Santa Monica kitchens come in three broad types, and each remodels differently. The 1920s–40s Spanish and Monterey-style homes north of Montana have small, formal kitchens behind thick plaster walls. The post-war bungalows of Sunset Park and Ocean Park have the familiar closed galley on a compact footprint. And the condo and apartment buildings along the Wilshire and Montana corridors add a layer most remodels never see: HOA architectural review, building-management rules for work hours and debris, and shared plumbing and ventilation that constrain what can move where.
American Reliable Construction & Remodeling works in all three. From our Sherman Oaks office we design the layout, specify materials that hold up in a coastal environment — salt air is genuinely hard on hardware, hinges and exterior venting — and manage permitting through the City of Santa Monica Building & Safety Division, including the city’s green-building and water-efficiency requirements.
Condo and multifamily work gets the same design attention as a single-family kitchen, plus the logistics the building demands: certificates of insurance for the HOA, protection of common hallways and elevators, and deliveries and demolition confined to approved windows. We handle that coordination directly with building management so the project does not stall on paperwork after it has started.

Read the cost guideDesign and selections typically take a few weeks; City of Santa Monica plan check — plus HOA review for condos — adds time before construction. Once demolition starts, most Santa Monica kitchens take one to two months, with building work windows shaping the daily schedule in multifamily properties and cabinetry lead times setting the critical path. We order long-lead items before demolition and give you a written, week-by-week schedule before we begin.
“We finally redid the kitchen after years of just working around it. The old cabinets were particle board and starting to fall apart, so we switched to solid plywood boxes with soft close hardware. They paired that with quartz countertops…”
“We recently completed a room addition along with a full roof customization, and the results are amazing. The team was professional, organized, and easy to communicate with throughout the entire project. The new room looks like it has always been part of the house, and the new roof was installed perfectly. Highly recommend their services!”
“I didn't think a bathroom could make that much of a difference until this one was finished. We kept the design pretty timeless with a walk in shower, porcelain tile, and a wood vanity, and it completely changed the feel of the space. It feels cleaner, more open, and just a lot more enjoyable to use every day.”
