A whole-home renovation in Los Angeles takes 4 to 12 months of construction depending on scope. You'll need to relocate for gut renovations or live in completed sections during phased work.
Site assessment, architectural design, engineering (if structural), material selections, budget finalization. This is the foundation — rushing design leads to costly change orders.
LADBS plan submission and review. Simultaneously: order cabinets (6-8 week lead), windows (4-6 weeks), specialty items. NP Line Design overlaps procurement with permitting to save time.
Strip to studs (gut renovation) or selective demo (phased). Structural modifications: wall removal, foundation repair, beam installation. This is when hidden issues surface — budget 10-15% contingency.
New electrical (200-amp panel, dedicated circuits), plumbing (PEX repipe), HVAC (new ducts or mini-splits), insulation (Title 24 compliant). Rough inspections before closing walls.
Drywall, texture, prime. Tile work (showers, floors, backsplashes). Cabinet installation throughout. Countertop templating and fabrication.
Flooring (hardwood, tile, LVP), painting, trim/millwork, countertop installation, appliances, fixture installation, hardware.
Final electrical/plumbing connections, final paint, cleaning, landscaping, final LADBS inspection, punch list walkthrough, and handover. Move-in preparation.
For gut renovations: yes, plan to relocate for 4-8 months. For phased renovations: you can potentially stay by living in completed sections. NP Line Design creates phased schedules when clients want to remain on-site.
