DisciplineGeneral contracting
& in-house trades

LicenseCA Class B
Atlas Home Builders, Inc.

A general contractor's capability set, not a consumer-services menu. Every trade below is run on the same schedule, to the same standard, by the same principal who walks the job.

I.

General Contracting.

The discipline that ties the other six together.

Ground-up multifamily, gut renovations, adaptive reuse, and structural retrofit. Class B licensed, self-performed where the math supports it, managed from the principal's desk either way.

We bid the whole job, or we sit as the construction manager on yours.

  • Ground-up multifamily
  • Condominium conversion
  • Gut renovation & adaptive reuse
  • Structural retrofit (soft-story, seismic)
  • Owner's-rep & CM
II.

HVAC.

Design-build mechanical for multifamily and luxury residential.

From load calc to start-up. Title-24 compliant, balanced on delivery, and documented in a closeout binder an operator can actually use five years later.

  • Central systems & mini-splits
  • Heat-pump conversions
  • Ventilation & IAQ
  • Title-24 compliance packages
  • Rooftop & mechanical-room retrofits
III.

Plumbing.

Rough-in through fixture set. Repipes that stay quiet.

Water services, gas, drain and vent, and the full-building repipes that keep older LA stock habitable. We open walls cleanly and close them cleanlier.

  • Full-building repipes (copper & PEX)
  • Water-service upgrades
  • Gas lines & appliance hookups
  • Drain, waste & vent
  • Trenchless sewer
IV.

Electrical.

Service upgrades, sub-metering, EV, low-voltage.

The unglamorous infrastructure work that makes a building worth holding. We pull our own permits, we know the inspectors, and we document the panel as we leave it.

  • Service & panel upgrades
  • Unit sub-metering
  • EV infrastructure (Level 2 / DCFC)
  • Lighting design & control
  • Low-voltage / structured cabling
V.

Painting.

Interior, exterior, cabinet, architectural finish.

Prep is the job; paint is the finish. We budget for the first, we charge for the second. The sequence matters more than the product sheet.

  • Interior & exterior
  • Cabinet refinishing (spray-booth)
  • Architectural finish coatings
  • Surface prep & substrate repair
  • Elastomeric & water-proofing
VI.

Water Restoration.

Mitigation, drying, rebuild, to IICRC protocol.

When a unit floods at 2 a.m., you do not want three phone numbers. You want the GC, the plumber, and the restoration crew all on one invoice, on one schedule, the same morning.

  • Emergency mitigation & extraction
  • Structural drying & dehumidification
  • Category 1-3 water losses
  • Mold remediation
  • Full rebuild & documentation
VII.

Gates & Garage Doors.

Perimeter, access, automation.

Security infrastructure and daily-use hardware treated as one system. Motors, openers, hinges, and the logic that ties them into access control.

  • Automated sliding & swing gates
  • Garage doors & opener service
  • Motor replacement & retrofit
  • Access control & keypad integration
  • Perimeter security hardware
§ How we work

A four-step sequence, the same every job.

Step · 01

Walk.

The principal visits the property before the first document is drafted. No exceptions. If the math won't support a walk, the math won't support the job.

Step · 02

Scope & schedule.

A written scope, a written schedule, and a written allowance. Change orders get their own sheet, on day one, for the inevitable.

Step · 03

Build.

Self-performed or subcontracted, run through a single project manager, with weekly field notes that the owner actually reads.

Step · 04

Close out.

A closeout binder an operator can pick up five years from now: permits, specs, warranties, as-builts. The building is only half the deliverable.
