Kitchen Remodeling in West Hollywood

Know the House, Then Design the Kitchen

West Hollywood became a city in 1984, after rent-control protections under the County expired and a coalition of residents voted to incorporate. It's home to the Sunset Strip and sits between Beverly Hills and the City of Los Angeles, with residential neighborhoods such as the Norma Triangle, West Hollywood North, West Hollywood West, West Hollywood East and West Hollywood Heights, each only a few blocks across. It's also one of the densest cities in the region, with close to 14,000 homes per square mile at the 2020 census.

Of about 26,000 homes, roughly eight in ten are in buildings of five or more units, split almost evenly between mid-sized and large buildings. Most were built before 1980, with the 1960s and 70s the busiest decades, and about one in six predates 1940. Around one household in five owns.

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.

Under the Surface

Preparing for a Clean, Safe Remodel

These are the conditions we plan for in West Hollywood before anything is ordered.

Climate. All three West Hollywood ZIP codes are in Energy Commission climate zone 9, with warm summers. We design lighting and any new windows to that zone.
Dust control. The kitchen is sealed off from the rest of the house with plastic barriers and a protected entry path.
Electrical capacity. We check the panel and existing circuits before choosing appliances, so the new kitchen does not overload the service.

Kitchen Permits

Approvals for a West Hollywood Kitchen

West Hollywood is an independent city with its own Building and Safety Division. It's separate from the City of Los Angeles, which covers the Hollywood neighborhood to the east and the Fairfax District and Beverly Grove to the south, and from the County. A Los Angeles mailing address near the border can be misleading, so we confirm the parcel's city first.

Work	Usually needs	What to know
Painting and swapping hardware	Generally exempt	Purely cosmetic changes seldom require review.
Same-footprint remodel	Usually a combination permit	Plumbing and electrical reconnections count.
Added lighting or dedicated circuits	Electrical permit	Panel changes are part of the same filing.
Island sink or moved fixtures	Plumbing permit	Drain work is checked before it is covered.
Opening the kitchen to another room	Building permit, plan check	Bearing walls need engineering.

All plan check runs through the City's Permit & License Portal, and the Building Division accepts electronic submittals only.
There's no counter where paper plans can be dropped off. We prepare digital drawing sets, calculations and forms ready for upload, and track comments and corrections through the portal until the permit is issued.
The City's InfoMap shows open planning projects and building permits on a map. Before starting a remodel, we look at it to see whether construction next door or elsewhere in your building could affect access, parking or noise during your project.
It's also a quick way to check whether your own building has open permits that management may need to close first.
Most interior kitchen remodels go straight to Building and Safety. If a project involves exterior changes, a change of use or anything requiring a planning entitlement, the City's Planning Division handles it, and owners can consult Planning before applying.
We raise those questions early when a design touches the exterior.

Each Kitchen Service, Explained

The approach, the local factor to know and what it usually costs.

Cabinetry done right

Cabinet Installation in West Hollywood, CA

The right boxes, set level, make every other trade easier.

We plan the interior first, with full-extension drawers and organizers, and pick the doors last. Installation is level and tight, with fillers scribed to uneven walls.

On West Hollywood jobs

Full-height cabinets and drawer bases solve most storage problems.

How much do new cabinets cost in West Hollywood?

Expect semi-custom cabinets to cost

$380–$770 per installed linear foot.

Plywood boxes, custom sizes and specialty pull-outs raise it.

A clear run to work on

Countertop Installation in West Hollywood, CA

Good counters start with level cabinets underneath.

Seams are planned away from the sink and cooktop before fabrication. Seams land in low-traffic spots and are nearly invisible.

In West Hollywood

In a walk-up, everything goes up the stairs by hand, and long countertop pieces have to make the turns at each landing.

How much do granite tops cost in West Hollywood?

Installed stone tops typically cost

$47–$78 per square foot, installed.

Slab grade, thickness and edge detail move the price.

Tile with clean lines

Backsplash Installation in West Hollywood, CA

How the tile is set matters as much as how it looks.

We dry-lay patterned tile to confirm the look before it goes on the wall. Every joint is cleaned and checked before we move on.

What does tile backsplash cost in West Hollywood?

A typical tile splash costs

$16–$53 per installed square foot.

Natural stone and intricate cuts raise the figure.

From the base up

Kitchen Flooring in West Hollywood, CA

A new floor is only as good as the base underneath it.

