Quick Takeaways
- We’re on Devonshire Street: the showroom is at 21417 Devonshire, between the library and the post office, at the corner of Canoga in the Ralphs plaza.
- Walk in with a cabinet door: Chatsworth customers can settle a finish match in person over a lunch break instead of comparing photos.
- A 1970s neighborhood: the median Chatsworth home dates to 1974, with nearly a third of the housing built during the 1970s.
- From $8,950 installed: 20 linear feet of solid-wood cabinets, ten quartz choices, 6-inch backsplash, 18-gauge stainless sink.
Why Being Local Actually Matters Here
You can stop in twice in one week. That sounds like nothing until you’re stuck deciding between Pebble and Greige under two different lights, or trying to match a finish to a built-in somebody installed in 1988 — in which case you bring the door in, hold it against ours, and settle it in ten minutes. Our twenty solid-wood finishes sit on the floor in contemporary, transitional, and traditional styles, with the quartz and granite beside them. No particle board in any box. And when the crew is working a Chatsworth kitchen, the truck comes from a couple of miles away. Not from across the Valley.
What Chatsworth Kitchen Projects Usually Involve
Cabinet and countertop replacement inside the existing footprint, most of the time. The 1970s tract layouts here are roomy by Valley standards — Chatsworth has one of the lowest housing densities in Los Angeles and the lots run large — so the space usually works and it’s the material that’s failing. Scope looks like this. Pull the old oak boxes. Set solid-wood cabinets with real drawer hardware, template and install the quartz, then tile the backsplash up to the uppers. The horse-property and hillside homes on the west side are the exception. Those are often custom, sometimes additions, and they get measured carefully before anybody quotes a number.
Chatsworth Details Worth Knowing
Permits go through LADBS, the City of Los Angeles department, since Chatsworth is City of LA. Replacing cabinets and counters in the same layout usually needs no permit; moving plumbing, gas or electrical does. Two boundary quirks matter if you’re near the edges. Twin Lakes, north of Chatsworth, is unincorporated Los Angeles County, not City of LA, so it runs through a different building department entirely. Same story for the pockets west toward the Simi Hills and the Ventura County line. Homes up against the Santa Susana Mountains and the Simi Hills also sit in high fire-hazard territory, which shapes exterior materials and vents rather than anything inside your kitchen. Remodeling is not a small national habit, either: 51.6 million of the country’s 86.9 million homeowners — 59% — did improvement work between 2021 and 2023, spending $827 billion, according to the 2023 American Housing Survey.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Chatsworth?
Ours starts at $8,950 installed — 20 linear feet of solid-wood cabinets with quartz counters, a backsplash and a sink. Larger kitchens, islands and upgraded slabs go up from there. Across the San Fernando Valley, full remodels run about $9,000 to $100,000.
Do I need a permit to remodel my kitchen in Chatsworth?
Chatsworth is in the City of Los Angeles, so LADBS handles permits. Like-for-like cabinet and counter replacement generally doesn’t need one. Moving plumbing, gas or electrical does, and so does removing a wall.
Can I visit the showroom without an appointment?
Yes. Walk in any weekday between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. Bring a cabinet door, a drawer front or a photo of your kitchen and we’ll get further in twenty minutes than a week of browsing gets you.
Do you replace 1970s oak cabinets, or can they be refinished?
Both are possible, and the honest answer depends on the boxes. If the frames are solid and the layout works, refinishing can make sense. If the boxes are sagging or the interiors are shot, replacement costs less over the life of the kitchen.
Do you handle bathrooms in Chatsworth too?
We do — vanities, cabinets, countertops and tile, same wholesale pricing and the same installers who do the kitchens.
