homeowners

Over 340 projects completed in Pacific Palisades. Real reviews from real neighbors — from fire rebuilds and kitchen remodels to ADUs and full home transformations.
In their own words
After the January fires, we were completely overwhelmed. We had three different contractors giving us wildly different numbers, an insurance adjuster who wasn't returning calls, and no idea where to start. A neighbor on Amalfi referred us to Pacific Palisades Remodeling, and everything changed. They assigned us a project manager within 48 hours who coordinated directly with our adjuster, walked us through the entire LADBS and Coastal Commission process, and gave us a clear, itemized estimate. Fourteen months later, our home is completely rebuilt — WUI-compliant, exactly what we wanted, and on budget. These guys are the real deal.
We'd been living with a cramped, compartmentalized kitchen for eleven years and finally decided to do something about it. The problem was that opening it up required removing a load-bearing wall — which meant structural engineering, a beam solution, and permits most contractors weren't comfortable with. Pacific Palisades Remodeling handled all of it without blinking. The project came in on time, on budget, and the finished kitchen is honestly better than anything we imagined. The island alone completely changed how we live in the house. Their project manager checked in weekly, sometimes more. You always knew exactly what was happening.
Every project, every neighborhood
We converted our detached garage into a guest house for my mother-in-law. The permit process alone — between the city and the HOA — would have taken us years on our own. They had approvals in 8 weeks and finished the build exactly on schedule. The space is beautiful and my mother-in-law hasn't stopped talking about it.
Our primary bathroom was embarrassingly outdated for a home in this neighborhood. The team completely redesigned it — heated floors, a walk-in rain shower, soaking tub, and custom tile work throughout. The project manager was in contact constantly and the craftsmanship is absolutely magazine-worthy. Worth every penny.
After losing our home in January, I didn't know where to start. Three different contractors gave me three completely different answers on what I could and couldn't build. PPR was the only team that actually understood the Coastal Commission and WUI code intersection. They navigated everything and my home is exactly what I wanted.
We added a second-story master suite above our garage. The hillside lot made it complicated — there were grading and foundation issues that came up during permitting. The team handled every single obstacle without drama, kept us informed, and delivered a suite that feels like it was always part of the house. Professional from start to finish.
I've done three renovations in different homes over the years and this was easily the smoothest experience I've had. They came in with a detailed estimate, stuck to it, communicated constantly, and finished two days ahead of schedule. The kitchen is stunning — custom cabinets, Calacatta marble, and the lighting plan they proposed was inspired.
Our backyard hillside had been slipping for years and we'd had two other contractors look at it without any confidence in their proposals. PPR came in, did a proper soils analysis, designed a retaining wall system that actually addressed the drainage root cause, and completed it cleanly. No drama, no mess, and our yard has been stable through two rainy seasons.
We bought a dated home in the Riviera specifically to gut renovate it. PPR handled everything — kitchen, all four bathrooms, flooring throughout, new windows, and outdoor deck. One project manager for the entire job. It took eleven months and the result is genuinely extraordinary. Everyone who walks in asks who did the work.
Built a detached ADU in our backyard for rental income. The team walked us through California's ADU laws, maximized the allowable square footage within our lot, handled every permit, and built a beautiful 640 sq ft unit that now rents for $3,200/month. Best investment we've made in this property by far.
We're halfway through our fire rebuild and I had to write this now because the experience has been so different from what I feared. Our PM meets us on site every week, our insurance adjuster has described them as the most organized contractor they've worked with, and the quality of what's going up is exceptional. Can't wait to see the finished home.
The transformation
speaks for itself
Real projects, real results. Each transformation comes with the story behind it — from the challenges we solved to what our clients said when they walked in for the first time.
The island alone completely changed how we live in the house. It's the center of everything now.
These guys are the real deal. Our home is exactly what we wanted — and we never had to deal with the insurance company directly.
My mother-in-law hasn't stopped talking about it. It's better than most apartments I've seen in LA.
The craftsmanship is absolutely magazine-worthy. Worth every penny and then some.
