HALLWAY & ENTRYWAY REMODELING

Hallway & Entryway Remodeling in Los Angeles, CA

Make the first impression a good one.

The entryway is the first room a guest sees and the one your family crosses a dozen times a day. It needs flooring that handles shoes and weather, light in a space with few windows, and a place for coats, bags and keys. ARD Remodeling remodels entryways, foyers and hallways for homeowners across Los Angeles and Surrounding Areas.

The work can be as light as new lighting and paint, or as complete as a new door, floor and built-in bench.

WHAT IT INCLUDES

Small Spaces, Big Impact

Hallway and entryway remodeling updates the entry door, flooring, lighting, storage and finishes of the spaces that connect the rooms of a house. Because these areas are narrow and heavily used, durability and light matter more than they do in a bedroom or a dining room.

A hallway often only needs better lighting and a floor that continues the rest of the house. An entryway often benefits from a new door, a tile or stone floor and a built-in bench with hooks.

DESIGN DETAILS

Make a Narrow Space Work Harder

Entryways and hallways are small, so each decision is visible. These are the points we plan first.

Flooring that lastsPorcelain tile, natural stone and luxury vinyl plank resist water and scratches. Continuing the same floor into the hallway makes the home feel larger.
Light and widthA hallway typically needs about 36 inches of clear width. Recessed lights or wall sconces avoid hanging fixtures that crowd the space.
Storage at the doorA bench, hooks, cubbies and a closet door that closes keep the entry clear. We size them to your household.
A door that fitsA new entry door should match the style of the house and the opening, and be installed, sealed and trimmed correctly.

COST FACTORS

What Affects an Entryway Estimate

Entryway projects are compact, but the door, the floor and the structure can change the price.

Doors
Size, material, glass and sidelights change the door and the framing.
Flooring
Stone and large-format tile cost more than vinyl plank or paint.
Lighting & Electrical
Recessed lights and switches in a finished ceiling take more labor.
Built-Ins
A custom bench and cabinets cost more than ready-made pieces.
Walls & Stairs
Stone walls, wainscoting and stair finishing add work and materials.
HOA & Access
Some doors and exterior changes need HOA or city approval.

What is the best flooring for an entryway?

Porcelain tile, natural stone and luxury vinyl plank are the most common because they handle water, dirt and heavy traffic. The right option depends on your budget and how the floor connects to the rooms next to it.

Can you replace my front door and update the entryway at once?

Yes. We install the new door with its trim and threshold, and update the flooring, lighting and walls around it, so the entry looks like one finished project.

How can I make a dark hallway brighter?

Recessed lights, wall sconces and lighter paint help most, and a sidelight or a glass-panel door adds natural light. We check the ceiling and the wiring before choosing the layout.

Do I need a permit to replace an entry door?

Replacing a door in the same opening usually does not, but changing the size of the opening can, and some HOAs have style rules. We tell you what applies at the visit.
