Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a kitchen remodel take in Los Angeles?
A high-end kitchen remodel typically takes 4 to 6 months from consultation to completion — about 8 to 14 weeks of construction, plus design, material lead times, and LADBS permitting, much of which runs in parallel.
Do I need a permit to remodel my kitchen in Los Angeles?
Yes, for most remodels. Any project involving electrical, plumbing, gas, or structural changes requires an LADBS permit. Cosmetic-only updates usually don’t. D&H handles all permitting and Title 24 compliance as part of the project.
