Costa Mesa Kitchen Remodeling Crafted for Modern Comfort

Many 1950s and '60s Costa Mesa homes hide the kitchen at the back of the house. We open it up, update the wiring and plumbing, build in custom cabinets and stone, and give you an itemized price up front.

Yanis Remodeling in Costa Mesa

Costa Mesa Kitchens, Planned and Built by One Team

Yanis Remodeling is a family-owned remodeling company based in Irvine, right next door to Costa Mesa. For more than 15 years we've remodeled kitchens across Orange County, in homes of every age.

Those homes are solid and easy to rework, but the kitchen is the weak spot: small, closed off, short on outlets, with untouched plumbing. We take down the wall where it makes sense, update wiring and pipes while the walls are open and connect the kitchen to the house.

One team runs the whole job, from design and permits to the final walkthrough. If a wall is load-bearing, our engineer designs the beam and handles the drawings.

What Works in a Costa Mesa Kitchen

Many Costa Mesa kitchens start from the same place: a mid-century home with a closed kitchen. This is how we plan them.

Open it to the living space

Taking out the wall between the kitchen and the family room is the change that makes the biggest difference in a ranch home. If the wall carries the roof, a beam takes its place.

Plan for more power

Kitchens from the '50s and '60s were wired for fewer appliances. A modern kitchen needs dedicated circuits, more outlets and sometimes a bigger electrical panel. We check yours at the consultation.

Replace old pipes while the walls are open

Original supply and drain lines in older homes are near the end of their life. Replacing them during the remodel costs far less than opening the walls again later.

A style that suits the house

Flat-panel cabinets in walnut or white oak, simple hardware and clean stone suit a mid-century home. A shaker cabinet with a quartz top suits a classic one. Both look right years later.

Light from above

Many ranch homes have one window in the kitchen. Recessed lighting, pendants over the island and under-cabinet lights make up for it.

Costa Mesa homes and what their kitchens usually need

Mesa Verde

single-story ranch and mid-century homes from the '50s to the '70s, many on generous lots. Opening the kitchen, new wiring and plumbing.

Eastside

bungalows, '60s to '80s tract homes and newer infill. Older homes need updating; newer ones need finishes upgraded from builder grade.

College Park and Halecrest

'60s tract homes with simple floor plans. Easy to reconfigure.

Westside

a mix of older single-family homes and newer townhomes. Smart storage in smaller kitchens.

Permits & Approvals

Kitchen Permits in Costa Mesa, Handled

01

City building permit

Kitchen remodels in Costa Mesa are permitted by the City of Costa Mesa Building Safety Division. Moving plumbing, gas or electrical, or removing a wall, needs a permit. We prepare the drawings, submit them and book the inspections.

02

Removing a wall

If the wall is load-bearing, the city needs structural drawings for the new beam. Our engineer prepares them, so you don't have to hire one.

03

Electrical panel upgrades

A bigger panel needs its own permit and, often, coordination with Southern California Edison. We handle both so the kitchen isn't held up waiting on power.

04

Lead and asbestos in older homes

Homes built before 1978 may have lead paint, and old flooring, mastic or popcorn ceilings can contain asbestos. We test suspect materials before demolition and follow lead-safe work rules.

05

Water-saving fixtures

In homes built before 1994, which is most of Costa Mesa, California requires old high-flow plumbing fixtures to be replaced with water-saving ones before a remodel permit is signed off. We include this in the plan and the price.

06

HOA approval

Townhome and condo communities usually need HOA sign-off, especially for work hours and anything visible from outside. We get their requirements early.
