Kitchens in Pacific Palisades.
The Palisades Fire of January 2025 destroyed thousands of homes here, and much of the neighborhood is now under construction. Other streets came through, and their houses are being lived in, repaired and remodeled.
In a house that is standing, the work is a kitchen remodel like any other: the room is measured, redesigned and rebuilt around the way the house is used now.
In a house that is being rebuilt, the kitchen is designed on paper alongside the architect's plans. That is the best moment to get cabinetry, appliances, ventilation and lighting right, because nothing has been built around them yet. We provide the design, the cabinetry and the stone, and install them as the house is finished.
What a remodel in Pacific Palisades has to allow for.
- Deciding early
- With many homes under construction at once, selections and orders are settled well ahead so the kitchen is ready when the house is.
- Working with your builder
- In a rebuild, cabinet dimensions, appliance specifications and rough-in locations go to the general contractor before the walls are closed.
- Rooms that open outdoors
- Many Palisades kitchens face a yard, a canyon or the ocean. The layout is planned around those openings.
- A detailed proposal
- Every proposal is written line by line, so you can see exactly what the kitchen includes.
Permits in Pacific Palisades.
Pacific Palisades is part of the City of Los Angeles, and LADBS issues its permits. For fire rebuilding the city runs two one-stop support centers staffed by LADBS, the Bureau of Engineering, the Fire Department, City Planning and the Department of Water and Power: the One-Stop Rebuilding Center at 1828 Sawtelle Boulevard and the Palisades Inspections and Permitting Support Center at 16925 Marquez Avenue. The kitchen in a rebuilt home is covered by the permits for the house. A kitchen remodel in a standing home follows the usual LADBS path: an express permit when nothing structural changes, and plan check when walls move.

The scope that usually fits.
The scope depends on whether the house is standing. In a standing home the work is usually a full kitchen remodel at $35,000 to $75,000, or $75,000 to $100,000 or more with full-custom cabinetry. In a rebuild there is no demolition and no old layout to work around: the scope is design, cabinetry, countertops and installation, and it is quoted once the design is set.
