Overview
Home remodeling in Mar Vista
Sage n' Slate is a senior-led design-build firm working throughout Mar Vista and the surrounding Los Angeles area. The neighborhood is defined by post-war bungalows and mid-century homes a few miles from the coast, 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 code 90066 and pull permits through City of Los Angeles.

Process
How a project runs
Every Mar Vista 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 Mar Vista remodel feel quietly resolved rather than newly built.
Permits
