Trusted Kitchen Remodeling for Los Angeles Homeowners
Kitchen remodeling in Los Angeles typically costs $16,520 to $53,100 for a full project, depending on Cabinets & Countertops choices, and whether walls or plumbing move. That’s the number you should have in your head before anyone picks up a hammer. At Penhallow Remodeling, we put that price in writing before any work starts, and we back every job with our 365-Day Done Right Promise. Trevor Nash leads our Los Angeles team, and a real person answers the phone at (213) 277-6578, any hour, any day.
We serve homeowners across Los Angeles who have been burned before. A contractor who ghosted after demo. A price that doubled halfway through. A drawer that stuck six weeks after install. That’s why we hand you a written number, a written guarantee, and a real arrival window before a single cabinet comes out.
Kitchen Remodeling Contractor
A Kitchen Remodeling Contractor is the licensed general contractor who runs your entire kitchen project, from demolition to final inspection, and coordinates every trade that touches the job. You need one when the project involves moving plumbing, changing electrical, or altering the footprint of the room, not just swapping finishes. Penhallow Remodeling Los Angeles handles Full Kitchen Remodeling as your single point of contact, with a written price before work begins that covers the full scope, so the number on day one is the number on the invoice. Full kitchen remodels in Los Angeles run $16,520 to $53,100.
Permits and Code Compliance
Moving a sink, adding a circuit, or removing a load-bearing wall in Los Angeles means dealing with LADBS permits. We pull permits, schedule inspections, and pass them. You don’t chase paperwork.
Single Point of Contact
You call one person about plumbing, electrical, Backsplash, Tile & Flooring, and cabinets: us. No “that’s the subcontractor’s problem.” We coordinate every trade and show up in the window we gave.
Styles & brands we work with
Kitchen Design
Kitchen Design is the planning phase where layout, cabinet style, countertop material, lighting, and workflow all get worked out before construction starts. You need it when the current kitchen fights you, when storage never works, or when you’re tired of walking around an island that’s in the wrong place. Penhallow Remodeling Los Angeles includes design work with every remodel, using real measurements from your actual kitchen, not a showroom guess. Design work is baked into the remodel price of $16,520 to $53,100.
Work Triangle and Clearances
We lay out the sink, fridge, and range so you’re not crossing the whole room to drain pasta. We also check that walkways meet Los Angeles code clearances, usually 36 inches minimum.
Material Selections with Real Samples
You’ll see actual Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone slabs, actual KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinet doors, not just a photo. We bring samples to your home so the color reads true in your lighting.
Kitchen Renovation
Kitchen Renovation means replacing and upgrading major components of the kitchen, like flooring, cabinets, counters, lighting, and appliances, without necessarily changing the room’s footprint. You need it when the bones of the kitchen are fine but everything attached to them is worn out. Penhallow Remodeling Los Angeles renovates kitchens with the same written-price and written-guarantee standard as a full remodel, usually in a shorter timeline because the walls and plumbing stay put. Kitchen renovations in Los Angeles run $16,520 to $53,100 depending on cabinet line and countertop choice.
Flooring and Underlayment
In older Los Angeles homes, the subfloor often needs leveling before new tile or hardwood goes down. We check for that and include the fix in the written price, not as a surprise change order.
Lighting and Electrical Updates
Recessed lights on dimmers, under-cabinet LEDs, and dedicated circuits for new appliances all get planned in before demo. We won’t leave you with a beautiful kitchen plugged into a 1972 panel.
Cabinet Installation
Cabinet Installation is the precise mounting, leveling, and hardware adjustment of kitchen cabinets so doors align, drawers glide, and boxes stay square for years. You need it when cabinets are sagging, doors won’t close, or you’re doing a refresh that swaps tired boxes for new storage. Penhallow Remodeling Los Angeles offers Cabinet Installation & Refacing with KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, leveling that accounts for Los Angeles’ older homes, where floors and walls are rarely perfectly plumb. Cabinet installation runs $4,720 to $15,340 depending on count, layout, and cabinet line.
Shimming and Leveling
We shim every box so the countertop sits flat and doors close without a fight. In a 1950s Westwood kitchen, that can mean a lot of shims. The written price covers it.
Soft-Close Hardware
Soft-close hinges and drawer slides are standard on our installs, not an upsell. You won’t hear a cabinet door slam in this house again.
Countertop Installation
Countertop Installation is the templating, fabrication, and setting of counter slabs over your base cabinets, then sealing and caulking all seams and edges. You need it when counters are cracked, stained, or you’re replacing worn laminate with a material that actually holds up. Penhallow Remodeling Los Angeles installs Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone quartz, which carry their own manufacturer warranties alongside our 365-Day Done Right Promise. Countertop installation in Los Angeles runs $2,360 to $7,670 depending on material and square footage.
Digital Templating
We use digital templating to capture the exact geometry of your counters, especially in older Los Angeles kitchens where nothing is square. The slab fits on day one.
Seam Placement and Sealing
We place seams where they’re least visible and seal everything properly. You get a written note on how to care for the stone, and we return free within the year if anything shifts.
Kitchen Remodeling Company
A Kitchen Remodeling Company is a licensed general contractor whose primary work is planning, pricing, and building kitchen projects from start to finish under one roof. You need one when you want accountability that goes past the last day of construction, someone who answers the phone after the final check clears. Penhallow Remodeling Los Angeles is exactly that, operating under the Kingswell standard since 2004, with background-checked, uniformed technicians on every job. Our kitchen remodels run $16,520 to $53,100.
The Kingswell Way
Say the price before the work. Show up in the window we gave. Leave the place cleaner than we found it. That’s The Kingswell Way, and it’s been our operating standard since 2004.
