Near the canals and the beach, groundwater can sit shallow enough to reach a pool excavation, which means dewatering, hydrostatic relief and a heavier shell than the drawings first suggest. Narrow walk-street and canal lots rarely take a truck, so material moves by hand or over the roof by crane. On top of all that, almost every parcel needs a coastal permit before a shovel moves. Unusually narrow lots on walk streets, canals and alley-loaded blocks, with small deep rear yards and minimal street frontage. We are a design-build team, which means the people who draw your project are the people who build it. Design, engineering, permits and construction run through one project manager and our own crews, so nothing gets lost in a handoff between a salesperson and a subcontractor. We are licensed, bonded and insured, [CSLB license #1119054](https://www.cslb.ca.gov/OnlineServices/CheckLicenseII/LicenseDetail.aspx?LicNum=1119054) . Permits in Venice: Building, grading and pool permits are issued by LADBS because this is part of the City of Los Angeles, but nearly the whole community sits inside the coastal zone. The Venice Local Coastal Program is still not fully certified (a Land Use Plan certified in 2001 is in place while an updated plan is being drafted with the California Coastal Commission) so projects need a coastal development permit through Los Angeles City Planning, and city decisions remain appealable to the Commission. Most projects also require a Venice Coastal Zone Specific Plan (Ordinance No. 175,693) determination or specific plan exemption before a building permit can be issued. In the mapped dual permit jurisdiction area a separate Coastal Commission permit is required as well, so entitlement duration varies widely. Permit details checked September 2026 against [LADBS](https://dbs.lacity.gov/sites/default/files/efs/forms/pc17/design-and-construction-of-swimming-pools-ib-p-bc2017-014.pdf) , [LA City Planning](https://planning.lacity.gov/plans-policies/community-plan-update/venice-local-coastal-program) and [State of California](https://gis.data.ca.gov/datasets/cadoc::cgs-seismic-hazards-program-liquefaction-zones-1/about) . Rules change, so we confirm them again for your parcel.

In Venice that submittal goes to Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety (LADBS). 04 ##### Demolition Controlled demolition with dust containment and protected pathways through the rest of the house. 05 ##### Rough & Inspection Framing, plumbing, electrical and HVAC rough-in, then inspection before anything is closed up. 06 ##### Finishes & Handover Cabinetry, surfaces, tile, fixtures and paint, then a punch-list walkthrough before we leave. Questions #### What Venice Homeowners Ask Who issues the permits for this work in Venice? Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety (LADBS). Building, grading and pool permits are issued by LADBS because this is part of the City of Los Angeles, but nearly the whole community sits inside the coastal zone. The Venice Local Coastal Program is still not fully certified (a Land Use Plan certified in 2001 is in place while an updated plan is being drafted with the California Coastal Commission) so projects need a coastal development permit through Los Angeles City Planning, and city decisions remain appealable to the Commission. Most projects also require a Venice Coastal Zone Specific Plan (Ordinance No. 175,693) determination or specific plan exemption before a building permit can be issued. In the mapped dual permit jurisdiction area a separate Coastal Commission permit is required as well, so entitlement duration varies widely. We prepare the drawings, make the submittal and handle plan-check corrections ourselves, so you are not the one chasing plan check. What makes building in Venice different? Unusually narrow lots on walk streets, canals and alley-loaded blocks, with small deep rear yards and minimal street frontage. One local condition that shapes the work: Groundwater near the canals and the beach can be shallow, which can require dewatering during excavation and hydrostatic relief in the finished pool shell. Which parts of Venice do you work in? All of it, including The Venice Canals, Oakwood, Milwood and East Venice. Our crews run every job out of our Cahuenga Pass base in Los Angeles, with our own people on site. What does a kitchen, bath or interior remodel cost in Venice? Kitchen remodel: generally $45,000 to $150,000+ across Southern California. What moves it is cabinetry (stock, semi-custom or custom), countertop material, appliance package, and whether walls, plumbing or electrical are moving. We give line-item pricing after seeing the site rather than quoting a number over the phone. How long does a kitchen remodel take? A like-for-like kitchen replacement usually runs six to ten weeks on site. Moving walls, relocating plumbing or reworking the electrical panel pushes that to twelve to sixteen weeks, and custom cabinetry lead times often set the schedule rather than the construction itself. Can we live in the house during the work? For a single bathroom or one kitchen, usually yes, and we set up containment and protected walkways to make that workable. For a whole-home interior remodel most clients move out, because the dust, noise and utility shutdowns are genuinely disruptive. Do I need a permit for an interior remodel? Replacing cabinets, counters and finishes in the same layout generally does not. Moving or removing walls, changing plumbing or electrical, or altering windows does. We confirm the permit path before pricing so there is no surprise mid-project. What usually gets found during demolition? On homes built before the 1980s the common finds are undersized electrical, galvanized supply lines, missing shear bracing and water damage behind tile. We carry a contingency line for this and price the repair openly rather than absorbing it into a vague allowance. #### More Services in Venice [Pool & Spa Remodeling in Venice](https://www.remodelyourvibe.com/services/swimming-pool-spa/venice) [Backyard & Outdoor Living in Venice](https://www.remodelyourvibe.com/services/exterior-remodeling/venice) [ADUs & Additions in Venice](https://www.remodelyourvibe.com/services/adus-additions/venice) [Plans, Permits & Design in Venice](https://www.remodelyourvibe.com/services/plans-permits/venice) [Everything we build in Venice](https://www.remodelyourvibe.com/service-areas/venice) #### Kitchen, Bath & Interior Remodeling Nearby [Kitchen, Bath & Interior Remodeling in Santa Monica](https://www.remodelyourvibe.com/services/interior-remodeling/santa-monica) [Kitchen, Bath & Interior Remodeling in Los Angeles](https://www.remodelyourvibe.com/services/interior-remodeling/los-angeles) [Kitchen, Bath & Interior Remodeling in Brentwood](https://www.remodelyourvibe.com/services/interior-remodeling/brentwood) Planning Guides #### Before You Build in Venice Costs, materials and process notes from our own projects.
