Solid Wood Cabinets In a Variety of Colors & Styles Starting at $8,950
CA Licensed Contractor #947147
Granada Hills got built early and got built fast. Almost 38% of the housing here went up in the 1950s, and the median home dates to 1963, according to Census ACS 2020–2024 estimates for ZIP 91344. That’s the root of most kitchen complaints on this side of the Valley. Doors that never closed right. Drawer boxes coming apart at the corners. Twelve inches of counter next to the range because nobody in 1955 planned for a dishwasher. Kitchen Emporium serves Granada Hills from our Chatsworth showroom, four and a half miles west on Devonshire, and we sell the cabinets and countertops we install — so one crew and one price covers the whole job.
Quick Takeaways
- Four and a half miles away: the showroom sits straight down Devonshire Street from Granada Hills, about a nine-minute drive with no freeway involved.
- Cabinets from $8,950: solid wood, no particle board, priced on 20 linear feet with ten quartz countertop choices.
- Built for 1950s houses: the median Granada Hills home dates to 1963, so most of the work here is pulling original cabinets and starting clean.
- Licensed, family-run: CA Contractor #947147, more than 25 years in the Valley, with installers who have been on the crew two decades.
Why Granada Hills Homeowners Start on Devonshire Street
Because they can touch the material first. Our showroom carries the actual solid-wood doors — White Shaker, Dove, Sage, Pebble, Butterscotch, Espresso and a dozen more — in contemporary, transitional and traditional styles, plus the quartz and granite that goes on top. No particle board in the boxes. That matters in houses this age, where the sink base has usually been rebuilt once already, and the last set of cabinets swelled at the bottom. We measure, order, and install with our own people. Homeowners here are often the second or third owner of a house the whole block knows, so the work has to hold up in public.
What a Granada Hills Kitchen Project Usually Involves
Most jobs here are a cabinet-and-counter replacement inside the existing footprint. The 1950s and 60s layouts were small but sensibly framed, so we can usually leave the plumbing and gas where they sit, replace every box, run quartz across a slightly deeper counter, then finish with tile to the underside of the uppers. That’s $8,950 package territory — 20 linear feet, solid-wood cabinets, ten quartz options, a 6-inch backsplash, an 18-gauge stainless sink. Islands and wall removals cost more. They also take longer, because opening a load-bearing wall in a 70-year-old tract house means a beam, an inspection, and a framing crew. Ask at the consultation, not after demolition.
Granada Hills Details That Change the Plan
Three local things shape scope before design starts. Permits run through LADBS, the City of Los Angeles department — not a Ventura County counter, which surprises people who moved over from Simi Valley. Homes north of Rinaldi Street fall under the Baseline Hillside Ordinance, so additions get limited. Then there’s Balboa Highlands. That Eichler tract has radiant heat in the slab, meaning a cut for an island drain is a real decision and not a line item, and exterior changes go before the HPOZ board. Old houses simply cost more. Harvard’s Joint Center for Housing Studies found improvement spending on pre-1980 homes ran 24% higher in 2023 than on homes built since 2010.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Granada Hills?
It starts at $8,950 installed. That covers 20 linear feet of solid-wood cabinets with quartz counters. Across the San Fernando Valley, full remodels run anywhere from $9,000 to $100,000 depending on the size of the room, whether you move walls, and how far up the slab range you go. The national median was $8,000 in 2021–2023.
Do I need a permit to remodel a kitchen in Granada Hills?
Granada Hills is part of the City of Los Angeles, so permits go through LADBS. Swapping cabinets and countertops in place usually doesn’t require one. Moving plumbing, gas or electrical, or taking out a wall, does.
How long does cabinet installation take?
Under a week, usually, once your materials arrive. The ordering lead time is the longer stretch of the calendar by a wide margin, which is exactly why we push people to book the measuring visit early instead of waiting until they’ve picked every finish.
Can you work with Eichler kitchens in Balboa Highlands?
Those kitchens need the slab looked at before anything gets designed. Radiant heat limits where drains and gas lines can move, so an Eichler kitchen usually stays in its original footprint with new cabinets, counters and lighting.
Do you serve the rest of the northeast Valley?
We do — Porter Ranch, Northridge, Chatsworth, Sylmar and Mission Hills all sit inside our normal service area.
