We understand the design sensibility this community demands — and we deliver the quality of finish that Laguna Beach properties deserve.

Local planning · Laguna Beach
We Know How Laguna Beach Works
Start with the local review process. Laguna Beach accepts building permits and zoning plan checks through its public portal. We check whether the proposal also needs coastal or other planning review before setting the construction sequence. The answer depends on the site and scope. See the Laguna Beach Community Development for current information.
Plan the interior before selecting finishes. For your Laguna 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 Laguna 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.

Before we begin
Planning your Laguna Beach remodel: questions, answered.
How much does 3D design cost in Orange County?
Our 3D design service has a flat fee based on the size and complexity of your project, and we give you that price up front before you commit to anything. The best part is that when you move forward and build with HQ Remodeling, the full cost of your design is applied back to your project. For most clients who build with us, the design ends up costing nothing.
Do I have to build my project with HQ to get the 3D design?
No. You can purchase the design on its own and take your renderings and floor plans wherever you like. That said, most of our clients choose to build with us, and when you do, we credit the full design fee back toward your project.
What do I receive with my 3D design?
You get realistic 3D renderings of your finished space, a 2D floor plan with real measurements, and material and finish selections based on what is actually available and what your city allows. When the design is complete, all of the final images are yours to keep.
Can I make changes before construction begins?
Yes, and that is the whole point. While your project is still a 3D model, changes are easy and cost you nothing in construction. You can compare layouts, swap cabinet styles, test paint colors, and adjust finishes with our designers until the space feels right. It is far cheaper to change a rendering than to change a finished wall.
What is the difference between a 3D rendering and a blueprint?
A blueprint is a flat, technical 2D drawing that is hard to picture if you are not in the trades. A 3D rendering shows your space in full color and depth, so you can see the real layout, cabinets, tile, paint, and lighting before construction begins. Most homeowners find it far easier to make confident decisions from a 3D model.
What types of projects can you create 3D designs for?
We create 3D designs for kitchens, bathrooms, ADUs and garage conversions, room additions, whole home remodels, and full backyard and landscape projects. Whether it is one room or your entire property, we can show it to you before we build it.
Do you also build what you design?
Yes. HQ Remodeling & Design Inc is a licensed Orange County general contractor, CSLB #1041842, based in Huntington Beach. The same team that designs your project also builds it, so the finished result matches the renderings you approved, instead of getting lost in a handoff to another contractor.
