— About Your LA
ADU Contractor

Pavel founded Skalwest in 2025 with a clear goal: to deliver dependable, high-quality construction with a more personal, hands-on approach. While building Skalwest, he has continued assisting on multiple projects outside the company, gaining valuable exposure to diverse builds, methods, and challenges. This ongoing, real-world experience continues to sharpen his expertise and strengthens the knowledge he brings to every Skalwest project.

PAVEL SKALNIK | GENERAL CONTRACTOR

Hi, my name is Pavel Skalnik and I run Skalwest Construction here in Los Angeles. I always say that I didn’t find construction — construction found me. When I first arrived in the United States, I was determined to give my full effort to whatever came my way. I started off as a hands-on builder and from day one, I was eager to learn, grow, and take pride in every task I took on.

What started as hands-on work quickly became something more — a true passion for building. I discovered that construction isn’t just about tools and materials; it’s about precision, problem-solving, and creating something meaningful from the ground up. To me, every project is a form of craftsmanship, and I treat it that way.

I take pride in delivering high-quality work with a personal approach. I’m involved in every stage of the project, from initial planning and permits to the final walkthrough, ensuring your vision is brought to life with care and precision. With years of experience and hundreds of successful projects completed, I’ve built a strong reputation in Los Angeles as a reliable and detail-oriented general contractor. Now, let’s bring your project to life, the right way.
