Glendale has its own permits — and older homes
Glendale is its own city, not part of Los Angeles. Building permits are issued by the City of Glendale’s Building & Safety Division, with its own plan check, forms and inspectors. We prepare and submit the plans to Glendale and coordinate the inspections.
A lot of Glendale’s single-family homes were built between the 1920s and the 1950s — Spanish-style, Craftsman and traditional houses with real character, and with old plumbing, wiring and small kitchens and bathrooms. A good remodel here keeps the character and replaces what is worn out behind the walls.
Glendale also has designated historic districts, where exterior changes need design review, and hillside neighborhoods with their own requirements. We check your address before design starts, so the plan fits the rules.
We work in Glendale from our base in Sylmar. Every estimate is free, itemized and in writing within 48 hours, with a free AI design preview and a written warranty of up to 10 years on hidden work.

Frequently asked questions
Who issues building permits in Glendale?
The City of Glendale’s Building & Safety Division, not LADBS. We prepare the drawings and submit them to Glendale.
My house is from the 1930s. What should I expect?
Older homes often have outdated wiring, galvanized or cast-iron plumbing and framing that has been changed over the years. We look for these during the visit and include needed upgrades in the written price.
Is my home in a historic district?
Glendale has several designated historic districts where exterior changes need design review. Interior remodels are usually not affected. We check your address first.
Do you build room additions and ADUs in Glendale?
Yes. Glendale has its own zoning and ADU rules, so we confirm what your lot allows before designing.
