Sage n' Slate designs and builds custom home remodels, additions, ADUs, and ground-up homes in Lakewood, Los Angeles.
Overview
Home remodeling in Lakewood
Sage n' Slate is a senior-led design-build firm working throughout Lakewood and the surrounding Lakewood area. The neighborhood is defined by post-war ranches and mid-century tract homes on quiet residential streets, and our work respects that context — we remodel and build homes that read as if they were always meant to be there. We cover ZIP codes 90712, 90713, 90715 and pull permits through City of Lakewood.

Process
How a project runs
Every Lakewood engagement follows the same disciplined sequence.
Discovery
a no-cost site walk and conversation about how you actually live in the home.
Design
drawings, materials, and a transparent line-item budget developed together.
Build
senior trades on site, weekly client check-ins, and a single point of accountability.
Walk-through
a punch-list closeout, written warranty, and a clean handoff of the finished home.
Craft
We build with materials that hold up for decades — rift-cut oak, honed stone, hand-troweled plaster, unlacquered brass. The detailing is what makes a Lakewood remodel feel quietly resolved rather than newly built.
Permits
City of Lakewood permits and code
