The Kitchen and Bath You Have Earned For Your Home
Rolling Hills Estates is a community defined by generosity — generous lots, generous views, and homeowners who have given their properties decades of care. Remodeling here rewards that investment with kitchens and bathrooms that finally match the quality of the homes surrounding them. Verity has been doing this work across the South Bay for over twenty-five years, and we understand what these homes require.

Homes That Have Given You Everything — Ready to Give You More
Homes That Have Given You Everything — Ready to Give You More
Rolling Hills Estates is one of those rare communities that people choose and stay in. The combination of generous hillside lots, canyon and pastoral views, equestrian trails, and an established neighborhood character that has endured across decades makes it a place worth committing to — and a place worth investing in properly. The homes here are not starter properties. They are the homes where people have raised families, entertained for twenty years, and watched the neighborhood change around them while theirs has held its ground.
The housing stock of Rolling Hills Estates is largely the product of the 1960s through 1980s: California ranch homes sited to take advantage of the hillside topography, traditional and transitional properties with generous square footage and layouts that were designed for the family life of their era, and split-level or bi-level configurations that respond to the natural grade of the land. Many of these homes are extraordinary in their bones — and many of them are carrying kitchens and bathrooms that have not kept pace with what the rest of the property deserves.
Verity’s full-service kitchen and bathroom remodeling is built for this work. We have spent twenty-five years on the Palos Verdes Peninsula and across the South Bay, working on homes exactly like these — older construction, specific structural conditions, kitchens that have served long and well and are ready to be something exceptional. Our design-build model means one team designs and builds your project from start to finish, with complete accountability and no quality variance between the plan and the outcome.

What We Build
Kitchen & Bathroom Remodeling
in Rolling Hills Estates
Kitchen & Bathroom Remodeling
in Rolling Hills Estates
Our kitchen remodeling services and bathroom remodeling services cover every element of the project — design through final installation — with all trades managed in-house. No subcontractors, no scheduling gaps, no quality variance between disciplines.
Full Kitchen Renovations
Complete transformation from demolition to finish. Layout reconfiguration, custom cabinetry, countertops, backsplash, lighting, and appliance integration — all managed by the same team that designed the plan. For RHE ranch homes, we routinely handle the structural changes that make these kitchens what they should have always been.
Open-Concept Conversions
The closed, compartmentalized floor plan of the 1960s–1980s California ranch no longer serves how families live. We assess structural conditions, remove load-bearing walls with proper beam installations, and reconfigure the kitchen to open into the living and dining areas — capturing light, improving sightlines, and making the home feel as generous as its lot already is.
Custom Cabinetry
Cabinetry designed to the exact dimensions of your space and the exact standard of your home. From fully custom millwork for demanding applications to our premium semi-custom lines where scope requires it. Click here to explore our cabinetry options →
Bathroom Remodels
Primary suites, hall baths, and powder rooms — redesigned with the same standard applied to the kitchen. Custom tile work, frameless shower enclosures, heated floors, floating vanities, and complete in-house plumbing and electrical work. The bathrooms that these homes have always deserved.
Large Island Builds
Once the kitchen opens, the island becomes the anchor of the new floor plan — for cooking, for seating, for the kind of gathering that these homes were built around. We design islands to function as working surfaces, serving stations, and social centers, with seating configurations and storage that suit the way your household actually uses the space.
Electrical, Plumbing & Structural
Rolling Hills Estates homes built in the 1960s–1980s frequently require electrical panel upgrades, plumbing replacements, and structural assessments as part of a full renovation. Our licensed in-house tradespeople handle every system — these are included in your proposal, not surfaced as surprises after demolition.
Local Expertise

