Contractor in Lakewood.
One of the country's first master-planned suburbs, built out in the 1950s and still defined by its grid of post-war ranch homes. ADUs and thoughtful additions are unlocking enormous value here.
About RAA in Lakewood
Local knowledge, built into every project.
Lakewood was built fast in the early 1950s as a planned community of starter ranches, and most of the housing stock still reflects that origin - 3 bed / 1 bath, ~1,200 sq ft, on a flat lot with a detached or attached garage. That's a near-perfect base for an ADU, garage conversion, or thoughtful primary-suite addition.
Common Lakewood projects: garage-to-ADU conversions, kitchen layouts opened up by removing a load-bearing wall, primary suites added at the rear, and the occasional full second-story add. The flat lots and forgiving setbacks make most of these straightforward to permit.
The City of Lakewood handles its own permitting and is generally pragmatic about ADU scope. We've worked the office repeatedly and know what plan check tends to flag. License, bonding, and insurance available on request.

Lakewood FAQ
Common questions from Lakewood homeowners.
- How far is Lakewood from your office?
- About 35-40 miles south of Woodland Hills. We absolutely work it - Lakewood has been one of our growth areas for ADU conversions.
- Can I convert my detached garage into an ADU?
- Yes. Detached garage conversions are one of the cleanest paths to an ADU in Lakewood - the existing footprint usually meets setback rules, and the city is reasonable on plan check.
- Who pulls Lakewood permits?
- City of Lakewood Building & Safety. We handle the full permit scope including plan check and inspections.
- Do most Lakewood lots support a second story?
- Many do. The original ranches were built light, so meaningful structural reinforcement is usually required. We'll review feasibility during the consultation.
