Planning Your Beverly Hills Remodel

A Clear Path to a New Kitchen

Beverly Hills became an independent city in September 1914, a few years after the Rodeo Land and Water Company began selling lots and the first house in the subdivision went up in 1907. Its housing is older and more varied than its reputation suggests. Of roughly 16,500 homes, more than a quarter were built before 1940 and over half before 1960. Only about 37 percent are detached houses.

Most residents live in the flats between Sunset and Santa Monica Boulevards, and the area south of Wilshire has smaller lots and more apartment buildings than anywhere else in the city. To the north, Trousdale Estates is a 410-acre neighborhood developed mainly in the 1950s and early 1960s. About four in ten households own their homes, so we work for apartment owners and condo associations as often as for homeowners.

The process is simple: we look closely at the room, design it in 3D around your cooking and storage, and give you an itemized estimate in writing.

Pipes, Power and Air

House Systems Worth Checking First

A new kitchen is only as good as the plumbing, wiring and venting behind it.

  • A scullery or catering kitchen. In larger homes, a second working kitchen behind the main one keeps mess out of sight. It may hold a second dishwasher, a deep sink, extra refrigeration, small appliances and a prep counter. Caterers can work there while the main kitchen stays clean. Adding one usually means new plumbing, circuits and ventilation, and it's part of the same permit.
  • Hillside homes north of Sunset. Trousdale Estates and the other hillside areas were largely built after the war, and many houses there date from the 1950s and 60s. Kitchens in homes of that period were often compact and closed off, even in large houses, and owners now want them opened to the living spaces and views. Flat or low-slope roofs can limit where a hood duct or skylight can go, and long spans of glass leave less wall for cabinets.
  • Climate. All Beverly Hills ZIP codes are in Energy Commission climate zone 9, with warmer summers than the coast.
Building Permits

When a Beverly Hills Kitchen Needs a Permit

Beverly Hills runs its own Building & Safety through the City Permit Center. It's not part of the City of Los Angeles, the County or West Hollywood, even though those boundaries are close by. New plan review and permit applications start through the City's online permit application system, and the City's own example of a kitchen remodel covers replacing cabinets, electrical and plumbing fixtures.

  • Kitchen remodels are among the project types the Permit Center lists as eligible for walk-in or appointment service.
  • When a project goes through plan review, staff may send a link to upload drawings to ProjectDox after the application and fees are processed.
  • If your home is in an association, the Permit Center's guide calls for an authorization letter from the association where applicable.
  • A clear set of drawings saves weeks. Ours include the existing and new floor plan, cabinet elevations, an electrical plan with every circuit and outlet, plumbing fixture locations, the hood and duct route, appliance specifications and energy compliance forms.
  • For structural changes, an engineer's calculations and details are added. We also prepare the association letter request early, since boards may meet only monthly.
Service Details

What Every Service Includes

Here is how each part of the kitchen is planned, built and priced.

Storage first

Cabinet Installation in Beverly Hills, CA

If you cannot reach what you own, the cabinets are the problem.

Your layout gets drawer bases where you work and tall units where you stock up. Soft-close hinges and slides come standard.

Worth knowing in Beverly Hills

Access matters too: narrow, winding streets make deliveries of slabs and cabinets a planning exercise, so we schedule trucks and staging with the neighbors in mind.

Our first questions
  • Check walls for square
  • Shim boxes level
  • Map storage zones
  • Run uppers to the ceiling
Crisp white Shaker kitchen cabinets

What is the price of Beverly Hills kitchen cabinets?

Plan on

$390–$770 per foot, installed.

Door style, box material and organizers move the price.

A clear run to work on

Countertop Installation in Beverly Hills, CA

Where the seams fall matters as much as the stone you pick.

The sink and faucet are chosen first, because the cut-outs depend on them. We protect the new tops until the rest of the work is finished. Marble etches from acids, so we discuss honed finishes and sealing. Quartzite is harder but still needs care.

