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.

My jaw dropped after seeing my bathroom. My entire family is so excited and we are in awe for our newly renovated bath in less than a day!!! Even my old sink and cabinet looked elegant because of what Team RAA Construction Group put together.

The project manager was excellent and juggled all the various parts of the build brilliantly. We were able to live in the house throughout. We are really happy with the final product and would recommend.

We had a really great experience with our bathroom remodel! Roy was super professional and answered all our questions. he did amazing work on our shower, and even the team that installed our glass shower doors thought we had completely replaced the tile and shower pan—they were really impressed by the transformation.

My wife and I recently undertook a major home renovation project, which included expanding the kitchen, removing a load-bearing wall to create a more open living space, completely remodeling the bathrooms, installing new flooring, and more. We reached out to several contractors for estimates, including RAA Construction Group, who came highly recommended by my sister based on her own positive experience with them. From our initial consultation, RAA stood out. Not only did they offer fair and highly competitive pricing, but Moti took the time to listen carefully to our vision. He proposed creative, thoughtful solutions to address the unique challenges that often come with older homes. His approach immediately gave us confidence, and made choosing RAA Construction Group an easy decision. The project began on schedule and unfolded exactly as discussed. Throughout every phase—whether it was engineering plans, permits, or construction—Moti was consistently involved, guiding us through the process. He was communicative, receptive to new ideas and changes along the way, and clearly focused on ensuring we would be completely satisfied with the end result. Even during the final walkthrough, Moti was proactive—explaining that small cracks might appear in the ceiling as the house naturally settles after the structural changes, and assuring us that if anything came up within the next 6–12 months, they would return and address it at no cost. That level of accountability and care is rare! In summary, if you’re looking for a trustworthy, skilled, and customer-focused construction company, we wholeheartedly recommend RAA Construction. We’re absolutely thrilled with the outcome of our renovation and will definitely be reaching out to RAA Construction Group for any future construction needs.

From the moment we decided to tear down and rebuild our family home, RAA made the process transparent and reassuring. The quality of workmanship is impeccable, and the project stayed on schedule and on budget throughout.

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.
