A full home remodel is the most comprehensive renovation you can undertake - and the most rewarding. Whether you have purchased a fixer-upper, inherited a dated property, or simply outgrown your current layout, a whole-home renovation allows you to reimagine every square foot to match the way you live today.
At ACE Design & Build, we specialize in complete residential transformations throughout Los Angeles and surrounding communities. Our design-build approach means one team handles everything - architectural design, engineering, permits, demolition, structural work, mechanical systems, finishes, and final inspections. This eliminates the miscommunication and delays that plague projects split between separate architects, designers, and contractors.
Our full home remodels typically involve opening up floor plans, upgrading kitchens and bathrooms, replacing electrical and plumbing systems, installing new flooring and finishes, and improving energy efficiency throughout. Many clients also choose to add square footage, reconfigure bedrooms, or create dedicated spaces like home offices, media rooms, or indoor-outdoor living areas.
With over 2,000 completed projects, our team has the depth of experience to manage even the most complex renovations - from mid-century modern homes in the Hollywood Hills to Spanish Revival estates in Pasadena. Every project is assigned a dedicated project manager who keeps the work on schedule, on budget, and to the highest standard of quality.

What Our Clients Say
“We bought a 1960s ranch and ACE reimagined the entire thing - opened up the floor plan, added a primary suite, modernized every surface. Five months of construction and they kept us informed every single week. The result is essentially a new home.”
“Our whole-home remodel with ACE was the biggest investment we have ever made and worth every penny. The craftsmanship in the millwork, the custom built-ins, the lighting design - it all comes together beautifully.”
“ACE remodeled our entire 2,400 sq ft home while we were living in it. They staged the work in phases so we always had a functioning kitchen and bathroom. Incredibly considerate and well-organized crew.”
“From foundation reinforcement to the final coat of paint, ACE handled our complete remodel with total professionalism. Their project manager Carlos kept everything on track and on budget. We could not be happier.”
“We compared bids from six contractors for our whole-home renovation. ACE was not the cheapest but their scope of work was the most detailed. No surprises, no change orders, and the quality speaks for itself.”
