Our Projects: Before, During and After

Real jobs, photographed by our own crews as they happened. Every project below was designed, permitted and built by Green Design and Build across Los Angeles, Orange, Ventura, western Riverside and western San Bernardino counties. Names and addresses are left out for the homeowners’ privacy; the cities are real.

Use these to see how we work at each stage, from demolition through rough plumbing and framing to the finished room. If you are planning something similar, the page for each project links to the matching service and the area we did it in.
