Complete Kitchen Remodeling in Long Beach: Design to Construction

From coastal homes in Naples and Belmont Shore to established properties throughout Belmont Heights, Bixby Knolls, and the surrounding neighborhoods, Long Beach kitchens vary widely in size, style, and layout.

Kol & Co. provides complete kitchen remodeling in Long Beach, helping homeowners create better layouts, more storage, larger islands, custom cabinetry, and a more natural connection between the kitchen and surrounding living spaces. We handle the details that bring the entire renovation together—from design and material selections to structural changes, plumbing, electrical, permits, and construction.

Whether you’re completely redesigning an older kitchen or creating a more refined, open space for cooking and entertaining, we build around your home, your priorities, and how you want to use the kitchen.

How Much Does a Kitchen Remodel Cost in Long Beach?

For the kitchen projects Kol & Co. typically handles, homeowners should generally plan for approximately $40,000–$70,000+.

A larger custom kitchen with significant layout changes, structural work, premium cabinetry, natural stone, high-end appliances, or extensive plumbing and electrical work can exceed that range.

The final cost depends on what you’re actually changing—not simply the square footage of the kitchen.

We provide a more accurate estimate after seeing the existing kitchen and understanding the scope of the renovation.

Complete Kitchen Remodeling

Ready to start over with your kitchen? We can change the layout, replace the cabinetry, update plumbing and electrical, install new countertops and flooring, improve the lighting, and handle the construction through the final finishes. If walls need to move or the kitchen needs to expand, we can take care of that too.

Custom Kitchen Design

Not sure what the best layout is for your space? We help you work through the decisions that matter early—where the island should go, how much storage you need, where appliances make sense, and whether changing the current footprint will give you a better kitchen.

Custom Cabinetry & Kitchen Islands

We plan cabinetry around the kitchen rather than trying to make standard storage fit everywhere. That can include full-height pantry cabinets, deep drawers, appliance storage, built-ins, custom islands, seating, and better use of corners or areas that are currently wasted.

Luxury Kitchen Remodeling

For a higher-end kitchen renovation, we can incorporate custom cabinetry, quartzite and natural stone, premium appliances, statement lighting, detailed millwork, and upgraded fixtures and finishes. The focus is on getting the layout, materials, and details right—not simply adding expensive features.

What’s Included in a Complete Kitchen Remodel?

A complete kitchen remodel involves much more than replacing cabinets and countertops. Layout, cabinetry, appliances, plumbing, electrical, lighting, and finishes all need to work together—and planning those pieces early can prevent costly changes once construction starts.

Layout & Structural Work

If the existing kitchen feels tight, closed off, or poorly arranged, we can change the footprint before rebuilding it. We also account for what’s inside the walls before anything is moved or removed.

May include:

  • Demolition & preparation
  • Kitchen layout changes
  • Wall removal or relocation
  • Structural beams & framing
  • Expanded openings
  • Door & window modifications

Custom Cabinetry & Storage

Cabinetry is planned around the room, appliances, and the storage you need. We work out these details early because cabinet dimensions affect countertops, plumbing, electrical, and appliance installation.

May include:

  • Custom kitchen cabinets
  • Kitchen islands & seating
  • Pantry cabinetry
  • Built-in storage
  • Appliance integration
  • Cabinet hardware
Learn More

Plumbing, Electrical & Lighting

Once a kitchen layout changes, the plumbing and electrical often need to move with it. We handle this work before the walls are closed and cabinets go in, so outlets, fixtures, appliances, and lighting end up where they belong.

May include:

  • Sink & plumbing relocation
  • Appliance connections
  • New outlets & circuits
  • Under-cabinet lighting
  • Recessed & decorative lighting
  • Switches, dimmers & controls
Learn More

Countertops, Finishes & Installation

This is where the kitchen comes together. Countertops are measured after cabinetry is installed, and the remaining finishes are completed in the right order to avoid unnecessary rework or damage.

May include:

  • Quartzite, quartz & natural stone
  • Countertops & backsplashes
  • Flooring installation
  • Plumbing fixtures & hardware
  • Appliance installation
  • Painting & finish work

How Long Does a Kitchen Remodel Take in Long Beach?

Our typical kitchen remodel takes approximately 6–10 weeks of construction, depending on the scope.

A renovation that keeps the existing layout may be more straightforward. A kitchen involving structural work, custom cabinetry, significant plumbing or electrical changes, new windows or doors, or changes to adjacent living spaces may take longer.

The overall project timeline can also include:

Design and layout planning
Material and appliance selections
Engineering when required
Permit review
Cabinet fabrication
Ordering long-lead materials
Construction and inspections

Do I Need a Permit for a Kitchen Remodel in Long Beach?

It depends on the scope of the renovation.

The City of Long Beach identifies kitchen remodels as one of the project types that may qualify for its Express Permit process when plan submission isn’t required. More complex building alterations can require plan review instead.

Permit requirements can change when the project involves work such as:

Structural modifications or wall removal
Plumbing changes
Electrical work
Mechanical work
New or modified windows and doors
Significant alterations to the existing building

Historic properties can also have additional requirements when exterior changes are involved. The City requires exterior changes to landmarks and properties within designated historic districts to receive a Certificate of Appropriateness before the work begins.

Kol & Co. coordinates the applicable plans, engineering, permits, inspections, and construction as part of your Long Beach kitchen remodel.