Background-Checked and Uniformed
Every technician who walks into your Los Angeles home is background-checked and in uniform. You know who’s at your door, and you know they belong there.
Small Kitchen Remodel
A Small Kitchen Remodel is a focused project, usually under 150 square feet, that upgrades cabinets, counters, and fixtures without moving walls or plumbing. You need it when the kitchen is cramped but functional, and you want a smarter layout without the cost of a full gut. Penhallow Remodeling Los Angeles specializes in small kitchens, common in Studio City bungalows and older Los Angeles apartments. Small kitchen remodels run $10,620 to $23,600 depending on cabinet line and countertop material.
Maximizing Storage in Tight Footprints
We spec full-extension drawers, pull-out pantry trays, and corner solutions that make a small Los Angeles kitchen store like a bigger one. The design work comes with the project.
Faster Timeline
Because walls and plumbing typically stay put, most small kitchen remodels in Los Angeles finish in two to three weeks once materials are on site. You’ll have a real schedule in writing before we start.
Kitchen Cabinet Refacing Contractors
Kitchen Cabinet Refacing Contractors replace the visible surfaces of your existing cabinets, meaning new doors, drawer fronts, and veneer, while keeping the original cabinet boxes in place. You need it when the cabinet frames are solid but the doors are dated, chipped, or just wrong for the house. Penhallow Remodeling Los Angeles refaces cabinets with doors and veneers that match the KraftMaid and Wellborn lines we install new. Cabinet refacing typically runs $4,720 to $15,340 depending on door style and cabinet count, and we give you a written price before any work starts.
Keeping Your Existing Layout
Refacing means no demo, no dust storm, and no weeks without a kitchen sink. The footprint stays, the plumbing stays, and the room looks brand new.
When Refacing Is the Wrong Call
If the boxes are water-damaged or the layout doesn’t work, refacing puts a new face on an old problem. We’ll tell you straight if new cabinets make more sense, and we’ll price both so you can compare.

AfterBrands We Service
We work with the product lines that back up our guarantee with their own. KraftMaid cabinetry comes with a limited lifetime warranty on the box and hinges, which layers on top of our 365-Day Done Right Promise. Wellborn cabinetry gives us American-made boxes with a wide range of door styles and finishes, so your Los Angeles kitchen doesn’t look like every other cabinet showroom in the valley.
We install Cambria quartz, which carries a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects and stains, and Silestone and Caesarstone, both with their own 25-year manufacturer warranties. Whether you have KraftMaid, Wellborn, Cambria, Silestone, Caesarstone, or any other make, we can help you plan and install it.
Signs You Need a Pro Right Now
- Drawers that stick or fall off their rails. This means the cabinet boxes have shifted or the hardware has failed. It won’t fix itself, and forcing a drawer closed often cracks the face frame, turning a $50 fix into a $500 replacement.
- Counters that crumble at the edges or show water rings that never dry. Laminate de-laminating or stone that’s absorbed water means the seal has failed. Once water gets under a counter, it migrates into cabinet boxes and starts warping wood.
- A sink that drips or a faucet that wobbles at the base. Water leaks under the deck eventually rot the cabinet floor and the subfloor below it. In Los Angeles, older subfloors are already dry and brittle, so a slow leak becomes a soft floor fast.
- One electrical outlet for the whole counter. If you’re running the toaster and the microwave off the same circuit and it trips, the kitchen isn’t wired for modern appliances. Overloaded circuits are a fire risk and a remodel trigger.
- Floors that slope when you walk toward the sink. That’s often a sign of past water damage or settling. We see it regularly in older Los Angeles homes, and it needs a structural look before any new flooring goes down.
Our Process, Step by Step
- 1
Call and talk to a person. You reach a live human at (213) 277-6578, not a voicemail. We ask about your kitchen, your timeline, and what’s not working. Then we schedule a visit in a window you choose.
- 2
In-home walkthrough and written price. Trevor Nash or a team lead walks the kitchen, measures, checks plumbing and electrical, and listens. Then we hand you a written price before any work starts. Not a range. A number.
- 3
Design and material selection. We bring cabinet doors and stone samples to your home, work through layout options, and lock in every choice. No surprises later because nothing is a placeholder.
- 4
Construction with a real schedule. We demo, frame, rough in, install, and finish in the order that makes sense. You get a written timeline and a call if anything shifts. Our technicians are background-checked and in uniform every day.
- 5
Final walkthrough and written guarantee. We walk the job with you, fix anything that’s not right, and hand you the written guarantee. If anything fails inside 365 days, we come back and make it right at no charge. No re-inspection fee, no service call charge.
How Much Does Kitchen Remodeling Cost in Los Angeles?
A full kitchen remodel in Los Angeles runs $16,520 to $53,100 depending on cabinet line, countertop material, and whether the layout changes. A small kitchen remodel in a Studio City bungalow or a North Hollywood apartment typically lands between $10,620 and $23,600 because the plumbing and walls stay where they are. Cabinet installation alone runs $4,720 to $15,340, and countertop installation runs $2,360 to $7,670 depending on slab material and square footage.
What moves the number: cabinet brand and door style, quartz versus laminate, moving plumbing or electrical, and whether the subfloor needs leveling. Older Los Angeles homes with 1950s framing often need extra shimming and floor prep, and that work is in the written price, not a change order. The way to avoid overpaying is to get a written price that covers the complete scope, with the cabinet and countertop lines named, not “comparable quality” placeholders. Our free estimate includes line items for cabinets, counters, labor, and permits where they apply. Call (213) 277-6578 and we’ll walk your kitchen with you.
