We Know How Huntington Beach Works

Remodeling in Huntington Beach means working with the City’s Community Development Department and Permit Center, navigating HOA requirements in gated communities like Seacliff and Huntington Harbour, and understanding the coastal design standards that apply to many properties near Pacific Coast Highway. Permits are submitted through the City of Huntington Beach online permit portal, and most structural projects including room additions, ADUs, pool installations, and patio covers require plan check approval before work begins. The city offers a Pre-Approved ADU Plan for a detached 490 sq ft unit that can speed up the process significantly. Detached ADUs require a minimum 4-foot setback from rear and side property lines, and patio covers must maintain a 5-foot clearance from side and rear property lines. We’ve completed remodeling projects across Huntington Beach including Seacliff, Huntington Harbour, Yorktown, Downtown HB, Goldenwest, and the Southeast neighborhoods. Whether you’re upgrading your kitchen, transforming your backyard with pavers and an outdoor kitchen, adding an ADU, or installing a pool, our team provides a complete design-build service from start to finish.
