Kitchens
Chef-grade layouts, custom cabinetry, slab counters, and integrated appliances — engineered for daily life and long dinners.

Ivy Builders is a licensed California general contractor specializing in kitchens, baths, ADUs, and whole-home remodels — quietly built, cleanly finished, and honest about what things really cost.

A meticulous 11-month evolution of space and light. We transformed a dated hillside ranch into a cohesive masterwork of interior architecture and exterior landscape design.
The brief was calm, warm, and built to disappear so the view stays the loudest thing in the room.
We keep the list short on purpose. Everything we take on gets the same attention as the last project we posted.
Chef-grade layouts, custom cabinetry, slab counters, and integrated appliances — engineered for daily life and long dinners.
Spa-quality baths from primary suites to powder rooms. Tile, stone, and lighting detailed millimeter by millimeter.
Detached and attached ADUs, permitted end-to-end. Rentable square footage, guest houses, and multigenerational living.
Studs-out remodels that rework the plan, open the sightlines, and modernize every system without losing the soul.
Pools, pavers, hardscape, and shade structures. Backyards designed for California weather and California weekends.
Second stories, primary suites, home offices. Structural additions that read as though they were always there.
We publish the price, the schedule, and the change orders the same way we publish the finish. Nothing gets buried.
A walkthrough of your home and a candid conversation about scope, feel, and budget.
Plans, elevations, selections, and a line-item estimate — with no vague allowances.
We pull the permits, run the trades, and hold weekly walkthroughs from demo to punch.
A clean site, a binder of manuals and warranties, and a builder you can text for years.

Ivy Builders started in 2012 with one job, one carpenter, and a promise to leave every site cleaner than we found it. Thirteen years later we’re a fully licensed general contractor with a design-build team, an in-house project manager for every job, and a deep bench of trades we’ve worked with for a decade.
We work with families staying put — not flippers, not trend chasers. The homes we hand back are meant to be lived in for the next thirty years.
“They took our 1970s ranch down to the studs and gave us the home we thought we'd have to move for. Every trade they brought in was excellent.”
