Which kitchen remodel fits your home?
Start with what you want to change. You do not need finished plans to ask for an estimate.
| Project direction | A good fit when | What to discuss at the visit |
|---|---|---|
| Refresh the existing layout | The room works, but its cabinets, counters or finishes need updating. | Which cabinets stay, which surfaces change, and whether appliances stay in place. |
| Replace the kitchen, keep the footprint | You want new cabinetry, counters, lighting and appliances without relocating the room. | Cabinet measurements, appliance specifications, storage needs and the condition of existing systems. |
| Change the layout or open the room | You want an island, a different working layout or a connection to the living space. | Wall structure, new utility locations, design requirements and the work needed beyond the kitchen. |
Our kitchen remodeling prices start at $20,000. These are planning options, not fixed-price packages. The starting price does not include every option shown. Your estimate identifies the selected work, materials, allowances and exclusions.

Kitchen remodels with cabinets from our own shop.
A kitchen has more trades in it than any other room. Demo, framing, rough plumbing and electrical, gas, drywall, tile, cabinets, countertops and appliances all have to happen in the right order. On a lot of jobs the drawings come from one company, the cabinets come from a factory and the contractor installs whatever shows up. If a measurement is off, cabinets get reordered and the job sits.
We handle the whole job. Our crew plans the layout with you, shows it to you in 3D, builds the custom cabinets in our own shop and does the construction. One fixed-price contract covers planning, cabinets, countertops, electrical, plumbing, lighting and finish work, with a written schedule. We start building your cabinets while the permit is in review, so there's no factory wait after demo. Your project manager sends you a written update every week.

Kitchen cabinets built in our shop and installed by our crew.
What we build
Layouts, cabinets, counters and appliances.
Layouts
Opening the kitchen to the living room, adding an island or two, reworking a galley, swapping a peninsula for an island, adding a walk-in or butler's pantry. If the better layout means moving a wall, we handle the engineering and the permit for that too.
Cabinetry
Fully custom cabinets from our own shop. Flat-panel or shaker doors, oak and walnut veneers, painted finishes and integrated handles. We size the drawers and interiors around what you actually keep in them.
Countertops & surfaces
Quartz, porcelain slab, natural stone and butcher block. We template the counters after the cabinets are set, so seams and overhangs land where the drawings show them.
Appliances & systems
Panel-ready appliances, pro ranges and hoods, layered lighting, dedicated circuits and water lines. We plan all of it before demo so nothing gets figured out halfway through the job.
Choosing
Countertops and cabinets: how the options compare.
What each choice is good for, what to watch, and whether it touches the schedule or the permit. We go through these with samples in hand at the design stage.
| Option | Best for | Watch out for | Effect on schedule and permit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Quartz counters | Busy kitchens, a uniform look and easy care. | Hot pans straight from the stove can mark it, and seams show more on long runs. | Templated after the cabinets are set; no effect on the permit. |
| Porcelain slab counters | Thin profiles, full-height slab backsplashes and heat resistance. | Edge chips are hard to repair, and the slab needs a fabricator set up for large formats. | Fabricator lead time after templating; no effect on the permit. |
| Natural stone counters | Marble, quartzite or granite where the pattern is the point. | Marble etches and stains, and most stone needs periodic sealing. Slabs are chosen one by one at the yard. | Slab selection adds a step before templating; no effect on the permit. |
| Butcher block counters | Islands and prep zones, warmth next to stone or quartz. | Needs oiling and care around the sink. Scratches and marks become part of the look. | Can be cut and fitted on site; no effect on the permit. |
| Stock cabinets | Tight budgets and simple layouts where the sizes happen to fit. | Set sizes mean filler strips at walls and corners, and door styles and interiors are limited. | Quick to order if in stock; no effect on the permit. |
| Semi-custom cabinets | A wider finish and door selection when the layout is standard. | Sizes still move in set steps, and a factory lead time follows the order. | Ordered after design approval, with a factory wait before install; no effect on the permit. |
| Custom cabinets from our shop | Walls that are not square, odd heights, panel-ready appliances and storage planned around what you keep. | Shop drawings have to be approved before anything is cut, so the decisions come early. | Built while the permit is in review, so there is no factory wait after demo; no effect on the permit. |
| Frameless boxes | A flush, modern front and the widest drawer openings. | Needs a level, plumb installation, because the doors show every bit of misalignment. | No effect on the schedule or the permit. |
| Face-frame boxes | Inset doors and traditional or period kitchens. | The frame takes a little drawer width and interior space. | No effect on the schedule or the permit. |
| Plywood boxes | Sink bases and anywhere moisture is likely. | Heavier, and the edges need finishing. | No effect on the schedule or the permit. |
| MDF boxes | Painted finishes, flat panels and a stable, smooth surface. | Swells if water gets in, so the sink base is a poor place for it. | No effect on the schedule or the permit. |
| Painted doors | Any color, and a clean look on shaker and flat panels. | Hairline lines can show at wood joints as the house moves through the seasons, and touch-ups need the same spray finish. | Spray-booth finishing time in the shop; no effect on the permit. |
| Veneer doors | Showing the grain, matched across a run of doors. | Edges and corners wear first, and a repair means refinishing a panel rather than a touch-up. | Grain matching adds shop time; no effect on the permit. |
No prices in this table: your written estimate prices the options you pick. Nothing is ordered until you approve the drawings.

