Los Angeles Remodeling — JRD Construction & Development
JRD Construction & Development designs and builds thoughtful kitchen, bathroom, backyard and deck remodels across the Los Angeles area. As a licensed California contractor (CA License #1011498), we focus on clear communication, coordinated trades, and practical solutions for busy homeowners in Los Angeles and surrounding communities.
Core Services
We handle projects from small updates to full-room remodels. Each scope is scoped, scheduled, and managed so you have a single point of contact and a predictable process.
If your project involves structural changes, plumbing, or electrical work, we coordinate licensed trades and inspections to meet local code requirements.
- Kitchen Remodeling — layouts, cabinets, countertops, plumbing and fixtures, lighting
- Bathroom Remodeling — full baths, master suites, accessibility updates, tile and fixtures
- Backyard Remodeling — hardscape, outdoor kitchens, patios, landscape-focused builds
- Decks — wood, composite, railings, stairs, structural upgrades
How a Typical Project Flows
We break work into clear phases so you know who’s on site and when. Communication and scheduling reduce surprises and keep the project moving.
Time in each phase depends on permit processing, custom material lead times, and the complexity of structural or utility changes.
- 1. Initial consult and scope review
- 2. Design choices and permit planning
- 3. Permit pull and procurement
- 4. Demolition and rough-in
- 5. Finish work, inspections, and final walkthrough
Permits & Inspections
Permits protect value and safety. We work with the relevant city departments in Los Angeles, Pasadena, Glendale, Burbank and other service areas to obtain the necessary approvals.
If your home is in a homeowners association (HOA) or historic district, additional approvals may be required; we’ll advise early in the process.
- Many interior remodels and all decks with structural changes require permits.
- We prepare permit drawings, submit applications, and coordinate inspections with the local building department.
- Permit timelines vary by city — we factor that into schedules.
Preparing Your Home
Simple preparation reduces delays. We’ll provide a pre-construction checklist and walkthrough so you know how to protect finishes and where crews will stage work.
Keeping one contact person in the household helps with scheduling and daily decisions.
- Protect valuables and clear access paths for crews.
- Set aside a contingency for unforeseen conditions discovered during demolition.
- Plan for short-term disruptions to water, gas, or power during rough-in work.
- Discuss any mobility or accessibility needs up front.

How long does a kitchen remodel take?
A typical kitchen remodel planning phase takes 2–4 weeks (design and selections). Construction commonly runs 4–10 weeks depending on scope. Timelines vary by permit timing and product lead times.
