General Contractor in Brentwood
Built for Brentwood. Done Right.
Brentwood sets a high bar. The homes along Mandeville Canyon Road, through Brentwood Park and down toward San Vicente Boulevard represent some of the most carefully maintained and thoughtfully designed residential real estate in Los Angeles. When something needs to be built, renovated or repaired here, the contractor you bring in needs to match that standard.
Shulmen Construction has been doing exactly that across Brentwood and greater Los Angeles for years. We are a full-service licensed general contractor handling everything from ground-up construction and luxury remodeling to same-day repairs and long-term property maintenance. Our team knows this zip code, 90049, the permitting process at LADBS, the HOA expectations in communities like Brentwood Park and the hillside considerations that come with building on Brentwood's varied terrain.
If you have a project in Brentwood, we are ready to talk.
What We Do in Brentwood
Shulmen Construction offers one of the most complete service menus of any general contractor working in Brentwood today. Most contractors here specialize in one or two trades. We cover all of them, under one roof, with one point of contact and one standard of quality across every job.
Full Home Remodel
Some Brentwood homes have not been touched in decades. Others have been partially updated and need the rest brought up to the same level. A few are perfect on paper but no longer fit how their owners actually live. Shulmen Construction approaches every full home remodel as its own project, reading what the property needs, what the neighborhood expects and what the client envisions. We handle design coordination, LADBS permitting, HOA submittals, construction and finishing with no corners cut at any stage.
Kitchen Remodeling
Brentwood kitchens tend to be generous in size and ambitious in expectation. Our clients here want a kitchen that functions like a professional space and looks like it was designed for the house it lives in. Shulmen Construction works with custom cabinetry makers, imported stone suppliers and top-tier appliance brands to deliver kitchen remodels that hold up to scrutiny from every angle. Layouts, lighting, storage and flow are all part of the conversation from day one.
Bathroom Remodeling
The best bathroom remodels in Brentwood look like the room was always exactly this good. That is the goal Shulmen Construction sets on every bathroom project. Materials that feel permanent, finishes that age beautifully and details that reward close attention. We work across the full range of bathroom work, from master suite overhauls with heated flooring, freestanding tubs and custom stonework to secondary bathrooms that simply need to be done properly.
ADU (Additional Dwelling Unit)
Brentwood's lot sizes and property values make ADU development one of the smartest moves an owner can make. Shulmen Construction has navigated the Los Angeles ADU permitting process many times and knows how to move a project from feasibility through LADBS approval to a finished, livable space without unnecessary delays. We build detached guest homes, garage conversions, pool houses and standalone units, all designed to look and feel like they belong on the property.
Permitted Guest House
A permitted guest house adds real value to a Brentwood estate, both in how the property functions day to day and in what it is worth long term. Shulmen Construction manages the full scope of permitted guest house construction, from initial zoning review and permit drawings through build and final inspection. We are familiar with the specific requirements that apply in the 90049 area and work to deliver spaces that are architecturally consistent with the main residence and finished to the same standard.
Room Addition
Brentwood homeowners who need more space can move or add on. Most choose to stay. Shulmen Construction's room addition work ranges from single-room expansions to full second-story additions, always designed to read as a natural part of the original structure. We handle the structural engineering coordination, city permitting and every phase of construction, delivering the additional square footage you need without compromising the character of your home.
Construction Management
Large projects in Brentwood involve a lot of moving parts. Architects, engineers, trades, inspectors, HOA liaisons and material suppliers often run in parallel. Shulmen Construction's construction management service gives property owners a single experienced professional overseeing all of it. We set and hold timelines, manage budgets, coordinate subcontractors and keep communication clear so there are no surprises and no gaps in accountability.
Construction Planning
Good planning is what separates a smooth Brentwood construction project from a costly one. Shulmen Construction's planning work covers everything that needs to happen before ground breaks. Scope development, material and finish selection, sequencing, cost modeling and a full permitting strategy with the City of Los Angeles are all mapped out in advance so that when work begins, everyone is building from the same clear picture.
Building Maintenance
Properties in Brentwood require consistent upkeep to stay at the level the neighborhood demands. Shulmen Construction provides ongoing building maintenance programs for both residential and commercial properties, covering routine inspections, preventive repairs and system servicing. Our clients use us as a long-term partner, a contractor who knows their property and keeps it in excellent condition before small issues become expensive ones.
Roofing
Brentwood roofs deal with sun exposure, seasonal wind and the occasional heavy rain that the area sees in winter months. The roofing work Shulmen Construction does is built for that reality. Materials are selected for how the home looks and for how the roof will perform over years of Southern California weather. We provide full roof replacement, targeted repair, leak detection and specialty material installation including tile, slate and flat roof systems common on Brentwood's architectural range.
Water Damage Remediation/Repair
Water intrusion in a Brentwood home can move quickly from a localized problem to a structural one. Shulmen Construction's response to water damage is fast and thorough. We handle extraction, drying, mold assessment and remediation, followed by full repair of affected walls, flooring, ceilings and any compromised plumbing. We document the damage, work methodically through the restoration and return the space to its original condition or better.