Housing Stock & What Each Home Requires
Understanding Rolling Hills Estates'
Housing Stock & What Each Home Requires
Rolling Hills Estates is not a uniform market. The community spans several distinct housing types, each with its own structural conditions, design opportunities, and renovation requirements. Two and a half decades of project history across these neighborhoods has given us a specific kind of familiarity that shows in every proposal we write.
California Ranch Homes
The California ranch is the foundational housing type of Rolling Hills Estates — single-story, broadly proportioned, sited to take advantage of the hillside plateau. These homes typically feature kitchens that were designed for a different era: compartmentalized, undersized relative to the rest of the floor plan, and separated from the living areas in ways that no longer serve how people live. Opening them — removing the wall between the kitchen and the dining room, building the island that was always implied by the floor plan — is the single transformation that most changes how these homes feel. We have done this hundreds of times, and we know what to expect behind the walls when we do.
Traditional & Transitional Properties
The larger traditional and transitional homes of the 1970s and 1980s brought more square footage and more architectural ambition to the RHE stock. Many of these properties have significant canyon or hillside views that define the living experience — and kitchens that have never been positioned or designed to engage them. Layout changes in these homes often involve both structural work and a deliberate design conversation about the relationship between the kitchen and the landscape outside it. Maximizing natural light and view access is as important in these renovations as the materials and finishes themselves.
Hillside-Sited Homes
Rolling Hills Estates’ topography produced a significant number of split-level and bi-level homes that respond to the natural grade of the land. These properties present specific layout and structural considerations that flat-lot construction does not: the kitchen may sit at a different level than the primary living space, interior stairways factor into flow, and the sightlines through the home work differently than in a single-story ranch. We approach these projects with an understanding of how the split-level layout can be made to work more effectively — not just refinished, but reconsidered.
Contemporary & Updated Properties
The upper neighborhoods of Rolling Hills Estates include newer construction and substantially updated properties that arrived with more contemporary floor plans and updated mechanical systems — but frequently with builder-grade cabinetry, laminate countertops, and finishes that no longer reflect the standard of the home or its owners. These projects are typically less structurally complex, which allows the investment to concentrate where it shows most: custom cabinetry, premium stone surfaces, integrated appliances, and the quality of finish work that transforms a capable kitchen into an exceptional one.
Material Intelligence
Materials For Homes Built
to Last — and Renovations That Match
Materials For Homes Built to Last — and Renovations That Match
Rolling Hills Estates homes share a design sensibility shaped by the natural landscape around them: the canyon views, the equestrian trails, the pastoral character of the hillside plateau. The best renovations in this community use materials that honor that sensibility — warm, considered, and built for longevity rather than fashionable brevity.

Natural Stone Accents
Quartzite waterfall islands, travertine backsplash accents, and honed marble bath surfaces add material depth that manufactured alternatives cannot replicate. In a community defined by natural landscape and an orientation toward the organic, introducing real stone into kitchen and bath renovations acknowledges the character of the place — and produces spaces that improve with age rather than date with it.
04
Large-Format Porcelain Tile
Oversized porcelain minimizes grout lines, simplifies maintenance in active family households, and creates the visual continuity that makes a kitchen or bathroom feel spatially cohesive. We handle all tile layout, custom cutting, and installation in-house — with large-format work requiring the precision and substrate preparation that separates excellent installation from adequate installation.

The Element That Makes Every Other Decision Matter
The Element That Makes Every Other Decision Matter
In a Rolling Hills Estates kitchen renovation, cabinetry is where the quality of the entire project is established or undermined. It defines how the space is organized, how it functions for the household that uses it daily, and how it reads to anyone who sees it for the first time. Getting it right here — in homes that are lived in fully, that host families and entertain guests and are expected to perform for decades — requires both design intelligence and construction precision.
Verity’s custom cabinetry solutions begin with your space and your life, not with a standard specification. Every dimension, every profile, every interior detail is worked out in the design phase and built to those decisions. We work with a curated portfolio of premier cabinet manufacturers and produce fully custom millwork where the scope requires it.
- Inset and full-overlay door configurations
- Frameless and face-frame constructions
- Walk-in pantry and butler's pantry systems
- Arched soffits & architectural details
- Integrated appliance panels and concealed storage
- Concealed storage & pull-out systems
- Custom bath vanities & built-ins
Semi-Custom: Full Quality, Focused Investment
For projects where the investment is better concentrated in a significant structural change, a premium countertop suite, or an appliance upgrade, our semi-custom cabinet lines deliver genuine quality at a more measured allocation. The construction standard is unchanged; the design flexibility is reduced.
Our design team will guide you to the right cabinetry solution during the initial consultation — honestly, based on what your project needs and what your budget supports. That recommendation is the same regardless of where our margin lands. We’d rather design the project correctly the first time.
How We Work
Four Phases. One Team.
No Handoffs, No Surprises.
Four Phases. One Team.
No Handoffs, No Surprises.
The most common complaint about home renovation is not the cost — it is the process. Verity’s four-phase structure is designed to eliminate the communication failures, schedule gaps, and quality variance that turn a renovation into an ordeal. Every project follows the same process, whether it costs $30,000 or $130,000.
Step 1
Design Consultation
We meet at our South Bay showroom or your home. We listen to your vision, your concerns, and your investment range. You receive honest budget guidance and a clear sense of what your project involves — before any commitment is required.
Step 2
On-Site Measurement
We visit your home, take precision measurements, and assess existing conditions — including mechanical and structural factors common in RHE’s older housing stock. We develop a full proposal: layout options, 3D renderings, material recommendations, and a detailed line-item estimate with no hidden variables.
Step 3
Presentation & Proposal
We present your design, refine it collaboratively, and guide material selections — countertops, tile, fixtures, hardware — with design input and trade pricing. Once you approve the final scope, your start date is reserved and the project schedule is locked.
Step 4
Construction & Delivery
Our in-house team builds on schedule. Your project lead is directly reachable throughout, provides regular progress updates, and surfaces any field conditions the moment they arise — not after they’ve become a problem. The project ends with a walkthrough and your complete satisfaction.

