Marina del Rey is one of the most distinctive remodeling markets in greater Los Angeles. Governed by LA County rather than the City of LA, fully within the California Coastal Zone, and home to a mix of premium waterfront properties and contemporary condominiums, Marina del Rey demands a contractor with specific jurisdictional expertise and coastal design experience. APLA Construction (CA Lic #1136359) handles home remodeling projects throughout Marina del Rey with full LA County Building and Safety and Coastal Zone experience.
Marina del Rey kitchen remodels emphasize contemporary coastal design: clean lines, integrated appliances, large windows framing marina or ocean views, and indoor-outdoor connection to exterior entertaining areas. Custom cabinetry in white painted or warm-oak finish, professional appliances, waterfall island, and designer tile define the high end of the Marina del Rey kitchen market.
Spa-quality primary bathrooms and guest bath updates are the highest-volume remodeling project in Marina del Rey. Outdoor shower integration, humidity-resistant coastal materials, and contemporary fixtures define the neighborhood aesthetic. Many Marina del Rey primary bathrooms include soaking tubs positioned to capture marina views.
For Marina del Rey SFR properties purchased as renovation projects: complete gut of kitchen, bathrooms, flooring, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC, with structural modifications as needed. These projects are common among buyers who acquired Marina del Rey homes at a discount relative to finished-quality properties in the area.
Marina del Rey ADUs require LA County Building and Safety permits and Coastal Development Permit review for new detached construction. JADU and attached garage conversions typically proceed without CDP. Marina del Rey ADUs rent for $2,200–$3,800/month given the coastal premium — excellent ADU economics.
This is the most common misconception among Marina del Rey homeowners and contractors: Marina del Rey is in unincorporated LA County. All permits go through LA County Department of Public Works, Building and Safety — not LADBS. APLA has direct experience with LA County permit processes for Marina del Rey projects.
Three things: (1) LA County jurisdiction rather than City of LA — different permit office, different forms, different inspectors; (2) California Coastal Zone overlay requiring Coastal Development Permit review for additions and structural changes; (3) The HOA-governed condominium stock requires homeowner association approval in addition to government permits for some projects.
