One company does all of it.
Most remodeling companies handle one piece and leave you to coordinate the rest. Master Kitchen manages the whole project under one contract, with one point of contact from the first measurement to the final walkthrough.

Your schedule is set before work begins.
You know when each phase happens before installation starts: demolition, rough-in, cabinet delivery, countertop template and finish work. The schedule is written into your proposal.
A full kitchen remodel in Los Angeles usually takes 5–6 weeks. Ours average 2–3 weeks, because design, materials and scheduling sit with one team and every decision is made before demolition. A cabinets and countertops project takes 3–7 days on site, and full-custom cabinetry takes 6–12 weeks to fabricate.

What happens in your home, in order.
A full remodel runs through the same stages every time. Because the design, the materials and the schedule are settled before demolition, each stage starts when the one before it ends.
1
Protection and demolition
The work area is protected, then the old cabinets, countertops and finishes come out.
2
Framing and layout changes
Walls, openings and soffits are moved or rebuilt where the plan calls for it.
3
Rough plumbing, gas and electrical
New lines and circuits are run to where the sink, range, lighting and appliances will be.
4
Inspection
Where the permit requires it, the rough work is inspected before the walls are closed.
5
Drywall and paint
Walls and ceilings are closed, finished and painted.
6
Cabinets
Cabinets are set, levelled and fastened.
7
Countertops and backsplash
The stone is templated on the installed cabinets, fabricated and set. The backsplash follows.
8
Fixtures, lighting and appliances
The sink, faucet, lighting, hardware and appliances go in and are connected.
9
Final walkthrough
We go through the finished kitchen with you and close out anything on the list.
A cabinets and countertops project keeps the layout, so it goes from demolition straight to the cabinets and takes 3–7 days on site. A full remodel averages 2–3 weeks of work in the home.
Permits and inspections in Los Angeles.
In the City of Los Angeles, permits come from the Department of Building and Safety (LADBS). A kitchen remodel with no structural changes qualifies for an express permit, which is issued without plan check. When walls move or the structure changes, the plans go through plan check first.
Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Santa Monica, Burbank, Glendale, Pasadena and the other independent cities run their own building departments, each with its own rules. We prepare the application and manage the permit and the inspections as part of the project.
