The Montecito
The Montecito is a Rhodes Ranch home remodel that transformed the kitchen, butler's pantry, dining area, and living spaces with a cohesive design centered on custom dark wood cabinetry, book-matched marble surfaces, and curated hardware and lighting throughout.
The kitchen features a Wolf dual-fuel range with a full-height marble slab backsplash, a custom island with integrated prep sink, and an arched steel-and-glass pantry door that connects to a dedicated butler's pantry finished in white cabinetry with sage green accents. Globe pendant lights, black-frame casement windows, and glass-front display cabinets complete the layered, editorial look.
Adjacent to the kitchen, the open dining area sits beneath a wood-clad tray ceiling with a statement circle chandelier. Floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors open directly to the backyard, creating an indoor-outdoor connection designed for the Las Vegas climate. The living room continues the material palette with built-in shelving, a linear fireplace, and unobstructed sightlines to the pool area.
Why Design-Build Made This Rhodes Ranch Home Remodel Possible
A project like The Montecito doesn’t come together by handing a set of drawings to a separate construction team and hoping the finished product matches the vision. This Rhodes Ranch home remodel was built on Kingdom & Co.’s design-build model — meaning the same team that selected the book-matched marble, specified the Wolf range, and designed the arched steel-and-glass pantry door also managed every phase of construction from demo through final styling. That single-team approach matters most when the scope touches every room. In a whole-home remodel, decisions in the kitchen ripple into the dining area, the butler’s pantry, and the living spaces. The wood-clad tray ceiling above the dining table, for example, had to be coordinated with the custom cabinetry heights in the adjacent kitchen — two different trades working from one unified design. When design and construction sit under one roof, those details get resolved in real time instead of through back-and-forth change orders. Kingdom & Co.’s process for a Rhodes Ranch home remodel starts with an in-home consultation to evaluate the existing layout, discuss how the homeowners actually use each space, and define priorities. From there, the design team develops a concept that includes material selections, lighting plans, cabinetry layouts, and finish schedules — all before construction begins. That front-loaded design phase is what keeps a project like The Montecito on vision and on schedule, because the crew isn’t waiting on decisions mid-build. For homeowners in Rhodes Ranch considering a home remodel of this scale, the biggest advantage of working with a design-build firm is transparency. Every material, every finish, and every timeline milestone is mapped before the first wall comes down. That’s how a kitchen with custom dark wood cabinetry, a dedicated butler’s pantry with sage green accents, and an open dining area with floor-to-ceiling glass all come together as one cohesive home — not a collection of disconnected renovation decisions.
Frequently Asked Questions
The 30% rule is a budgeting guideline that suggests homeowners spend no more than 30 percent of their home’s current market value on a remodel. The purpose is to avoid over-improving beyond what the local market supports at resale. In practice, this rule matters most for homeowners planning to sell within a few years. If you are remodeling to stay, the better question is whether the investment aligns with how you want to live in the home every day. Every project is different — the right budget depends on your scope, finishes, existing layout, and goals.
The most accurate way to set a remodeling budget is to start with a consultation with a design-build firm that can evaluate your existing home, discuss your goals, and scope the work accordingly. Cost depends on several factors: the number of rooms involved, whether the layout is changing, the level of finishes you select, the condition of existing systems like plumbing and electrical, and the project timeline. Rather than relying on national averages or online calculators, working with a firm like Kingdom & Co. gives you a realistic budget built around your specific home and your priorities — with full transparency on where every dollar goes.
The biggest factors that affect kitchen remodel cost are layout changes, plumbing and electrical relocation, cabinet construction method, countertop material, appliance selections, and the overall scope of the project. A cosmetic refresh with new paint and hardware is a very different investment than a full gut renovation with custom cabinetry, professional-grade appliances, and premium stone surfaces. At Kingdom & Co., our kitchen projects include in-house custom cabinetry, which gives homeowners more control over design and quality than stock or semi-custom options. The best way to understand what your kitchen remodel will cost is to schedule a consultation so we can scope it around your specific home.
It depends on the scope. For a kitchen-only or single-room remodel, most homeowners stay in the home and use other areas while construction is underway. For whole-home projects where multiple systems are being updated at the same time — plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and structural work — temporary relocation is usually more comfortable and allows the crew to work more efficiently. Kingdom & Co. provides a detailed phasing plan during the design stage so you know exactly when and how long you may need to be out.
Be upfront about your budget range from the start. The most common mistake homeowners make is withholding their budget, which forces the design team to guess and leads to wasted time on plans that are either too ambitious or too conservative for what you actually want to spend. A reputable design-build firm uses your budget to guide material selections, scope decisions, and phasing options — not to upsell. At Kingdom & Co., we ask about budget early so we can design a project that delivers the most impact within your range, with full transparency on where every dollar goes.
