PGT Kitchen Remodeling: The Woodland Hills Owner’s Guide
If you’re looking for PGT kitchen remodeling in Woodland Hills, the typical installed project runs $14,000 to $45,000, depending on the scope of work, materials, and whether you’re replacing a single component or rebuilding the whole kitchen. We install and service PGT-compatible kitchen components across Woodland Hills, and we can usually have a crew out to assess your kitchen within a few days, not weeks. Most homeowners call us when a cabinet door has warped, a drawer slide has let go, or a countertop seam has started separating, and they need to know whether it’s a repair or a full replacement.
PGT is a brand most people associate with impact windows and doors, but the company also produces kitchen cabinetry lines and hardware that end up in homes throughout the San Fernando Valley. When a PGT cabinet hinge fails or a drawer box splits, the challenge isn’t usually the part itself. It’s knowing which PGT series you have, finding a part that actually matches, and getting it installed without damaging the surrounding cabinetry. That’s where we come in. Mason Remodeling Co Woodland Hills is an independent service provider, not affiliated with PGT, but we work with PGT kitchen cabinetry and compatible hardware regularly. Isaac Pruett and our crew have been sorting out exactly this kind of problem for years.
Key Takeaways:
- PGT kitchen remodeling in Woodland Hills runs $14,000 – $45,000 for full-scope work; smaller repairs cost less.
- We match PGT parts by series, door profile, and hinge bore spacing, not just by brand name.
- We stock common PGT-compatible hinges, slides, and drawer hardware on our trucks.
- Every project gets a written price before work starts, and every job carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Which PGT Models This Applies To
PGT kitchen cabinetry appears under a handful of series names depending on the year and the builder. In Woodland Hills, we most often see PGT cabinets in homes built or remodeled between the early 2000s and the mid-2010s, especially in neighborhoods near Warner Center, Walnut Acres, and the older streets south of Ventura Boulevard. The most common PGT kitchen lines we encounter include their standard overlay, full overlay, and inset door profiles, each of which uses a slightly different hinge plate and mounting pattern.
Here’s the gotcha that trips up a lot of homeowners: PGT cabinetry is not a single universal spec. The hinge bore spacing on a PGT full overlay door is typically 35mm, which sounds standard, but the hinge plate height and screw pattern can differ by series and production year. A hinge that fits a 2006 PGT cabinet will not necessarily fit a 2014 PGT cabinet, even if both doors are the same width. When we match a part, we measure the door, the bore spacing, the overlay depth, and the hinge plate offset. A photo of the old hinge next to a quarter helps, but measurement is what actually gets it right.
For homeowners deciding between genuine PGT parts and quality aftermarket equivalents, here’s our honest read: PGT-branded replacement parts are usually the best match when the cabinet box itself is original and you’re trying to keep everything aligned. But for drawer slides, soft-close mechanisms, and pull hardware, we frequently recommend aftermarket brands like Blum, Grass, and Salice, which often outperform the original builder-grade parts PGT shipped with. The aftermarket slides we use carry better lifetime ratings and smoother damping than many OEM PGT slides from the early 2000s. We’ll tell you when it matters and when it doesn’t.

Signs Your PGT Kitchen Remodeling Is Failing
- Cabinet doors sagging or not closing flush. The hinge plates on PGT cabinets can loosen over time, especially in Woodland Hills where dry-season heat causes wood to contract and expand in cycles. A sagging door is usually the hinge, not the door itself, and that’s a thirty-minute fix with the right plate.
- Drawers sticking, grinding, or sliding unevenly. PGT builder-grade drawer slides use nylon rollers that wear flat after about ten to fifteen years of daily use. Once the roller flattens, the drawer starts to bind. Replacing the slides with sealed ball-bearing units solves it permanently.
- Soft-close mechanisms slamming shut. PGT soft-close dampers, when equipped, are small cylinders inside the hinge or slide. They lose their fluid charge over time and stop catching the door. It’s a cheap part, but you need the right damper for your series.
- Delaminating or peeling cabinet door edges. In Woodland Hills, heat and low humidity take a toll on thermofoil and laminate edges. Once the edge band pulls away, the substrate starts absorbing moisture from cooking steam. A peeling edge is a sign the door is nearing the end of its life, but the cabinet box may still be perfectly sound.
