What is a Cosmetic Renovation and Why Do You Need It?
A cosmetic renovation in Los Angeles is an affordable and fast way to update the appearance of your home without major construction work. Unlike a capital renovation, it does not involve engineering systems, change the layout, or move walls. The main goal is to refresh the interior, make it modern and cozy, eliminating the signs of time: worn-out coverings, faded wallpaper, peeling paint. It's the ideal solution if your apartment looks unkempt, but the utilities are in order and there are no fundamental structural issues. This type of renovation is often chosen before selling a property, renting it out, or simply when you want a change without months of waiting and a massive construction project. The result is a neat, updated space where you feel comfortable and proud to invite guests.
What's Included in a Cosmetic Renovation: A Complete List of Work
Our "turnkey cosmetic renovation" service includes all the necessary stages to transform your interior. A specialist visit occurs within 24 hours of your request to any area of Greater Los Angeles. The engineer conducts laser measurements, assesses the current condition of the surfaces, and helps select the optimal materials for your budget, considering the specific features of your property.
The basic scope of the service includes:
Removal of Old Finishes. We carefully strip old wallpaper, remove peeling paint, and take worn-out linoleum or laminate flooring. All work is carried out with minimal dust generation using professional dust-extraction equipment, ensuring comfort for your neighbors and household members. Unlike a capital renovation, we don't need to tear up floors and walls down to the subfloor — we work with the existing surfaces, saving you time and money.
Surface Preparation. This is a key stage that determines the final look of the finish. We perform puttying on walls and ceilings, fill cracks and chips, and apply primer to surfaces for better material adhesion. If necessary, we carry out partial wall leveling using screed guides (beads) — only where it's truly needed without overdoing it. The humid climate of coastal areas like Santa Monica or Venice requires special attention to priming with anti-fungal additives to protect the walls from potential dampness and mold.
Wall and Ceiling Finishing. This is the most noticeable stage of the transformation. We hang all types of wallpaper — from paper to vinyl and non-woven, paint the walls in your chosen colors using high-quality interior paints, and refresh the ceilings. If your budget allows, we can apply decorative plaster, which adds texture and individuality to the interior. In Spanish-style homes, popular in Los Angeles, textured plaster is often used, and our craftsmen are highly skilled in this technique, preserving authenticity.
Flooring Updates. We install new flooring: laminate, LVT vinyl tile, engineered wood, or carpet. Installation is carried out using a high-quality underlayment that ensures sound insulation — this is especially important in multi-unit buildings in densely populated areas like Koreatown or Culver City. Baseboards are replaced with new ones, completing the neat appearance of the room and hiding expansion gaps.
Finishing Touches and Details. The final stage includes installing new outlets and switches (if required), mounting door casing, adjusting windows, and replacing faucets in the bathroom and kitchen. These are the small details that create the feeling of a completely refreshed home, ready for comfortable living without any extra hassle.
Who Benefits from a Cosmetic Renovation
Our services are in demand by a wide range of property owners in Los Angeles. Primarily, this includes owners of apartments in standard multi-unit buildings in areas like Valley Village, North Hollywood, or Reseda. These often require affordable and quick updates before renting the apartment to new tenants or after a long period of occupancy.
We also work with condo owners in more prestigious locations, such as West Hollywood or Burbank, where the interior needs refreshing after years of use, but without major investment or the need for approvals from Homeowners' Associations (HOAs). A cosmetic renovation is ideal for seniors who find it difficult to handle home updates themselves, and for families with children where walls and floors quickly show wear and tear. In new buildings in downtown Los Angeles, this type of renovation is also in demand — as a way to personalize the space left by the builder, without the expense of a full reconfiguration and without dragging the process out for months.
