Gary, Jessie and Crew at Eagle Pride Construction have done a great job on our Master Bedroom and Kitchen Remodel. I had a few ideas of what I wanted and they carefully explained what would and wouldn’t work. For the things that wouldn’t work, they gave me some great ideas to improve upon what I wanted. The quality of the work is great. We are very pleased we chose to go with EPC.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I'm in the process of doing major exterior renovations to my home.  Boxing in the eaves for weather protection and aesthetics, replacing/removing damaged fascia, painting, replacing a storm door and repairing around the window frames.  Gary has the patience of a saint.  He explains the breakdown of the cost and materials involved to do the project.  He shows up and explains the process when I get overwhelmed and am ready to give up.  If you need someone to do the job right the first time and explain the reasons certain construction processes are beneficial compared to other methods, EPC Construction is the way to go.  I am looking forward to the completion of this exterior renovation and know it will be as successful as the kitchen remodeling project they did for me in 2024.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Big thank you to Eagle Pride Construction!  From beginning to end Gary, Jessie, Candy, Chris, Eric and all trades involved were easy to work with, professional, and efficient.  True craftsmen.  The timeline on my project to gut, redesign and remodel a bathroom and lay 3 rooms of wood flooring was done on time with efficiency and precision.  They will definitely be my first and only call when I need additional work done.

Interviewed a number of contractors to handle some major home restorations and EPC had by far the best vision for the project. They handled every aspect of the project, from planning to scheduling and the work itself. That was a huge bonus, since I live out of state and wasn't able to be there regularly. There were no surprises and the quality of their work exceeded my expectations. They did what they said they'd do and when they said they'd do it. Highly recommend their services.

We hired Eagle Pride Construction to remodel two bathrooms, install tile and LVP flooring. We were very happy with the outcome and especially liked working with Jesse! The staff at Tile Co were very helpful too and had a great selection of tile. Overall very impressed and especially liked Gary's 10-year guarantee of his work.

Jesse and Gary were instrumental in helping my wife and I navigate through our construction after a massive water leak destroyed our kitchen.  We would be lost without these guys.  I highly recommend Eagle Pride Construction to everyone.

They were on the ball with coming out quickly to take care of everything with no lag of days waiting in between steps.  Always responsive to our calls. It was such a pleasure working with them. Highly recommend!

Service Areas

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is an over-garage addition and is it right for my home in Ventura County?

An over-garage addition builds new living space above an existing garage, adding square footage without expanding your lot. It’s ideal for master suites, guest bedrooms, above-garage ADUs, or extra living areas while preserving outdoor space.Design build remodeling means one company manages design, engineering, permits, and construction. For Thousand Oaks homeowners, this reduces delays, avoids multiple contracts, and creates a single point of responsibility for quality, budget, and schedule.

2. Can most existing garage structures support a second story addition?

Many garages require structural reinforcement. We assess structural integrity on site, involve a structural engineer when needed, and design appropriate support such as beams, new footings, or shear walls to meet building codes.

3. Do over-garage additions meet local building codes and zoning laws in Ventura County?

Yes. We handle architectural plans, engineering, and permits, confirming setbacks, floor levels, and ADU rules early to ensure compliance and avoid delays.

4. How much living space can I add above a two-car garage?

Typically, the available space matches the garage footprint. A standard two-car garage can yield about 400–800 sq ft, depending on rooflines and local setbacks. Exact calculations are provided during design.

5. Can an addition above the garage include a kitchen, bathroom, or laundry room?

Yes. We extend plumbing and electrical systems to support bathrooms, kitchenettes, or laundry rooms, coordinating utilities during the design phase.

6. Will adding a suite above the garage improve my home’s curb appeal and value?

A well-designed over-garage addition can enhance curb appeal and add valuable square footage. Exterior finishes are selected to integrate the new story with the main house.

7. How long does an above-garage addition project take?

Timelines vary by complexity, permitting, and structural work. Typical projects range from 12–26 weeks from permit approval through final walkthrough. A project schedule is provided during the proposal phase.

8. Do you offer Free Consultations and what comes next after that?

Yes. We offer Free Consultations to discuss goals and feasibility, followed by a verbal estimate and a scheduled site visit for detailed assessment.

9. What about fire safety, insulation, and HVAC for an over-garage suite?

We design to meet fire safety codes, often incorporating fire-resistant materials, proper insulation, air sealing, and HVAC systems for year-round comfort.

10. Do you convert garages into ADUs or build above-garage ADUs?

Yes. We build ADUs and above-garage suites, including in-law suites and rental units where zoning allows, handling all ADU requirements and permits.
