Homes in Palos Verdes Estates are built to a high standard, and remodels here are held to one too. Many houses date from the 1920s through the 1960s and need updated kitchens, baths and systems while keeping the character the city is known for. We recently completed a full bathroom remodel here in Palos Verdes Estates, and we also work just next door in Rancho Palos Verdes.

What to Know Before You Remodel in Palos Verdes Estates
Palos Verdes Estates has one of the most careful review processes in the South Bay. We plan for it from day one so it doesn't slow you down later.
Art Jury review
Exterior changes in Palos Verdes Estates generally go through the Palos Verdes Homes Association Art Jury as well as the city. We prepare designs that respect the neighborhood style and handle both reviews.
Neighborhood character
The city protects its architectural character, views and open space. We plan materials, rooflines and massing to fit, which saves time in review.
Older homes, hidden conditions
Many homes here are 50 to 100 years old, with outdated wiring, galvanized plumbing, and lead or asbestos in older materials. We test where needed and price it upfront.
Hillside and coastal sites
Slopes, drainage and salt air all affect how a home should be built and finished. We account for them in the design, structure and material choices.

What Our Clients Say
Video review from Jeff Donahue, Palos Verdes Estates
Eyal and his team provided the most impressive and seamless construction experience we've undertaken. The 3D design support and personal shopper made designing our own upgrade fast and cost effective. Their input and rapid feedback got the project started quickly, and the final result was just what we wanted. Most impressive was how well planned the work was. Once the project started there was no down time, or waiting around. Each day the correct work team was on site, and the work was completed on schedule. I was surprised that even the inspections were scheduled and completed without any break in work.
Verified Google ReviewPalos Verdes Estates Remodeling Questions
Do you handle permits in Palos Verdes Estates?
Yes. We prepare the drawings and handle submittals to the City of Palos Verdes Estates and, when required, the Palos Verdes Homes Association Art Jury. We manage the process through final inspection.
How long does a kitchen or bathroom remodel take?
Construction for most bathrooms takes about 3 to 8 weeks and most kitchens about 5 to 10 weeks, depending on scope. Design and permits come before that. We give you a project timeline with the proposal.
Can I build an ADU in Palos Verdes Estates?
In many cases, yes. State law allows ADUs and JADUs on most single-family lots, but lot conditions, setbacks and design review affect what fits. We check feasibility on your property before design starts.
How much will my remodel cost?
It depends on size, layout changes and finishes. After the on-site consultation and 3D design, we give you a ballpark range, and then a detailed proposal so you know the cost before work begins.
