What we remodel
A kitchen remodel contractor for the whole room.
Akopi Builders is a kitchen remodeling company that designs, permits and builds. You deal with one team from the first photo to the last cabinet pull, not a designer, a contractor and a cabinet shop that each blame the other.
- Layout
- Keep the footprint or open it up. Walls, plumbing, gas and electrical are checked on site before anything is drawn.
- Cabinets
- New cabinets built to the room, or new doors and fronts on boxes that are still sound. We tell you which one your kitchen needs.
- Counters and backsplash
- Quartz, stone or tile, templated after the cabinets are set so the seams and edges land where they should.
- Appliances and lighting
- A new range or hood often means a new circuit or a bigger gas line. We plan it with the layout, not after.
- Floors
- Wood or tile run through the kitchen and into the rooms around it, so the remodel does not stop at a seam.
- Kitchen and bath together
- One crew, one schedule, one set of permits when the kitchen and a bathroom are remodeled at the same time.

Cost
What a kitchen remodel costs in Los Angeles.
For a standard major kitchen remodel, homeowners typically spend between $50,000 and $100,000; a lighter refresh starts around $30,000. Cabinets, counters and the appliance tier move the number most. Moving walls, plumbing or gas moves it more.
A high-end kitchen remodel in Los Angeles, with custom cabinets, natural stone and paneled pro appliances, typically runs $120,000 to $250,000. In Beverly Hills, Bel Air, Brentwood, Malibu and the Palisades, plan on $150,000 to $300,000 or more: access, parking, traffic and hillside logistics add time and cost to every day on site.
Per square foot of kitchen, most Los Angeles kitchen remodels run about $250 to $700. A luxury kitchen with custom cabinets, natural stone and paneled pro appliances can pass $1,000 per square foot, because a small room holds the most expensive work in the house.

Questions
Kitchen remodeling questions.
- How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Los Angeles?
- For a standard major kitchen remodel, homeowners typically spend between $50,000 and $100,000, depending mostly on cabinets, counters and the appliance tier. A lighter refresh starts around $30,000. A high-end kitchen remodel with custom cabinets, natural stone and paneled pro appliances typically runs $120,000 to $250,000, and $150,000 to $300,000 or more in Beverly Hills, Bel Air, Brentwood, Malibu and the Palisades. Our remodel cost guide breaks it down. Your written quote comes after we see the kitchen. Read the remodel cost guide.
- How much does a luxury kitchen remodel cost per square foot?
- Most Los Angeles kitchen remodels run about $250 to $700 per square foot of kitchen. A luxury kitchen with custom cabinets, natural stone and paneled pro appliances can pass $1,000 per square foot, because a small room holds the most expensive work in the house.
- How long does a kitchen remodel take in Los Angeles?
- Construction usually takes about 6 to 12 weeks once permits are issued and the cabinets are ready. Design, selections and permits come first. A high-end kitchen takes longer: custom cabinets commonly take 8 to 16 weeks to build after the shop drawings are approved, and stone counters are cut only after the cabinets are in, so those orders go in early.
- Can we live in the house without a kitchen during the remodel?
- Yes, most families stay home. Set up a temporary kitchen in another room with the refrigerator, a microwave or countertop oven, a coffee maker and a nearby sink, such as a laundry or bar sink. Plan to be without a working kitchen for most of the construction time. The work area should be sealed off from the rest of the house with dust walls, and you should know in advance which days the water, gas or power will be off.
- Is the kitchen design really free?
- Yes. Send a photo of your kitchen and we email you design ideas within 1 business day. There is no obligation and nothing to pay. Get your free kitchen design.
- Is the design what my kitchen will look like exactly?
- No. The design is an AI concept illustration, not a depiction of final construction. A real person checks every one. Your written quote and contract set the details.
- Do I need a permit for a kitchen remodel?
- Usually, when the work moves or adds plumbing, gas or electrical, or changes a wall. Los Angeles neighborhoods go through LADBS. Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Culver City, Burbank and Glendale run their own building departments. We pull the permits.
- Which areas do you work in?
- Los Angeles, including Beverly Hills, Bel Air, Brentwood, Santa Monica and Culver City on the Westside, and Sherman Oaks, Encino, Studio City, Woodland Hills, Burbank and Glendale in the Valley. Ask us about your address.
- Can you remodel the kitchen and a bathroom at the same time?
- Yes. One crew and one schedule for both, which usually means one round of permits and less time with the house torn up.
