GENERAL CONSTRUCTION IN WESTLAKE VILLAGE. YOUR LOCAL LICENSED DESIGN-BUILD CONTRACTORS – SINCE 1999
More than a general contractor. A single team that takes your project from first conversation to final walkthrough.
A SMARTER APPROACH TO GENERAL CONTRACTING
When Westlake Village homeowners search for a general contractor, they’re really looking for someone they can trust to take a complex project off their plate and deliver it back better than they imagined.
That’s exactly what we do. As a licensed California General Building Contractor operating through a design-build model, we bring planning, design, budgeting, and construction together under one accountable team. There’s no handoff between a designer who doesn’t know your budget and a contractor who didn’t see the original vision. Everything is connected from day one.

WHY CHOOSE STATE RESTORATION?
25+ Years in Westlake Village
Design and Construction, Working Together
In a traditional general contractor model, design and construction are separate, which can mean cost surprises, miscommunication, and change orders. We align design with real construction costs from the onset, so what gets drawn actually gets built, on budget.
Licensed and Fully Qualified
We hold a California General Building Contractor (Class B) license, meeting all state requirements including verified construction experience, exams, bonding, and insurance. You're in qualified hands.
One Team, One Contract, One Point of Contact
Your project is managed by one dedicated project manager who oversees design, budgeting, material selection, permits, and construction. No handoffs, no finger-pointing, no gaps in communication.
Fewer Surprises, Better Outcomes
Because our team addresses feasibility, permitting, and site conditions during the design phase not after construction starts, costly mid-project changes are the exception, not the rule.
Transparent Budgeting From the Start
Costs are evaluated in real time as your design develops. That means you'll always know where you stand, and your final investment reflects decisions you've already approved.
Competitive pricing
We offer extremely competitive pricing. Our team handles many projects and we pass the savings on materials and labor to you.
Design and BUILD
Kitchen Remodeling
From layout redesign to material curation and full installation, we make sure your kitchen is beautifully designed and realistically budgeted before a single wall comes down.
Bathroom Remodeling
We coordinate every detail: design selections, construction logistics, inspections, and finishes. The result is a bathroom that balances style, function, and long-term durability.
Full Home Remodeling
Whole-home renovations benefit most from early coordination. We manage architectural planning, budgeting, material sourcing, and construction under one seamless process.
Additions & Structural Work
Hillside builds, room additions, and structural reconfigurations require early engineering and precise cost alignment. Our integrated team addresses these complexities from the first meeting
General Construction & Project Management
As licensed general contractors, we handle permits, inspections, subcontractor coordination, and on-site management.
HOW WE WORK
Consultation and Planning
We start with a conversation about your goals, your home, and your timeline. Whether you have detailed plans or just a general direction, we'll figure out the right structure for your project together.
Design and Selection
Our team develops custom designs for your home and guides you through material, finish, and layout choices that balance beauty, function, and budget, all under one roof.
Budget Alignment
Design development and budgeting happen simultaneously. By the time your plans are finalized, you already know what things cost and there is no guesswork and no last-minute sticker shock.
Permits and Construction Management
We manage all permits, inspections, subcontractor scheduling, and on-site supervision. Our team ensures quality, safety, and code compliance throughout Ventura County and beyond.

ARCHITECTURE SERVICES
For projects that require architectural drawings, we work with Brent Schneider of Schneider Architects, a longstanding partner with over 29 years of experience designing custom California homes. By integrating his team into our design-build process from the start, we eliminate the disconnect between creative vision and real-world execution.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between a general contractor and a design-build firm?
A general contractor typically steps in after plans are finalized. A design-build firm like State Restoration integrates design, budgeting, and construction under one contract. This improves our clients experience with consistent and reliable communication, reduced surprises, and creating a smoother experience from start to finish.
Are you a licensed general contractor in California?
Yes. We hold a California General Building Contractor (Class B) license, meeting all state requirements for residential construction including exams, bonding, insurance, and CSLB oversight.
Is design-build more expensive than hiring a general contractor separately?
When you factor in change orders, redesigns, and delays results come in comparable or lower overall costs, with far fewer financial surprises along the way. We leverage our relationships with suppliers and subcontractors and often deliver financial savings to our clients.
Can I use my own architect or designer?
Yes. We’re happy to collaborate with outside professionals when the fit is right. That said, many of our clients find the simplicity of one integrated team to be a significant advantage.
What types of projects benefit most from a design-build approach?
Whole-home remodels, additions, kitchen renovations, and any project with structural or permitting complexity tend to benefit most from having design and construction coordinated under one team from day one.
Do you handle permits and inspections in Westlake Village?
Yes. We manage all permits, inspections, and coordination with local jurisdictions throughout Ventura County and the surrounding communities we serve.
How far in advance should I reach out?
The earlier, the better. Early involvement gives us time to plan properly, align your budget realistically, and schedule your project around your timeline.
What areas do you serve?
We serve Westlake Village, Thousand Oaks, Calabasas, Malibu, and surrounding Ventura and Los Angeles County communities. Our showroom is located in Westlake Village.