Fire Damage Remediation
Fire damage recovery is one of the more demanding things a general contractor can be asked to do. The physical damage is only part of it. Smoke infiltration, structural compromise and the emotional weight of the situation all need to be navigated carefully. Shulmen Construction's fire damage restoration work in Brentwood covers everything from debris removal and smoke remediation to full structural rebuilding and luxury refinishing. We treat every project with the seriousness it deserves.
Flooring Installation
Flooring in a Brentwood home does a lot of work. It sets the tone for the entire interior, takes constant foot traffic and needs to hold up for years without showing it. Shulmen Construction installs hardwood, marble, natural stone, large-format tile, luxury vinyl and custom carpet across a wide range of Brentwood properties. We pay close attention to subfloor preparation because the quality of the finish depends on what is underneath it.
Hardscaping
Brentwood properties often present hardscaping challenges that flat-lot work does not. Hillside grading, drainage management, retaining wall design and terrain-specific material choices all come into play. Shulmen Construction has experience working across Brentwood's varied topography, building driveways, motor courts, patios, outdoor staircases and retaining structures that are engineered properly and finished beautifully. We approach outdoor surfaces with the same attention we bring to interior work.
Swimming Pool Construction
A well-built pool can become the defining feature of a Brentwood property. Shulmen Construction designs and builds custom pools, spas and water features calibrated to the specific lot, architecture and lifestyle of each client. We manage design, LADBS permitting, excavation, plumbing, equipment installation and tiling, coordinating with HOA requirements in communities where they apply and delivering finished pools that look and perform exactly as promised.
Landscaping
Landscaping in Brentwood needs to be attractive, sustainable and sensible for the Southern California climate. Shulmen Construction's landscaping work includes drought-tolerant planting design, hillside erosion management, custom irrigation systems and landscape lighting. We design with the long view in mind, creating outdoor environments that look intentional from the first season and improve over time.
Deck and Fence Installation and Repair
Decks, pergolas and perimeter fencing on a Brentwood property carry real visual weight. They are part of the first impression and part of the daily experience of living in the home. Shulmen Construction builds and restores these structures with the same attention to material quality and construction detail that we bring to interior work. Privacy gates, custom wood decking, iron fencing and HOA-compliant perimeter structures are all within our scope.
Electrical work and repairs
The electrical demands in a modern Brentwood home go well beyond what most older systems were designed for. Smart home automation, EV charging, whole-home audio, security infrastructure and high-end lighting all require a licensed electrician who knows what they are doing. Shulmen Construction's master electricians handle panel upgrades, full system rewiring, new circuit installation and complex troubleshooting, all permitted and inspected to California code.
Plumbing work and Repairs
Shulmen Construction's licensed plumbers work across the full range of residential plumbing in Brentwood, from emergency leak repairs and rerouting in older homes to the installation of high-end fixtures, water filtration systems and custom plumbing configurations in newly remodeled spaces. We are straightforward about what a job requires and what it will cost. We do not leave a property until the work is done correctly.
Drywall Repair
Hollywood homes, particularly older ones, tend to have wall and ceiling conditions that require more than a standard patch job. Horsehair plaster, textured surfaces, curved walls and the settling that comes with age in hillside structures all demand a drywall specialist who knows what they are looking at. Shulmen Construction's drywall team produces repairs that integrate cleanly with existing surfaces, properly matched in texture and finish and ready for paint without visible evidence of the repair.
Painting Services
Interior and exterior painting in Brentwood needs to account for strong sun, temperature swings and the long sight lines that larger properties create. Shulmen Construction's painters prepare surfaces properly before a single coat goes on, filling, sanding, priming and masking with the care that quality paint work demands. We use premium paints and finishes throughout, covering interior color work, exterior repaints, cabinet refinishing and specialty applications including Venetian plaster and limewash.
Appliance Installation
High-end appliance installation in a Hollywood home requires coordinating the electrical, gas and plumbing connections properly and ensuring the appliance sits correctly in its space. Shulmen Construction installs the full range of professional and luxury appliances found in Hollywood residences, from built-in refrigeration and professional ranges to wine storage, steam ovens and integrated smart appliance systems. Everything is calibrated and tested before we leave.
Furniture Assembly
For Brentwood homeowners furnishing new spaces after a remodel or a move, Shulmen Construction provides professional furniture assembly with careful attention to detail. We handle complex multi-piece assemblies, secure wall anchoring where needed and precise placement, then remove all packaging and leave the space clean and ready to use.
General Repair Services
Between larger projects, Brentwood properties still need regular attention. Shulmen Construction's repair services cover the range of smaller repairs and installations that keep a home functioning properly, from light fixtures, cabinet hardware and door adjustments to smart home devices, minor plumbing fixes and seasonal maintenance items. We send the same caliber of professional who handles our larger work, because the standard does not change based on the size of the job.
