Palos Verdes Estates occupies some of the most beautiful residential land in California — coastal bluffs, sweeping views, and a remarkable collection of 1920s through 1950s homes, many of them architecturally significant. Owning here means stewarding a property with history, on terrain that demands respect.
Bluff-top heritage homes are a multi-trade undertaking by nature. Renovating a 1930s Spanish Colonial or mid-century post-and-beam means structural sensitivity, complete plumbing renewal, and HVAC designed for a large older home — all while honoring the architecture. Mars Construction Industries Corp holds four CSLB classifications in-house — A (General Engineering), B (General Building), C-36 (Plumbing), and C-20 (HVAC) — so one accountable team manages the structure, the pipes, and the air with the care these homes require.
Construction & Remodeling Services in Palos Verdes Estates, CA
Our Palos Verdes Estates work centers on whole-home renovations of older architecturally significant houses: kitchen and primary suite remodels, additions matched to the original design, and complete mechanical renewal behind the walls. Our own C-36 crews perform repipes and sewer work — 911 Drain Lines camera-inspects aging laterals and repairs them trenchlessly where possible, with a 20-year warranty on lining.
The coastal bluff setting shapes our planning. Salt air shortens the service life of exterior HVAC equipment, water heaters, and exposed plumbing, so we discuss placement and protection that help new systems last. Our A (General Engineering) classification keeps structural and site work — drainage, retaining, foundation-adjacent construction — in-house under the same accountability.
For estate-scale properties adding housing, our sister brand ADU Cities has delivered more than 100 accessory dwelling units in four years — detached guest houses and conversions designed to sit gracefully on significant lots, built start to finish by one team.

Why Palos Verdes Estates Property Owners Choose Mars
Bluff-top heritage homes need a contractor that treats the architecture as the client. Here’s our model:
Mars Construction Industries Corp is a general contractor backed by 30+ years of hands-on experience, based in Orange, California. We are licensed, bonded, and insured, holding four CSLB classifications in-house under license #1138550: A (General Engineering), B (General Building), C-36 (Plumbing), and C-20 (HVAC). We are also SB-PW and SB(Micro) certified.
That means one accountable team. Most projects cross trades, and that is where jobs stall — the plumber blames the framer, and you are left managing people who do not work for you. With Mars, the general contractor, the plumbing crew, and the HVAC crew are the same company: one estimate, one schedule, one phone number, and no gaps between trades.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Mars Construction Industries Corp licensed for this work?
Yes. We operate under CSLB license #1138550 with four classifications in-house: A (General Engineering), B (General Building), C-36 (Plumbing), and C-20 (HVAC). We are licensed, bonded, and insured, and we hold SB-PW and SB(Micro) small-business certifications. You can verify any contractor’s license status through the Contractors State License Board before you sign anything — and you should.
Our home has architectural significance. How do you renovate without ruining it?
We treat the architecture as a constraint to design around, not an obstacle. Additions match rooflines, materials, and details; modernization concentrates in plumbing, HVAC, kitchens, baths, and layouts. The home reads as itself — only better behind the walls.
Do you handle structural and drainage work on bluff-area properties?
Our A (General Engineering) classification covers structural and site work, so drainage improvements, retaining, and foundation-adjacent construction stay with our own team under one contract and one accountability.
Does salt air affect our systems more than inland homes?
Yes. Salt air accelerates corrosion on exterior HVAC equipment, water heaters, and exposed plumbing. We plan equipment placement and protection for the coastal environment on every Peninsula project so new systems last as long as designed.
