Kitchen Remodeling
A kitchen remodel is one of the most impactful home updates for daily living and resale. We handle everything from cabinetry and countertops to lighting, plumbing, and tile. For projects that change structural walls or modify major systems we prepare plans and manage permit submissions.
What to expect: an on‑site measurement, materials and finish selections, a written proposal with phased schedule, and permit coordination if required.
- Cosmetic refreshes, cabinet refacing, countertop replacement
- Electrical and plumbing upgrades coordinated with inspections
- Full ‘gut’ remodels with layout changes and appliance relocation
Bathroom Remodeling
Bathrooms require careful sequencing because plumbing and waterproofing inspections are needed at specific stages. We plan for inspection windows to minimize downtime and avoid rework.
Whether it’s a cosmetic refresh or a full reconfiguration, we document the scope and identify any code updates that must be met for a successful final inspection.
- Accessible layouts and shower upgrades
- Vanities, tile, lighting and ventilation improvements
- Waterproofing and moisture‑sensitive area construction
Backyard Remodeling
Backyard projects range from planting and hardscape to outdoor kitchens and lighting. Some work—especially structures, retaining walls, or significant grading—triggers plan reviews and permits. We review site constraints, neighborhood rules, and utility locations before work begins.
When planning, consider how the outdoor remodel affects drainage, setbacks, and neighboring properties; we’ll explain permit thresholds up front.
- Patios, hardscape, outdoor kitchens and lighting
- Planting beds, irrigation tie‑ins and grading considerations
- Accessible paths, seating walls and low‑maintenance design
Decks — design and build
Deck construction focuses on safe attachment details, proper flashing where the deck meets the house, and compliant stair and railing systems. Local building officials will review structural plans for elevated decks and those attached to the dwelling.
We design decks to meet code, prepare the plans required for permit submission, and schedule inspections in coordination with the city or county.
- Ground‑level and elevated decks designed to code
- Composite and natural wood framing options
- Railings, stairs, and connection details per local requirements
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a permit for a kitchen remodel in Los Angeles?
Yes — for most structural, plumbing, electrical, or sizing changes you will need a building permit in the City of Los Angeles. The LADBS (Los Angeles Department of Building & Safety) requires permits for new construction, additions, and many alterations; smaller, non‑structural work may qualify for an express permit but still needs to follow LADBS rules. Always confirm with your local building department before work begins. ([dbs.lacity.gov](https://dbs.lacity.gov/services/plan-review-permitting/building-permits?utm_source=openai))
How long does it take to get a permit and plan check?
Permit plan‑check and approval times vary by city, scope, and whether other departments (planning, fire, water, etc.) need to review your project. Some small remodels can be processed quickly through e‑permit/express permit systems; full plan checks for structural changes commonly take longer. Check LADBS or your city’s online portal (or the County’s EPIC‑LA portal for unincorporated areas) for current status and estimated timelines. ([ladbs.org](https://www.ladbs.org/services/core-services/plan-check-permit?utm_source=openai))
Does a deck always need a permit?
Decks commonly require permits when they are attached to the house, exceed a certain height above grade, include structural framing, or involve electrical/plumbing. Exact thresholds and exempted deck conditions differ by city and county; we’ll check local rules and pull permits where required. For Los Angeles city and county projects, the LADBS and LA County resources explain what needs a permit.

Will JRD handle permits and inspections for my project?
Yes. We handle permit paperwork, plan check submissions, and inspection scheduling on behalf of our clients. Managing permits reduces delays and ensures work is inspected and signed off properly — we coordinate with the permitting offices and inspectors in the service city you choose.
