LAGUNA HILLS REMODELING
Kitchen and Bath Remodeling in Laguna Hills
Planning a kitchen or bath remodel in Laguna Hills? Our Rancho Santa Margarita showroom is a short drive away, and one licensed team takes your project from the first sketch to the final walkthrough.
Laguna Hills became a city in 1991, but much of it is older. Moulton Ranch land here was subdivided in the early 1960s, and the median Nellie Gail Ranch home was built in 1981. That means many kitchens and baths are more than 40 years old.

More About Our Laguna Hills Work
Kitchens and the City's Permit Rules
Laguna Hills spells out kitchen permits clearly. Its handout says a permit is not required for kitchen countertop replacement or re-facing of the existing cabinets. A permit is required when you remove, replace, or relocate cabinets, sinks, or dishwashers, add or change an island, or change electrical work or the hood. We tell you which side of that line your plan falls on, and our Orange County permit guide compares these rules with nearby cities.
Bathrooms in Older Homes
If your home was built before January 1, 1994, a permitted remodel brings in California Civil Code 1101.4. Toilets over 1.6 gallons per flush, showerheads over 2.5 gpm, and faucets over 2.2 gpm count as non-compliant and get replaced. We check yours at the home measure and put any upgrades in the price.
Nellie Gail Ranch
Nellie Gail Ranch is an equestrian community from the 1970s, with many lots zoned for horses and its own riding trails. Homes here belong to the Nellie Gail Ranch Owners Association. We ask for the association’s current rules early, so your schedule doesn’t stall later.
Our Laguna Hills Remodeling Process
First comes a free 15-minute discovery call, by phone or Zoom, and then a free measure of your home that takes about an hour. After showroom selections and a 3D design, you get one written proposal. We file with the Laguna Hills Building/Safety Division and book the two or more inspections a kitchen remodel needs. The full eight steps are on our remodeling process page.
Materials & Craftsmanship in Laguna Hills
We work with suppliers such as MSI Surfaces, Arizona Tile, Silestone, Republic Floor, and Johnson Hardwood, and cabinet lines such as Dura Supreme and Waypoint Living Spaces. Installation carries our one-year workmanship warranty, and each product keeps its manufacturer warranty.
Serving Laguna Hills & Nearby Orange County
We work across Laguna Hills, from Nellie Gail Ranch to North Laguna Hills, which joined the city in 1996, and the Westside, annexed in 2000. Permits go through the City of Laguna Hills Building/Safety Division at 24035 El Toro Road, (949) 707-2600, and its online permit portal. The city’s own exempt list tells owners to check their CC&Rs, and we do that with you before design approval. We also serve these neighboring communities:
Rancho Santa Margarita · Coto de Caza · Mission Viejo · Lake Forest · Aliso Viejo · Laguna Niguel

Laguna Hills Remodeling FAQ
Do I need a permit to replace countertops in Laguna Hills?
Not on its own. The city’s kitchen handout says a permit is not required for countertop replacement or re-facing existing cabinets. Moving or replacing cabinets, sinks, or an island, or changing electrical work, needs a permit, and we file it for you.
How much does a kitchen or bath remodel cost in Laguna Hills?
Many of our kitchens fall between $35,000 and $85,000+, and many bathrooms between $15,000 and $45,000+. A countertop-only update costs less. Your written price comes after the free home measure.
Do you work with the Nellie Gail Ranch Owners Association in Laguna Hills?
Yes. We ask for the association’s current rules before design approval and plan the work around them. Association approval and the city permit are separate steps.
My Laguna Hills home was built before 1994. What changes?
With a permitted remodel, Civil Code 1101.4 requires non-compliant fixtures to be replaced, such as toilets over 1.6 gallons per flush. We check them at the home measure and include the work in your proposal.
