(424) 369-0310 — one number, answered around the clock for remodeling consultations, whether you're ready to gut a Brentwood kitchen or just want a straight answer before committing to anything. Brentwood Kitchen Remodel And Bath Co works out of 12200 Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90049, and Tal and Ari run design-build projects across Brentwood, Bel-Air, Westwood, Pacific Palisades and the wider Westside. Below is what actually happens on the call, how the free consultation works, what's worth having ready, and how far the coverage reaches.
The First Call, and the Free Consultation
The phone gets answered by Tal, Ari or a member of their design team — not a recorded menu steering the call toward voicemail. That first exchange runs quick: what you're thinking of remodeling, which of Brentwood, Bel-Air, Westwood or Pacific Palisades the property sits in, and a rough read on scope and timeline. From there a free in-home consultation gets booked — a walk of the space, measurements, and an honest read on anything the address will affect. Nothing gets priced standing in the driveway; the consultation is where the design-build process actually starts, well before any number reaches you in writing.
What to Have Ready Before You Call
No plans or spec sheet needed — a rough idea is genuinely enough — but a few things speed the conversation along. The address matters most, because the fire-hazard, hillside-grading and Coastal Zone overlays all follow directly from it: a Bel-Air estate reached through the East Gate or West Gate off Sunset Boulevard reads completely differently from a Pacific Palisades parcel near Pacific Coast Highway or Temescal Canyon Road. Past that, it helps to know roughly which rooms are in play, whether an ADU or an addition is on the table, and any timeline driving the decision. If a property manager, an HOA, or a building-management office needs to sign off — common for Westwood condos and Wilshire-corridor units — mention it up front, and the consultation gets scheduled around whoever has to approve the work.
How the Design-Build Process Runs, Start to Finish
A remodel here runs in a fixed order, and the order is the whole point. Consultation comes first — free, no obligation, no pitch. Then a 3D design, so you can actually see the finished kitchen, bath or addition before committing to it. Then a written scope with a fixed price, agreed on paper before demolition starts. Then the build, with permits pulled and inspections run by the team. Because design and construction sit under one contract with Tal and Ari, the two people who priced your project are the same two people accountable for what gets built — which matters most on Brentwood canyon lots and Bel-Air hillside estates, where a wall opened for a remodel routinely reveals decades of prior work behind it.
Permits, Fire Zones and the Coastal Zone Are Confirmed Up Front
Pulling permits is part of the job, not something handed back to you mid-project. Brentwood, Bel-Air, Westwood and Pacific Palisades are all City of Los Angeles neighborhoods, so every permit runs through the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety under the California Building Standards Code (Title 24) and CALGreen — one jurisdiction, not four. What changes address to address is the overlay: hillside and grading rules and Chapter 7A fire-hardening across Brentwood's canyons and all of Bel-Air, and for Pacific Palisades parcels near the coast, a Coastal Development Permit that can bring in California Coastal Commission review. Tal and Ari confirm which of these applies to your specific parcel at the consultation, so the rules shape the plan instead of surprising the schedule three weeks in.
The Areas We Serve
- Brentwood (90049) — canyon-adjacent estates up Mandeville, Sullivan and Kenter Canyons, our home ground
- Bel-Air (90077) — gated hillside estates in the Santa Monica Mountains, reached via the East Gate and West Gate
- Westwood (90024, 90025) — Holmby Hills estates alongside Wilshire-corridor condominiums near UCLA
- Pacific Palisades (90272) — coastal-canyon homes, a large share in active rebuild after the January 2025 fire
Santa Monica and the broader Westside are also within reach beyond that core coverage. If your address sits just outside it, mention that on the call and coverage gets confirmed before anything is booked.
Why a Written Scope Beats a Verbal Number
A remodel is too large a commitment to run on a handshake figure. On a Westside home — a Brentwood canyon estate, a Bel-Air hillside property, a Pacific Palisades house mid-rebuild — the honest scope only becomes clear once the space is measured and the design worked out, which is exactly why the price goes in writing after that step rather than before it. That written scope is yours to accept or decline with no obligation, and once it's agreed, that's what gets built and billed — nothing added quietly to the invoice once work is underway.

Frequently Asked Questions
If I call (424) 369-0310 right now, who actually answers?
Tal or Ari, or a member of their design team — a real person on the line, not a phone tree that dumps you to voicemail once it's past 6pm. The line is answered around the clock for remodeling consultations, so an evening or weekend call gets the same response as one made mid-morning. The first exchange is short: what you're picturing remodeling, roughly where the home sits — Brentwood, Bel-Air, Westwood or Pacific Palisades — and a general sense of scope and timeline, before a free in-home consultation gets booked around your schedule rather than a generic slot.
What should I have ready before I call?
