Coto de Caza is known for larger homes, established residential neighborhoods, gated communities, and properties where homeowners often have the space—and the reason—to make more substantial improvements rather than simply replace finishes.
Many homes in the area were built with layouts, kitchens, bathrooms, and interior features that no longer match how homeowners want to live today. Some projects start with a dated kitchen or bathroom. Others begin with bigger questions: Can we open the kitchen to the living area? Can we expand the primary suite? Can we remodel several rooms at once? Can we add more living space?
That is where the planning becomes just as important as the construction.
Kol & Co. provides full-service home remodeling in Coto de Caza, including kitchen remodeling, bathroom remodeling, full home renovations, structural and layout changes, additions, ADUs, and custom home construction.
Whether you’re updating one major space or planning a larger renovation throughout the property, the goal is to understand what is feasible first and then build the project around your home, priorities, and budget.

Typical planning ranges for our projects include:
These are planning ranges rather than fixed prices. Actual costs depend on square footage, existing conditions, structural changes, plumbing or electrical relocation, engineering, finish selections, custom cabinetry, site conditions, access, and the overall level of construction.
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 existing floor plan no longer works for you, we can evaluate how the space can be opened, expanded, or reconfigured.
Depending on the project, this can include:

We can coordinate kitchens, bathrooms, and adjoining spaces together so the layout, construction, and finishes work as one project.
This may include:
When a remodel affects walls, plumbing, electrical, or mechanical systems, we coordinate the necessary behind-the-walls work before finishes are installed.
Depending on the scope and existing conditions, the project may involve:
Once the major construction is complete, we coordinate the finishes and details that bring the remodeled spaces together.

The construction schedule depends on the scope and whether design, engineering, permitting, or other approvals are required before work begins.
As a general planning guide:
Bathroom remodel: approximately 3–5 weeks
Kitchen remodel: approximately 6–10 weeks
Full home remodel: approximately 4–8 months
ADU: approximately 12 months including planning and permits
Custom home: approximately 18 months including planning and permitting
Projects involving major structural changes, extensive engineering, additions, custom materials, permit review, or other approvals can require additional time.
We prefer to establish these requirements early so homeowners have a clearer understanding of the project before construction starts.
Depending on the scope of work, yes.
Coto de Caza is located within unincorporated Orange County, so applicable building permits are handled through OC Development Services rather than a Coto de Caza city building department.
Orange County identifies interior renovations and remodels—including kitchens, bathrooms, and interior walls—as projects that typically require building permits. Electrical, plumbing, HVAC work, additions, and new buildings may also require permits.
Kol & Co. coordinates the applicable plans, engineering, permit documentation, construction, and required inspections as part of the remodeling process.
It depends on the property and scope of work.
HOA or architectural approval may be required when a remodel affects the exterior of the home, including:
Keep in mind that HOA approval and Orange County building permits are separate requirements. Depending on your project, you may need both.
For larger remodels, it’s best to confirm these requirements early—before plans are finalized or construction begins.
Kol & Co. can help identify these requirements early and coordinate the construction process around the approvals that apply to your project.
We walk the property, discuss what you want to change, and evaluate the existing layout, project scope, access, and major construction considerations.
We develop the layout, construction scope, material direction, and other project details before work begins.
When required, we coordinate architectural plans, structural engineering, applicable association review, and Orange County permit documentation.
Our team works on demolition, framing, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, finishes, trades, inspections, and day-to-day construction.
We review the completed work with you, address remaining details, and close out the project.
Kol & Co. serves homeowners throughout Coto de Caza and nearby communities including Rancho Santa Margarita, Trabuco Canyon, Ladera Ranch, Mission Viejo, San Juan Capistrano, and surrounding South Orange County areas.
If you’ve been thinking about changing your kitchen, opening the floor plan, remodeling several bathrooms, renovating the entire home, or adding more living space, the first step is understanding what the project will actually require.
We’ll look at your existing home, discuss your priorities, evaluate the proposed scope, and help you determine the right path forward.
No generic remodeling package. No assumptions about what your house needs. We start with the property, the project, and what you want the finished home to do better.
