We review the address and proposal to determine whether additional planning or coastal review applies before finalizing the construction sequence. See the [Newport Beach Permit Center](https://www.newportbeachca.gov/government/departments/community-development/permit-center) for current information. **Plan the interior before selecting finishes.** For your Newport Beach kitchen or bathroom remodel, we review the layout, wall changes and proposed plumbing, electrical and ventilation work. We help coordinate the design and engineering needed for the agreed scope, including any required energy documentation. **Bring the outdoor plan together.** A patio cover, outdoor kitchen, pool, spa or retaining wall needs to be considered with the site layout, drainage and utilities. We check the requirements for the proposed work before locking in locations and materials. For an ADU or addition, we also review how the new space connects to the existing property. **One team through the next steps.** We help Newport Beach homeowners move from design and engineering through permit coordination and construction. Applicable HOA approvals, city or county review and inspection stages are built into the project planning. Already have designs or plans? We can work with those, too. ## Considering a Newport Beach remodel? Hear from HQ homeowners.

Most cosmetic updates like replacing cabinets, countertops, or fixtures do not require a permit in Newport Beach. However, any work involving structural changes, moving walls, relocating plumbing, or adding electrical circuits requires a permit from the City of Newport Beach Community Development Department. We handle all permit applications and submissions for you. ### How do I get a permit for a patio cover or backyard structure in Newport Beach? In Newport Beach, patio covers, pergolas, and shade structures over 200 square feet require a building permit. Solid roof patio covers also require structural engineering drawings. Properties near the coast may also require review under Coastal Commission guidelines. Our team prepares all documentation and manages the full inspection process. ### Can I build an ADU on my Newport Beach property? Yes. Newport Beach follows California state ADU laws, which allow most single-family properties to add at least one ADU and one Junior ADU. Detached ADUs require a minimum 4-foot setback from rear and side yard boundaries. Properties in HOA communities such as Newport Coast and Harbor Ridge may require design board approval before permit submission. We handle the full design, permit submission, and construction from start to finish. ### How much does a backyard remodel cost in Newport Beach? A full backyard remodel in Newport Beach (about 2,000 sq ft) usually starts around $40,000 to $70,000. From there the price depends on the design, like adding a pool, an outdoor kitchen or BBQ island, a fire pit, and new landscaping. We provide a detailed itemized estimate after a free on-site consultation and 3D design session. ### What outdoor remodeling projects are most popular in Newport Beach? The most popular outdoor projects we complete in Newport Beach include travertine and Belgard paver patio installations, aluminum patio covers, outdoor kitchen and BBQ island builds, custom pool and spa installations, artificial turf, and fire pit sitting areas. Newport Beach's coastal climate makes outdoor living spaces one of the highest-ROI investments a homeowner can make. ### How long does a kitchen remodel take in Newport Beach? A typical kitchen remodel in Newport Beach takes 6 to 10 weeks from permit approval to completion, depending on the scope of work.