How it works
How your project runs.
Same five steps on every job, written down and shared with you before demo day.
See the full process →-
01
Free estimate visit
We come out, measure, look at the existing plumbing and wiring, and talk about what you want and what it should cost.
-
02
Plan & design
We draw the layout, help you pick materials and show it in 3D, so you know exactly what you're getting before anything is ordered.
-
03
Fixed price & permits
You get a written contract with a fixed price and schedule. We file the permits, and your cabinets go into production in our shop at the same time.
-
04
Construction
Your project manager runs the job, sends a written update every week and keeps the house protected and the site clean.
-
05
Walkthrough & warranty
We walk every room with you, finish the punch list and hand you a written 2-year workmanship warranty.
Written contract
One fixed price, written down before demo.
Your contract lists the scope line by line, with allowances for anything you have not picked yet and the exclusions named. The price changes only if you change the scope, and then only through a change order you sign before the extra work starts.
Payments follow the schedule in the contract: a deposit capped by California law, then progress payments tied to completed stages, each with a lien release. Nothing is billed ahead of the work.
- Scope
- Every line item written out: demolition, each trade, cabinets, counters, finishes and cleanup.
- Allowances
- Listed line by line for anything you have not picked yet, such as tile or a faucet. The difference is settled in writing.
- Exclusions
- Named in the contract, so nothing is assumed on either side.
- Change orders
- Only in writing, signed before any extra work starts, with the change in price and schedule.
- Payment schedule
- Follows B&P 7159.5: the deposit is capped at $1,000 or 10% of the contract price, whichever is less, and each later payment is tied to completed work.
- Lien releases
- Provided with each payment, so no supplier or trade can claim against your home.
Inspections
Which inspections happen, and when.
What the city checks at each stage of a permitted kitchen remodel, and what it looks like from your side of the dust wall.
| Stage | What the inspector checks | What you notice at home |
|---|---|---|
| Groundwork (only if drains move) | New drain and supply lines under the slab or in the trench, before they are covered. | An open slab cut or trench for a short while. Nothing is closed until the inspector signs. |
| Rough | Framing, rough plumbing, gas and electrical with the walls still open. | The walls stay open after the trades finish. Drywall starts after the sign-off. |
| Final | Fixtures, outlets, ventilation and the finished work against the approved permit. | The permit is closed. You get the inspection record with your warranty paperwork. |
Sources: LADBS Homeowners Guide to Permits and Inspections (groundwork, rough and final inspections; work is inspected before it is covered). Burbank, Glendale, Pasadena, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Culver City and Calabasas inspect under their own departments, and we confirm the sequence for your address before work starts.
Permits & rules
Kitchen remodel permits in Los Angeles.
Whether your kitchen remodel needs a permit, and which kind, depends on where you live and what changes. Here is how it works in Los Angeles. We confirm the exact path for your address before your estimate is final.
City of Los Angeles (LADBS)
- No structural changes: a residential kitchen remodel without structural changes is on LADBS's Express Permit list, so there is no plan check. Replacing plumbing fixtures and rewiring on existing circuits are on the list too.
- Walls or openings change: the online combined permit excludes changes to walls or openings. Those go to counter plan check with existing and proposed floor plans.
- Inspection: permitted work is inspected before walls are closed and at final.
Cities with their own building departments
Burbank, Glendale, Pasadena, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Culver City and Calabasas each issue their own permits, with their own rules and timelines. See your area page for local specifics.
California water-efficiency rules
- Homes built in 1994 or earlier: under SB 407 (Civil Code §1101.1 et seq.), a permitted remodel requires replacing non-compliant plumbing fixtures before final inspection. That means toilets over 1.6 gpf, showerheads over 2.5 gpm and faucets over 2.2 gpm.
- New fixtures must meet CALGreen maximums:
- toilets: 1.28 gallons per flush;
- showerheads: 1.8 gpm;
- bathroom faucets: 1.2 gpm;
- kitchen faucets: 1.8 gpm.
Your deposit is capped by law
For home improvement contracts in California, the down payment may not exceed $1,000 or 10% of the contract price, whichever is less (Business & Professions Code §7159.5). Our contracts follow that rule.