The address matters most of everything, because it decides which fire-hazard and hillside-grading overlays apply and whether a Coastal Development Permit even comes into play for a Pacific Palisades parcel near Pacific Coast Highway or Temescal Canyon Road. Beyond that, a plain description of the project helps — kitchen, bathroom, an ADU, new flooring, or a whole-home reset — plus a rough sense of timeline and whether you own the home outright or manage it for someone else. None of it is required to start the conversation; Tal and Ari would rather walk through the specifics on the call than have you prepare a formal brief first.
Is the in-home consultation genuinely free, and what happens at it?
Yes — no cost, and no obligation to hire the firm afterward. Tal or Ari walks the property with you, takes measurements and photos, listens to what the finished kitchen, bath or addition needs to do, and flags anything the address will affect: a load-bearing wall, a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone designation, a Coastal Zone boundary. From there the project moves to a 3D design and a written scope, so what you're approving is a drawing and a fixed number, not a verbal estimate given standing in the driveway.
How long from the first call to a written, fixed-price estimate?
It depends on scope, but the order never changes: free consultation first, then design, then a written number — never a figure quoted on the spot. A tub-to-shower conversion or a straightforward bathroom remodel moves through that faster than a home addition or a ground-up ADU, which need more design and engineering time to price honestly. Tal and Ari would rather take the extra week to scope a hillside or fire-zone lot properly than hand over a number that grows once the crew opens a wall, and they'll give you a realistic estimate timeline at the consultation itself.
Which neighborhoods and ZIP codes does the company cover?
The home base is 12200 Sunset Blvd in Los Angeles, and standard coverage runs Brentwood (90049), Bel-Air (90077), Westwood (90024 and 90025) and Pacific Palisades (90272), with Santa Monica and the broader Westside also within reach. All four core neighborhoods are permitted through the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety, so the jurisdiction doesn't change address to address the way it does moving between separate cities. What does change is the fire-zone, hillside-grading or Coastal Zone overlay layered on top of that base permit, and that gets confirmed from your specific address before design begins.
Do you handle the permits, or is that on me?
Pulling permits is part of the service, not a task handed back to the homeowner. Every project runs through LADBS under the California Building Standards Code (Title 24) and CALGreen, and on hillside or canyon lots across Brentwood and Bel-Air that also means confirming grading and Chapter 7A fire-hardening requirements before drawings are finalized. Pacific Palisades parcels near the coast can add a Coastal Development Permit and California Coastal Commission review, and Tal and Ari check all of it against your parcel up front so it shapes the design instead of stalling the job at plan check.
Can you tell me whether my lot can actually support an ADU?
That's one of the first things assessed at the free consultation, because California's ADU laws made backyard units far easier to build in principle, but the details still turn on your specific lot — setbacks, lot coverage, existing garage footprint, and utility access. Tal and Ari will give you a straight read on what size and type of unit is realistic for a Brentwood, Bel-Air or Westwood lot before you spend anything on a full design. If the parcel genuinely can't support one comfortably, they'll say so plainly rather than sell a design that fights the lot all the way through LADBS permitting.
I manage a rental or a property for someone else — can you still work with me?
Yes — a real share of Westside remodeling work is done for owners who don't live in the home, from a managed Westwood condo near the Wilshire corridor to a Brentwood rental. Mentioning the arrangement on the call speeds things along, especially if there's a tenant, an HOA, or a building-management sign-off in the picture — a condo remodel near Westwood Village routinely needs that extra layer of approval that a single-family Brentwood or Bel-Air lot doesn't. Give the property address and the access situation, and the consultation gets built around whoever needs to be looped in.
Does calling at night actually reach someone, or does it go to voicemail?
It reaches someone. The line is genuinely staffed around the clock for consultation calls, so if the only time you get to think through a remodel is after 10pm, that's a perfectly normal time to call. Most late calls are used to describe the project and book a daytime in-home visit rather than to handle anything urgent, and that's exactly how the hours are meant to be used — the published hours are the hours the phone is actually answered, not a claim that quietly routes evening calls to a machine.
Can I visit the office at 12200 Sunset Blvd?
That's the company's address — 12200 Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90049 — though nearly all contact happens by phone and at your property, since a kitchen or bath remodel is designed and built at your address rather than over a counter. It's useful to have on file for paperwork, or to confirm this is a genuine local operation before booking anything. For a specific project, calling (424) 369-0310 and setting up an in-home consultation moves things along faster than stopping by.
What's the single fastest way to get a project actually moving?
Call (424) 369-0310 and describe what you're picturing — a rough idea is enough to start, no plans required. Tal or Ari will ask a few questions, confirm your address falls inside the service area, and book a free in-home consultation, which is where the design-build process genuinely begins rather than where a sales pitch starts. From there it runs in a fixed order — consultation, 3D design, written scope, build — with the price agreed on paper before anyone touches a wall.
