Remodeling Company in Del Aire, CA
Home remodeling in Del Aire, CA typically runs $14,000 to $45,000 for a kitchen and $9,000 to $28,000 for a bathroom, depending on layout, cabinet line, and countertop material. The homes here are mostly single-family builds from the 1950s and 1960s, so most projects involve more than new finishes. We regularly open up walls in Del Aire and find original galvanized plumbing, outdated wiring, or framing that needs attention before new work can go in. That’s the honest starting point. Call Penhallow Remodeling at (213) 277-6578 for a free estimate, and we’ll walk you through what your house actually needs.
Why Del Aire Homes Are Different
Del Aire sits in an unusual spot: unincorporated Los Angeles County, surrounded by incorporated cities like Hawthorne and El Segundo. That changes the permitting path for nearly every remodel. The county contracts out many services to neighboring cities, so the office that issues your building permit may not be the same one that does your inspection. We work through that process on every Del Aire job, and we pull permits when the scope requires them. The second big factor is the age of the housing stock. Most homes went up between 1950 and 1970, and many still carry original galvanized steel supply lines. Those pipes corrode from the inside out, and once you open a wall for new cabinetry or tile, it’s common to find a section that needs replacing. The mild coastal climate means we can schedule work year-round without major weather delays. But this is also earthquake country. Del Aire sits close to the Newport-Inglewood fault zone, so seismic retrofitting bolts and straps are worth discussing while walls are open anyway, since the incremental cost is small compared to doing it later.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Del Aire Services
Del Aire homeowners most often call us for two things: a full project run by one general contractor who handles every trade, and a kitchen or bathroom refresh in a 1950s home that needs more than cosmetic work. Here’s what those look like.
General Contractor in Del Aire
A general contractor in Del Aire coordinates the trades, the county permits, and the schedule. Because this community is unincorporated, there are two different inspection authorities involved depending on the scope, and the general contractor’s job is to keep that moving without you making phone calls. We handle the written scope, the trade scheduling, and the daily cleanup. When plumbing or electrical is exposed behind an original 1960s wall, we tell you before it becomes a surprise line item. Our written price covers the agreed scope. Read more about how we run the whole job here: General Contractor in Del Aire.
Bathroom Remodeling in Del Aire
Most bathrooms in Del Aire were roughed in with 5-foot tubs and single-sink vanities, and the cast-iron or galvanized pipes behind them are at the end of their life. A bathroom remodel here usually means replacing the shower valve, rerouting drain lines, and often adding blocking for a new vanity or glass enclosure. We write the price for that before demo begins, so the number you approve is the number you pay. For the full breakdown, see Bathroom Remodeling in Del Aire.
Kitchen Remodeling in Del Aire
Del Aire kitchens from the 1950s and 1960s were built closed off from the dining room, with narrow doorways and limited counter space. The remodel often starts with opening a wall or two, which means a beam, a permit, and a structural review. We handle that sequence. Cabinetry, countertop, and appliance layout follows after the structure is right. For the cost range and the process, see Kitchen Remodeling in Del Aire.

Home Remodeling in Del Aire
Home remodeling in Del Aire usually means one of two things. Either you’re updating a single room and the walls are telling you the house needs more than you planned, or you’re doing a whole-house project where the goal is to modernize the layout, the systems, and the finishes at once. Because the homes here hold their original 1950s framing and plumbing, we approach every project as a systems job, not just a surface job. Our written scope and price reflect that. The Home Remodeling work we do ranges from a single-bathroom refresh at $9,000 to $28,000, up to a whole-house remodel or home addition that can run $45,000 to $130,000 in Del Aire.
