Your entire home, reimagined.
Pacific Palisades whole home remodeling — kitchens, bathrooms, structural changes, open-plan conversions, and complete gut renovations. 18 years in the Palisades. CSLB #982386. One contractor, one contact, from permit to final finish.
Why Palisades homeowners choose a full remodel over moving
With Pacific Palisades lot values among the highest in Los Angeles, selling and buying elsewhere rarely makes financial sense. A whole home remodel transforms how you live in the home you already own — at a fraction of the cost of upgrading to a comparable property.

Every part of your home, transformed as one
A whole home remodel is not a collection of separate projects happening at the same time. It is one coordinated project where every trade, every room, and every system is planned and executed together — so the result feels cohesive, not assembled.
Most 1950s–1970s Palisades homes were built with compartmentalized floor plans — separate kitchen, dining, living, and family rooms divided by walls. Opening these spaces is the single most impactful change we make in a whole home remodel. We coordinate the structural engineer, permits, and beam installation as part of the full project scope.
- Load-bearing wall removal — structural engineering, permits, steel or engineered lumber beam
- Floor plan reconfiguration — new layouts that match how you actually live
- Second-story additions — structural engineering of existing first floor
- All permits coordinated — LADBS structural review, Coastal Commission, HOA
Kitchen
Custom or semi-custom cabinetry, stone counters, professional appliances, backsplash, lighting, and plumbing — coordinated as part of the whole home scope. The kitchen is typically the most complex single room and benefits most from being planned alongside structural changes.
Bathrooms
Primary suite, guest baths, powder rooms — all remodeled as part of one project, with waterproofing, tile, plumbing, and finishes coordinated to a consistent design language. Plumbing rerouted once, permits pulled once, trades coordinated once.
Flooring, Finishes & Millwork
Hardwood flooring throughout, large-format tile where applicable, custom built-ins, trim, baseboards, interior doors and hardware, paint — all selected and installed as a cohesive whole. No mismatched finish lines at room boundaries.
All Systems Updated
Pre-1980 Palisades homes consistently have outdated wiring, galvanized plumbing, and undersized HVAC systems. A whole home remodel is the time to address all three — once, properly, with permits. Doing it piecemeal over years costs more and is more disruptive.
Exterior & Outdoor Living
New windows and exterior doors, cladding updates, roofing where needed, outdoor deck and patio construction, landscape integration. In the Palisades, indoor-outdoor connection is essential — we design and build both sides of the glass as one scope.
Your whole home remodel, phase by phase
Most Palisades homeowners have never managed a project of this scope before. We have done it hundreds of times. Every phase is planned before it starts, every trade is coordinated before they arrive, and every decision is made before it affects your budget or timeline.
We walk every room of your home, assess existing conditions (structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing), understand your goals and priorities, and build a complete project strategy — phasing, budget range, permit pathway, and realistic timeline. All at no cost.
Architectural drawings, structural engineering, and all material and finish selections happen simultaneously — not sequentially. Tile, cabinetry, flooring, fixtures, and appliances are specified before permits are submitted. This eliminates the most common source of delays: decisions made mid-construction.
LADBS building permit, Coastal Commission (where applicable), Grading Division (hillside lots), and HOA architectural review — all submitted at the same time, with complete applications. A contractor who submits sequentially adds months. We never do.
Demolition, structural work (beams, foundation if needed), MEP rough-in (electrical, plumbing, HVAC), insulation, drywall, tile, cabinetry, flooring, fixtures, paint, trim. Every phase inspected before the next begins. Long-lead materials (custom cabinetry, specialty tile, appliances) arrive on schedule because they were ordered in Phase 2.
Final LADBS inspections and sign-off. Punch list walkthrough with you — we address every item before we consider the job done. We do not consider a project complete until you do. Warranty documentation provided for all work and materials.

"We remodeled everything — kitchen, both bathrooms, took down two walls, new floors throughout, new windows. The house looks like a completely different home. They managed every single trade. We had one number to call the entire time."
"We'd been doing the house room by room for 6 years and it was never going to be done. Doing everything at once was the right call. The result is coherent in a way that piecemeal never could have been."
