01 — About
Granada Hills'sDesign-ForwardHome Builder
Excel Home Builders is a licensed, locally-owned home building and remodeling company serving Granada Hills from our headquarters in neighboring Northridge. Founded by Brandon Castaneda in 2016, we’ve spent nearly a decade transforming homes across the San Fernando Valley — Granada Hills, Porter Ranch, Northridge, and beyond.
What sets us apart is simple: we manage design and construction together. Most contractors hand you a plan and build it blindly. Most designers create drawings without considering what's buildable. We integrate both from day one — fewer surprises, better results, and a calmer process from your first call to your final walkthrough.

Common Questions
How long does a typical Granada Hills remodel take?
Timeline depends on scope. Bathroom remodels typically run 3 to 4 weeks. Kitchen remodels: 4 to 6 weeks. Full home remodels: 8 to 16 weeks depending on size and complexity. We provide a detailed timeline during your consultation and keep you updated throughout.
Do you handle permits and inspections?
Yes, entirely. We manage all permit applications, coordinate required inspections, and ensure your project meets City of Los Angeles building codes — the same permitting process that covers Granada Hills. We have working relationships with local building departments.
What areas do you serve?
We’re headquartered in Northridge, minutes from Granada Hills, and serve the surrounding San Fernando Valley — including Porter Ranch, Chatsworth, Reseda, and Van Nuys.
How do estimates work?
We start with a free, no-obligation consultation. After visiting your home, we provide a detailed written proposal covering scope, materials, timeline, and pricing. No hidden fees.
What makes Excel Home Builders different from other Granada Hills contractors?
We manage design and construction together. One team accountable for the entire project — not a designer blaming the contractor or a contractor blaming the designer. Every project starts with thoughtful design and ends with precise execution.
Do I need a budget in mind before calling?
Not necessarily. We find it more productive to understand your vision first, then talk through what's realistic. We'll give you honest pricing and work with you to close any gap.

Our Experience in Granada Hills
Granada Hills’ postwar ranch homes and hillside view lots are the housing stock we know best — it’s the same fabric as our own neighborhood. Since 2016 we’ve remodeled kitchens and bathrooms, built ADUs, and completed full remodels across the North Valley, permitted properly through the City of Los Angeles.
02
Why We Work in Granada Hills
Because it’s right next door. Working minutes from our own office means responsive crews, daily site visits, and no lost hours to jobs on the other side of the county. Granada Hills falls under the same City of Los Angeles building department we work with every week, so permits and inspections move without delays.
