Fix Brothers is a licensed and insured general contractor serving Encino, about 20 minutes from our shop. Encino projects are bigger: whole-home renovations of 1960s and 1970s ranch houses, kitchen and primary-bath remodels, pool houses, ADUs and garage conversions on generous lots.
Encino runs along Ventura Boulevard, and it is a neighborhood of larger lots and established homes. We work both sides of the boulevard here, from the ranch and traditional homes on the flats to the bigger custom properties up in the hills off Mulholland. Owners in Encino tend to invest in their homes, so a lot of our work here is upgrade and remodel rather than quick patching.
Need something smaller? Our in-house handyman crew handles repairs, installs and punch-list work in Encino too, with the same fixed written pricing and the same two brothers running the job.
Many Encino homes are 1960s and 1970s builds on generous lots, which means original systems that are due for modernization: kitchen and bath remodels, whole-home repainting, and electrical service upgrades to support pools, EV chargers, and modern appliances. The hillside properties bring drainage and retaining concerns, deck and balcony repair, and exterior wood maintenance under heavy sun. We also do a fair amount of detached-structure work here such as pool houses, ADUs, and garage conversions.
Permits here go through LADBS (City of Los Angeles). We pull them under our own contractor license, schedule inspections and handle Title 24 energy paperwork so you never deal with the counter yourself.
LADBS handles remodel permits in Encino, which is part of the City of Los Angeles. Homes on the flats north of Ventura Boulevard usually follow standard plan check, while the hills south of the boulevard are designated hillside areas under the Baseline Hillside Ordinance, with many lots also in a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone. Properties near Mulholland Drive can fall under the Mulholland Scenic Parkway Specific Plan as well.
We do both. Our in-house handyman crew handles fixture installs, deck and balcony repairs, drywall, painting and finish carpentry for Encino homes, and it's the same crew that runs our remodels. Every job starts with a fixed written estimate. Owners of larger properties can also set up regular maintenance visits so small items get handled between bigger projects.
Usually yes. Many Encino lots are large enough for a detached ADU or pool house, and 1960s and 1970s ranch homes often need an electrical service upgrade to carry the new structure along with a pool, EV charger and modern appliances. We check setbacks, utility routing and any hillside rules before design starts, so the plan works on paper and on the lot. See detached ADU construction.
You get a free, fixed, written estimate after we inspect the house and the systems your project touches. It lists scope, materials, schedule and the permit path. Fix Brothers is a licensed and insured general contractor, and we pull permits under our own license and handle LADBS inspections. The estimate stays fixed unless you approve a written change, and the brothers who write it run the job.
