not what a brochure assumes. Figure $14,000 to $45,000 for a full kitchen remodel in West Hills, with smaller scopes from $9,000 to $20,000.

Most of these bathrooms were built in 1950s through 1970s ranch homes, and we routinely find original cast-iron drains, failing tile membranes, and a patchwork of post-earthquake repairs that affects what’s underneath the surface. Our Bathroom Remodeling process starts with a written scope that names the condition of the substrate and the plumbing before the price is final.

A full bathroom remodel in West Hills runs $9,000 to $28,000 depending on whether the footprint changes and what condition the drain lines are in.
How we do it

Yes, and we document them with photos before any change order is written. We never proceed on a change until you sign the new price in writing first. Call (470) 298-9650 for a written quote.
Roofing in West Hills
Roofing in West Hills is governed by Chapter 7A fire-resistant construction standards, because virtually the entire community sits in Los Angeles’s Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone. A roof replacement here runs $8,000 to $20,000, and every assembly has to meet Class A fire ratings with ember-resistant vents, which is the single most flagged item during LA City inspections in this area. Our Roofing crews walk every West Hills roof with compliance in mind, then document what’s there before the written quote goes out.

Signs you need it
Water stains on the ceiling, missing or cracked shingles after a Santa Ana wind event, or granule loss visible in the gutters.
What it costs in West Hills
Roof repair in West Hills runs $400 to $1,800 depending on the size of the damaged area and whether any decking or underlayment needs replacement.
How we do it
We inspect the full roof surface, note the shingle layer count and decking condition, then write a repair scope with a fixed price and document the work with photos.
Roof Replacement & Installation
Signs you need it
The roof is 20-plus years old, has multiple layers of shingles, or you’re doing a larger remodel and the inspector has already flagged non-compliant vents.
What it costs in West Hills
A full roof replacement in West Hills runs $8,000 to $20,000 depending on the square footage, the number of shingle layers to remove, and the Class A assembly spec.

How often do West Hills roofs need replacement?

Windows & Doors in West Hills
Window replacement in West Hills runs $4,500 to $15,000 for a typical full-home project, and impact windows run $8,000 to $25,000 because of the fire-zone and wind requirements that apply here. The 1950s through 1970s ranch homes common to West Hills often still have original single-pane aluminum frames, and the summer heat pushing past 100°F makes those windows a real energy cost. Our Windows & Doors process measures every opening, documents the framing condition, and writes the full price before any order goes in.
Window Replacement
Signs you need it
Frames are warped, the glass is single-pane, condensation sits between panes, or the windows rattle during Santa Ana wind events.
What it costs in West Hills
Window replacement in West Hills runs $4,500 to $15,000 depending on the number of openings, the frame material, and the glass package.
How we do it
We measure every opening, document the existing framing and flashing, then order and install to a written scope with the brand and glass spec named in the quote.
Impact Windows & Doors
Signs you need it
You’re in the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, the home faces the Santa Susana passes, or you want a window and door package that meets both fire and wind standards.
What it costs in West Hills
Impact window installation runs $8,000 to $25,000 in West Hills, with the range driven by opening count, frame material, and glass type.
How we do it
We specify impact-rated frames and glazing that meet Chapter 7A ignition-resistance expectations, then install to the manufacturer’s written installation requirements.
What Windows & Doors Costs in West Hills
| Item | Typical range in West Hills |
|---|---|
| Impact window installation | $8,000 - $25,000 |
| Window replacement | $4,500 - $15,000 |

Yes, in the wildland-urban interface, window frames and glazing are part of the Chapter 7A compliance picture, especially for additions and remodels touching exterior walls. Call (470) 298-9650 for a free estimate, and we’ll walk the compliance scope with you.
How long does window replacement take in West Hills?
A typical full-home window replacement takes 1 to 3 days once the windows arrive, depending on the number of openings and whether the framing needs repair. Call (470) 298-9650 for a written timeline.
Home Additions & ADU in West Hills
Home additions in West Hills run $45,000 to $130,000, and ADU construction runs $90,000 to $220,000 depending on whether you’re converting a garage, building a detached unit, or doing a junior ADU inside the existing footprint. Every addition and ADU in this community has to meet Chapter 7A fire-resistant construction standards, because West Hills sits in the wildland-urban interface, and your plans will be reviewed by LA City inspectors who flag ember-resistant vent and ignition-resistant cladding issues regularly. Our Home Additions & ADU process starts with the compliance walkthrough so those items are priced in the written scope, not discovered mid-inspection.
Garage Conversion ADU
Signs you need it
You have an attached or detached garage that’s underused, the foundation and framing are sound, and you want a permitted living unit without adding a new footprint.

New Detached ADU
Signs you need it
Your lot has the setback room for a detached unit, and you want a fully independent living space with its own utility connections and address.
What it costs in West Hills
A new detached ADU runs $90,000 to $220,000 in West Hills, with the range driven by size, foundation type, utility runs, and the full Chapter 7A exterior spec.
