Serving Santa Monica
General Contractor in Santa Monica
Coastal remodels with Santa Monica's own permit process.
Waltco Development is a licensed general contractor (CSLB #625535) working in Santa Monica from our shop and showroom on South Vermont Avenue in Los Angeles. We build additions and ADUs, remodel kitchens and baths, and install and refinish hardwood floors under our C-15 flooring licence.
Permits for Santa Monica projects are issued by the City of Santa Monica Building and Safety Division. Much of Santa Monica lies in the California coastal zone, where some projects need coastal review as well.
Permits and historic districts in Santa Monica
Santa Monica is its own city with its own Building and Safety Division, so plan check, submittal requirements and inspections are separate from the City of Los Angeles. A job that would be routine across the border can need different drawings here, so we work to Santa Monica's requirements from the first set of plans.
Santa Monica also has designated historic districts, such as the Third Street Neighborhood Historic District, where exterior changes follow the district's own standards. Homes near the ocean sit in the coastal zone as well. We check both for your address before the scope is fixed.
