A licensed, women-led general contractor for home additions, kitchens and full remodels on Lake Sherwood's estate and hillside properties.
Lake Sherwood is a private, guard-gated community in unincorporated Ventura County, just west of Westlake Village and tucked into the Santa Monica Mountains. It has roughly 660 homes, organized around a private lake, the Sherwood Country Club and several gated neighborhoods. Hilltop estates, lakeside homes and custom builds sit side by side, and the setting does a lot of the talking.
Projects here are different from what most contractors see. Many owners aren't looking to simply refresh a house, they want to extend it. A home addition in Lake Sherwood might mean a new primary wing, a guest suite, a larger kitchen that opens onto a terrace, a studio, or a second structure on the property. Plans must respect the slopes, views and sensitive landscape around them.
Girl Flip Construction is a licensed, women-led, family-owned general contractor. We build additions, ADUs, kitchens, bathrooms and complete home remodels. If you are weighing home remodeling in Lake Sherwood, we are glad to begin with a free discovery call and a visit to the property.

Explore →Properties here range from lakeside homes to large custom estates on sloped lots. Hillsides bring real engineering: retaining walls, foundations designed for slope, drainage plans, and carefully planned access for equipment and materials. Narrow private roads can complicate deliveries, so logistics are part of the early planning.
A home addition in Lake Sherwood usually works best when it is designed with the existing structure and the view in mind. We look at where framing can be tied in, how mechanical systems will be extended, and how new rooms will connect to the house you already have.
Kitchen and primary suite upgrades often accompany an addition. When the footprint grows, it makes sense to rework the kitchen at the same time rather than disrupt the house twice.
Lake Sherwood is unincorporated, so building permits come from the Ventura County Resource Management Agency. Some projects here also need planning permits. County records show Planned Development permits for homes and accessory dwelling units within the Scenic Resource Protection overlay, which suggests added review for larger or more visible work.
On top of the county, the Lake Sherwood Estates Association has an Architectural Controls Committee that publishes building rules and requirements. Design approval at the community level is part of the process, and we plan for it rather than treat it as an afterthought.
Fire and hillside considerations matter too. Properties in the Santa Monica Mountains can be subject to fire-safety construction standards, and we review them during design. Our preconstruction package covers plans, structural engineering, energy compliance and permit processing.
It begins with a free discovery call, followed by a walkthrough at the property. On a hillside estate, we want to see the site, the existing structure, and the route materials will take through the gates.
Then you receive a scope and written estimate. Cost and schedule depend on project size, county and association review, and lead times for custom windows, cabinetry and other materials. We don't guess at them ahead of the walkthrough.
Once you approve, we build. Erica oversees construction as the general contractor, while Beth manages sales and operations. A final walkthrough closes out the job.
