Building or remodeling a home in Laguna Beach isn’t like remodeling elsewhere in Orange County. Every property comes with its own challenges, from hillside lots and narrow access roads to older coastal homes, oceanfront properties, aging infrastructure, and one of the most detailed permitting processes in the region. Those factors can influence everything from the design and engineering to the construction schedule and overall investment.
That’s why successful remodeling starts with careful planning, not demolition.
At Kol & Co., we provide complete home remodeling in Laguna Beach, including whole home renovations, kitchen remodeling, bathroom remodeling, home additions, ADU construction, and custom home building. As a licensed, insured, and bonded design-build contractor, we manage every stage of your project, from design, planning, and permits to construction and the final walkthrough, so you have one experienced team guiding the process from start to finish.
Whether you’re opening up a floor plan to capture more natural light, updating a home that’s no longer meeting your family’s needs, or building your forever home, our focus is simple: create a home that’s thoughtfully designed, built to last, and tailored to the way you live.

One of the first questions homeowners ask is, “How much does a home remodel cost in Laguna Beach?”
The answer depends on several factors, including the size of your home, the age of the property, structural modifications, material selections, and the overall scope of work. Homes near the coast or on hillsides may also require additional engineering, permitting, or specialty construction methods.
Below are typical investment ranges for projects we complete.

Every project begins with a consultation where we evaluate your home, discuss your goals, and develop a realistic budget before construction begins.
No two remodeling projects are exactly alike. Several factors influence the overall investment, including:
Home size and existing condition
Structural modifications
Age of the property
Kitchen and bathroom count
Electrical and plumbing upgrades

Countertop materials
Flooring selections
Luxury finishes
Window and door replacements

Permit requirements

Our goal is to provide transparent pricing from the beginning, so you understand where your investment is going and can make informed decisions throughout the project.

In many cases, yes.
