Kitchen Remodeling
The Room Everyone Always Ends Up In
The kitchen carries more weight than any other room in the house. Coffee before school. Homework spread across the island. The party that never moves off the counter. Good materials earn their keep here every single day. Athenian Builders Group is a licensed kitchen remodel contractor in Los Angeles, CSLB License #1045030, building kitchens around how you actually cook and entertain, from the cabinetry and stone countertops down to the ventilation and the light over the island.
Every kitchen remodeling project in Los Angeles runs through one team: design direction, permits pulled through LADBS or your city’s building department, demolition, construction, and finish work. You get transparent itemized pricing before work begins, a clear schedule, and a free on-site estimate to start. Whether you want a full custom kitchen remodel or a focused update to kitchen cabinets and countertops, we serve homeowners across LA and all of LA County.
What We Do
Kitchen Remodeling Services in Los Angeles
01
Full Kitchen Renovations
A complete, down-to-the-studs kitchen renovation in Los Angeles: demolition, framing, electrical, plumbing, cabinetry, counters, and finish work handled by one team. One contract, one schedule, one point of accountability.
02
Custom Cabinetry
Cabinets built and fitted to your kitchen’s exact dimensions, not pulled from a warehouse shelf. Choose door styles, finishes, and interior organization that match how you cook and store.
03
Countertops and Stone Work
Quartz, quartzite, granite, and marble countertops templated and installed with clean seams and precise edge profiles. We help you weigh durability against looks so the stone still makes sense in ten years.
04
Kitchen Islands
A well-planned kitchen island adds prep space, seating, and storage without choking traffic flow. We handle the electrical, the plumbing for prep sinks, and details like waterfall stone edges.
05
Open-Concept Conversions
We remove walls, including load-bearing ones with proper engineering and permits, to connect the kitchen to your dining and living space. The result is an open-concept kitchen that feels intentional, not improvised.
06
Kitchen Lighting
Layered lighting designed for real tasks: recessed ceiling light, pendants over the island, under-cabinet strips at the counters, and dimmers throughout.
07
Backsplashes and Tile
From full-height stone slabs to handmade tile, installed level, aligned, and sealed. The backsplash sits at eye level every day, so the details matter.
08
Appliance Integration
Panel-ready refrigeration, built-in ovens, and properly vented range hoods fitted flush with the cabinetry. We plan gas, electrical, and clearances so every appliance lands exactly where it should.
09
Plumbing and Fixtures
Sinks, faucets, pot fillers, and filtered water lines installed or relocated to suit the new layout. Supply and drain lines are moved correctly and inspected, not worked around.
10
Layout Redesign
We rework the footprint around how you actually move: prep, cook, clean, serve. Better clearances, smarter work zones, and a kitchen that no longer fights you at dinnertime.
11
Small Kitchen Remodeling
Compact kitchens in condos, bungalows, and older LA homes need sharper planning, not smaller ambitions. Full-height cabinetry, counter-depth appliances, and layouts that use every inch.
12
Galley and Specialty Kitchens
Galley kitchens, L-shapes, and unusual footprints each have their own logic. We design to the shape you have, or reshape it, instead of forcing a standard plan into a nonstandard room.

Client Reviews
What Homeowners Say
From the first consultation to the final walkthrough, Athenian Builders Group was fantastic. They remodeled our kitchen with custom cabinets, new countertops, and lighting, and it completely changed the space. Their professionalism and craftsmanship were impressive throughout the project.
Really a smooth kitchen renovation from start to finish. Everyone was professional, friendly, and paid attention to the details. I highly recommend them. And the price was better than expected.
My husband and I hired them for our bathroom remodel. They were very easy to work with and kind to answer all our questions patiently. They gave us a 3D design of our bathroom before they start and we loved how they brought our vision exactly how we wanted. Couldn’t be more satisfied.
Is It Time?
Why Homeowners Remodel Their Kitchens
The design feels dated
A kitchen stuck in another decade drags down every room around it, even when the rest of the house has moved on.
Never enough storage
When the counters have become storage, the problem is the cabinetry, not your habits.
A cramped, awkward layout
If two people cooking together means constant collisions, the layout is working against you.
Worn cabinets and tired countertops
Chipped doors, sagging drawers, and scratched counters make even a spotless kitchen feel neglected.
Poor lighting
One ceiling fixture cannot light real prep work, and you feel it every time you cook after sunset.
You entertain more than the kitchen allows
Guests always gravitate to the kitchen, and yours was never planned to hold them.
Appliances past their prime
Old appliances cost you twice, once on the power bill and again on the repair call, and they never sit quite flush in modern cabinetry.
Protecting your home's value
Buyers walk into the kitchen first. In the Los Angeles market, a well-built kitchen remodel is one of the few upgrades they can see and price on the spot.
How It Works
Our Kitchen Remodeling Process
01
Consultation
We visit your home, look at the existing kitchen, listen to what is not working, and talk honestly about scope and budget. The on-site estimate is free.
02
Planning and Design Direction
We work out the layout, settle the structural and mechanical questions early, and draw up the plans your permits require.
03
Material and Finish Selection
We guide you through cabinetry, stone, tile, fixtures, and hardware, then lock in every selection before construction so nothing stalls mid-project.
04
Construction and Installation
Demolition first. Then rough plumbing and electrical, cabinetry, countertops, tile, and finish work, each stage in the right order and inspected where the city requires it.
05
Final Walkthrough
We walk the finished kitchen together, test every door, drawer, fixture, and appliance, and resolve any punch-list items before we call it done.
One team, one price, the whole kitchen.
Everything below is part of the job and part of the fixed price we put in writing. No surprise trades to hire, no loose ends.

Permits
Do You Need a Permit to Remodel a Kitchen in LA?
Here is the honest answer, and either way it stays on our plate, not yours.
Cosmetic work in the same layout: painting, cabinet refacing, new counters, backsplash, and swapping appliances in place typically does not need a permit.
Moving plumbing, gas, or electrical, removing or opening walls, and structural changes all need permits. We prepare the drawings, pull the permits, and handle every inspection.

Questions
Kitchen Remodeling FAQs
How long does a kitchen remodel take?
Most full kitchen remodels take roughly six to twelve weeks of construction, depending on scope, materials, and whether walls or utilities are moving. Design, selections, and permitting add time before construction begins. We give you a realistic schedule in writing before work starts.
Can you help with the layout and design?
Yes. We are a design-build team, so layout, design direction, and construction all run through one contractor. You get a plan that is buildable within your budget, not a concept that falls apart at pricing.
Do you handle permits?
Yes. We pull the required permits and coordinate all inspections. Permitted work protects you at resale and is simply how a licensed contractor should operate.
Can you move plumbing, gas lines, or walls?
Yes. Relocating sinks, gas ranges, and walls, including load-bearing walls, is common in kitchen remodeling. Structural changes are engineered and permitted properly, never improvised.
Should I choose materials before we start?
No, layout comes first. Once the plan is set, we guide you through cabinets, countertops, tile, and fixtures, and every selection is locked in before construction so the project keeps moving.
Do you serve my area?
We remodel kitchens throughout Los Angeles and all of LA County. If you are anywhere in the county, call (310) 857-2520 and we will schedule a free on-site estimate.
What warranty do you offer?