For Beverly Hills homes

For marble, quartzite or exotic granite, we recommend selecting the actual slabs at the stone yard. Natural stone varies from slab to slab, and the fabricator's layout determines where veins fall on the island and backsplash. Bookmatching, where two consecutive slabs are opened like a book, creates a mirrored pattern for a full-height backsplash.

Our first questions
  • Lay out the slab pattern
  • Seal natural stone
  • Check slab delivery route
  • Compare quartz and granite
Quartz kitchen countertop installation

What do quartz counters run in Beverly Hills?

Mid-grade stone counters here cost about

$50–$82 per installed square foot.

Premium colors and thicker slabs sit at the top.

Tile, planned first

Backsplash Installation in Beverly Hills, CA

Grout and backer choices decide how long a backsplash lasts.

Options range from ceramic subway tile to a slab that matches the counter. The finished wall is wiped down and inspected in raking light.

Our first questions
  • Repair drywall first
  • Decide the height
  • Choose a sealer
  • Lay out outlet cuts
Warm traditional kitchen

What do backsplash tiles cost installed in Beverly Hills?

Beverly Hills backsplash work usually comes to

$16–$53 per square foot.

Natural stone and intricate cuts raise the figure.

Underfoot, done right

Kitchen Flooring in Beverly Hills, CA

The kitchen floor takes water, traffic and dropped pans.

Thresholds into the next rooms are planned to avoid trip edges. Grout is sealed where the tile needs it.

Our first questions
  • Repair soft spots
  • Confirm appliance clearance
  • Plan thresholds
  • Protect during the build
Kitchen flooring with room transitions

What do kitchen floors run in Beverly Hills?

Tile flooring typically costs

$7–$10 for each square foot installed.

Prep work, not the tile, often drives the figure.

Layered light

Kitchen Lighting in Beverly Hills, CA

A lighting plan should be drawn with the cabinets.

Color temperature is matched across every fixture. Outlets and switches are grouped with the lights where possible.

Beverly Hills specifics

Glazing, insulation and lighting must meet that zone's requirements, and a kitchen with west-facing windows benefits from low-e glass.

Our first questions
  • Finish wiring before tile
  • Set pendant height
  • Choose dimmers
  • Hide the light rail
Kitchen pendant and recessed lighting remodel

What does kitchen lighting cost in Beverly Hills?

Plan on

$1,000–$4,000 per kitchen in labor.

Attic access and panel work move it within the range.

Ready for the new range

Appliance Installation in Beverly Hills, CA

Most appliance problems come from openings, supply lines or vents.

The gas or electrical supply is confirmed for each appliance. We run the dishwasher and check for leaks before leaving. When a hood moves enough air, the code can require a makeup-air system so the house isn't depressurized, which can pull exhaust from water heaters or fireplaces back indoors. We size the hood and determine whether makeup air applies before the cabinet design is final. Refrigerators, freezers, dishwashers and wine units that accept cabinet panels make the kitchen look like furniture.

On Beverly Hills jobs

Many Beverly Hills clients want a 48- or 60-inch range with high-output burners. That choice affects the gas line size, the electrical supply for ovens and igniters and, most of all, the hood. A powerful range needs a hood large enough to capture its smoke and a duct that runs outside.

Our first questions
  • Check door swings
  • Pick panel-ready units
  • Time the delivery
  • Test every unit
Kitchen appliance installation

How is appliance installation priced in Beverly Hills?

Installing a set of appliances generally runs

$570–$2,850 for the kitchen, labor only.

Moving the range or adding a gas line costs more.

Gathering space

Kitchen Island or Peninsula in Beverly Hills, CA

A peninsula often gives the same space with less floor.

Storage faces the side where you cook. We leave the aisle widths you approved on the drawing.

