Right Image Builders designs, permits and builds primary-suite additions across the San Fernando Valley from our office in Valley Glen: a new bedroom with a walk-in closet and a full bath on its own foundation, matched to the roof line and exterior of the existing house, permitted through LADBS or the City of Burbank, built by one crew. Licensed & insured, CSLB #1021284. Free consultation: (818) 210-4544.
The 1940s–60s houses of the Valley were built with three small bedrooms and one or two small baths; the primary suite as a separate wing did not exist. A suite addition puts it where the lot allows, usually off the back or the side of the house: a 14-by-16 or larger bedroom, a walk-in closet, and a bath with a double vanity and a walk-in shower, on a new foundation tied into the existing structure.
What it involves: footings and a slab or raised floor to match the house, framing and a roof tied into the existing roof line, the plumbing for a full bath run to the sewer lateral, electrical on new circuits, HVAC extended or a dedicated mini-split, insulation and Title 24 compliance, and stucco, trim and windows matched so the addition reads as original from the street.
The suite is also the addition that returns the most at resale in these neighborhoods, because it is the room buyers expect and the house never had. We price the whole scope, including the bath finishes, in one fixed proposal.
Bedroom, walk-in closet and bath arranged around the existing house; door and window placement that keeps the yard and the privacy.
Stamped structural set, LADBS or City of Burbank permit, Title 24 energy compliance; corrections and inspections handled by us.
Footings and floor to match the house, framing, and a roof tied into the existing roof line.
A waterproofed walk-in shower, tile, a double vanity and lighting, built on a proper pan with the slope that keeps it dry for decades.
Plumbing to the sewer lateral, electrical on new circuits, HVAC extended or a dedicated mini-split.
Stucco texture, roof material, window style and floor height matched so the suite reads as original.
Professional, licensed and insured, and we put that in writing at every step, because a remodel is a trust decision before it is a construction decision.

The proposal lists what is demolished, what is built, which finishes are included and which permit covers it. If it is not written down, it is not in the job.
When walls, floors or roofs open up we photograph what is behind them and send you the pictures. Anything beyond the scope is priced in writing before the crew continues. You never find out from the invoice.
California law caps a home-improvement deposit at $1,000 or 10 percent of the contract, whichever is less. We follow it. Progress payments follow the work, and the final payment comes after your walkthrough.
We submit the plans, meet the inspector and close the permit. You get the closed-permit record, which is what a buyer, an insurer or an appraiser will ask for.
The people who estimate the job are the people who build it. No subcontractor hand-offs, no call center; your project lead answers the phone during the job and after it.
On a 6,000–7,500 sq ft R1 tract lot in Van Nuys, Valley Glen, North Hollywood or Valley Village a rear suite of 400–500 sq ft usually fits inside the rear setback and the floor-area limit; the trade is yard. On the larger lots of Encino, Tarzana and the north side of Sherman Oaks and Studio City there is room for a bigger wing and sometimes a courtyard between the suite and the house. South of Ventura the hillside sets the footprint and brings Baseline Hillside Ordinance review.
Inside the City of Los Angeles the addition is permitted through LADBS; Burbank permits through its own Building & Safety Division; Toluca Lake addresses fall on one side or the other of the line. We pull the parcel on ZIMAS at the first visit so you know the buildable square footage before design starts.
Right Image Builders prices a room addition in Los Angeles the same way every time: a free on-site visit, a measured scope, the LADBS requirements checked for your address, and an itemized fixed price in writing within a few business days.
Hidden conditions are priced in writing when they are found, not on the final invoice; the number you sign is the number you pay, and the final payment follows your walkthrough.
For planning ranges before the visit, see the room addition cost guide.
We visit your home, pull the parcel's zoning, and tell you honestly what you can build — square footage, height, setbacks — and which addition fits your goals and budget.
We produce architectural and structural plans, submit through LADBS, and manage plan check — with a written fixed-price proposal set before construction begins.
One crew builds the addition to signed-off final inspection, matched to your existing home. Final payment is due only after your walkthrough approval.
Tell us what you want to add and we'll get back to you within 4 business hours. We'll confirm what your lot allows before you spend anything on design.
Prefer to talk it through?
We had a tiny living room that opened onto a covered patio we never really used. Right Image Builders designed and built a full family room addition in its place — 400 square feet, vaulted ceiling, skylights, and bifold doors to the garden. It completely changed how we live in this house. You can't tell it's an addition — it looks like it was always there.
Our full home remodel was a massive undertaking. Right Image Builders handled it all — demo, framing, plumbing, electrical, tile, painting. One contract, one crew, one point of contact. I cannot overstate how rare that is in LA.
They walked me through every permit requirement and handled it all himself. The project finished on budget and exactly to spec. My BuildZoom contract check confirmed everything — these guys are top 1% for a reason.

Yes; it is the most common addition we build in the Valley. The suite goes off the back or the side on its own foundation, with the roof line, stucco and windows matched so it reads as original. The sewer lateral location and the rear setback decide where it sits.
Yes. The addition is engineered and permitted through LADBS inside the City of Los Angeles and through the City of Burbank in Burbank, with inspections at foundation, framing, rough systems, insulation and final; we pull and close the permit.
Plan on 2–4 months of design, engineering and plan check, then 3–5 months of construction. The bath is the longest part of the finish work because of waterproofing and tile.
Almost always. The suite is built outside the existing walls until the final connection, so the house stays sealed and livable; the opening into the house is cut near the end.
