GREEN VALLEY CUSTOM HOME BUILDER & GENERAL CONTRACTOR
Built With Intention. Mountain Edge, Fire Ready.
GREEN VALLEY HOMES ARE BUILT DIFFERENTLY
Heart Construction is a general contractor serving Green Valley, specializing in custom homes, full renovations, and fire-hardened rebuilds for foothill properties. We work with homeowners, architects, engineers and designers through organized pre-construction, transparent budgeting and steady execution, so a remote parcel never means a remote builder.
Building in Green Valley isn't simple.
Your project is reviewed by Los Angeles County Public Works, not a city, and the defining condition is wildfire. New homes and additions here follow the county's wildland-urban interface standards, including Class A roofing and ignition-resistant materials, and we design to that specification from day one.
The Green Valley Community Standards District, septic capacity and access along roads like Spunky Canyon Road stack on top of that. Checking each early keeps the schedule steady.
We guide you through each county review in a clear order, so decisions feel informed, not reactive.
Around the Green Valley Community Club, we see fire-hardened rebuilds, full-home remodels and additions, and ADUs with outdoor living. Wherever you build, we bring the same structure and discipline we apply across the Northwest County and every project in Los Angeles.

What to Know Before
You Build in Green Valley
Multi-agency county review and remote access set the pace in Green Valley. Los Angeles County Public Works handles plan check, and routine permits take 3–6 months; with hillside, fire-zone or septic review, expect 6–12 months. Construction of a custom home runs 10–16 months. The lever that most protects your schedule is front-loading feasibility, septic and fire review before design is locked.
What It Costs
Remote access, wildland-urban interface rated materials, and septic and site work push costs above in-city comparables, and long mountain drives add to logistics. Custom homes typically run $500–$750+ per sq ft; whole-home renovations $325–$600+ per sq ft; detached ADUs $250,000–$450,000+; pools $120,000–$300,000+. Soft costs — design, geotechnical and septic studies, permits — are additional. You receive a line-by-line budget before construction begins.
Permits, Rules & Fire Codes
Los Angeles County Public Works issues your permit through the Santa Clarita district office. The Green Valley Community Standards District, Class A roofing rules and septic review define most projects here. Fire-zone construction standards and residential sprinklers are our base specification, not upgrades. We sequence these reviews as one owner-facing plan from feasibility, so design decisions are made with the constraints known.
Where We Build in Green Valley
We build in San Francisquito Canyon and across the foothill parcels near Craig Spring. San Francisquito Canyon brings creek and fire-access issues that shape engineering and approvals, while open parcels along Spunky Canyon Road more often turn on septic capacity and long access runs. Not sure which rules apply to your parcel? A feasibility review answers that in two to four weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Renovation in Green Valley
Who issues my permit here?
Los Angeles County Public Works issues building permits for Green Valley, through the Santa Clarita district office. The Green Valley Community Standards District, Title 22, Chapter 22.354, applies on top of rural zoning for new homes, additions and accessory structures. Zoning review follows the Antelope Valley Area Plan, not the Santa Clarita Valley plan.
How long is county plan check?
Routine plan check runs 3–6 months. Hillside, fire-zone or septic review can stretch that to 6–12 months. Remote access and multi-agency review set the pace, so we front-load feasibility, septic and fire review. A complete first submission avoids the resubmittals that cost the most, as our custom home build timeline guide explains.
Cost to build a home here?
Custom homes typically run $500–$750+ per sq ft. Remote access, wildfire-rated materials and septic and site work push projects toward the upper end. Soft costs — design, geotechnical and septic studies, permits — are additional. You receive a line-by-line budget before construction begins.
What does a fire zone require?
New homes and additions need Class A roofing under the county's 2026 Building Code, which adopts the 2025 California Wildland-Urban Interface Code. Chapter 7A ignition-resistant materials and defensible space apply as well. We design to that specification from day one, and the budget shows those items line by line.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Heart Construction holds California Contractors State License Board license #1146456 and is bonded and insured for large-scale residential construction, major remodels and structural work. You can verify the license on the CSLB website.
