Kitchen Remodeling Costs in Los Angeles
Kitchen remodeling costs in Los Angeles vary widely based on size, material selections, and scope of work. In 2026, most kitchen remodels in LA range from $50,000 to $200,000.
A basic cosmetic update with new cabinets, countertops, and appliances (no layout changes) typically costs $50,000-$80,000. Mid-range remodels with quality finishes, some layout modifications, and upgraded appliances run $80,000-$130,000. High-end luxury kitchens with custom cabinetry, premium stone counters, professional-grade appliances, and structural changes cost $130,000-$200,000+.
The largest cost factors are cabinetry (30-40% of budget), countertops (10-15%), appliances (10-20%), and labor (30-40%). Structural work like removing load-bearing walls requires engineering and city permits, adding $8,000-$20,000 to project costs.

Open Concept Kitchen Conversions
One of the most requested kitchen renovations in Los Angeles is the open concept conversion — removing walls between the kitchen and adjacent living or dining areas to create a large, flowing space perfect for entertaining and modern living.
Open concept conversions require careful structural planning. Most walls between kitchens and living rooms are load-bearing, supporting the weight of the second story or roof. Removing these walls requires installing engineered beams (typically steel or laminated wood) to transfer the load safely.
Our team coordinates with licensed structural engineers to design proper support systems, obtains all required permits from LADBS, and manages the entire construction process. The result is a seamless, spacious kitchen that transforms how you use your home.
Los Angeles Kitchen Permit Requirements
Most kitchen remodels in Los Angeles require building permits from LADBS. Permits are required for any work involving plumbing changes, electrical work, structural modifications, or gas line work. Simple cosmetic updates (painting, new cabinet doors, countertop replacement with no plumbing changes) typically don't require permits.
The permit process includes submitting architectural plans, energy compliance documentation (Title 24), and structural calculations if removing walls. Plan check approval typically takes 4-8 weeks. During construction, inspectors verify rough plumbing, electrical, framing (if structural), and final installation.
Priority One Builders manages the entire permit process, ensuring your kitchen remodel is fully compliant with Los Angeles building codes. This protects your investment and ensures no issues when selling your home.

5.0What Our Clients Say
Priority One built our ADU from start to finish in about 6 months. They handled all the permits with LADBS, kept us updated every week, and the quality is exceptional. We're renting it out for $2,400/month now. Worth every penny.
We hired Priority One for a full kitchen remodel and a bathroom gut. Albert and his crew were professional, clean, and on schedule. The kitchen looks like something out of a magazine. Already recommended them to two neighbors.
Second-story addition on our home. This is a big project and I was nervous, but they made it smooth. Permits came through faster than expected, crews were respectful of our space, and they finished on budget. Highly recommend.
We had a complicated hillside lot and needed a contractor who understood the engineering challenges. Priority One came in with real solutions, not guesses. Structural work was done right and the city inspection passed first try.
Our apartment building needed full exterior renovation and interior upgrades on 8 units. Large scope, stayed on track. The communication from the project manager was the best we've experienced with any contractor.
Built a detached ADU in our backyard. From the free feasibility call to the final walkthrough, everything was handled professionally. Great people to work with — they actually answer the phone.