- Countertop seams separating or pitting. If your PGT kitchen came with a solid surface or quartz top, seam separation often starts at the sink run or where two slabs meet at a corner. It’s almost never a structural emergency, but it does need to be addressed before water gets under the slab and into the cabinet deck.
Replacement Cost & What’s Included
A full PGT kitchen remodel in Woodland Hills typically lands between $14,000 and $45,000. Here’s the breakdown of what we see most often:
- Small kitchen remodel: $9,000 – $20,000
- Cabinet installation: $4,000 – $13,000
- Countertop installation: $2,000 – $6,500
- Backsplash installation: $800 – $2,500
- Kitchen island installation: $3,000 – $10,000
What drives the range? Three things: the size of the kitchen, whether you’re replacing or refacing cabinets, and the countertop material. A galley kitchen with existing cabinet boxes and new doors plus a quartz countertop might land around $16,000. A large open-plan kitchen with a new island, custom cabinet installation, and a Cambria or Silestone top can push $40,000 or more. Every quote is a written line item. You’ll see parts, labor, materials, and the exact scope before we ask you to sign anything. There are no verbal estimates that grow on the final bill. The work itself is covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise: if something isn’t right within a year of completion, we make it right at no cost to you.
DIY or Call Us?
There’s a safe middle ground here. You can absolutely tighten a loose PGT hinge plate with a Phillips screwdriver. You can clean and lubricate a sticking drawer slide. You can check whether a door is out of alignment by looking at the gap between the door and the cabinet frame. Those are reasonable homeowner tasks, and we’ll never tell you otherwise. But when it comes to removing cabinet doors and re-mounting hinge plates, replacing drawer slides, or re-laminating edges, we’d tell you the same thing Isaac tells his neighbors: the margin for error is small, and the cost of a mistake is a split door frame or a drawer that never sits right again. Countertop seam work is not a DIY job under any circumstances. The adhesive chemistry, seam tolerances, and clamping pressure required to make a seam disappear take years to learn properly. Call us at (831) 290-6866 and we’ll give you a straight answer about what you’re looking at. Tell me what you need done. I’ll tell you what it takes and what it costs. Then we get to work.
One more thing worth knowing: every crew member we send to your door in Woodland Hills has been background-checked and identity-verified under our Threshold Standard. You’ll get the technician’s name and photo before the visit, and they’ll show a photo ID badge at the door. We treat that as a non-negotiable, not a selling point.

AfterCan you fix a PGT cabinet instead of replacing it?
Often, yes. We’d estimate that 70% of PGT cabinet issues in Woodland Hills are repairable without full replacement. Hinges, slides, and dampers are straightforward swaps. Door refinishing and edge band replacement are also very doable when the substrate is sound. The main reason we recommend full replacement is structural failure in the cabinet box itself, like water damage from a long-running leak or separating face frames. Call (831) 290-6866 for an exact quote, and we’ll tell you which side of the line your kitchen falls on. Estimates are free.
How long does a PGT kitchen remodel or part replacement take?
A focused part replacement, like new hinges and drawer slides throughout a kitchen, typically takes one day in Woodland Hills. A full cabinet and countertop remodel usually takes two to four weeks depending on material lead times and whether we’re doing structural work. We’ll give you a written timeline before work starts, not after.
Does Mason Remodeling Co Woodland Hills stock PGT parts locally?
We stock the most common PGT-compatible parts on our trucks: 35mm hinge plates, soft-close dampers, drawer slides, and cabinet hardware in standard finishes. Rare or series-specific PGT parts may need to be ordered, but we can usually source them within a week. When we can’t match a discontinued PGT part exactly, we’ll present a quality aftermarket option from brands we trust, and we’ll tell you the difference in plain language before you decide.
Will the price change once the work starts?
No. The written price we give you before work starts is the price you pay, unless you ask us to change the scope or we uncover something structural that was impossible to see until the cabinets came out. If that happens, we stop, show you what we found, and give you a new written price before we move forward. We don’t bury surprises in the final bill. That’s the whole point of the way we work.
Ready to get your PGT kitchen back in shape? Call (831) 290-6866 to schedule your free estimate. We serve Woodland Hills and the surrounding Valley neighborhoods, and we also stock and install cabinetry and surfaces from KraftMaid, Cambria, and Silestone if your project calls for it.
