Frequently Asked Questions
Answers for Los Angeles Homeowners
How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Los Angeles?
Most kitchen remodels in Los Angeles range from about $30,000 for a mid-range refresh to $100,000+ for a high-end renovation that changes the layout. Cabinetry, countertops, appliances, and whether plumbing or walls are relocated are the biggest cost drivers. We provide a fixed, itemized quote after the design phase so there are no surprises.
How long does a kitchen remodel take?
A typical Los Angeles kitchen remodel takes 6 to 10 weeks of on-site work once permits are approved. Custom cabinetry lead times and structural changes such as removing a wall can extend that, which is why we lock the full schedule before demolition begins.
Do I need a permit to remodel my kitchen?
Yes. Any kitchen remodel that involves electrical, plumbing, gas, or structural changes requires a permit from LADBS or your city building department. We handle the entire permitting and inspection process for you as your licensed general contractor.
Can you open up my kitchen to the living room?
In most cases, yes. Removing a non-load-bearing wall is straightforward; if the wall is load-bearing we design an engineered beam to carry the load and pull the proper structural permits. We use 3D renderings so you can approve the open-concept layout before any wall comes down.
Will my kitchen be usable during the remodel?
The kitchen itself will be out of service during construction, but we seal off the work zone to keep dust out of the rest of your home and can help set up a temporary kitchenette. We stage the schedule to minimize the time you are without a working kitchen.