What Makes The Difference
On A Project Like Yours
What Makes The Difference
On A Project Like Yours
One Team From Design Through Build
The most expensive failures in home renovation happen at the gap between designer and contractor. At Verity, there is no gap. Our designers and our tradespeople are the same team, working under the same project lead, accountable for the same outcome. The plan that gets drawn is the one that gets built — and the person who made the promise is the one who keeps it.
15+ Years of South Bay Hillside Experience
We have worked across the Palos Verdes Peninsula and greater South Bay for over two decades. Rolling Hills Estates’ housing stock — the ranch homes, the split-levels, the traditional properties with original electrical and plumbing — is not unfamiliar territory. We know what to expect, we budget for it honestly, and we execute without the surprises that show up when a contractor encounters these conditions for the first time.
In-House Trades, Full Accountability
Our electricians, plumbers, tile setters, and finish carpenters are a part of the Verity team. There are no subcontractor gaps, no quality variance, and no scheduling dependencies on third-party crews. The standard we hold in the showroom is the standard that shows up in your home — because it is the same people, working to the same expectation.
Transparent Budget Guidance From Day One
We tell you what your project actually costs at the initial consultation — not a number designed to get you started. Our estimates are built from real project data across the South Bay market and account honestly for the conditions common in RHE’s older housing stock. A budget that reflects the actual project protects you from mid-construction surprises and lets you make informed decisions from the beginning.
Trade Pricing Passed to Our Clients
Our long-standing relationships with premier cabinet manufacturers and stone fabricators give us access to trade pricing that we pass directly to our clients. We don’t mark up materials to recover margin on labor — our pricing is transparent, and the quality of what we specify reflects it.
A Process Designed for Your Peace of Mind
Regular project updates, a dedicated project lead reachable between them, and field conditions communicated the day they arise — not after they’ve become a problem. The process we follow on every project is the same because discipline, not personality, is what makes a renovation feel manageable from the inside.

Common Questions

Remodeling — FAQs
Rolling Hills Estates Kitchen & Bath
Remodeling — FAQs
How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Rolling Hills Estates?
Kitchen renovation investment in Rolling Hills Estates typically ranges from $45,000 to $130,000+, depending on scope, structural changes, cabinet quality, and appliance and material selections. A focused cabinetry and countertop replacement in an unchanged layout sits toward the lower end; a full reconfiguration with wall removal, structural beam installation, custom cabinetry, and a complete appliance suite will be considerably higher. We provide honest, line-item budget guidance at the initial consultation — not an estimate that gets revised after you commit.
Can you remove a wall to open up our kitchen to the living area?
Yes — this is one of the most common scopes we manage in Rolling Hills Estates, particularly in mid-century ranch homes where the kitchen was built to 1960s standards. We assess structural conditions during the on-site visit, identify load-bearing elements, and design the beam or header solution required to safely open the space. Structural work is permitted with the City of Rolling Hills Estates, inspected, and included in your project proposal — not treated as a separate engagement or a surprise cost after demolition begins.
