Fast, Reliable Home Remodeling Across Inglewood
Home remodeling in Inglewood runs a very different playbook than in newer parts of Los Angeles County, and the numbers on your estimate will reflect that. A full kitchen remodel here typically lands between $14,000 and $45,000, while a bathroom runs $9,000 to $28,000, and a home addition can stretch from $45,000 to $130,000. Those ranges are wider than you’d see in Culver City or El Segundo because Inglewood’s housing stock is older, with raised foundations and original electrical systems that change the scope once walls come open. We plan for that from day one, not as an afterthought. Call (803) 680-2547 to talk through your project, and we’ll give you a written price before any work starts.
Why Mason Remodeling Is Inglewood’s Preferred Home Remodeling Company
We’ve worked on enough Inglewood homes to know that the city’s pre-1940s bungalows off Manchester Boulevard and around Morningside Park carry a specific set of conditions. Raised foundations settle. Knob-and-tube wiring hides behind plaster walls. Subfloors rot under cabinet runs that looked fine from above. A remodeler who hasn’t opened walls in this housing stock will give you a low number and then surprise you with change orders. We give you a written price that accounts for what we expect to find, and we explain in plain language what could change it and why.
The Threshold Standard is how every Mason Remodeling crew operates in Inglewood. Before we send anyone to your home, you get the technician’s name and photo. At the door, they wear a clean marked uniform and show a photo ID badge. You’ll never wonder who’s walking up your driveway. Isaac Pruett leads our team, and he holds to one rule on every job: written price before any work starts, and a written guarantee on everything we complete.
Our Home Remodeling team has handled kitchens, baths, additions, and ADUs throughout Inglewood, from the neighborhoods near Hollywood Park down to the blocks south of Century Boulevard. Homeowners here consistently tell us the same thing: the estimate was honest, the crew was verified, and the work held up. The 365-Day Done Right Promise backs that up. If something isn’t right within a year of completion, we make it right at no cost to you.
Styles & brands we work with
Home Remodeling Contractor in Inglewood
A Home Remodeling Contractor in Inglewood does more than swap finishes. On an older home here, the job often starts with what’s behind the walls. We pull permits, coordinate inspections with the Inglewood Building Division, and sequence the work so your kitchen or bath comes back online as quickly as the city’s plan-check schedule allows. For a kitchen remodel, expect $14,000 to $45,000. A small kitchen runs $9,000 to $20,000. A bathroom starts around $9,000 and can reach $28,000 for larger footprints with custom tile work.
What We Handle On-Site
We carry general contracting, bathroom remodeling, and whole-home remodeling as core services. That means one crew handles the framing, the electrical rough-in coordination, the subfloor repairs, the cabinetry install, and the finish work. You’re not juggling three subcontractors who don’t talk to each other. The material partners we use, KraftMaid for cabinetry and Silestone for counters, ship direct through our supply channels, which keeps the schedule moving.
Permits and Inspections
Inglewood requires inspection sign-off on framing, electrical, and plumbing before walls close. We don’t skip this step. Unpermitted work creates resale problems and financing issues later, and we’ll tell you that straight. Our crew handles the permit application, the plan-check follow-ups, and the inspection scheduling. If the city’s plan-check turnaround pushes your rough-in back a week, we’ll tell you that before you sign, not after.
Home Renovation in Inglewood
Home Renovation in Inglewood is a different animal than a quick refresh. Renovation means bringing an older home up to current code while improving how it lives, and in Inglewood that frequently means addressing knob-and-tube wiring, undersized electrical panels, and pier-and-beam foundation issues before the pretty stuff happens. A full home renovation here can run from the cost of a large addition, $45,000 to $130,000, down to a targeted bath or kitchen update in the $9,000 to $28,000 range, depending on what’s behind the drywall.
Older Home Considerations
Homes built before 1940 dominate parts of Inglewood, and many sit on raised foundations rather than slabs. That means subfloor repairs are common, and load-bearing wall changes require an engineer’s letter before we touch a stud. We budget for these realities upfront. When our crew remodeled a kitchen near 74th Street in Morningside Park, a 1920s bungalow had original knob-and-tube wiring and a soft subfloor under the cabinet run. We pulled permits, upgraded the circuits, repaired the subfloor, and installed KraftMaid cabinetry with a Silestone countertop. The electrical upgrade added to the change order once the walls opened, but the owner passed inspection on the first walkthrough.