Underlayment is chosen for the material and the base. Expansion gaps are hidden under trim.

Many buildings require sound underlayment under hard floors.

What does a new kitchen floor cost in West Hollywood?

Installed porcelain or ceramic generally runs

$7–$11 per square foot, with prep.

Premium porcelain sits at the upper end.

Light for every task

Kitchen Lighting in West Hollywood, CA

Light changes how the whole kitchen feels.

We place recessed lights over the counter edge, not the center of the room. Every fixture is tested and aimed before handover.

What differs in West Hollywood

Many apartment kitchens have no window. Good lighting makes the difference: under-cabinet strips, slim surface or recessed fixtures where the ceiling allows, and light, reflective finishes. A hood with a strong, quiet fan helps clear cooking odors from an interior room.

How is lighting priced in West Hollywood?

$940–$3,650 for the kitchen, fixtures extra.

Fixture count, ceiling access and new circuits set the price.

Fits the first time

Appliance Installation in West Hollywood, CA

Built-in appliances need exact openings.

We review spec sheets with you before ordering. Water and gas shutoffs are left accessible.

The West Hollywood angle

Streets are narrow and parking is scarce. Deliveries need to be scheduled around loading rules and neighbors, and debris removal often happens by hand to a truck at the curb. We plan the logistics before the first day of work, including where the crew parks, how materials get from the curb to the unit and when the noisiest tasks will happen.

Seating overhangs are sized to the stools you will use. Outlets are placed where they will not be splashed.

How much should I plan for an island in West Hollywood?

A finished island generally runs

$4,700–$19,000 for a complete island.

A sink and seating push it toward the top.

Big function, small footprint

Small Kitchen Remodeling in West Hollywood, CA

A small kitchen can be fully rebuilt for less than a big one.

We keep the sink and gas line in place where possible. We confirm every door and drawer opens without a clash. We test before demolition and preserve original details where owners want them. The largest share of homes comes from these two decades. Their kitchens often have short upper cabinets, dead corners, laminate counters, electric ranges and recirculating hoods.

Worth knowing in West Hollywood

The city has a number of architecturally distinctive apartment buildings, some dating to the era when the area drew people from the film industry. Kitchens in pre-war buildings are compact, often with original tile, built-in cabinets and windows onto courtyards or light wells. Plaster walls, cast-iron drains and galvanized supply lines are typical, and lead paint and asbestos are likely.

Layout Planning

Layout Choices and Style Cues

West Hollywood has long been a center for interior designers and to-the-trade furnishing showrooms. Some of those showrooms sell only through designers. If you're working with a designer who sources fixtures, tile or hardware from them, we coordinate lead times and installation requirements so special-order items arrive when the crew is ready.

Walk-up buildings: Cabinets may arrive flat-packed or in smaller sections and be assembled in the unit.
Galley kitchens: keep the work line straight and build storage upward instead of outward.
L-shaped rooms: a short peninsula can add counter and seating without blocking traffic.

Cost Guide

Kitchen Costs in West Hollywood

When the layout changes and everything is replaced, West Hollywood kitchens generally cost $89,000–$168,000.

How much should I budget for a new West Hollywood kitchen?

Changing the plan and renewing every surface puts most projects at $89,000–$168,000.

Full remodel, layout changes$89,000–$168,000Per project, installed

Remodel price ranges

Cheapest scope first:

Counters, backsplash and fixtures

Counters, splash, fixtures and lights in place.

$26,000–$47,000

New cabinets in the existing layout

A full finish replacement without layout changes.

$47,000–$89,000

Apartment or compact kitchen

A complete remodel of a smaller room. Because nothing old stays, it can start above a simple refresh of a larger room.

$47,393–$62,303

Full remodel with system upgrades

Work centers relocated and systems renewed.

$89,000–$168,000

Luxury or reconfigured

Custom everything, sometimes with structural work.

$157,500–$262,500

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

A compact apartment kitchen redone from top to bottom can cost more than a lighter mid-level update of a standard kitchen, so the two ranges overlap. Most condo and apartment kitchens fall in the mid or small-kitchen bands. Full remodels with new plumbing and wiring in older buildings reach the full band.

What Homeowners Say About Our Kitchen Team

200+ reviews from homeowners across Los Angeles County.

★★★★★

"They measured carefully, showed a 3D layout, and did not push an island our aisle could not support. Cabinets and quartz look sharp, and the job site stayed clean."
