Quick answer: APLA Construction (CA Lic #1136359) is a licensed general contractor serving Los Feliz — character-sensitive renovation and ADU construction for a neighborhood with a significant concentration of historic Spanish Colonial Revival, Craftsman, and Mid-Century Modern homes.
Los Feliz is one of Los Angeles’s most architecturally celebrated neighborhoods — home to Spanish Colonial Revival, Mediterranean, Craftsman, and Mid-Century Modern homes, many of which are classified as contributing structures in historic survey areas. APLA Construction (CA Lic #1136359) works in Los Feliz with a deep understanding of the neighborhood’s architectural heritage, permit requirements, and the character-sensitive renovation work that these homes demand.
Many Los Feliz homes are in survey areas and may require design review for exterior changes. Interior-only remodels are not affected by historic review. APLA identifies any historic or architectural overlay requirements in the pre-design phase and designs projects accordingly.
Los Feliz has both flat residential streets (north of Los Feliz Blvd) and steep hillside properties toward the Griffith Park boundary. Hillside projects require geotechnical and structural engineering. APLA coordinates all required engineering as part of the project scope.
Los Feliz is within the City of Los Angeles. All construction permits go through LADBS. APLA manages all LADBS submissions and inspections for Los Feliz projects.
Yes. Interior remodels have no historic restrictions. Exterior changes (new windows, additions, new structures) may require design review if the property is in a Historic Preservation Overlay Zone (HPOZ). APLA identifies whether HPOZ applies to a given property during the initial assessment.
Yes. Garage conversion ADUs and detached ADUs are both viable in Los Feliz, subject to lot-specific setback and lot coverage rules. APLA performs a free feasibility assessment for every Los Feliz ADU inquiry.

Los Feliz’s Craftsman bungalows, Spanish Colonial Revival estates, and mid-century modern homes are architecturally significant enough that HVAC retrofits need to be planned around preserving that character — ductless mini-splits are almost always the right call for pre-1950s Los Feliz homes that never had central ductwork.
