What’s Included in an Aliso Viejo Home Remodel?

Every home and scope is different, but for the larger remodeling projects we take on, the work often goes well beyond replacing finishes.

Layout Changes & Structural Remodeling

Many Aliso Viejo homes have layouts that worked when they were built but may feel more divided than homeowners want today.

Depending on the project, this may include:

  • Removing or modifying walls
  • Opening the kitchen to living areas
  • Enlarging or combining rooms
  • Reconfiguring the floor plan
  • Adding or changing door openings
  • Structural beams and framing
  • Coordinating structural engineering
  • Planning additions or expanded living space

We look at the existing structure first so you know what's realistic before committing to a new layout.

Kitchen & Bathroom Remodeling

If several areas of your home need work, we can coordinate the kitchen and bathrooms as part of the larger renovation instead of treating them as separate projects.

This may include:

  • New kitchen layouts and islands
  • Cabinetry and countertops
  • Walk-in showers and tubs
  • Vanities and bathroom storage
  • Plumbing fixture relocation
  • Tile and flooring
  • Lighting and electrical
  • Plumbing, waterproofing, and ventilation

This is especially useful when you're updating multiple rooms and want the layout, materials, and finishes to feel consistent throughout the home.

Plumbing, Electrical & Behind-the-Walls Work

Once walls, ceilings, or floors are opened, we also look at the existing systems affected by the new layout so necessary work can be handled before everything is closed back up.

Depending on the home's condition and project scope, we can address:

  • Plumbing modifications
  • Electrical upgrades
  • New lighting and outlets
  • Mechanical and ventilation work
  • Existing framing conditions
  • Previous alterations
  • Insulation and drywall
  • Work required for the new layout

This is an important part of larger remodels where walls are moving or kitchens and bathrooms are being reconfigured.

Interior Finishes & Final Details

Once the layout, structural work, and major systems are addressed, we bring the different areas of the remodel together with the finishes you'll see and use every day.

This can include:

  • Flooring throughout the home
  • Interior doors and trim
  • Custom cabinetry and built-ins
  • Countertops and tile
  • Lighting and fixtures
  • Paint and wall finishes
  • Finish carpentry
  • Final hardware and details

For a full-home remodel, we coordinate these selections across the project so the finished house feels intentional and connected—not like several rooms remodeled at different times.

How Long Does Remodeling Take?

Once 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.

Do You Need a Permit for a Home Remodel in Aliso Viejo?

It depends on the work we’re doing, but many larger remodels require permits.

In Aliso Viejo, permits are commonly required when a remodel involves:

Moving or removing walls
Structural changes
Plumbing or electrical changes
Mechanical or ventilation work
Kitchen or bathroom layout changes
Additions or other significant alterations

For projects that require approval, Kol & Co. coordinates the applicable plans, engineering, permit documentation, construction, and inspections as part of the remodel.

What About HOA Approval in Aliso Viejo?

HOA requirements are important to check early, especially if your remodel affects the exterior of the home.

The City of Aliso Viejo recommends that homeowners contact their HOA for exterior modifications, including additions, to verify any architectural or community requirements.

The City also notes that HOA approval is separate from City approval. A building permit does not remove your responsibility to comply with applicable CC&Rs or master/sub-association requirements.

For projects involving exterior changes, we recommend confirming the HOA requirements during planning so they can be coordinated with the design and permit process.
