Pasadena · San Gabriel Valley
We remodeled a kitchen in a two-story Pasadena townhouse in 91101. Slim shaker cabinets in white oak replaced the old boxes, and new flooring went through the whole house so the kitchen did not end at a seam. That job is on our projects page. Most Pasadena kitchens we see sit in Craftsman or Spanish Colonial homes, where the room is small and the original built-ins are worth keeping. We plan the layout around what the house already does well, then file with the City of Pasadena, which runs its own plan check.

Permits and local rules

Kitchen Remodeling in Pasadena
Craftsman kitchens were built small and closed off. We often open the wall to the dining room, keep or rebuild the original built-in buffet, and use inset or slim shaker doors that suit the house. You get a modern kitchen that still reads as 1915.
How it works
Premier Hi-End Builders is a kitchen remodel contractor serving Greater Los Angeles. We build semi-custom and fully custom kitchens, islands, and open-concept layouts. Permits are filed when plumbing, gas, electrical, or walls move. You get a written scope and a labor and materials price before demolition.
We measure the room, look at what is behind the walls, and talk through what annoys you about the kitchen you have. Plumbing and electrical get checked here, because that is what moves a budget later.
We map the new plan and price it against real cabinet, counter, and appliance choices. You see options at a few price points before anything gets ordered.
If the scope needs a permit, we file it. Long-lead items like cabinets and stone go on order early so the schedule is never waiting on a truck.
The old kitchen comes out. Framing, plumbing, electrical, and any structural change happen while the walls are open, and inspections get scheduled around them.
We install the cabinets, counters, tile, and fixtures, then paint. At the end we walk the room with you and fix any small items before we call it done.

FAQ
Usually not for interior work. Landmark Districts mostly review exterior changes. If the remodel moves a window or adds an exterior door, design review can apply. We check your parcel first.
Yes. The Pasadena Kitchen Remodel on our projects page shows the white oak shaker cabinets and the flooring we ran through the townhouse.
Start with how you cook, how much storage you need, and whether the layout has to move. We walk the room with you, check plumbing and electrical, and price the real scope before demolition. The free LA Remodel Decision Sheet lists the questions to settle first.
Semi-custom uses configurable cabinet lines and finish options that still fit your room. Fully custom builds cabinetry and layout from scratch around your exact plan. Both can look high-end. The difference is how much of the box is made for your space.
