AfterRemodeling Company in Cerritos, CA
Home remodeling in Cerritos runs $14,000 – $130,000 depending on scope, with most whole-house projects falling between $45,000 and $130,000. We’re Penhallow Remodeling, and we handle kitchen remodels, bathroom renovations, and full-home transformations for Cerritos homeowners dealing with a unique challenge: nearly every house here was built during the same 17-year window on former Dairy Valley farmland, meaning entire neighborhoods are hitting the same structural and systems milestones at once. Our crews are based in Los Angeles and serve Cerritos locally, with a live person answering calls at (936) 259-2607 around the clock. Call us to schedule your free estimate.
Why Cerritos Homes Are Different
Cerritos was developed in a compressed burst from roughly 1968 to 1985, which means the housing stock is remarkably uniform. Nearly every home sits on a post-tension concrete slab foundation, a construction type that demands specialized diamond-blade cutting and careful cable mapping before any plumber or HVAC technician drills a single hole. The expansive montmorillonite clay soils beneath southeast LA County shrink and swell with seasonal wet-dry cycles, producing slab heave and foundation cracking that’s more severe here than in coastal cities just a few miles west where marine moisture moderates the swings.
Add to this the city’s unusually rigorous Design Review process. Room additions, ADUs, and even exterior alterations must conform to the planned-community aesthetic, requiring an extra approval layer that contractors accustomed to unincorporated LA County or neighboring Norwalk often miss. We’ve pulled permits in Cerritos enough times to know the documentation requirements by heart, and we build that timeline into every written quote we deliver.
Our Main Cerritos Services
Most Cerritos homeowners who call us start with one of these three projects:
General Contractor in Cerritos
We manage full-scale construction projects from permit pull to final inspection, coordinating trades across the post-tension slab and aging systems common in Cerritos homes. Our background-checked, uniformed crews map cable locations before any penetration and file Design Review conformance documentation as standard practice. Whether you’re adding square footage or reconfiguring a 1970s floor plan, we deliver a written price before work starts and a 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing on every job.

Bathroom Remodeling in Cerritos
Bathrooms in Cerritos tract homes often contain original aluminum wiring, single-pane windows, and layouts that don’t match how families live now. We handle everything from tub-to-shower conversions to full gut renovations, with materials from Kohler, Moen, and Toto that carry their own warranties alongside our 365-Day Done Right Promise. Every project gets a written price upfront, and we pull all required permits including Design Review submissions. Bathroom Remodeling in Cerritos
Kitchen Remodeling in Cerritos
Kitchens in these 1968 – 1985 homes were built for a different era of cooking and entertaining. We reconfigure layouts, replace aging electrical and plumbing runs, and install KraftMaid or Wellborn cabinetry with Cambria, Silestone, or Caesarstone countertops. Our crews understand the slab-on-grade construction and coordinate with structural engineers when walls come down. The price you get in writing on day one is the price on the invoice.
