AfterFull Kitchen Remodeling in Woodland Hills, CA
A full kitchen remodel in Woodland Hills typically runs between $45,000 and $95,000 for a complete tear-out and rebuild, with most projects finishing in 6 to 10 weeks. That range covers everything from new cabinetry and countertops to flooring, lighting, plumbing fixtures, and appliance installation, and it assumes you’re working with a licensed general contractor rather than trying to piece the job together with separate trades. At Mason Remodeling Co Woodland Hills, we put a written price in your hands before the first tool comes off the truck, so you’ll know exactly what the work costs, who’s doing it, and what’s covered if something isn’t right after we leave.
If you’re just exploring what a kitchen update might look like, our Kitchen Remodeling in Woodland Hills page covers the wider range of services we offer, from cabinet refacing to smaller partial remodels. A full remodel is a different animal, and it’s worth understanding the difference before you commit.

When You Need Full Kitchen Remodeling
Not every kitchen problem calls for a full remodel. But when the issues start stacking up, patching them one at a time costs more than doing the job right once. Here’s what we see most often in Woodland Hills homes before a homeowner decides to go all in:
- The layout fights you every day. If you’re walking around an island to get to the refrigerator or the dishwasher door blocks the pantry when it’s open, the kitchen’s original floor plan is working against you. Homes in neighborhoods like Walnut Acres and south of Ventura Boulevard often have galley kitchens that made sense in the 1960s but don’t hold up for how families cook now.
- Cabinet boxes are failing, not just dated. Drawers that sag, hinges pulling out of particleboard, water stains under the sink from a leak that’s been ignored too long. Refacing covers the surface. A full remodel replaces the structure.
- You’ve lived with temporary fixes for years. Maybe the previous owner painted over original tile, or there’s a patch of laminate countertop that doesn’t match the rest. When the kitchen becomes a collection of compromises, starting fresh is usually cheaper than continuing to patch.
- Electrical and plumbing are behind code. Older Woodland Hills homes built before the 1980s often lack GFCI outlets near the sink, have undersized circuits for modern appliances, or run galvanized supply lines that are corroding. A full remodel is the practical time to bring everything up to current code without opening walls twice.
- You’re planning to stay and want it done once. If this is your long-term home, a full remodel fixed on quality materials now beats a cosmetic refresh you’ll redo in five years.
- The layout doesn’t fit your life anymore. Parents with young kids need line of sight to the family room. Older adults want lower counters and pull-out storage so they’re not reaching or bending. A full remodel lets you design around how you actually live, not how the original builder assumed you would.
Our Full Kitchen Remodeling Process
We don’t show up and start swinging hammers. A full kitchen remodel in Woodland Hills is a sequence of deliberate steps, and here’s exactly what ours looks like:
- Walkthrough and measurements. We come to your home, look at the existing kitchen, measure everything, and talk through what you want. This is when you tell us about problems we can’t see: the corner cabinet you can’t reach, the drawer that always sticks, the outlet that’s never where you need it.
- Design and material selection. We help you pick cabinetry, countertops, flooring, fixtures, and hardware. You’ll choose from specification-grade lines like KraftMaid and Wellborn for cabinetry, so you’re not limited to what’s on a shelf at a big-box store. Everything gets written down with specific model numbers and finishes.
- Written price, before any work starts. This is the step that separates us from most remodelers. Before we order a single cabinet or cut a single board, you receive a written price for the entire project. Not a verbal ballpark. Not a range that shifts as the job progresses. A number, on paper, that we stand behind. If something changes during the job that affects that number, we tell you before we do the work.
- Permits and prep. Full kitchen remodels in Woodland Hills generally require permits through the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety, and we handle that. We also protect your floors, seal off the work area, and set clear expectations for dust control and daily cleanup.
- Demolition and rough-in. We remove the old kitchen carefully, containing debris rather than letting it spread through your house. Then we handle framing, plumbing, electrical, and any structural work while the walls are open. This is also when any code corrections happen.
- Build-out and finish. Cabinets go in, counters are templated and installed, tile goes up, fixtures are set, appliances are connected and tested. We walk through every detail with you before we consider the job done.
Full Kitchen Remodeling Pricing in Woodland Hills
A full kitchen remodel in Woodland Hills costs more than the same project in Lancaster or Palmdale, and there’s a reason: local labor rates, permit fees, and the cost of working in older, sometimes tighter homes all push prices up. Here’s where the money goes:
- Design and permits: $2,500 to $6,500. Covers drawings, structural review if you’re moving walls, and Los Angeles County permit fees.
- Demolition and disposal: $1,800 to $4,200. Includes careful removal of existing cabinets, counters, flooring, and appliances, plus debris hauling.
- Cabinetry: $12,000 to $30,000. Stock cabinets land at the low end. Semi-custom lines like KraftMaid and Wellborn, which we use most often, sit in the middle. Fully custom built-ins push past $30,000.
- Countertops: $3,500 to $9,000. Laminate is cheapest. Quartz and natural stone, including Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone, run higher and hold up better under daily use.
- Flooring: $2,000 to $7,000 depending on material and square footage. Tile and hardwood cost more than luxury vinyl plank, but the wear layer matters in a kitchen.
- Plumbing and electrical: $4,000 to $11,000. This is the line item most people underestimate. Moving a sink, adding pot-filler plumbing, running new circuits for a double oven, adding under-cabinet lighting: it all adds up, and doing it right means opening walls anyway.
- Fixtures and appliances: $3,000 to $15,000. Faucets, sinks, lighting, range hoods, and appliances. You can spend $700 on a refrigerator or $7,000, and both will keep food cold. The difference is in features, fit, finish, and how long it lasts.
- Backsplash and finishing: $1,500 to $6,000. Tile, grout, trim work, paint, and the details that make the kitchen look finished rather than assembled.
