General Contractor & Damage Restoration in Glendale, CA | 1st Choice Construction

In Glendale, monsoon rains and snowmelt from the Verdugo Mountains can cause basement flooding, roof leaks, and foundation seepage. Our process begins with 24/7 emergency response, using industrial pumps and truck-mounted extraction units. We then employ moisture meters and thermal imaging to detect hidden water in walls and subfloors. Structural drying follows with air movers and dehumidifiers. Because Glendale’s older homes may have unique materials like plaster and hardwood, we adjust our drying protocols to prevent warping or mold. We also coordinate with your insurance and provide documentation for claims.

Yes. Many kitchen remodels start with an appliance leak that causes water damage. Our team manages both seamlessly. First, we stop the leak, extract water, and dry the cabinetry and subfloor using IICRC standards. Then, we handle demolition, plumbing, electrical, and full installation – from new cabinets to countertops and fixtures. This single-contractor approach avoids delays and ensures the restoration is built into the remodel. We’ve handled this in Glendale bungalows and newer condos near the Americana at Brand.

Our team manages the entire ADU process from design to final inspection. We handle site evaluation, foundation work, framing, roofing, electrical, plumbing, and finish work including flooring, painting, and cabinetry. Because Glendale has specific zoning and setback requirements, we guide you through permitting and ensure the structure meets local codes. Whether it’s a detached prefab unit in a Chevy Chase Canyon backyard or a custom studio near Kenneth Village, we deliver a livable space that adds long-term value.
