With an Unwavering Commitment to Excellence, Scanlon Construction Meticulously Builds Custom Residences that Redefine Luxury Living

Custom Home Construction

There is no greater expression of a home than one designed and built exactly to your vision. Scanlon Construction specializes in new luxury home construction throughout Los Angeles, with completed projects ranging from 2,000 to 15,000 square feet. We work seamlessly alongside your architect — or can connect you with trusted architectural partners — to translate even the most complex designs into a finished home that exceeds expectations.

From board-formed concrete modernist residences to traditional estates and coastal retreats, our team has the skill and experience to build it. Every custom home we deliver reflects the same unwavering commitment to quality that has defined Scanlon Construction since 1953.

What's included:

Luxury Home Renovation & Remodeling

A luxury remodel is not just about updating a space — it's about reimagining how you live in it. As an experienced renovation contractor serving Los Angeles for over seven decades, Scanlon Construction approaches every remodel with the precision of a craftsman and the vision of a designer. We handle complete whole-home renovations as well as targeted room remodels — kitchens, primary suites, bathrooms, living areas, and everything in between. Our work on projects like the El Medio residence (a 3,500-square-foot remodel of a Spanish-style Pacific Palisades home) and the Sloan project (a full gut renovation of a 1966 Mid-Century home) reflects the range and depth of what we do.

Renovation specialties include:

Home Additions & Room Additions

When your family grows and your home doesn't, Scanlon Construction builds additions that feel like they were always meant to be there. As a trusted home addition contractor in Los Angeles, we design and build seamless additions that match your home's existing architecture — in style, material, and character — while adding the space and functionality you need.

Whether it's a new primary suite, a family room extension, a second story, or an expanded kitchen, our additions integrate so naturally that you'd never know they weren't part of the original design.

Addition types we build:

ADU Construction

Los Angeles homeowners are discovering what Scanlon Construction has long understood: a well-designed ADU is one of the smartest investments you can make. Whether for rental income, a home office, a guest suite, or multi-generational living, Scanlon Construction builds ADUs that are as thoughtful and refined as the main residence.

Our ADU work spans a wide range of styles and footprints. The Zen Den — an 800-square-foot accessory dwelling and pool house in Venice, California, designed in collaboration with David Hertz Architects — is a prime example of what a carefully executed ADU can be.

As an experienced ADU contractor in Los Angeles, we navigate the permitting process, handle all construction, and deliver a finished unit that adds lasting value to your property.

ADU services include:

Fire Rebuild & Restoration

Following the 2025 Los Angeles wildfires, Scanlon Construction is now accepting fire rebuild projects throughout the Pacific Palisades, Altadena, Malibu, and surrounding communities. We bring the same craftsmanship and project management to fire rebuilds that we bring to every project — combined with experience working alongside insurance adjusters and navigating the expedited permitting process for fire-affected properties.

Green & Sustainable Construction

Sustainability is not an add-on at Scanlon Construction — it's built into how we work. Our team holds Certified Green Building Professional (CGBP) designation and LEED certification, and we are fully current on California's evolving energy efficiency and sustainable building codes.

From solar-ready construction and high-performance insulation to non-toxic materials and water-efficient systems, we build homes that are better for their owners and better for the environment — without sacrificing an ounce of luxury.

How We Work

When you hire Scanlon Construction, you get more than a crew — you get a dedicated partner invested in the outcome of your project. Here's what that looks like in practice.

Design Development & Pre-Construction

Before a single nail is driven, we invest time in thorough pre-construction planning. We work through designs in detail, identify potential challenges early, and create a clear, realistic timeline and budget. This upfront rigor is what separates a smooth build from a costly one.

Full-Time Onsite Management

Every Scanlon project has a dedicated onsite project manager who oversees every phase of construction. You'll always know who to call, what's happening on site, and where your project stands.

Transparent Reporting

We keep clients fully informed throughout the build with detailed documentation, progress photos, and regular updates. For clients who have relocated or travel frequently, we offer remote project monitoring — so you can follow along from anywhere.

Insurance & Third-Party Coordination

From working with architects and engineers to coordinating with insurance adjusters on rebuild projects, Scanlon Construction manages all third-party relationships so the process stays streamlined for you.
