The housing stock
A city planned as villages
The Irvine Company began building on the old Irvine Ranch in the 1960s, from a master plan by William Pereira organized into villages, each with its own schools, parks and shops. The first villages, Turtle Rock, University Park and Westpark among them, were done by 1970, and Irvine incorporated on December 28, 1971.
Building has never really stopped, so an Irvine house can be fifty years old or five. The older villages are where most remodels happen: kitchens and bathrooms from the 1970s and 1980s, almost always inside an HOA.

Permits and license
Who pulls the permit
- The city reviews it. A remodel in Irvine that moves plumbing, electrical or a wall needs a building permit from the city. We say at the estimate if your job needs one, and we pull it.
- The association may review it too. Most neighborhoods here have an HOA with its own architectural rules. Exterior changes, and in condos often interior plumbing and flooring, go to the association before the city.
- The license is ours to hold. New Horizon Repair Services holds California CSLB License #1151716, Class B General Building. You can look it up on the CSLB site before you sign anything, and you should.
- The scope is written before work starts. You get the estimate in writing, and work starts when you approve it.
