From one room to the whole house, built right.

Duarte & Family Renovation delivers family-owned craftsmanship for homeowners, short-term rental operators, and real estate investors across Southern California.

Family-Owned Accountability

The principals are directly on your job site every day—never an anonymous or rotating sub-crew.

Built for Southern California

Materials selected intentionally to withstand sun exposure, coastal marine moisture, and daily entertaining.

Clear & Respectful Jobsites

Transparent upfront pricing, strict project schedules, and continuous HEPA dust containment in your home.

Our Capabilities

Complete architectural transformations.

One team takes responsibility from initial structural assessment to the final handover walkthrough.

Kitchens

Custom hardwood millwork, durable sintered stone countertops, flush architectural reveals, and layered lighting designed for the central gathering place of the home.

Primary Bathrooms & Spas

Zero-threshold curbless showers, custom vanities, freestanding soaking tubs, and continuous monolithic sheet waterproofing that keeps walls completely dry for decades.

Whole-Home Renovations

Flooring, interior doors, wall finishes, mechanical upgrades, and custom millwork coordinated under a unified schedule, budget, and single point of contact.

Layout & Structural Changes

Removing restrictive bearing walls, widening patio openings, and maximizing Southern California natural sunlight and indoor-outdoor living flow.

Investment Focus

Short-term rentals and investment properties.

An investment property must perform. We renovate for owners who need durable finishes, elevated design, and a schedule that prevents costly vacancy.

Whether refreshing a luxury coastal vacation rental, repositioning a multi-unit property, or preparing an estate for top-tier resale, we provide transparent line-item scopes and honest ROI recommendations.

Discuss Your Property
Material Integrity

Built to last in Southern California.

Coastal humidity, high UV sun exposure, and indoor-outdoor foot traffic quickly destroy builder-grade materials. We specify surfaces built for longevity.

Timeless over trendy. The most expensive remodel is the one you want to tear out in seven years. We emphasize natural stone, clean lines, and neutral coastal palettes that look graceful for decades.

Dense, Non-Porous Stone & Sintered Slabs

Natural quartzites and engineered sintered stone resist etching from citrus, cooking oils, and harsh sun fading, both indoors and across covered patio kitchens.

Solid Brass Fixtures with PVD Finish

Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) bonded plumbing fixtures and marine-grade stainless hardware will not pit, tarnish, or corrode in salt-air coastal environments.

Humidity-Stabilized Custom Cabinetry

Furniture-grade plywood boxes, solid hardwood face frames, and catalyzed finishes prevent warping and peeling during humid summer months.

Monolithic Sheet Waterproofing

Complete vapor-barrier shower membranes and decoupled underlayments isolate water permanently from your home's structural framing.

Methodology

How we work: Zero guesswork.

No demolition starts until the entire scope is detailed and materials are physically inspected. That is how we prevent surprise change orders and delays.

1

Site Assessment

We inspect structural framing, subfloors, plumbing, electrical capacity, and natural lighting to deliver a firm, realistic budget.

2

Spatial Planning

Elevations, cabinetry drawings, lighting specifications, and finish schedules are completed up front to streamline permits and HOA sign-offs.

3

Material Procurement

Slabs, tile, and custom cabinetry are ordered, received, and inspected by our team for defects before a single hammer is swung.

4

Clean Build & Review

Continuous daily supervision, sealed dust barriers, and a comprehensive final walkthrough with care manuals and warranty paperwork.

We protect your home while we build.

We work exclusively with vetted, long-standing master fabricators, electricians, and plumbers chosen for skill and utmost respect for your home.

  • Sealed Dust Barriers & HEPA Filtration: Negative-air scrubbers keep airborne particulate out of living quarters and HVAC ductwork.
  • Rigid Surface Protection: Hardwood, stone floors, stair treads, and entryways are protected with heavy-duty impact board.
  • Daily Jobsite Sweeps: Respectful work hours, organized parking, and daily end-of-shift cleanup.
Direct Leadership

Why people choose Duarte & Family.

We restrict the number of projects we take on at any given time so every homeowner receives our undivided focus.

Honest Upfront Pricing

No bait-and-switch bids. We calculate real material and labor costs up front so you aren't surprised by change orders halfway through.

Procurement Before Demolition

We refuse to leave your home gutted while waiting on delayed appliances or imported tile. Materials are secured first.

Direct Principal Supervision

The principals plan your job, select materials with you, and oversee the jobsite daily until final sign-off.

Long-Term Commitment

You receive complete care documentation, manufacturer warranties, and a team you can call for support long after project completion.
