Fast, Reliable Kitchen Remodeling Across Century City
A full kitchen remodel in Century City typically runs $14,000-$45,000, with cabinet installation at $4,000-$13,000 and countertops at $2,000-$6,500. What separates a smooth project from a stalled one here isn’t labor availability. It’s whether your contractor understands high-rise HOA rules, elevator scheduling, and concrete-and-steel party walls before the first cabinet gets ordered. Barrett & Sons Construction has been remodeling kitchens inside Century City’s luxury towers long enough to know exactly where the bottlenecks live. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate from a crew that’s worked The Century, Park Place, and The Carlyle.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Century City’s Preferred Kitchen Remodeling Company
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and he still answers his own phone. His sons run the crews. When we say we know Century City, we mean we’ve coordinated elevator-scheduled slab deliveries through building management at 1 West Century Drive, navigated the sound-transmission rules at Park Place, and pulled permits for kitchen work inside towers on Avenue of the Stars. Our customers in 90067 don’t get a rotating cast of subcontractors. They get background-checked crew members who carry the Barrett & Sons name, and they get a written 90-Day Done Right Promise on every contract.
We’re not a franchise dispatching strangers. We’re the owner-operated alternative that puts every scope item, every allowance, and every price change in writing before work moves. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, which is why we pull permits and sign inspections on every eligible kitchen remodel in Century City. Ask anyone in your building, or look up Tom Barrett’s license number yourself. It’s published, along with his name and address.
Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in Century City
Full Kitchen Remodeling
A Century City full kitchen remodel is rarely a paint-and-hardware job. These are luxury condominiums where the original kitchens were often builder-grade for the 1970s through 1990s, and the owner wants something that holds up against the building’s standard. We handle complete tear-outs, structural assessments behind concrete shear walls, custom millwork, high-end appliance rough-ins, and full finish work. Because the building’s HOA rules govern work hours and elevator use, we sequence the job so demolition, delivery, and installation land inside the approved windows without sitting idle between phases. That’s the local knowledge that keeps a Century City remodel from dragging into month six.

Cabinets & Countertops
We install KraftMaid cabinetry and Cambria quartz throughout Century City, because these are materials you can look up, not mystery brands off a van. Cabinet installation in a Century City high-rise typically runs $4,000-$13,000, and countertop installation sits at $2,000-$6,500. The concrete party walls and in-slab plumbing common in towers here mean we verify load paths and rough-in locations before ordering a single cabinet run. Custom under-cabinet lighting, paneled appliances, and specialty finishes get ordered only after the scope is fixed in writing.

Backsplash, Tile & Flooring
Backsplash installation in Century City runs $800-$2,500 depending on material and square footage. Tile and flooring work inside a high-rise often triggers mandatory dust-containment and sound-transmission requirements from the HOA before we can close a wall. We plan for that inspection sign-off from day one, which means no failed final walkthrough and no delayed move-in. Glass tile, natural stone, and large-format porcelain all require different setting materials and cure times, and we account for Century City’s concrete subfloors when choosing both.

Kitchen Design & Layout
Most Century City kitchens are room-scale challenges: tight galley footprints inside older towers, open-plan great rooms in 2000s-era buildings like The Carlyle. We work from dimensioned layouts and coordinate directly with the owner’s designer or architect when one is involved. On a full remodel at The Century, our crew opened the wall behind the cookline only after confirming the concrete shear wall could accept the new range hood’s rough-in without a structural change order. That’s the kind of sequencing that separates a design that works on paper from one that works inside 90067’s walls.

Trusted Brands We Service in Century City
We install Simonton windows, Ply Gem, and PGT products when a Century City kitchen remodel extends into adjacent glazing or exterior wall work. The extra solar heat gain through the curtain-wall construction that dominates this ZIP is real, and material choice matters in a high-rise where sun exposure is relentless above the tenth floor. We don’t stock a warehouse in Century City, but we stage deliveries through each building’s freight elevator with the same brands we order for single-family homes across Los Angeles.
Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Century City Homes
- Elevator scheduling collisions: A slab delivery booked into one elevator slot can force the HOA to shut down the project for a week while the countertop sits in the loading dock. We coordinate with building management before ordering anything long-lead.
- Load-bearing surprises behind concrete walls: Century City’s towers use concrete shear walls and steel framing, not wood studs. Opening a wall without confirming what’s behind it can trigger a structural redesign mid-rough-in, which is why we assess before we cut.
- HOA dust-containment and sound-transmission sign-offs: These buildings require inspection approval before closing a wall. Missing that sign-off means failing the final HOA walkthrough and delaying move-in, so we build it into the schedule.
- In-slab plumbing constraints: Many Century City kitchens sit on concrete subfloors with plumbing cast into the slab. Adding an island with a sink or moving a gas line means saw-cutting concrete, which requires HOA approval and precise sequencing.
Pricing for Kitchen Remodeling in Century City, CA
Here’s what we see in the Century City market, based on work inside buildings governed by HOA rules and concrete construction. These are the ranges we quote and the ranges we write into contracts.
| Service | Typical Range in Century City |
|---|---|
| Full Kitchen Remodeling | $14,000-$45,000 |
| Cabinet Installation | $4,000-$13,000 |
| Countertop Installation | $2,000-$6,500 |

The honest truth about Century City pricing is that lead times, not labor, set the calendar on this tier. Custom cabinetry from KraftMaid can run eight to twelve weeks. Cambria quartz slabs are cut to spec, not off a shelf. When you order a paneled refrigerator or a custom range hood, the factory schedule is the constraint, not our crew’s availability. We fix the scope of work and the allowance schedule in writing before ordering, so the price you sign does not drift when the lead time does. A written change order arrives before any scope change touches the job. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule your free estimate.

FAQs - Kitchen Remodeling in Century City
They compress every phase into a tighter daily window, usually 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays, and some buildings restrict noisy work to specific hours. We sequence demolition and rough-in first, then schedule deliveries and finish work inside the building’s approved calendar. A full Century City kitchen remodel typically runs eight to sixteen weeks because of these constraints, not despite them. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact timeline based on your building’s rules.
Yes, but it requires saw-cutting the concrete slab to move or add plumbing and electrical, which needs HOA approval and precise sequencing before the slab is patched and the flooring restored. We assess load paths and existing rough-ins before committing to a scope. Island installation in Century City runs $3,000-$10,000 excluding the slab work. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk the building’s specific constraints with you.
Because KraftMaid cabinets, Cambria slabs, and paneled appliances are made to order and factory schedules run eight to twelve weeks out. Our crew’s availability is not the bottleneck; the manufacturer’s queue is. We lock the selection and the allowance in writing before ordering, then sequence the job so the building’s elevator and work-hour windows do not add a second wait on top of the factory’s. That’s how we protect the schedule.
It can, if the building is one of the 1960s-70s concrete towers covered by Ordinance 183893 and the kitchen work touches a structural wall or floor diaphragm. Most interior kitchen remodels do not trigger retrofit scope, but when they do, the retrofit work runs on a separate permit and a separate schedule. We coordinate both so the kitchen is not held hostage to a building-wide retrofit timeline. Call (877) 610-1318 for a straight answer on your building.
We stop work, document what we found, and hand you a written change order that specifies the new scope, the new price, and the new schedule before a single nail moves. The allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date. That’s why we write every one down. You approve it in writing, we proceed, and there is no surprise invoice at the end. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate and a copy of how our change order process works.
