Beverly Hills Homes, Reworked for How You Live Now.
Designed, sourced & built under one roof.
Six subdivisions platted in the 1960s, a median house built in 1955, and a lot of families who love the street and have outgrown the floor plan. Most of our Beverly Hills work is exactly that, opening up a well-built postwar house rather than leaving it.

Good bones, dated floor plan. That's most of this village.
Beverly Hills was incorporated as Westwood in 1958 and built out mostly between the 1960s and 1980. Nottingham, Metamora, Georgetown, Ronsdale, Westwood and Sturbridge came first, with Williamsburg Row following in the 1970s. Colonial Revival dominates, with substantial mid-century modern, brick ranch and Tudor alongside it.
Lot sizes swing hard across the village. East of Southfield Road they run 6,000 to 15,000 square feet; between Southfield and Evergreen, 12,000 to 20,000; west of Evergreen toward the Rouge River, anywhere from 16,000 square feet up to multiple acres. That single fact drives what is possible on any given address.
The Village's own Master Plan observes that owners here increasingly prefer major renovation or demolition over moving. That is the market we work in.

Remodeling a Beverly Hills Home: What to Expect
01
Midcentury homes are ready for a new layout
Most Beverly Hills homes are ranches and colonials built in the middle of the last century, set on large, wooded lots. They're well built, but the kitchens are often closed off, the baths are small and the basements are underused. Opening a wall, reworking a bath or finishing the lower level is where these homes gain the most.
02
The Village runs its own permits
Beverly Hills is a village with its own building department. Moving plumbing, adding a bath, rewiring a kitchen or finishing a basement means building and trade permits through the Village. We pull every permit and schedule every inspection for you.
03
Design comes first
Every project starts with one to three months of design development. We settle layout, cabinetry, finishes and pricing before demolition starts, so the schedule and budget hold once work begins.
04
Your home stays livable
Most of our clients live at home during construction. We protect your floors, seal the work area for dust, run negative air and clean up every day. You also get a written update every week.
05
One team from start to finish
Every trade except plumbing, electrical and HVAC is Maxwell's own crew, and our licensed partners handle those three. Your designer and project manager stay with you from the first sketch to the final walkthrough, and the work is backed by a five year workmanship warranty. You can see how this looks in a Beverly Hills home in The Entertainer, completed in 2026.
Requirements change and figures vary by zoning district. Confirm current specifics with the Village of Beverly Hills Building Department before relying on any of the above.

straight answer
The lot decides how big the addition gets.
Beverly Hills caps building coverage at 25 percent on most residential lots, and requires 40 feet front and rear. On a 14,000 square foot lot with a house and attached garage already in place, the room left for an addition is often smaller than people expect.
There are two honest routes when the numbers are tight: the low impact design bonus, which can buy back up to 5 percent of coverage in exchange for a real stormwater plan, or the Zoning Board of Appeals. We will tell you which one your project needs at the design stage, with the survey in front of us.
We don't reface cabinets and we don't paint them. We're the right fit when the house is worth reworking properly.

Beverly Hills FAQ
How long does a kitchen or bathroom remodel take in Beverly Hills?
Most projects take 14 to 16 weeks of construction after one to three months of design. A single bathroom often takes less time. A kitchen where we open walls or change the layout takes longer.
Do I need a permit to remodel in the Village of Beverly Hills?
Yes, if the work touches plumbing, electrical, mechanical or structure. Cosmetic updates may not need one. We handle every Village permit and inspection as part of the project.
Can you open up the kitchen in my ranch or colonial?
Often, yes. Many walls between the kitchen and living spaces in these homes can be removed or opened with a properly sized beam. We confirm what the wall carries during design, before you commit to a layout.
Can we live in the house while you remodel?
Usually, yes. We seal off the work area, control dust and clean up daily. For a kitchen remodel we help you set up a temporary kitchen so daily life keeps going.
What does it take to finish a basement in Beverly Hills?
Any basement bedroom needs a legal exit, called egress. You also need moisture control and permitted electrical, plumbing and mechanical work. We check walls, floors and ceiling height during design so the finished space feels like part of the house.
Do you provide interior design and cabinetry?
Yes. Our design team handles layout, finishes, lighting and fixtures, and we build with Dura Supreme cabinetry in the framed Crestwood and frameless Bria lines. You work with one team from design through installation.
