A full kitchen remodel in Los Angeles typically runs $16,520 to $53,100, and the job usually includes design, permits, rough-in work, finishes, and a final LADBS inspection. That number moves based on the age of your house, whether walls come out, and what you pick for cabinets and counters. We’re the Kitchen Remodeling team at Bradford Remodeling, and we serve Los Angeles from our local office. Call (903) 568-7222 to get a written price before any work starts. That’s how we do every job, no exceptions.
Why Bradford Remodeling Is Los Angeles’s Preferred Kitchen Remodeling Company
Los Angeles homeowners deal with a specific kind of kitchen. The housing stock varies wildly: a 1920s bungalow in Silver Lake, a 1960s ranch in the Valley, a 2010 stucco box in West Adams. Each one has different bones. Our crews have worked all of them. We know what LADBS plan check expects, we know which walls in pre-1940s houses are usually load-bearing, and we know how long a change order actually takes in this city.
Curtis Lane runs Bradford Remodeling, and he set the standard: every price in writing, every worker background-checked and uniformed, every completed job backed by the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If our work fails inside that year, we come back and fix it at no charge. Los Angeles homeowners have told us that’s the part that got them to pick up the phone.
We don’t rush a quote. We measure, we pull the plans, we check the LADBS requirements, and then we hand you a number. That number does not move at the door. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, so when you call (903) 568-7222, you get a real answer, not a queue.
Styles & brands we work with
Kitchen Remodeling Contractor in Los Angeles
A Kitchen Remodeling Contractor in Los Angeles handles the whole job: demo, structural work, rough-in plumbing and electrical, drywall, flooring, cabinets, counters, backsplash, and final inspection sign-off. You need one when the project touches walls, plumbing, or wiring. A full remodel here costs $16,520 to $53,100. A small kitchen remodel runs $10,620 to $23,600. We carry the entire scope under one contract, one schedule, one warranty.
Full Remodels and Structural Work
In Los Angeles, removing a wall in an older home often means an engineer’s letter and a plan check at LADBS. We handle that. We pull permits, we coordinate the inspections, and we build the review window into the calendar so you aren’t waiting on surprises.
Small and Partial Kitchen Updates
A partial remodel in a condo near Wilshire or a 1950s kitchen in South LA can run $10,620 to $23,600 when you keep the footprint but replace cabinets, counters, and flooring. We scope it tight and give you a line-item price so you see exactly what you’re paying for.
Kitchen Design in Los Angeles
Kitchen Design in Los Angeles means working around tight lots, older floor plans, and real constraints like where the gas line lands and which direction your windows face. It costs from $16,520 to $53,100 for a full kitchen redesign. We do the layout, the material selections, the cabinet drawings, and the permit set. Then we build it.
Layout and Space Planning
A 1920s Los Angeles kitchen is usually small, closed off, and built around a single wall. Opening it up often requires a load-bearing header and a LADBS revision. We plan for that from day one, not after demo.
Material Selection Without Allowance Shock
We quote Cambria and Caesarstone slabs at a real price, not a lowball allowance. In Los Angeles, that’s where most change orders come from. Our allowed numbers match the materials homeowners actually want. If you upgrade, you know the delta before you sign.
Trusted Brands We Service in Los Angeles
We install KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, Cambria and Caesarstone surfaces, Kohler and Moen fixtures, and Silestone where specified. For Los Angeles homeowners looking at prefab or panelized options, we also work alongside brands like Abodu, Cover, and Dvele when a remodel includes an ADU or a factory-built component. We stock common parts locally and coordinate slab deliveries from local fabricators, which keeps the schedule honest.

AfterCommon Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Los Angeles Homes
- Lath-and-plaster over surprise conditions. In pre-1940s Los Angeles houses, removing drywall often reveals original lath-and-plaster or non-permitted past additions. That forces a plan revision and inspection sign-off before new cabinets can be hung. We build that LADBS review window into every old-home calendar.
- Load-bearing walls with no drawings on file. A common failure mode in older LA homes is assuming a wall is non-load-bearing because a past remodel left no plans. We never assume. We send an engineer when the framing is unclear.
- Countertop allowance shock. Setting a Cambria or Caesarstone allowance too low, then hitting the client with a change order when they pick a slab above it, is a classic LA remodel pitfall. We quote the actual slab price up front, so the change order doesn’t appear later.
- Skipped permits on electrical or plumbing rough-in. In Los Angeles, unpermitted work that wasn’t inspected can surface during a sale and block escrow. We pull LADBS permits for rough-in work and keep the inspection record clean and documented.
Pricing for Kitchen Remodeling in Los Angeles, CA
A full kitchen remodel in Los Angeles runs $16,520 to $53,100. That’s an honest local range based on what we see across the city: a compact galley kitchen in a 1950s condo starts lower, while a full gut in a West Los Angeles single-family house with structural work and premium slabs runs higher. The cost drivers are the size of the kitchen, whether walls move, the brand of cabinets and counters you choose, and the condition of the subfloor and rough-in plumbing. Here is how it breaks down:
| Scope | Los Angeles Price Range |
|---|---|
| Full Kitchen Remodel | $16,520 – $53,100 |
| Small Kitchen Remodel | $10,620 – $23,600 |

FAQs About Kitchen Remodeling in Los Angeles
Yes, if you’re moving plumbing, altering electrical, or changing any wall that could be load-bearing, Los Angeles requires LADBS permits. We pull them, we schedule the inspections, and we carry the sign-off paperwork through final. Call (903) 568-7222 to get clear on what your specific kitchen needs.
A full kitchen remodel in Los Angeles runs $16,520 to $53,100. A small kitchen remodel runs $10,620 to $23,600. The exact number depends on whether you move walls, what cabinets and counters you pick, and what we find behind the drywall.

Most full kitchen remodels in Los Angeles take 6 to 10 weeks from demo to final inspection. The LADBS plan check window alone can add several weeks if we’re moving or removing walls, which is why our calendar includes it from the start. We don’t promise a fast start that the city won’t allow.
We handle it. In a 1920s bungalow off Sunset Boulevard in Silver Lake, we pulled out a wall between the kitchen and breakfast nook and found it was load-bearing. Our general contractor added a header and re-sequenced the rough-in while LADBS signed off on the revised plans. The original subfloor was out of level by almost two inches, so we floated it before setting KraftMaid cabinets and a Silestone countertop. The final punch list cleared in one walkthrough with the homeowner. That’s how we work in Los Angeles.
Yes. We carry general contracting, kitchen design, cabinetry, counters, tile, plumbing, electrical, and finish carpentry under one contract. One schedule, one point of contact, one written warranty. Call (903) 568-7222 to schedule your free estimate.
