Kitchens in Brentwood.
Brentwood Park is one of the neighborhood's oldest subdivisions, with large homes from the 1920s through the 1950s in period revival, early modern and ranch styles. Across Brentwood, kitchens from those decades were closed rooms, often with a breakfast nook and a service porch attached, and many have been remodeled once already with finishes that now date the house.
In the canyons the houses change. Crestwood Hills, at the top of Kenter Canyon, is known for mid-century modern homes with post-and-beam construction and floor-to-ceiling glass, where upper cabinets have nowhere to go. Closer to San Vicente Boulevard there are condominium buildings where the kitchen has to work inside a fixed footprint.
What a remodel in Brentwood has to allow for.
- A second remodel, not a first
- An earlier renovation often left a patchwork of wiring and plumbing behind the walls. A full remodel sorts it out once.
- Glass in place of wall
- In a post-and-beam house, storage moves into the island, a tall pantry wall and deep drawers, because the windows are the point of the room.
- The nook and the service porch
- Folding these small rooms into the kitchen can make space for an island without adding to the house.
- Condominium rules
- Work hours, elevator reservations and water shut-offs are set by the building.
Permits in Brentwood.
Brentwood is part of the City of Los Angeles, and its permits are issued by LADBS. The department's Westside office is the West Los Angeles Development Services Center at 1828 Sawtelle Boulevard, and express permits can also be obtained online. A kitchen remodel with no structural changes qualifies for an express permit, which needs no plan check. Taking out the wall to a breakfast room or a service porch is often structural and goes through plan check, so the layout is settled before the permit path is chosen.

The scope that usually fits.
A kitchen that was last redone decades ago usually needs everything replaced: cabinets, stone, backsplash, flooring, lighting and the wiring behind them. That is a full kitchen remodel at $35,000 to $75,000, whether the room stays as it is or takes in the nook and the service porch. In a condominium the work is often new cabinets and countertops for $20,000 to $35,000, and the largest Brentwood Park kitchens, with full-custom cabinetry, run $75,000 to $100,000 or more.

Who issues kitchen remodel permits in Brentwood?
LADBS, the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety. Brentwood is a neighborhood of the City of Los Angeles, and the nearest LADBS counter is the West Los Angeles Development Services Center at 1828 Sawtelle Boulevard. We prepare the application and schedule the inspections.
My Brentwood kitchen was remodeled in the 1990s. Does it need a full remodel?
Not always. If the layout works and the cabinets and counters are what date the room, replacing them costs $20,000 to $35,000 and takes 3–7 days on site. If the lighting, flooring and wiring are also due, a full kitchen remodel at $35,000 to $75,000 does everything once, with one crew and one schedule.
How do you add storage to a kitchen with glass walls?
By moving it lower and taller: deep drawers in the island and the base cabinets, and a full-height pantry wall on the solid side of the room. That keeps the glass clear, which matters in the post-and-beam houses of Crestwood Hills.
