Planning to remodel your home in Laguna Niguel? Whether you want to open up the kitchen, renovate several bathrooms, change the floor plan, remove walls, update an older interior, or remodel the entire house, Kol & Co. can take your project from the first ideas through construction and final completion.
We are a licensed, insured, and bonded design-build contractor with 15+ years of experience, providing kitchen remodeling, bathroom remodeling, full-home renovations, ADUs, additions, structural changes, and custom home construction throughout Laguna Niguel.
Because larger remodels involve much more than choosing finishes, we look at the existing home first—its layout, structure, plumbing, electrical systems, access, and the changes you actually want to make. From there, we can coordinate the design, engineering when required, permits, construction, inspections, and finishes as one project.
Serving Bear Brand, Marina Hills, Rancho Niguel, Niguel Summit, Beacon Hill, Kite Hill, Monarch Point, Laguna Sur, El Niguel, and surrounding Laguna Niguel neighborhoods.

For the types of projects Kol & Co. typically takes on, homeowners can generally use these ranges as an early planning guide:
The actual investment depends on the size and condition of the home, layout and structural changes, plumbing and electrical work, cabinetry, tile, fixtures, appliances, finish selections, engineering, permits, and other project-specific conditions.
Every home and scope is different, but for the larger remodeling projects we take on, the work often goes well beyond replacing finishes.
Want to open the kitchen, remove a wall, enlarge an opening, or rethink the floor plan? We first evaluate what the existing home will allow and whether structural, plumbing, electrical, or HVAC work needs to be considered.
Depending on your remodel, we can coordinate:
This helps us understand what’s involved before demolition begins, especially when structural changes are part of the plan.
Learn MoreIf you're updating the kitchen and bathrooms, we can plan the work together rather than treating each room as a separate project. This allows us to coordinate layouts, building systems, materials, and finishes across the home.
Your project may include:
Planning these spaces together can also help avoid unnecessary demolition and conflicting construction decisions.
Learn MoreIf much of your Laguna Niguel home needs updating, we can create one coordinated plan rather than remodeling room by room.
A whole-home remodel can include:
We also consider existing plumbing, electrical, framing, and previous construction so important conditions aren't overlooked during planning.
Learn MoreIf changing the existing layout still doesn't give you enough room, we can evaluate expanding your Laguna Niguel home and how the new space should connect with what's already there.
Depending on the home and property, we can evaluate:
We consider the structure, roofline, utilities, existing layout, permits, and applicable HOA requirements so the addition works with the home rather than feeling added on later.
Learn MoreThe timeline depends on how much of the home you’re changing, whether structural work is involved, and whether plans and permits are required. A cosmetic update will naturally move faster than a remodel involving wall removal, a new floor plan, relocated plumbing, or an addition.
For the projects we typically take on, homeowners can use these as general planning ranges:
Kitchen Remodel: approximately 6–10 weeks
Bathroom Remodel: approximately 3–5 weeks
Full Home Remodel: approximately 4–8 months after permits
ADU: approximately 12 months total, including planning and permitting
New Home Construction: approximately 18 months, including planning and permitting
It depends on the work we’re doing. Many larger remodeling projects require permits through the City of Laguna Niguel.
A permit may be required when your remodel involves:
Removing or modifying walls
Structural changes
Plumbing or electrical changes
Moving sinks or other plumbing fixtures
Adding or modifying a kitchen island
Certain cabinet and kitchen layout changes
Mechanical or exhaust-hood work
Additions or other major alterations
Minor work, such as cabinet refacing or simple countertop replacement, may not require a permit.
If permits are required, Kol & Co. coordinate the plans, engineering, permitting, construction, and inspections as part of the project.
Possibly. City approval and HOA approval are separate processes.
If your property is within an HOA, exterior modifications, additions, windows and doors, roofing, structural exterior changes, ADUs, and other visible improvements may require architectural review depending on your association’s governing documents.
Before finalizing a design, we can check your specific HOA requirements so architectural review can be coordinated with the City’s permitting process where applicable.
We walk the property, discuss what you want to change, and evaluate the existing space and project scope.
We develop the layout, project details, material direction, and construction plan.
When required, we coordinate engineering, construction documents, permit submission, and applicable approvals.
Our team coordinates demolition, construction, trades, installations, finishes, and project management.
We coordinate required inspections, complete final details, and walk through the finished project with you.
We work with homeowners homeowners throughout Laguna Niguel, including Bear Brand, Marina Hills, Niguel Summit, Rancho Niguel, Beacon Hill, Kite Hill, Monarch Point, Laguna Sur, El Niguel, and surrounding 92677 neighborhoods, as well as homes near Crown Valley Parkway, Golden Lantern, Alicia Parkway, and Pacific Island Drive.
Whether you already know exactly what you want to change or you’re still figuring out what’s possible, the best place to start is at the property. We’ll look at the existing space, discuss your priorities, and help you understand the scope, feasibility, and next steps for your remodel.
Costs depend on the scope, layout, structural work, and finishes. As an early planning range, our typical projects are around $25,000–$40,000+ for bathrooms, $40,000–$70,000+ for kitchens, and $200,000–$500,000+ for full-home remodels.
A full-home remodel typically takes around 4–8 months after permits, depending on the size of the home, structural changes, project complexity, and finish selections.
It depends on the scope. Projects involving structural, plumbing, electrical, mechanical, or significant layout changes generally require permits. Minor cosmetic improvements may not.
Possibly. If your Laguna Niguel home is within an HOA, certain exterior changes, additions, windows, doors, and other improvements may require architectural approval. Your HOA requirements are separate from City permits.
Yes. When required, Kol & Co. can coordinate design, plans, engineering, permit documentation, construction, inspections, and project completion.
Yes. We are a design-build contractor, which means we can coordinate the project from planning and design through permitting and construction rather than leaving you to manage separate teams.
