Your planning and execution partners.
More then just kitchen remodeling contractors in Los Angeles - we design & build.
Most general contractors need you to come to them with plans, permits, and a finalized scope. We do things differently.
As a design-first construction partner, we handle architectural planning, city approvals, engineering, interior design, budgeting, and construction, all in-house. That means:
Fewer delays
Clear communication between teams
One point of contact from start to finish
A clear, aligned process with no surprises
Our process.
After the design is complete and permits are in motion, we don’t just jump into building. We guide every client through a dedicated onboarding phase inside our project platform — Materio — where you’ll see real timelines, selections, communication threads, and historical data from similar projects.
This step gives you full visibility before construction begins, so you're not walking into the unknown. Most firms skip this level of preparation (or hand you off to someone new), but our process keeps you informed and connected from day one through completion.
Free Consultation
We start with a free 1-hour consultation to understand your goals, scope, vision, investment allocation and timeline expectations.
Project Onboarding
Once our proposal is approved, we guide you through our project platform (Materio) for real-time access to timelines, selections, and communication tools.

Kitchen Remodel Los Angeles FAQ’s
-
There isn’t a fixed number. Because every kitchen remodel starts with a conversation, not a price tag. At Dacotah Studio, we don’t throw out rough estimates. Instead, we begin with a free consultation to understand your goals, then use cost-modeling software and real data from past kitchen remodels to build an investment range that’s grounded and realistic. From there, we shape the scope and design to stay aligned with that range. Whether you're in Pasadena or Northeast LA, we bring full transparency to your kitchen remodel in Los Angeles from day one.
-
A “reasonable” budget depends on how much you’re changing, and what your goals are. Instead of guessing, we give you clarity early. After our first consultation, we model your project against a database of similar past remodels to help define an investment range. That number then guides all design decisions. As a full-service kitchen remodeling contractor in Los Angeles and Pasadena, CA, we focus on aligning scope, design, and budget before construction begins, so there are fewer surprises later.
-
Yes, most kitchen remodels require permits, especially if you're moving plumbing, electrical, or making structural changes. As a full-service remodeling contractor in Los Angeles, we manage all permitting and city coordination for you. That includes handling the paperwork, submitting plans, and communicating with building departments, so you don’t have to.
-
That happens more often than people expect. Many homeowners come to us for a kitchen remodel, but once we start planning, they realize it's the right time to address other parts of the home, like updating flooring throughout, reworking adjacent spaces, or upgrading HVAC. Because Dacotah Studio is a full design and build studio, we’re able to expand the scope without starting over or bringing in outside firms. We guide the process with clear communication, realistic cost modeling, and flexibility so your project can grow with your goals.
