The kitchen remodel cost in Los Angeles is in the range of $40-70k, depending on the appliances, countertops, structural changes, cabinets, and labor. In a full kitchen remodel, the cabinets, countertops, and appliances will be replaced, so include the cost of material and labor into your price estimate. Accessory items in a kitchen remodel include flooring, lighting, and wallpaper.
The larger the kitchen, the more material like flooring, countertops, and cabinets you’ll need as well as an increased labor charge. Many home renovations include structural changes that require changes to the water, electrical, and gas in order to accommodate the new design. If you want a more open look, that may require removing or adding load bearing walls. Let’s talk about the most expensive material in a home remodel, the cabinets. On the low end, you can go with pre-fabricated cabinets, and on the high end you can have custom cabinets manufactured specifically for your kitchen’s dimensions. Pre-fabricated cabinets in Los Angeles cost around $250 while custom cabinets can run in the thousands.

If you spend a lot of time in the bathroom you might want to increase its aesthetics, functionality, and the value it puts into your home. The bathroom remodel cost in Los Angeles ranges from $15,000 to $60,000. A bathroom remodel can be broken down into two components; aesthetic changes like adding a solid-surface vanity, retiling the floor, or changing the cabinets, and structural changes like plumbing, electrical work, or adding space.
Many Los Angeles homeowners are interested in having more open space with separate baths and shower stalls, which may require structural changes. On a square footage basis, a bathroom remodel will cost from $150 per square foot all the way up to $275. Common aesthetic features include the countertops, cabinets, flooring, shower, and vanity. To get the most accurate bathroom remodel cost, speak to a licensed remodeling contractor.

A garage conversion in Los Angeles will typically cost between $70,000 and $130,000, depending on the size of the garage. New California ADU regulations allow homeowners to take more liberty in their garage conversions and even rent out the units to tenants. A licensed contractor can give you the most accurate estimate for all of the price factors including labor, materials, structural changes, and permits.
Other types of garage remodels like full and partial remodels won’t turn a garage into a liveable unit, but they can add smaller features and cost much less. If you want to turn a garage into a liveable unit, you’ll need to factor in adding insulation, updating the roofing, adding heating/cooling, and adding gas lines. In Los Angeles, you’ll need to include licensed labor in your cost estimate. That labor can include plumbing, flooring, carpentry, roofing, and insulation. Most general contractors can handle all of these things.
