Most remodel pages describe a process. This one describes a job, step by step and day by day of the week. A homeowner walked into our showroom on Devonshire Street in Chatsworth wanting new cabinets and new countertops, met Elias, and set up a measurement. Afterward they posted the whole sequence in a Google review, from the first visit to the last appliance going back in, and we’ve kept to the order and the weekdays they gave.

Quick Takeaways

  • The scope: new cabinets and new countertops, sold and installed by our Chatsworth showroom.
  • Measure to estimate: the kitchen is measured in person, with an estimate ready within 24 hours.
  • Demo to cabinets: the old cabinets came out on a Friday, and the new ones went in the following Monday and Tuesday.
  • The finish line: countertops a few days after that, then the appliances back in.

Elias handled this one from the showroom to the estimate

This job started with a conversation with Elias in the showroom, and he was the one who came out to measure. He wrote the estimate, too. One person carried this kitchen from the first conversation to the finished number, so the homeowner dealt with the same person at every step before demo day.

The estimate was ready within 24 hours of the measure

Elias had the estimate ready within a day of measuring the kitchen. That’s quick. It’s the turnaround the homeowner described.

Demo on Friday, new cabinets on Monday and Tuesday

The old cabinets came out on a Friday. The new ones went in Monday and Tuesday. Two working days for the cabinet set. Over the weekend in between, the old cabinets were gone and the new ones weren’t on the walls yet, so the kitchen sat empty from demo day until the crew came back on Monday to start hanging the new run.

The countertops followed a few days later

A few days after the cabinets went in, the countertops were installed. For anyone planning around a job like this one, that gap between cabinets and counters is the stretch to budget for, because it’s the part of the job when you can see the new kitchen taking shape but still can’t use a single counter in it. The boxes are in. The kitchen isn’t usable yet.

Appliances went back in last

Once the counters were in place, all of the appliances were reconnected and the kitchen was back in use. That was the final step. The job ended with new cabinets, new counters, and a working kitchen again.

Serving the San Fernando Valley From Chatsworth

21417 Devonshire Street, at Devonshire and Canoga, in the Ralphs shopping plaza. Parking’s out front. Coming off the 118, take Topanga Canyon Boulevard south about a mile and a half to Devonshire, then head east. We’re open Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and closed weekends — worth planning around, because most people naturally want a Saturday for an errand like this and we are firmly a weekday shop.
