Custom Homes

Planned With You From The Start.

We work with homeowners from early design conversations through construction.

Projects go smoothest when we are involved before the architectural plans are final, since that is when structural or budget issues are easiest to catch.

  • Early design and budget conversations
  • Permits and inspections
  • Daily site supervision
  • Finish carpentry and built-ins

Home Renovations

Renovations That Keep The Character Of The House.

Many homeowners start with one room, like a kitchen or primary bathroom, and come back for a larger renovation once they have seen how we run a job site.

Questions

Questions About This Work.

Straight answers to what people ask before a project like this starts.

Read All Questions
Can you help with custom home builds from the ground up?

Yes. Custom home building is one of our specialties alongside remodeling. We work with homeowners from early design conversations through construction. Projects go smoothest when we are involved before the architectural plans are final, since that is when structural or budget issues are easiest to catch.

What types of remodeling projects do you specialize in?

Our core residential work is kitchen remodeling, bathroom renovations, ADU construction and full custom home builds. Many homeowners start with a smaller remodel, like a kitchen or primary bathroom, and come back for a larger renovation once they have seen how we run a job site.

What makes Narrative Construction different from other LA general contractors?

We are a small, hands-on team, not a large volume operation. The person who quotes your project is usually the same person supervising it on site, so you are not passed from one project manager to the next.

What should I expect during my first consultation?

We start by walking the space with you and asking how you use the room day to day, as well as how it should look. A kitchen for a family that cooks every night gets designed differently than one for someone who mostly entertains. That conversation saves time and budget later.
