Luxury Kitchen Remodeling in Los Angeles
Kitchen Remodeling Designed Around How You Live
A kitchen remodel is more than a visual upgrade. It is about creating a space that fits your lifestyle, daily routines, and long-term plans for your home. From modern family kitchens to high-end custom renovations, our design-build team delivers kitchens that look great, function better, and add real value to your property.
We Do Construction Los Angeles specializes in luxury kitchen remodels for clients in Brentwood, Pacific Palisades, Beverly Hills, and Sherman Oaks. Typical investment runs $150K to $500K, with completion in 4 to 8 months depending on scope. WDC’s kitchen scope covers structural reconfiguration (load-bearing wall removal, ceiling height changes, window expansions), full MEP replacement (gas line relocation, 60A circuit additions, sub-zero and steam plumbing), custom cabinetry sourced from millwork partners, natural stone and quartzite slab selection, and integrated appliance specification for Wolf, Sub-Zero, Gaggenau, and Miele. Principal Jacob Bachar oversees design through punch list. LADBS permits are pulled for any project involving structural moves, gas reroutes, or electrical service upgrades. Lead time from contract to permit issuance averages 8 to 16 weeks based on plan check load.

SIGNATURE MOMENTS
What separates a WDC kitchen from a renovation.
Workflow-first design
Every layout decision starts with how you actually use your kitchen — prep zones and storage positioned around your habits.
Hidden storage systems
Pull-outs, toe-kick drawers, and built-in organizers that eliminate clutter without sacrificing style.
Material integrity throughout
Same quality materials on surfaces you touch every day as on the surfaces you see. No shortcuts where it counts.

FAQ
$150,000 to $500,000 in 2026 for the luxury tier. A refresh within the existing footprint with semi-custom cabinetry lands $150–225K. A reconfigure — wall down, custom millwork, integrated appliances — lands $225–350K. An architectural kitchen with structural work, full custom cabinetry, and a professional range lands $350–500K.
6 to 14 weeks of construction. Including design and permitting, kickoff to the first dinner runs 12 to 30 weeks. Cabinetry lead time, at 10 to 16 weeks, is the longest single line item, which is why we release the cabinet order before demolition begins.
Yes if any wall comes down, the island moves significantly, the panel needs upgrading, or the hood vent path changes. LADBS handles all of it, and we manage the filing, engineering coordination, and inspections. A cosmetic refresh that holds plumbing and electrical in place can sometimes proceed without a permit.
Usually, yes. We set up a temporary kitchen, seal the work zone with dust barriers, and schedule utility shutoffs in advance. The hard weeks are demolition and rough-in; most families stay in place for the full 6 to 14 weeks.
Yes. A first conversation is free and gives you a ballpark range for the scope you describe. A committed number comes out of Discovery — a fixed-fee feasibility phase that produces a written memo with zoning and setback summary, permit path, preliminary scope, and budget envelope. No design work begins until program and budget are agreed.
A dedicated WDC project manager, the same team from Discovery through final walkthrough. You receive a weekly site report and a monthly Owner-Architect-Contractor meeting. The team that designed the project is the team that builds it.
