Cerritos is one of the most stable and sought-after communities in the greater Los Angeles area. It is a city defined by strong homeownership, well-maintained neighborhoods, and a housing stock that presents tremendous opportunity for homeowners looking to invest in their properties.
Whether you're planning a kitchen remodel, a master suite addition, a full home renovation, or an Accessory Dwelling Unit, a thoughtfully designed project can significantly increase both the livability and long-term value of your Cerritos home.
At Sennikoff Architects, we have many residential projects throughout the greater Los Angeles area, including work in nearby Norwalk, Downey, Torrance, and bring deep familiarity with the housing stock, permitting landscape, and neighborhood character of communities like Cerritos to every project we take on.
What Homeowners Are Doing
Much of Cerritos's residential housing was built between the 1960s and 1980s, which was a period that produced solid, well-constructed homes with generous lot sizes but floor plans that often don't reflect the way families live today. Open-concept living spaces, expanded kitchens, primary suite additions, dedicated home offices, and improved indoor-outdoor connections are among the most common remodel goals we hear from homeowners in communities like Cerritos.
Cerritos also has one of the highest rates of multigenerational households in the region. We regularly design remodels that accommodate extended family living. This means that we can reconfigure an existing floor plan, adding a private suite with a separate entrance, or build a detached ADU in the rear yard for a family member who wants proximity without sacrificing privacy.

Home Remodels and Renovations
From targeted single-room updates to comprehensive whole-home renovations, we design remodels that balance your vision with practical and budgetary realities. Every project begins with an honest conversation about what's achievable and what will deliver the best return on your investment.
Home Additions
Whether you need more square footage for a growing family or want to add a primary suite, home office, or expanded living area, we design additions that feel like a natural extension of your existing home — architecturally coherent, properly permitted, and built to last.
Accessory Dwelling Units
Cerritos's generous lot sizes and strong rental market make ADU development a compelling option for many homeowners here. We design custom ADUs in a range of configurations — detached backyard units, garage conversions, and attached additions — tailored to your specific goals.
Why Work With an Architect on Your Cerritos Project
The City of Cerritos has its own zoning codes, setback requirements, and design standards that need to be navigated correctly from the start. Projects that are designed without that knowledge often face costly revisions, permit delays, or resubmittals that set timelines back significantly.
Beyond permitting, the value of good architectural design is tangible in Cerritos's real estate market. Homes that have been thoughtfully remodeled or expanded — with attention to proportion, flow, materials, and how spaces connect — consistently outperform comparable properties at resale.