Cost
What a kitchen remodel costs in Los Angeles.
Our kitchen remodeling prices start at $20,000. Your price depends on your scope, and a citywide average won't tell you much. We'll give you a range, then a fixed price after the visit and the 3D design, written into your contract before work starts.

Every project is different, so we don't use a price list. Tell us about yours and we'll give you a range that fits your home. It's free and takes about two minutes.
- A realistic range for your specific scope
- What will move your number up or down
- A first range from your answers, before any visit
What drives the cost.
- Layout changesMoving plumbing, gas lines or walls adds engineering, permits and trade work. Keeping the sink and range where they are saves the most money.
- Cabinetry scopeCabinets are usually the biggest line item. We build ours in-house, so there's no dealer markup on a factory order.
- Countertop materialQuartz and porcelain are mid-range. Exotic natural stone and full-height slab backsplashes cost more.
- AppliancesA standard appliance package and a pro-grade, panel-ready package can be tens of thousands of dollars apart. We plan around the level you pick.
- Structure & systemsOlder LA homes often need an electrical panel upgrade or new water lines. We check for this during planning and price it up front so it doesn't come up mid-project.

Glossary
Words you will hear on a kitchen remodel.
The terms in your estimate, your contract and your inspection card, in plain words.
| Term | What it means |
|---|---|
| Allowance | A budget line in the contract for an item you have not picked yet, such as tile or a faucet. If your choice costs more or less, the difference is settled in writing. |
| Change order | A written agreement, signed before any extra work starts, that states the change in scope, price and schedule. |
| Plan check | LADBS review of the drawings before a permit is issued. Needed when walls or openings change, so it does not apply to work on the Express Permit list. |
| Express Permit | An LADBS permit issued without plan check for the work on its Express Permit list, including a kitchen or bathroom remodel with no structural changes. |
| Template | A full-size pattern of the countertops taken after the cabinets are set, so seams, overhangs and cut-outs land where the drawings show them. |
| Scribe | Trimming a cabinet side or panel to follow a wall that is not straight, so the joint closes without a filler. |
| Filler strip | A plain strip used to close the gap between a stock cabinet and the wall. Cabinets built to measure do not need one. |
| Frameless vs. face-frame | Frameless cabinets hang the doors directly on the box, which gives wider openings and a flush look. Face-frame cabinets add a wood frame to the front, which suits inset doors and traditional kitchens. |
Sources: LADBS Express Permits bulletin P/GI 2026-003. The other terms are trade usage as we apply it on our jobs.
