Home Remodeling Contractor in Manhattan Beach

Three numbers most Manhattan Beach clients ask about first: kitchens run $35,000 to $150,000, bathrooms $25,000 to $85,000 and interior remodels $75,000 to $250,000. Also, garage conversions run $140,000 to $200,000, detached ADUs $220,000 to $350,000, additions start at $450 per square foot and custom homes at $650 per square foot. Tight lots and coastal review can also add to a project, and your quote itemizes every cost element. Larger or more complex projects can run higher, and your written estimate confirms the exact price before work begins.

Manhattan Beach schedules follow the work hours the city allows. Kitchens are guaranteed within 28 days, bathrooms take about 3 weeks, garage conversions about 3 to 6 weeks for basic work, ADUs are finished within 3 months of the first day of construction, while a whole-home remodel runs 4 to 6 months. Design, permits and any coastal review come first on larger projects.

Your RnD Builders project manager handles the permitting process. We prepare and submit the required documents and follow up with the Building and Safety Division of Manhattan Beach Community Development, so you do not deal with the paperwork. In addition, permit and plan-check fees vary with the size and scope of your project. They are itemized in your written estimate.

If your property is inside the city's coastal zone, a coastal permit is required unless the project is exempt or excluded. The city issues its own coastal permits under its Local Coastal Program. In addition, where coastal review applies, we manage the submittal and design to its requirements from the start. The city's planners can confirm whether your address is in the zone.

City rules allow construction Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM and Saturday from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Work is not allowed on Sundays or city-observed holidays. We also schedule crews and deliveries around those hours and tell neighbors what to expect.

Yes. We also plan staging, deliveries and crew parking around tight lots and walk-street constraints and keep neighbors informed throughout. Logistics planning is part of our proposal.

Generally yes. Also, manhattan Beach regulates ADUs and junior ADUs under Chapter 10.74 of its municipal code alongside state law. A garage conversion can be a faster route to extra living space. Setbacks and parking rules depend on your lot, so we confirm what fits at the consultation.

Bathrooms generally run $25,000 to $85,000, depending on size, layout changes and finishes. A standard bathroom remodel takes about 3 weeks. We also handle demolition, plumbing and electrical rough-in, waterproofing, tile, custom vanities, glass enclosures and finish carpentry. Larger or more complex projects can run higher, and your written estimate confirms the exact price before work begins.

Kitchens generally run $35,000 to $150,000, depending on size, layout changes, cabinetry and finishes. A kitchen is guaranteed within 28 days. Larger kitchens and premium materials can run higher, while your written estimate confirms the exact price after we see your space.

A custom home typically takes 11 to 20 months from design through construction, with design and planning, permits and any coastal review coming before the build itself. Custom homes start at $650 per square foot, and your project manager keeps you updated at every step.

RnD Builders designs, permits and builds under one roof, with 3D renderings before construction, itemized written proposals and a 5-star Google reputation. In addition, whoever you hire, check for a valid California license, a clear written contract and every required permit. License #1081122 is our California general contractor license, and the CSLB website lets you verify it. California requires a license for any project that needs a permit or totals $1,000 or more, so request the license number from every contractor you consider.

Your estimate is itemized by scope, and permit and plan-check fees are listed in it. We look at access, staging and existing conditions on the first visit, since tight lots can hide extra work. Any change is agreed in writing before it is added, so the project stays in line with the budget agreed in your contract.

Yes. Also, our Manhattan Beach home addition and remodel included a custom front and backyard with modern fencing, a built-in fire pit, an outdoor kitchen and an outdoor shower. Outdoor kitchens generally run $35,000 to $150,000, and we plan the design around your lot and the neighborhood's standards.
