Simi Valley homeowners drive over the hill for one reason. The cabinet you want costs less on this side of it. We serve Simi Valley from our showroom in Chatsworth, twelve miles east on the 118, and we’re the dealer as well as the installer. The median home in Simi dates to 1980 (Census ACS 2020–2024, City of Simi Valley). But the spread is wide. A 1960s tract kitchen near Sinaloa and a 1980s Wood Ranch kitchen need very different plans. So we measure first and quote second. And we’ll tell you when your layout doesn’t need changing at all.
Quick Takeaways
- Eighteen minutes on the 118: about 12 miles from Simi Valley to our Chatsworth showroom, straight down the Ronald Reagan Freeway.
- Your permits are local, not LA’s: Simi Valley runs its own Building & Safety Division on Tapo Canyon Road.
- Mixed-era housing: the median Simi Valley home dates to 1980, with big 1960s and 1980s tracts on either side of it.
- Cabinets from $8,950: solid wood, no particle board, 20 linear feet, with ten quartz countertops to choose from.
Why Simi Valley Homeowners Cross the 118
Selection and price, in that order. Showrooms are thinner on the ground in Ventura County and most quote retail. We sell solid wood at wholesale to whoever walks in the door, in twenty finishes — White Shaker, Dove, Naval, Espresso, Mahogany Glazed and the rest — across contemporary, transitional and traditional styles. Our installers have been here two decades, working under CA Contractor #947147. The free in-home consultation covers Simi Valley too. We come to you, measure, and leave an estimate you can hold against a local bid.
What a Simi Valley Kitchen Project Involves
It splits by neighborhood age. In the older central and Sinaloa-area tracts, we’re replacing tight original cabinet runs, and usually gaining a little counter depth while we’re at it. Wood Ranch and Big Sky are different. Those layouts are already generous, so the job is material — solid-wood boxes in place of builder-grade, quartz over dated tile or laminate, a full-height backsplash. Ranch homes on the bigger Bridle Path lots sometimes want a second sink or a larger island, and that means plumbing, which means a trip to the counter on Tapo Canyon and a few extra weeks on the calendar before anyone swings a hammer. Talk about it at the consultation. Not in week two.
Simi Valley Rules That Differ From Los Angeles
This is the part out-of-town contractors get wrong. Simi Valley is its own city in Ventura County, with a Building & Safety Division at 2929 Tapo Canyon Road — not LADBS, and not a county office either. Plan check and inspection happen here, on the city’s schedule. Fire zoning changed recently too. The Ventura County Fire Protection District adopted Ordinance 33 on May 20, 2025, which put the State Fire Marshal’s updated hazard maps into effect on July 1, 2025 (VCFPD). That hits siding and vents on hillside lots, not your cabinets. Still worth knowing if the job touches the outside of the house.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Simi Valley?
Our complete kitchen package starts at $8,950 installed — 20 linear feet of solid-wood cabinets with quartz counters. Wood Ranch and Big Sky kitchens are often larger and cost more. Across this region, full remodels run about $9,000 to $100,000 depending on scope.
Do I need a permit to remodel a kitchen in Simi Valley?
The City of Simi Valley Building & Safety Division handles it, at 2929 Tapo Canyon Road. Like-for-like cabinet and countertop replacement usually doesn’t require a permit. Moving plumbing, gas or electrical does, as does removing a wall.
Do you actually come out to Simi Valley to measure?
Yes. Simi Valley is inside our normal service area, and the in-home consultation, measuring and written estimate are free.
Is it worth driving to Chatsworth for cabinets?
Our customers think so. We sell solid wood at wholesale and install it ourselves, so the savings usually cover the drive several times over — and it’s an eighteen-minute run on the 118, not an expedition.
How long does installation take?
Most cabinet installations are done within a week after materials arrive. Ordering lead time is the longer stretch of the calendar.

Getting Here From Simi Valley
Erringer or Madera to the 118 east, about nine miles, then south on Topanga Canyon Boulevard to Devonshire. We’re at 21417 Devonshire Street, corner of Devonshire and Canoga, in the Ralphs plaza. Twelve miles. Eighteen minutes when the 118 behaves. One trip is usually all it takes — enough to settle on a door finish and a quartz slab in person — and after that the measuring, the ordering and the install all happen at your house.
