What a Full Kitchen Remodel Includes

A full remodel means the kitchen comes out and a new one goes in. Everything below is inside our scope, and we self-perform or directly supervise all of it.

• Demolition and disposal. Cabinets, counters, flooring, backsplash and appliances out, with dust containment and floor protection through the path of travel.
• Structural work. Removing a wall, installing a flush or dropped beam, reframing an opening, widening a doorway.
• Plumbing. Relocating the sink, adding a pot filler, running a line for a filtered tap or a second prep sink. In slab homes this means saw-cutting and repouring concrete.
• Electrical. New dedicated circuits, GFCI and AFCI protection, under-cabinet lighting, recessed cans, island power, and panel upgrades where the existing service will not carry the load.
• HVAC and ventilation. Ducted range hoods sized in CFM to the cooktop, with makeup air where a high-output hood would otherwise depressurize a tight house.
• Cabinetry. Framed or frameless boxes, set level and plumb, with soft-close hinges, full-extension slides, lazy Susan corner units and blind-corner pull-outs.
• Countertops. On-site templating of the installed cabinets, fabrication, sink cutout, edge profile and installation.
• Backsplash, flooring, paint and trim.
• Appliance installation, punch list and final inspection.

The Layouts We Rebuild Most Often

Palm Springs housing skews toward compact post-war floor plans. The Alexander Construction Company alone built roughly 2,200 homes here between 1947 and 1965, and most of those kitchens were closed galleys built for a 1955 appliance set.

• Galley to peninsula. The cheapest way to gain counter space when the wall has to stay.
• Galley to open concept. Removing the wall to the great room. This is the most requested change we do, and it is the one that needs a beam and a permit. See our open concept kitchen conversions.
• L-shape with an island. Works well in the 1,600 square foot post-and-beam Twin Palms homes where the ceiling is the feature.
• U-shape rebuild in place. Same footprint, new everything. Fastest schedule and the lowest cost per visible improvement.

Full Kitchen Remodel Cost in Palm Springs

National cost data puts a full kitchen remodel at $15,000 to $50,000, or roughly $150 to $250 per square foot, with redesigns that move walls running $50,000 to $70,000 and beyond. Palm Springs sits in the upper half of that range for two specific reasons: slab-on-grade construction makes plumbing moves expensive, and a lot of the housing stock needs its electrical brought current before a single cabinet is hung.

Where the money actually goes, based on typical budget allocation: cabinets 25 percent, labor 15 percent, appliances 15 percent, countertops and backsplash 10 percent, flooring 7 percent, lighting 5 percent, design 5 percent, paint and drywall 5 percent, sink and faucet 5 percent, plumbing 3 percent.

What moves the number:

• Cabinet decision. Refacing runs $5,000 to $13,000 against $4,500 to $15,000 for new boxes. Custom sizes and specialty species push past that.
• Countertop material. Granite installs at $40 to $100 per square foot. Quartz at $60 to $150. Quartzite reaches $250. Marble goes past $190 and needs resealing every few years.
• Whether anything moves. Keeping the sink, range and refrigerator where they are can save five figures on a slab home.
• Panel capacity. A 100 amp panel serving a modern induction range, a wall oven and a high-CFM hood usually needs upgrading.
• Structural. Load-bearing wall removal runs $4,000 to $15,000 depending on span and what is in the wall.
• Permits. $500 to $1,500 through the City of Palm Springs.

A full kitchen remodel typically returns 50 to 70 percent of its cost at resale, which is worth knowing in a city where many homes sit empty for part of the year and a large share of owners are holding second homes.

Our Process, Week by Week

Six to ten weeks from demolition to final is normal. We tell you at the estimate which parts of your job are likely to stretch, because a schedule surprise in week five is a contractor's failure, not a homeowner's.

What Makes a Desert Remodel Different

Palm Springs sees 114.8 afternoons a year at or above 100 degrees and 176.6 at or above 90, with summer overnight lows that often stay above 80. Materials get specified accordingly. Cabinet finishes and adhesives that survive a coastal climate delaminate here. Silicone and caulk selection matters at slab seams. And when you open a wall between the kitchen and a great room with floor-to-ceiling glass, the cooling load changes, so the HVAC gets checked rather than assumed.

The calendar is inverted, too. The city fills up between November and March as snowbirds arrive, so most owners schedule demolition for April through October while the house is empty. February, ahead of Modernism Week and its home tours, is the hardest deadline on our calendar. Book either one early.

If your home is a designated Class 1 historic site or sits in a historic district, the Historic Site Preservation Board may need to review the work. We flag that at the estimate and handle the submittal. Confirm your property's designation with the City of Palm Springs.

Why Homeowners Hire Us for Full Remodels

• Licensed and insured. $5 million in general liability. Certificate on request before work starts.
• Written scope, fixed price. Change orders only when you request a change, priced in writing first.
• We keep the desert modern intact. Slab and flat-panel doors, post-and-beam ceilings, clerestory glass. A kitchen in a Wexler or Krisel house should still read as one when we leave.
• Absentee-owner workflow. Lockbox access, dated photo updates at every milestone, written email approvals. Standard, not a favor.
• Local slab yards. Palm Desert and Cathedral City, so you pick the actual stone.
