If you’re remodeling a home in Dana Point, there’s a good chance you’re not simply trying to make it look newer.
You may be trying to make an older floor plan work better. Open the kitchen toward the main living area. Bring more natural light into the house. Rework a primary suite that feels undersized. Modernize a coastal home without stripping away what makes it fit the property. Or renovate most of the house at once because years of smaller updates have left it feeling disconnected.
Those are the projects we take on.

We work with homeowners throughout Lantern District, Monarch Beach, Capistrano Beach, Dana Hills, Del Obispo, and surrounding Dana Point neighborhoods.

For the types of projects we typically take on, homeowners should generally plan around:
These are general planning ranges, not quotes. Actual cost and construction time depend on the size of the project, existing conditions, structural work, layout changes, material selections, engineering, permitting, and other project-specific requirements.
Every home and scope is different, but for the larger remodeling projects we take on, the work often goes well beyond replacing finishes.
If the kitchen feels closed off, the living spaces feel disconnected, or the home simply does not flow well, we can look at the bigger layout instead of just replacing finishes.
Depending on the house, that may include:
The goal is not just to make the kitchen look newer. It should work better with the rest of the home.

Sometimes a bathroom feels too small because the layout is wrong, not because the room itself is too small.
We can evaluate how the bathroom, closet, bedroom, and surrounding spaces work together and determine whether it makes sense to reconfigure or expand them.
That can include:
We look at the space as a whole so you are not investing in new finishes while leaving the same layout problems in place.
Learn MoreA lot of the Dana Point remodels homeowners ask us about start with one question:
“Can we change this wall?”
Sometimes the answer is simple. Sometimes the wall is carrying roof or floor loads and needs to be engineered before it can be removed.
We can evaluate projects such as:
This is where planning matters. We want to understand the structure before you commit to a layout that may not make sense to build.
Learn MoreWhen several parts of the home are being remodeled at once, the project needs to feel coordinated.
Depending on the scope, we may coordinate:
For older or previously remodeled Dana Point homes, we also pay attention to what may be behind the walls so unexpected conditions can be addressed as early as possible.
Learn MoreOnce construction begins, the projects we typically handle may take approximately:
Bathroom remodel: 3–5 weeks
Kitchen remodel: 6–10 weeks
Full-home remodel: 4–8 months
ADU: approximately 12 months including planning and permitting
Custom home: approximately 18 months including planning and permitting
Complex structural work, extensive selections, coastal or planning review, engineering, permit corrections, custom materials, and unforeseen existing conditions can extend those timelines.
We meet at your Dana Point property, look at the existing space, discuss what you want to change, and identify potential issues or opportunities.
Once the scope is established, we develop the project around your layout, priorities, selections, and budget.
When required, we coordinate plans, engineering, permit submittals, and the details needed before construction begins.
We manage demolition and the required trades, including framing, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, drywall, tile, cabinetry, flooring, fixtures, finishes, and required inspections.
We review the completed work with you, address remaining items, complete applicable final inspections, and close out the project.
We provide home remodeling and construction services throughout Dana Point, including Lantern District, Monarch Beach, Capistrano Beach, Dana Hills, Del Obispo, and surrounding neighborhoods, as well as nearby communities including Laguna Niguel, San Clemente, and Laguna Beach.
Whether you’re considering a new kitchen, remodeling several bathrooms, changing the floor plan, renovating the entire house, adding square footage, or you’re simply trying to understand what’s possible, the best place to start is at the property.

It depends on the scope. For the projects we typically take on, kitchen remodels are approximately $40,000–$70,000+, bathrooms $25,000–$40,000+, and full-home remodels $200,000–$500,000+. Layout changes, structural work, existing conditions, cabinetry, and finish selections can significantly affect the final cost.
It depends on the work. Projects involving structural changes, plumbing, electrical, mechanical work, additions, and significant kitchen or bathroom renovations may require permits. Some properties within Dana Point’s Coastal Zone can also have additional requirements depending on the location and scope of work.
A substantial full-home remodel typically takes approximately 4–8 months of construction. Design, engineering, material selections, and permitting happen before construction and can add to the overall timeline.
Yes. We can evaluate load-bearing wall removal, larger openings, kitchen relocations, bathroom expansions, and other floor-plan changes. If structural work is involved, engineering may be required before construction.
Yes. In many cases, it makes sense to coordinate the kitchen, bathrooms, flooring, lighting, and other improvements as one project, especially when the work involves shared plumbing, electrical upgrades, structural changes, or finishes throughout the home.
Yes. Kol & Co. is a design-build contractor, so we can coordinate the project from design and planning through engineering when required, permitting, construction, inspections, and completion.