Our first questions
  • Check appliance doors
  • Plan seating overhang
  • Size for stools
  • Plan island outlets
Butcher block kitchen island prep surface

How much should I plan for an island in Beverly Hills?

A new island here runs about

$5,100–$20,500 including cabinets and countertop.

Length and storage drive the figure.

Compact kitchens, planned inch by inch

Small Kitchen Remodeling in Beverly Hills, CA

Compact kitchens are where good design shows most.

Drawers replace base doors to use every inch. Ventilation is sized for the smaller space.

Beverly Hills homes

With over half of homes in buildings of five or more units, multi-unit kitchens are a big part of the work here. For rental owners, we create a durable standard that can be repeated across units and scheduled around tenant turnover. In condominiums, the association's rules on hours, elevator use, insurance and flooring apply, and you'll need its authorization letter.

Our first questions
  • Choose compact appliances
  • Build storage upward
  • Keep plumbing in place
  • Swap doors for drawers
Contemporary white kitchen

How much does a small kitchen remodel cost in Beverly Hills?

A small Beverly Hills kitchen usually comes to

$36,018–$47,350 for the total project.

The footprint keeps the top of the range lower.

Layout Planning

Layout First, Finishes Second

Homes from before 1940 may have plaster walls, knob-and-tube wiring hidden in the walls, galvanized or cast-iron pipes and original window details. Lead paint is common in houses of that age. We test before demolition, plan for repair of plaster rather than patching with drywall where finishes matter and keep original trim, windows and built-ins where you want to preserve them.

  • Panel-ready appliances: We confirm power and water connections for each.
  • Older houses in the flats: If your property has a historic designation, exterior changes may require the City's review; we confirm the property's status first.
  • Newer houses: flat-panel doors and thin quartz keep the lines clean.
Cost Guide

Beverly Hills Kitchen Budget Guide

Full remodels in Beverly Hills usually come in at $90,000–$169,000.

How much does a new kitchen cost in Beverly Hills?

If you are replacing everything and moving plumbing, budget $90,000–$169,000; a refresh in place costs a fraction of that.

Gut-and-rebuild kitchen$90,000–$169,000For the whole job

From refresh to rebuild

From the lightest scope up:

Cosmetic: counters, backsplash, sink, lights

Refreshing what you see without opening walls.

$26,500–$47,500
Compact or condo kitchen

A compact kitchen rebuilt completely. Since the whole room is new, the range can reach past the start of a bigger-kitchen refresh.

$36,018–$47,350
Mid-range with new cabinets

New cabinets and surfaces, same footprint.

$47,500–$90,000
Full remodel and systems

The full remodel: new layout, cabinets, counters and lighting.

$90,000–$169,000
Luxury, custom or structural

Structural changes or premium materials throughout.

$158,500–$264,500

Combined work is priced as one project. The overlap in labor and setup lowers the total.

Many projects here land in the luxury band because of pro appliances, custom cabinets and natural stone. A condo kitchen updated in place is often in the mid band.

FAQs

Beverly Hills Kitchen Questions

What does a kitchen remodel cost in Beverly Hills? +

Expect $26,500–$47,500 for a refresh, $47,500–$90,000 for new cabinets in the same layout and $90,000–$169,000 for a full remodel with a new plan.

Who issues my kitchen permit? +

The City of Beverly Hills Building & Safety through its Permit Center.

Can a kitchen remodel be handled at the counter? +

Kitchen remodels are listed as eligible for walk-in or appointment service. Projects that need plan review go through ProjectDox.

Will my new range require makeup air? +

It depends on the hood's airflow. We calculate it during design.

What timeline should I expect in Beverly Hills? +

Walk-in eligibility can shorten simple permits. Projects with structural work, makeup air or association approvals take longer. Custom cabinetry often has a lead time of eight to twelve weeks, so we order it as soon as drawings are approved.

Can I change my mind after the plan is approved? +

Small changes are usually fine before materials are ordered. After that, we price any change in writing first.