What Renovation Includes
Renovation covers structural repairs, electrical and plumbing upgrades, flooring, window replacement, door replacement, basement finishing where the foundation allows, and full kitchen and bath rebuilds. We set a realistic calendar from the start. Inglewood’s plan-check turnarounds can add weeks before rough-in begins on larger projects like garage conversions or additions. We’d rather tell you the honest timeline than promise something the city won’t allow.
Trusted Brands We Service in Inglewood
We keep stock access to professional-grade materials for Inglewood jobs, which helps when a homeowner wants a specific look without waiting on a long lead time. Our cabinetry lines include KraftMaid and Wellborn. Countertop partners are Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone. For fixtures, we work with Kohler, Moen, Toto, and Grohe. When you’re planning a kitchen island or a full bath, telling us which brands you want early means we can quote you an accurate number instead of a placeholder. For structural and foundation work, we use specification-grade products like Sakrete where the job calls for it.

AfterCommon Home Remodeling Problems We See in Inglewood Homes
- Hidden knob-and-tube wiring. Inglewood’s pre-1940s homes frequently have original electrical systems that surface during demo. If the wiring is still active, code requires replacement before walls close, and that’s a change order your initial scope won’t cover unless the remodeler planned for it.
- Raised foundation subfloor rot. Pier-and-beam foundations are common in Inglewood, and the crawlspace moisture means subfloor boards under kitchens and baths rot faster than on slab homes. A cabinet install can turn into a subfloor repair job once the old flooring comes up.
- Undersized electrical panels. Older Inglewood homes often have 60-amp or 100-amp panels that can’t support modern kitchen loads. Adding a fridge, microwave, and dishwasher circuit can trip the need for a panel upgrade, which adds real cost and requires a separate inspection.
- Unpermitted prior work. We regularly find additions or garage conversions in Inglewood that were done without permits years ago. If you’re renovating one of those spaces now, the city will want the framing, electrical, and plumbing inspected, which changes the scope and the calendar before your remodel even starts.

FAQs About Home Remodeling in Inglewood
Yes, you need a permit for any remodel that touches electrical, plumbing, framing, or load-bearing walls in Inglewood. The city’s Building Division requires inspection sign-off on framing, electrical, and plumbing before walls close. We pull all permits for you and schedule the inspections. Budget for plan-check turnaround time, which can add weeks before rough-in begins on larger projects like additions or garage conversions. Call (803) 680-2547 if you want us to check your specific scope against current city requirements.
A home addition in Inglewood runs $45,000 to $130,000, depending on square footage, foundation condition, and whether your existing electrical panel can handle the new load. Older homes here with 60-amp panels often need an electrical upgrade as part of the addition, and pier-and-beam foundations may require additional pier work before framing starts. That’s part of why the range is wide. Call (803) 680-2547 and we’ll give you a written number for your specific addition.
An ADU, or accessory dwelling unit, is a secondary housing unit on a single-family lot, either attached, detached, or converted from an existing garage. Inglewood permits ADUs under California state law, but the city’s plan-check and inspection process still applies to framing, electrical, and plumbing. ADU construction here runs $90,000 to $220,000 for a new build, and garage conversions run $30,000 to $80,000. We handle the permits, the engineering, and the entire build. Call (803) 680-2547 to discuss your lot’s feasibility.
A kitchen or bathroom remodel in Inglewood typically runs 4 to 10 weeks from start to finish, including permits and inspections. Larger projects like additions or ADUs run 3 to 8 months depending on plan-check timing, foundation work, and material lead times. The city’s plan-check turnaround is the variable most homeowners don’t expect, and it can add weeks before rough-in begins. We give you a calendar up front and update it as inspections clear. Call (803) 680-2547 for a timeline specific to your project.
Three things change the price mid-job in Inglewood more than anything else: knob-and-tube wiring found behind walls, rotted subfloor under old flooring, and undersized electrical panels that can’t handle new circuits. Each of those is common in pre-1940s homes here, and each triggers a written change order with a specific number before we proceed. We may also uncover previously unpermitted work that the city requires inspected. None of these are surprises we don’t anticipate, and we’ll flag the risk before you sign. Call (803) 680-2547 to talk through your home’s specific risk profile.
