A Kitchen That Matches How You Actually Cook

The kitchen is where every Southern California family lives. We design kitchens around the way you actually cook, host, and gather — then we build them with custom cabinetry, premium counters, and the kind of finish work you do not see in a flip.

Every Kitchen, From Refresh to Reimagined

A pull-and-replace cabinet swap. A wall removal that opens to the family room. A full down-to-the-studs gut remodel with new windows. We do it all.

• Layout Reconfiguration: The biggest unlock in any kitchen remodel is the layout. We move walls, relocate plumbing, add islands, and re-think work triangles to make your kitchen actually work the way you cook.
• Custom Cabinetry: Frameless or face-frame, painted or stained, full-height pantries, soft-close everything. We work with custom shops in LA and OC to build cabinets to your exact specs — no big-box compromises.
• Premium Appliances: We install Wolf, Sub-Zero, Thermador, Miele, Monogram, JennAir — and we coordinate with your kitchen designer on the cutout dimensions, gas/electric runs, and ventilation.
• Counters & Backsplash: Quartz, quartzite, marble, soapstone, butcher block — we install them all. Waterfall edges, full-slab backsplashes, integrated drainboards. Templated by laser, installed by hand.
• Lighting & Electrical: Recessed cans, pendant clusters, undercabinet LED, in-cabinet glass shelving lighting, dimmers on every circuit, USB outlets where you actually need them. Modern panels and 20-amp circuits to code.
• Permits & Inspections: Any kitchen remodel that touches plumbing, gas, electrical, or structure requires permits. Vision Homes pulls them, schedules every inspection, and includes them in your fixed price.

Kitchen Remodel Questions

How long does a kitchen remodel take?

A pull-and-replace kitchen may take 4–6 weeks, a layout reconfiguration 6–10 weeks, and a full gut remodel 10–14 weeks. The construction schedule is set in the written agreement; permit timing is an estimate.

How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Los Angeles?

In LA and OC, kitchen remodels typically run $40,000–$80,000 for a mid-range refresh, $80,000–$150,000 for a custom remodel with layout changes, and $150,000–$300,000+ for a high-end gut remodel with premium appliances and finishes.

Can we use the kitchen during the remodel?

No — once demo starts, the kitchen is unusable. Most clients set up a temporary "camp kitchen" in the dining room with a microwave, mini-fridge, electric kettle, and induction burner. We help plan it.

Do you do custom cabinetry?

Yes — we work with custom cabinet shops in LA and OC. Custom cabinets cost more than semi-custom (Kraftmaid, Decora) but they are built to your exact dimensions with no filler strips and your choice of any door style, wood, and finish.

Should I move the sink/stove or keep them where they are?

It depends on plumbing and gas runs. Moving a sink within the same wall typically adds $500–$1,500. Moving it across the room can add $2,000–$5,000+ with re-piping. We give you exact line-item pricing for every move so you can decide.

What is the ROI on a kitchen remodel?

Kitchen remodels typically return 70–80% of cost at resale in LA and OC. Beyond resale, they are the single highest "lifestyle ROI" remodel because the kitchen is where families spend the most time.

Do I need permits for a kitchen remodel?

Any work that involves plumbing, gas, or electrical changes requires permits. Cosmetic work like new countertops, paint, and backsplash doesn't. Vision Homes handles all permitting as part of our turnkey service — it's included in your fixed-price contract.

What countertop material is best for a kitchen remodel?

Quartz is the most popular choice — it's non-porous, doesn't need sealing, and comes in hundreds of colors. Quartzite and marble are premium natural stone options. Butcher block adds warmth to islands. We help you choose based on your cooking habits and budget.

Can you open up my kitchen to the living room?

Yes — open-concept conversions are our most-requested kitchen project. We remove the wall between kitchen and living/dining, install a steel beam for structural support, and create the flowing great room that modern families want.

How do you handle appliance selection and installation?

We work with all major premium brands (Wolf, Sub-Zero, Thermador, Miele) and coordinate cutout dimensions, gas/electric connections, ventilation, and delivery timing. Many clients save thousands by ordering through our trade accounts.
