Your Trusted General Contractor in Tarzana
Olympia Construction is a licensed general contractor focused on Tarzana homes, from full home remodeling and kitchen or bathroom updates to ADUs, custom homes, and additions. We understand Tarzana’s hillside lots, older ranch homes, and LA City permitting, so your project moves smoothly from first concept to final inspection.
Tarzana is one of the San Fernando Valley’s most desirable neighborhoods, blending hillside architecture with established suburban streets and long-held family homes. Renovation and construction in this area require a contractor who understands not only craftsmanship, but also the terrain, wildfire-zone regulations, and the planning nuances that define this part of Los Angeles. Olympia Construction delivers that level of expertise.
For more than 15 years, we’ve worked throughout Tarzana from the tree-lined streets near Ventura Boulevard to the elevated homes overlooking El Caballero Country Club and the canyon tracts toward Mulholland. Each project begins with a clear understanding of how Tarzana homes are built, how they age, and what they need to reach modern standards of comfort, safety, and long-term value.
Many homes in Tarzana were built between the 1950s and 1980s, with layouts that no longer match today’s lifestyle. Others sit on hillside lots that demand proper engineering, drainage planning, and wildfire-zone compliance. Whether the goal is updating an older residence, improving structural elements, or adding new living space, our focus is always on delivering high-quality construction supported by transparent communication and dependable project management.
As a licensed and insured general contractor, we manage every phase of the process from early planning and local permitting to the completed build. Our team handles structural upgrades, detailed finishes, foundation enhancements, drainage improvements, and full residential construction with the precision Tarzana properties require. Homeowners rely on us because we combine skilled craftsmanship with a deep understanding of the local environment, zoning, and inspection requirements.

We Know Tarzana
Tarzana’s character is defined by its blend of quiet Valley streets, large lots, hillside panoramas, and pockets of luxury development. The neighborhood spans everything from the flatter sections near Ventura Boulevard to the elevated properties around Wells Drive, Braemar Country Club, and El Caballero. These areas frequently require upgrades involving seismic reinforcement, drainage improvements, retaining walls, new layout designs, and complete home reconfigurations.
Construction here often involves updating older estates—some dating back to mid-century with modern finishes, structural reinforcement, improved foundations, and extensive internal reconfiguration. Many Tarzana homeowners renovate to create open-concept layouts, expand living areas, upgrade outdated systems, or add accessory structures and outdoor living features.
