Home additions in Long Beach

A Long Beach addition runs on the same plan we use in Lakewood, Torrance and San Pedro, with the City of Long Beach reviewing the drawings.

The way we run a Long Beach addition is the same way we run one in Lakewood, Torrance, Lomita or San Pedro. We measure the house, draw the addition, take it through plan review and then build while everyone still sleeps under the same roof. What changes from one city to the next is the office that checks the plans and the setback and height limits in its code, never the care that goes into the room.

One method across nearby cities

Whether the job is across the line in Lakewood or out on the peninsula in Rolling Hills Estates or Rolling Hills, each addition gets measured drawings of the existing house, a structural check of the walls the new room touches and a written proposal broken out by trade. In Long Beach the City of Long Beach reviews the plans and sends its own inspectors. Neighboring cities have their own departments with their own forms, and we file with whichever one covers the address.

A bigger house for a bigger family

A second story can add bedrooms without giving up the yard, while a ground floor wing keeps a parent or a toddler away from stairs. Either way, connectors and flashing are picked for damp air, and siding or stucco is matched to the original. The new space is framed and closed in first, with the cut into the existing house saved for late in the schedule. Kitchens, baths and bedrooms stay in use for most of the job, and dust walls go up wherever work meets lived-in rooms.
