AfterFast, Reliable Kitchen Remodeling Across Redondo Beach
A full kitchen remodel in Redondo Beach typically runs $14,000 to $45,000, with smaller projects like cabinet refacing or countertop replacement landing between $2,000 and $13,000. If you live in the 90277 or 90278 ZIP and you’re standing in a kitchen that hasn’t changed since the Reagans were in office, you already know the problem: the salt air off Santa Monica Bay has been working on your hinges, your drawer slides, and your patience for years. We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, and we’ve been pulling permits and rebuilding kitchens across the South Bay long enough to know exactly what your house is dealing with. We also handle Redondo Beach Windows & Doors projects for homeowners facing the same coastal conditions. Call us at (877) 610-1318 and we’ll come out, walk the space, and give you numbers in writing before anything gets demolished.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Redondo Beach’s Preferred Kitchen Remodeling Company
Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and he still answers his own phone. That matters in Redondo Beach because so many homeowners here have already been through the wringer with an out-of-area contractor who quoted one number on the phone and handed them a different bill after the cabinets were torn out. We don’t do that. Tom’s sons run the crews, and every scope change, every allowance adjustment, every surprise behind the drywall gets documented as a written change order before work proceeds. The allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date, and we don’t deal in surprises.
Our Kitchen Remodeling team has worked in homes from the Avenues up through the hills south of Torrance Boulevard, and we understand the two different worlds inside 90277 and 90278. Coastal homes near the Esplanade fight corrosion and Coastal Commission review. Inland homes in 90278, many of them post-war stucco builds from the 1950s and 1960s, fight outdated layouts and plumbing that predates modern appliance demands. Either way, permits get pulled, inspections get signed, and the work gets backed by our written 90-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not right, Tom comes back and makes it right, one call.
Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in Redondo Beach
Full Kitchen Remodeling
We gut and rebuild kitchens from the studs out, handling framing, electrical, plumbing, drywall, flooring, cabinetry, counters, and lighting. In Redondo Beach, a full remodel means dealing with whatever’s hiding behind walls that have been absorbing marine moisture for 60 years. Our team sizes the venting, reworks the electrical to handle modern induction and double ovens, and makes sure the layout works for how you actually cook, not how a magazine staged it. Expect $14,000 to $45,000 depending on scope, and expect every number in writing before demo day.
Cabinets & Countertops
We install KraftMaid and other name-brand cabinetry, and we fabricate quartz and granite counters that hold up to the humidity and salt air near the coast. Cabinet installation alone in Redondo Beach runs $4,000 to $13,000, and countertop installation typically lands between $2,000 and $6,500. We measure, order, and install with an eye toward soft-close hardware and full-extension drawers, because nothing fails faster in a coastal kitchen than cheap drawer slides.
Backsplash, Tile & Flooring
Backsplash installation in Redondo Beach runs $800 to $2,500, and we recommend porcelain or glass tile that shrugs off the grease and steam of daily cooking. Tile and flooring work depends on the material you choose, but we’ll steer you toward products that perform in a marine climate, where cheap grout and unsealed natural stone can absorb moisture and fail early. We’ll set a realistic schedule and keep the dust contained, which matters when your neighbor’s patio is fifteen feet from your kitchen window.
Kitchen Design & Layout
Redondo Beach kitchens come in a few distinct shapes: tight galley kitchens in older 1950s bungalows, L-shaped spaces in 1960s stucco traditional homes, and larger open-plan kitchens in newer builds near the water. We design around the actual footprint, moving plumbing and electrical only when it pays for itself in usability. Some kitchens on the sand side of the city have load-bearing considerations tied to soft-story framing, so we bring in engineers when the wall you want gone is doing more work than it looks like.

Trusted Brands We Service in Redondo Beach
We install materials you can look up, not mystery brands off a van. Our crews work regularly with KraftMaid and Cambria in kitchens, and on related exterior work across Redondo Beach we carry Belgard and Techo-Bloc hardscape products and GAF roofing systems. Because we’re serving Redondo Beach and the surrounding South Bay, we keep local stock relationships with regional suppliers, which means shorter lead times on cabinet orders and countertop slabs than a contractor driving in from the Valley can offer.
Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Redondo Beach Homes
- Corroded hinges and drawer slides. The marine layer and salt-laden wind off Santa Monica Bay eat cheap hardware in a few years. We spec marine-grade stainless and coated hardware as standard, not as an upgrade.
- Outdated 1950s and 1960s layouts. Most post-war stucco homes in 90278 were built with closed-off kitchens that don’t work for modern living. We open sightlines and reposition appliances without compromising the seismic bracing behind those walls.
- Coastal Commission complications. If your home sits in the coastal 90277 ZIP within the California Coastal Commission jurisdiction, a kitchen remodel that touches exterior walls or window openings may need state review on top of city permits. We handle that paperwork, and we don’t let it surprise you mid-project.
- Water intrusion behind cabinets. Coastal humidity and older plumbing converge on the sink wall. We inspect and replace water-damaged framing when we open the wall, and we document it with photos and a written change order before we rebuild.

Yes. We work regularly with the California Coastal Commission on projects in the 90277 coastal zone, and we prepare the documentation, submit the applications, and walk the process through to approval. That second layer of review can extend timelines by months, and we’d rather tell you that on day one than let you find out after demo. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll talk through what your specific property will need.
