Remodeling Encinitas homes, from Leucadia to Olivenhain.
Coastal-casual kitchens, spa-calm bathrooms, and whole-home transformations for a town that lives close to the water.
Remodeling in Encinitas
Five communities, one unhurried way of living.
Encinitas is really five towns sharing a coastline. Surf cottages and renovated bungalows line Leucadia’s stretch of the 101, Cardiff-by-the-Sea slopes toward the water, Old Encinitas keeps its walkable downtown near Moonlight Beach, New Encinitas spreads into family neighborhoods, and Olivenhain trades sidewalks for acreage and quiet.
That range is what makes remodeling here interesting. A kitchen in a Leucadia cottage asks for different answers than one in an Olivenhain estate — and we design for the house in front of us, not a formula. The town’s wellness streak shows up in our bathroom work too: light, air, and materials that feel good barefoot.
- City of Encinitas permitting and Coastal Zone review, managed for you
- Finishes selected to stand up to salt air and marine layer mornings
- Indoor-outdoor connections that suit a beach-town backyard
- One design-build team, from first sketch to final walkthrough
Where we work
Every corner of Encinitas.
Each community has its own housing stock and its own personality. We pay attention to both.
Leucadia
Eclectic cottages and remodeled bungalows along the 101, where funky and refined live side by side. Projects here are about light, flow, and keeping the character that made you buy the place.
Cardiff-by-the-Sea
Hillside homes that step down toward the surf. Kitchens built for post-beach gatherings, view-aware layouts, and decks that earn their sunsets.
Old Encinitas
Walkable downtown blocks near Moonlight Beach, with older homes that reward a careful update — opened floor plans, modern systems, original charm intact.
New Encinitas
Family neighborhoods built largely in the 1980s and 90s, now ready for comprehensive refreshes — kitchens, primary baths, and whole-home updates that bring them current.
Olivenhain
Multi-acre lots, equestrian properties, and estate homes with room to dream. Larger scopes, guest houses, and finishes that match the setting.
Neighboring coast
Just up or down the 101? We also serve Carlsbad and Del Mar — see every community on our service areas page.

Good to know
Encinitas remodeling questions.
Yes. Encinitas is an incorporated city with its own Development Services Department, and most remodels involving structural, electrical, or plumbing work need a city permit. Homes west of I-5 often sit in the Coastal Zone, which can add a coastal development review. We build that permitting path into your project plan from the first conversation.
Yes. Many homes near the 101 were built in the 1950s through 1970s, with great bones and dated systems. We open up tight floor plans, update plumbing and electrical as part of the work, and choose finishes that respect the original coastal-cottage character rather than erasing it.
We do. Olivenhain’s larger lots and estate-scale homes come with their own considerations — longer access for deliveries, well and septic systems on some properties, and design expectations to match the setting. We scope all of that up front so there are no surprises mid-project.
As a general guide: bathrooms run about 3–6 weeks on site, kitchens 6–10 weeks, and whole-home projects several months. City permitting typically adds a few weeks before construction, and Coastal Zone review can add more — we map the full timeline before demolition begins.
