Girl Flip plans, permits and builds kitchens in Pacific Palisades, from remodels of homes that came through untouched to new kitchens in rebuilds after the January 2025 fire.
The Palisades is a coastal community of character homes and beautiful settings, and it is going through a long period of rebuilding and restoring after the January 2025 Palisades Fire. A good share of our current work here is rebuild-related, alongside standard remodels for homes that came through untouched.
A kitchen means different things in each case. In a home that survived, it is usually about fixing a closed layout, a tired set of cabinets or a floor plan that does not open to the outdoors. In a rebuild, it is a blank page, and the choices you make early on, such as appliances, cabinet lead times and the size of the island, shape the whole house.
Girl Flip is a licensed, women-led, family-owned contractor, and kitchens are our specialty. We handle the layout, cabinets, counters, tile, flooring, lighting, plumbing and electrical, and the permits, so you deal with one team.
Planning the whole home? See our Pacific Palisades home remodeling page. The citywide kitchen remodeling service page covers our full scope.
Every Palisades kitchen is scoped in writing after a walkthrough. These are the jobs we plan most often here.
In a new build, we help you choose and order cabinets, counters and appliances early, since lead times set the schedule. We coordinate with your architect and builder so the rough plumbing, gas and electrical match the final plan.
Explore →Large sliding or folding doors, a pass-through window and an island that faces the yard are common asks in a coastal home. We plan the structure and the flooring transition together.
Salt air is hard on some finishes. We help you choose faucets, hardware and lighting that hold up, and cabinet and counter materials that handle humidity.
Explore →Bungalows, mid-century homes and Spanish-style houses often have a separate kitchen. We open it to the dining and living areas when the structure allows.
Explore →Built-in refrigerators, gas ranges and larger hoods change the venting, gas line and electrical load. We confirm specs before the cabinets are ordered.
Explore →Quartz and stone counters, handmade or large-format tile, and wide-plank floors that run through the open living space.
Explore →Pacific Palisades is part of the City of Los Angeles, so kitchen permits come from LADBS. Moving walls, relocating plumbing, adding circuits or changing a gas line generally needs a permit. Swapping cabinets and counters in place often does not.
The Palisades also sits within the California Coastal Zone. Some projects, depending on location and scope, need a Coastal Development Permit in addition to standard city review. We work out what applies to your property early and manage both.
Many Palisades streets are narrow or steep, and some are still busy with construction. We plan deliveries, parking and debris removal early, so cabinets and stone slabs reach the house without holding up the schedule.
If you are rebuilding, your kitchen choices should be made in step with your plans and your builder. We are glad to work alongside the rest of your team.

A kitchen remodel starts with a discovery call and a walkthrough, then a written scope and estimate. Design and selections usually take 2 to 4 weeks, and permit review runs 2 to 8 weeks or more when a permit applies. Demo takes 2 to 5 days, and the full project usually runs about 3 to 5 months from signed contract to final walkthrough. Cabinet and appliance lead times drive the schedule, so we order early.

We have built in Pacific Palisades itself. A full gut bathroom there got an extended footprint and a palette of pastels and gold, with custom tile and curated fixtures. For Carnie Wilson, we gutted a 400-square-foot kitchen to the studs, reconfigured the cabinets around a 72-inch built-in refrigerator and opened a passthrough to the dining room.
The photos below show finished kitchens from our portfolio.
Most mid-range kitchen remodels in Los Angeles start in the $50K to $100K range, and larger or high-end kitchens move well past that. These are general market ranges, not a quote. Your number depends on layout changes, cabinet type, counters, appliances and what we find behind the walls. Our remodel cost guide breaks it down.
Premium appliance packages, stone and custom cabinets commonly push a Palisades kitchen toward the upper end of any range. In a rebuild, your kitchen cost is part of a larger construction budget, and we can price it separately so you can plan.
