Choosing a contractor is one of the biggest decisions a homeowner makes. At Shecter Design & Build, we earn that trust by doing things differently. One team, start to finish. As a design-build firm, we handle design, permitting, and construction in-house. No handoffs between disconnected teams, no gaps in communication, no surprises at the end. You work with us from day one to move-in day. We're fully licensed, bonded, and insured — CA Lic #1080682, General Liability through James River Insurance, and Workers' Comp through State Compensation Insurance Fund. You're protected at every stage of your project. Transparent communication. You'll always know where your project stands. We provide regular updates, respond same-day to questions, and never leave you guessing about timelines or costs. Permits handled. We pull every required permit and manage all inspections so your project is fully legal, up to code, and doesn't create problems when you sell. A track record you can see. Browse our project gallery — real kitchens, bathrooms, additions, and outdoor spaces we've built for homeowners across Woodland Hills, Calabasas, Malibu, Conejo valley, Palisades Encino, and the San Fernando Valley. We don't cut corners. We build homes we'd be proud to live in ourselves.
