Looking for a kitchen contractor in Los Angeles who handles the whole project under one roof? That's our specialty. We design, build, and install full kitchen remodels across LA — from layout changes and custom cabinetry to countertops, appliances, lighting, and finishes. Onn personally manages every project, and you work with one team from first sketch to final walkthrough. No middlemen. No subcontractor chains. Just a clear plan, careful work, and a kitchen that fits your home and your life.
Every neighborhood has its own architectural character, permit jurisdiction, and finish-level expectations. Here's how we approach kitchen remodeling in Santa Monica specifically.
Salt air degrades standard hardware and cabinet hinges within a few years. We spec marine-grade or coated hardware for Santa Monica projects — small upcharge, big longevity gain.
Santa Monica has its own building department, generally well-organized but slow during peak season. Coastal Commission review can apply for properties west of Lincoln Blvd in some cases.
If your property has tenants under rent stabilization, scope and timing have legal implications. We coordinate with your tenants and (when needed) your attorney to keep projects compliant.
Santa Monica's 1920s-40s bungalow kitchens are generally compact, but most parcels support layout changes including wall removal between kitchen and adjacent rooms. Open-concept conversion is the most common Santa Monica kitchen scope. We confirm the wall's structural role and the parcel's permit path before committing the design — the conversion is straightforward when the wall isn't load-bearing and more involved when it is.
Santa Monica parcels west of Lincoln Boulevard fall in the Coastal Zone, where exterior envelope changes (new exterior doors, window enlargement, exterior bumpouts) can trigger Coastal Development Permit review. Interior-only kitchen remodels are unaffected. We design Santa Monica coastal-zone kitchens to stay within the existing envelope where possible, avoiding the additional CDP review cycle when the project goal can be achieved without exterior changes.
Santa Monica kitchens within a mile of the ocean see faster corrosion on lower-grade hardware and shorter cycles on improperly-sealed natural stone. We select fixture finishes, cabinet hardware, and natural-stone treatments with that coastal context in mind. The aesthetic doesn't change versus an inland kitchen, but the spec for hardware and stone sealing differs to handle the salt-air environment over time.
Floor plans, 3D renderings, and material palettes tailored to how you actually cook and live. We propose layout changes only when they unlock real value — better flow, more light, more storage.
In-house cabinetry sized to your space, your appliances, and your storage habits. We build cabinet boxes the way they should be built — with hardwood frames, soft-close hardware, and finishes that hold up to LA humidity.
Mobile showroom visits and curated material selections — countertops, tile, hardware, fixtures. We help you choose finishes that look great and fit your budget without surprises later.
We handle the LA County / city permit process, demolition, framing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC adjustments, and finish installation. You get one project manager and clear weekly updates.
Punch list, deep clean, and a thorough walkthrough so every drawer slides, every fixture works, and you actually love the result.
Typical full kitchen remodel range in Los Angeles. Final price depends on scope (cabinets vs. layout change vs. structural work) and finish level (mid-range vs. high-end). We give you a clear, line-itemed quote — no fluff, no surprises.
City of Santa Monica Building & Safety. Coastal Commission review may apply for properties near the bluffs or west of Lincoln. Plan check typically 4–8 weeks.

Most full kitchen remodels run 8–14 weeks of construction, plus 2–4 weeks of design/material lead time before construction starts. Permit timelines vary by city — we manage the process so it doesn't become your problem.
Yes, most clients do. We seal off the kitchen, set up a temporary cooking area (often using a hot plate, microwave, and small fridge), and protect the rest of the home from dust. We schedule the dustiest work in concentrated blocks so the disruption is contained.
Yes. North of Montana has some of the area's highest-end remodels and we've done full-home projects there.
Marine-grade or PVD-coated hardware on visible fixtures, stainless cabinet hinges, and corrosion-resistant fasteners on exterior work. Adds a few percent to material cost.
