01 — About
Woodland Hills'sDesign-ForwardHome Builder
Excel Home Builders is a licensed, locally-owned home building and remodeling company serving Woodland Hills from our headquarters in Northridge. Founded by Brandon Castaneda in 2016, we’ve spent nearly a decade transforming homes across the San Fernando Valley — Woodland Hills, Tarzana, Canoga Park, 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 Woodland 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 Woodland Hills. We have working relationships with local building departments.
What areas do you serve?
We’re headquartered in Northridge, a short drive from Woodland Hills, and serve the surrounding San Fernando Valley — including Canoga Park, Tarzana, Encino, Reseda, and Chatsworth.
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 Woodland 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.

Your Home Builderin Woodland Hills
Homeowners searching for a home builder in Woodland Hills will find our crews already nearby — Excel Home Builders is headquartered in Northridge, a short drive up Topanga Canyon. We serve the West Valley as home territory: same crews, same daily oversight, same standards we hold on our own street.
01
Our Experience in Woodland Hills
Woodland Hills spans everything from postwar ranch homes to hillside properties south of the Boulevard — and each asks something different of a builder. Since 2016 we’ve handled kitchens, bathrooms, ADUs, and full remodels across the West Valley, and we know what the City of Los Angeles requires to permit each of them properly.
02
Why We Work in Woodland Hills
Because the West Valley is our backyard. Working a short drive from our own office means responsive crews, regular site presence, and no lost hours to jobs on the other side of the county. Woodland Hills falls under the same City of Los Angeles building department we work with every week, so permits and inspections keep moving.
03

As a licensed general contractor (CSLB #1131444) headquartered in the Valley, we treat Woodland Hills homeowners as neighbors — because they are. Free on-site estimates, one accountable design-build team, and a finished product built to the same precision standard as the projects in our portfolio.
