From cosmetic refreshes to full custom gut renovations, TrioTimber designs, permits, and builds kitchens across Greater Los Angeles and Orange County — with transparent tiered pricing, a dedicated project manager, and a 1-Year Workmanship Warranty on everything we touch.
Free consultation. No obligation. Response within one business day.
The kitchen is the most expensive room in the house to get wrong. The difference between a remodel you love and one you regret almost always comes down to who you hired — and whether they planned for the things that derail most projects.
You're left with a gutted kitchen, no working stove, and a contractor who stops returning calls. We work to a written, scope-defined contract with a dedicated project manager from day one.
Hidden plumbing, outdated wiring, or rot behind the cabinets become “change orders” that balloon the price. We inspect, plan, and itemize up front so the number you approve is the number you pay.
Moving a sink or a wall without a permit can fail inspection, void insurance, and stall a future sale. As a licensed GC, we pull every required permit and pass every inspection.
Cheap cabinets and rushed tile work don't survive daily use. We build with quality materials and craftsmanship backed by a 1-Year Workmanship Warranty.
It's the most important question for your budget and your timeline — because it determines whether your project needs city permits and inspections. Here's the honest difference.
Not sure which one you need? That's exactly what our free consultation is for.
As a licensed general contractor (CSLB #1115717), TrioTimber manages the entire permit and inspection
process for you — so a remodel never becomes a code-compliance problem.

We believe in radical transparency. Most contractors hide their numbers — we'll show you ours. Kitchen projects in Greater LA and Orange County generally fall into three investment tiers.
* Baseline estimates based on typical Greater LA & Orange County market data for planning purposes only. Your exact investment is confirmed in a written, itemized proposal after a free on-site evaluation. Final pricing varies by kitchen size, material selections, structural scope, and your city's permit requirements.
Prefabricated (stock) cabinets are the most budget-friendly and ship in standard sizes. Semi-custom adds finish and size options. Fully custom, made-to-order cabinetry is built to your exact kitchen — the single biggest swing in a kitchen budget, often a difference of tens of thousands of dollars.
Keeping the existing footprint keeps costs down. Moving a sink, gas line, or appliance — or removing a wall — means relocating plumbing and electrical and triggers a city plan check, structural engineering, and inspections. It's worth it for the right kitchen, but it changes the number.
Laminate, butcher block, quartz, and natural stone span a wide price range. The same is true for tile, flooring, and fixtures. We help you allocate budget where it shows — and where it lasts.
Older LA & OC homes often hide outdated wiring, galvanized plumbing, or water damage. We inspect before we quote so these are planned for — not billed later as surprise change orders.
You can always find someone cheaper. What you can't always find is a licensed contractor whose price includes full permit management, a dedicated project manager who answers the phone, build-to-inspection quality, and a warranty that means something. A kitchen is an investment in your home's value and your daily life — we price it to be done once, and done right.

Prefer a different style or finish? From semi-custom to fully custom, made-to-order cabinetry, your dedicated project manager walks you through door styles, materials, and finishes at your free consultation.
One licensed team from the first measurement to the final inspection, so nothing falls through the cracks between a designer, a contractor, and the city.
We measure, assess what's behind the walls, and talk through your vision — at no cost and with no sales pressure.
A clear, line-item scope and price — so you know exactly what you're investing in before any demo begins.
If your remodel needs a permit, we handle the plan check submission, corrections, and city coordination for you.
A dedicated project manager runs the build to code, keeps you updated, and passes every required inspection.
We don't call it done until you're satisfied — and our work is backed for a full year.
We'd rather be honest now than waste your time later. We're not the right builder for every project — and that's on purpose. You may want a different contractor if:
We're not the cheapest quote you'll get, and we won't pretend to be. Our work is custom millwork and full-service remodeling built to last decades, priced accordingly. If you're choosing purely on price, another builder will serve you better.
Our custom kitchen and bathroom remodels start at a $15,000 total investment, and detached ADUs start at $150,000. If your budget is well under that, we'll tell you honestly rather than value-engineer your project into something we're not proud of.
A full remodel runs 8–12 weeks from demolition to final inspection, with design and permitting before that. If your deadline can't move, we may not be able to help without cutting corners we won't cut.
We stand behind our work because we control the whole chain — our people, our millwork, our standards. If you're looking for labor-only or a builder to assemble parts you've sourced, we're not a match.
We're an excellent fit if you value craftsmanship over the cheapest number, you want one accountable team from design through final walkthrough, and you'd rather do it once and do it right. If that's you, book your free consultation.
Answer a few quick questions and a member of our team will reach you within one business day with next steps and a free on-site evaluation.