Most full kitchen remodels we complete in Woodland Hills land between $55,000 and $80,000. The variables are kitchen size, whether walls move, material grade, and how much electrical and plumbing work the existing conditions require. A 110-square-foot kitchen with a straight-line layout is a different project than a 250-square-foot kitchen with an island and a load-bearing wall that needs a beam.
We don’t charge for estimates. Call us at (831) 290-6866, tell us about your kitchen, and we’ll tell you honestly whether a full remodel is the right spend or whether a smaller project gets you where you want to go for less.
Who Shows Up at Your Door
Every crew member who works on your Woodland Hills kitchen has been background-checked and identity-verified through the Threshold Standard, named for the process Threshold Group companies follow on every job. Before a technician arrives, you receive their name and photo. When they ring your doorbell, they’re in a clean, marked uniform and they’ll show you a photo ID badge before they step inside. You’ll never wonder who’s in your home, which matters if you’re often home alone, have young kids, or just want to know the person walking through your kitchen has been vetted before they got there.
Isaac Pruett runs Mason Remodeling Co Woodland Hills, and he’s the one who answers your questions about scope, timing, and cost. He’s been doing this work since 2004, the year the company was founded as part of the Threshold Group family of home-service companies. When you call with a question during the project, you talk to a person, not a phone tree. That’s true 24 hours a day, every day of the year, including weekends and holidays.
What the 365-Day Done Right Promise Covers
Every full kitchen remodel we complete comes with a written guarantee. The terms are stated plainly: for 365 days from the completion date, if any part of the work we did is not right, we come back and make it right at no cost to you. That includes cabinetry installation, countertop fit, tile work, plumbing and electrical connections we completed, and appliance installation. It excludes damage caused by misuse, normal wear and tear, or changes you make after we leave.
If something fails within that year, you also get a free second visit. No charge for the service call, no dispute process to navigate, no conditions hidden in fine print. You call, we schedule, we fix it.
This guarantee is the reason we can deliver a written price before work starts and still sleep at night. We plan for the job to be right the first time, and we back it in writing because we’re the ones doing the work, not subbing it out to a rotating cast of subcontractors who may never answer your call again.
Materials We Use and Why They Matter
A full kitchen remodel only holds up as well as the materials inside it. That’s why we work with specification-grade product lines rather than whatever happens to be cheapest. For cabinetry, we order most often from KraftMaid and Wellborn, both of which offer semi-custom sizing, solid construction, and finishes that hold up to daily use. For countertops, we regularly install quartz from Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone because quartz resists staining and scratching better than natural stone while still giving you a clean, consistent look. James Hardie products appear in some of our kitchens where fiber cement backer or siding approaches make sense.
The material selection happens early in the process so the written price you receive reflects exactly what’s going into your home, not a placeholder that changes later. You’ll know the brand, the line, the color, and the finish before we place the order.
Common Mistakes Homeowners Make on Full Kitchen Remodels
We’ve fixed enough botched or half-done kitchen projects in Woodland Hills to know where things go wrong. Here’s what to watch for:
- Hiring the low bid without checking who’s actually doing the work. We’ve followed behind crews that disappeared after demolition, leaving homeowners with no cabinets and no recourse. The cheapest number is only a deal if the job gets finished.
- Skipping permits to save time or money. Unpermitted kitchen work in Los Angeles County causes problems when you go to sell, and it can void your homeowners insurance if something goes wrong. Pull permits. Do it right.
- Not budgeting for what’s inside the walls. A 1960s Woodland Hills kitchen often has wiring that predates modern code, plumbing that’s reaching the end of its life, and sometimes questionable framing from previous remodels. Plan for the walls to reveal surprises, and don’t drain your budget on finishes before you address structure.
- Designing for resale instead of for how you live. You’ll use this kitchen every day. Buy the cabinet configuration that fits your cooking habits, put outlets where you actually need them, and don’t skip the pull-out trash can because it costs $400. You’ll regret the savings every time you cook.
- Choosing materials based on looks alone. That matte-finish floor tile might be gorgeous and an absolute nightmare to keep clean. We’ll show you samples and tell you honestly how they wear, because we’re the ones who install them and we’re the ones you’ll call if something fails.
FAQs – Full Kitchen Remodeling
How much does a full kitchen remodel cost in Woodland Hills?
A full kitchen remodel in Woodland Hills typically costs $45,000 to $95,000, with most projects landing between $55,000 and $80,000. The range depends on kitchen size, whether you move walls or plumbing, material grade, and how much electrical work the existing home requires. Call (831) 290-6866 and we’ll give you a written price specific to your kitchen, free.
How long does a full kitchen remodel take?
Most full kitchen remodels we complete in Woodland Hills take 6 to 10 weeks from demolition to final walkthrough. Custom cabinetry extends the timeline because the cabinets are built to order, and moving plumbing or structural walls adds time for framing and inspections. We’ll give you a schedule with your written price so you know what to expect before work begins.
Can I stay in my home during a full kitchen remodel?
Yes, most homeowners in Woodland Hills stay in their homes during the remodel. We seal off the work area to contain dust, set up a temporary cooking area when needed, and clean up daily. The noise is real during demolition and rough-in, but the work is confined to the kitchen and we respect your home as if it were our own.
Is a full kitchen remodel worth it in Woodland Hills?
For most Woodland Hills homeowners planning to stay in their home for years, a full kitchen remodel pays off in daily quality of life rather than resale math alone. The kitchen is the room you use most, and fixing layout, storage, lighting, and ventilation changes how the whole house feels. We’ll look at your kitchen and tell you honestly if a full remodel is the right call or if a smaller project achieves what you want for less money. Call (831) 290-6866 for a free estimate.
