The $8,950 Complete Kitchen Package, Explained

Measure the walls your cabinets sit against, counting each run once. A galley with an 11-foot run on one side and a 9-foot run on the other is exactly 20 feet. So is a modest L-shape: 12 feet along the sink wall, 8 feet around the corner to the range. Tract kitchens across the Valley land in that window constantly, which is no accident, because the median Valley home was built in 1968 and 52.9% of housing units here went up before 1970. Old houses also cost more to keep. Homes built before 1980 see 24% higher improvement spending than homes built after 2010, according to Harvard’s Improving America’s Housing 2025. A U-shape with three full walls usually runs past 20. So does an island.

Islands, mostly. A custom island adds cabinetry, a second slab, and usually a plumbing or electrical run that wasn’t there before. Moving the sink or the range to a different wall is the other big one — that’s a permit and a trade bill, not a cabinet order. Upgrades inside the package add up too: soft-close drawers, custom storage inserts, a granite or marble slab instead of the ten included quartz choices, butcher block on a section of counter. Kitchen Emporium publishes a $9,000 to $100,000 range for Valley kitchen remodels, and the package sits at the floor of it deliberately. For scale, the median U.S. kitchen remodel cost $8,000 between 2021 and 2023, per the 2023 American Housing Survey.

→ design rendering and itemized pricing

Four steps. No surprises. Start at the Devonshire showroom and put your hands on the doors and the quartz, because a finish name means very little until you’re holding the actual door under real light. Then comes the free in-home consultation, where someone measures your walls rather than trusting a number you guessed off a floor plan. A design rendering and an itemized quote follow — itemized meaning the cabinet line sits separate from the counter line. The shop’s own crew does the install. Most cabinet installations finish within a week once materials arrive.

Two questions settle it. Is the footprint staying put, and is 20 feet enough cabinet? Answer yes twice and the package is the right buy — a dated galley or L-shape in Chatsworth, sink and range staying where they are, solid-wood boxes and real quartz replacing whatever the original builder installed. Answer no to either one and pay for the itemized quote instead. Islands, opened walls, imported slabs and 30-foot runs all belong in a custom number. There’s no shame in either answer. The mistake is buying a package price for a kitchen that was never going to fit inside it.

Add up the wall runs your cabinets occupy, counting each run once. Two 10-foot walls in a galley equal 20 feet. A U-shape with three full walls almost always exceeds it. Bring a rough sketch to the free in-home measure.

Yes, as an upgrade, and it moves the price. An island means more cabinetry, a second countertop slab, and usually a plumbing or electrical run. It gets quoted on its own rather than folded into the package number.

Most cabinet installations finish within a week after materials arrive. Ordering is the long pole, not the labor. The installers have 20-plus years behind them, and the business has been family-run for over 25 years under CA Contractor License #947147.

It’s low, and it’s real — for the right kitchen. The package sits at the floor of Kitchen Emporium’s published $9,000 to $100,000 Valley range because the scope is fixed at 20 feet with no layout changes. Widen the scope and the price moves.
