Fast, Reliable Kitchen Remodeling Across Inglewood
Kitchen remodeling in Inglewood typically runs between $14,000 and $45,000 for a full project, with smaller remodels landing closer to $9,000-$20,000. Those numbers assume permits, proper seismic upgrades where required, and materials you can actually verify. If you’re reading this from a bungalow near Centinela Park or a ranch-style home off La Brea, you already know that Inglewood’s housing stock comes with its own set of rules, and we’ve worked inside enough of them to know what those rules are before the first cabinet gets pulled. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll put a real number together for you.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Inglewood’s Preferred Kitchen Remodeling Company
Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews. That’s not marketing language; that’s the reason you’ll see the same faces on day three that you saw on day one. Inglewood homeowners have told us they’re tired of calling a national outfit and getting a different person every time, with a different answer every time. We don’t work that way.
The Newport-Inglewood Fault runs directly through Inglewood, which means a kitchen remodel here often starts with a question other cities don’t have to ask: what’s holding this house to its foundation? We’ve opened walls in ZIP codes 90310 and 90311 and found unbolted cripple walls, original 1950s Romex, and galvanized supply lines that predate Kennedy. That’s not a surprise to us; it’s Tuesday. You get a written scope, written allowances, and a written change order before anything changes. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, which is exactly why I want him on the job.
Every completed kitchen remodel carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise, written on the contract. If it’s not done right, Tom comes back. One call. No fine print.
Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in Inglewood
Full Kitchen Remodeling
A full kitchen remodel in Inglewood means gutting the space, updating the electrical and plumbing to current code, reinforcing what needs reinforcing for seismic, and rebuilding from there. Most homeowners in the 90309 and 90312 ZIP codes are working with galley kitchens in post-WWII wood-frame houses, so we spend real time on layout before we spend a dollar on materials. Expect $14,000-$45,000 depending on scope and finish level.

Cabinets & Countertops
We install KraftMaid cabinets and Cambria quartz, brands you can look up, not mystery boxes off a van. Cabinet installation in Inglewood homes usually runs $4,000-$13,000, while countertop installation lands at $2,000-$6,500. If you’re in the Fairview Heights area with original 1960s cabinets, refacing is often the smarter move than full replacement, and we’ll tell you that even when a full replacement would make us more money.

Backsplash, Tile & Flooring
Inglewood’s marine-layer climate doesn’t wreck tile the way desert heat or freeze-thaw does, so tile and backsplash work holds up well here. Backsplash installation typically runs $800-$2,500 in this market. The bigger issue we see in older Inglewood kitchens is water damage under layers of linoleum from decades of slow plumbing leaks. We address that before any new flooring goes down.

Kitchen Design & Layout
Most Inglewood kitchens from the 1940s-1960s are small, closed off, and load-bearing in inconvenient places. Opening up a wall in these homes often means adding a beam and checking the seismic implications. We design around that reality from day one. A well-planned layout built by someone who knows Inglewood’s construction stock will save you thousands compared to a layout that ignores it.
We also handle Bathroom Remodeling in Inglewood when a kitchen project turns into a whole-house refresh, which happens more often than you’d think once the plumbing’s already open.

Trusted Brands We Service in Inglewood
We stock and install Schluter systems for waterproofing, Sterling fixtures, and Grohe and GAF products on specific jobs where they fit. We keep a local supply of common Schluter profiles and trim pieces on hand for Inglewood jobs, which means we don’t have to stop work for a week waiting on a specialty part. If you’ve got a brand preference, tell us. If you don’t, we’ll show you what we’d put in our own kitchens and let you decide from there.
Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Inglewood Homes
- Unretrofitted foundations. The Newport-Inglewood Fault is not a hypothetical. Homes built between 1940 and 1965 often lack foundation bolting and cripple-wall bracing. A kitchen remodel is the right moment to address that, since the walls are already open.
- Aging wiring and plumbing. Knob-and-tube, early Romex, and galvanized pipe are common in bungalows across 90310 and 90311. Adding a modern appliance load to 60-year-old wiring is a fire risk. We pull the permit and get it inspected.
- Permit office backlogs. The Hollywood Park/SoFi Stadium buildout has flooded Inglewood’s building department. Submitting complete permit packages with Title 24 and CBC seismic compliance documentation up front is the only reliable way to avoid multi-week delays.
- Moisture damage from marine-layer fog. Inglewood’s coastal humidity means hidden rot around sinks, dishwashers, and windows shows up on almost every gut job. We price remediation into the scope before demolition, not as a surprise change order after.

It can be, and the fault line is a big reason why. Inglewood’s older wood-frame housing stock plus current seismic code compliance and the permit backlog from the Hollywood Park buildout mean a kitchen remodel in 90310 may carry costs that a comparable job in Hawthorne doesn’t. We price the real scope up front, including remediation and permits, so there’s no mystery bill at the end. Estimates are free. Call (877) 610-1318 for a line-item quote.
Yes, on every eligible job. Inglewood’s building department is handling heavy commercial volume right now, so we submit complete Title 24 and CBC seismic documentation from day one to keep your timeline moving. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, and that’s the way it should be. Call (877) 610-1318 if you’ve been told permits are optional. They aren’t.
Every kitchen remodel we complete carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise, written into the contract. If something’s not right, Tom Barrett personally comes back to make it right, one call. No chasing a call center, no ticket numbers. We also offer a Free Second Opinion on any written estimate you’ve received from another contractor. Call (877) 610-1318 and bring us the bid.
