What a kitchen remodel costs
A kitchen rebuilt on its existing footprint runs $55,000 to $130,000. Moving the sink, the range or a wall pushes it to $130,000 to $220,000, because plumbing, gas and venting all move with them. Cabinetry and stone are the two lines that swing the number most: a mid-range door and a quartz top cost a fraction of a custom inset face and a book-matched slab. We quote the room in three tiers so you can see exactly what the extra money buys.
The order of the work
Demolition, rough plumbing and electrical, inspection, drywall, cabinets, template, stone, then tile and paint. The stone template is the one appointment nothing can rush: it happens after the cabinets are set, and the slab needs a week to fabricate. A straightforward kitchen takes six to ten weeks. One with a moved wall or a new window takes ten to fourteen. We give you the sequence in writing so you know when your appliances need to be on site.
Ventilation, light and the details that date badly
A real range hood vented to the outside, task lighting over the counters, and outlets where the small appliances actually live, all need to be decided before the drywall closes. We also plan for what the room will hold in ten years: a wider fridge opening, drawers instead of a corner cabinet, and a floor that survives a dropped pan. The result looks calm because the plumbing, gas and light were solved first.

North Hollywood · 1980s kitchen
The same kitchen from the same doorway: oak cabinets and the fluorescent ceiling box gone, a continuous stone counter and slab backsplash under the very same window.
Los Angeles · kitchen remodel
A dated kitchen rebuilt around a new island: custom cabinetry with soft-close doors and pull-out storage, quartz countertops and a herringbone subway backsplash, layered recessed and under-cabinet lighting with pendants over the island, brushed nickel fixtures, stainless appliances and water-resistant plank flooring under light neutral walls.
Los Angeles · grey shaker kitchen
A dated kitchen refinished in place: matte grey Shaker cabinetry with square brass pulls, a patterned grey-and-white tile backsplash run wall to wall, white quartz tops and a brass gooseneck faucet, a stainless over-the-range microwave above the range, three brass pendants over the peninsula and dark wood floors under new recessed lighting.
Whole-home remodel, addition & attached JADU
The main house taken down to the studs and opened up: a new kitchen, dining and living room under one ceiling, an addition for the new bedrooms, a primary bath with a stacked-tile tub and shower, a sage-tiled guest bath with a walk-in shower, a walk-in closet and laundry, the bedrooms, a yoga and gym room, a JADU kitchenette, and a backyard rebuilt as outdoor living: a wood deck, a stock-tank plunge pool, a dining patio under string lights, native planters and a new slat-and-stucco front fence. Light oak cabinetry to the ceiling, quartz tops, gray and sage tile, warm brass and matte black hardware throughout, on wide-plank oak floors.

West Los Angeles · tenant improvement for two apartment units
Two dated apartment units brought up to one modern standard. Each galley kitchen was rebuilt with grey shaker cabinets, white quartz counters with a waterfall end, a white subway-tile backsplash in dark grout, matte black pulls and faucets, and stainless appliances over wide-plank wood flooring. The baths got the same language — a floor-to-ceiling subway surround with a black-framed niche and window, a wood vanity and matte black fixtures — and the living areas were repainted, refloored and fitted with ductless mini-splits, so both units could be rented the same week.
3D design study · Los Angeles
A condo kitchen, built on screen first.
The room was modelled in three dimensions before a cabinet was ordered: every run of cabinetry, counter edge, opening and light placed and checked from inside the space, so the layout was settled while it still cost nothing to change.
