Solid Wood Cabinets In a Variety of Colors & Styles Starting at $8,950
CA Licensed Contractor #947147
Woodland Hills is really two remodeling markets wearing one name. South of Ventura Boulevard — Girard, the country club streets — the median home dates to 1967, and those kitchens carry mid-century bones with 40 years of patchwork on top. North and west toward Warner Center, the stock runs newer, closer to 1975 (Census ACS 2020–2024, ZIPs 91364 and 91367). Different problems, same fix: better cabinets and a counter that isn’t apologizing. Kitchen Emporium serves Woodland Hills from Chatsworth, twelve minutes north, selling and installing the material ourselves.
Quick Takeaways
- Straight up Topanga: 5.4 miles from Woodland Hills to our showroom, about twelve minutes. You won’t touch the 101.
- Two housing eras, two jobs: homes south of the boulevard median out around 1967; the Warner Center side runs mid-1970s and later.
- Wholesale to the public: we’re the dealer and the installer, so there’s no design-build markup on the same solid wood.
- From $8,950 installed: 20 linear feet of solid-wood cabinets, ten quartz choices, 6-inch backsplash, stainless sink.
Why Woodland Hills Homeowners Skip the Design-Build Route
Price, mostly, and control of the schedule. A design-build firm sources the same solid-wood cabinet you’d buy from us and adds its margin on top. We stock it. That means the door you choose in our showroom — White Shaker, Grey Shaker, Pearl, Charcoal, Greige, Cinnamon Glazed, twenty finishes in all — comes with our own installers attached.

What a Woodland Hills Kitchen Project Involves
Depends which side of the boulevard you’re on. In the older south-of-Ventura homes we’re usually working around a compact original layout: soffits above the uppers, a doorway in an awkward spot, sometimes a service porch that can be pulled into the kitchen. Those take planning. In the 1970s tracts the layout is fine and the material is tired, so those become finish-level jobs — new solid-wood boxes and quartz dropped into the same footprint, with a full-height backsplash where a 4-inch strip of tile used to be. The country’s housing stock hit a median age of 44 years in 2023, the oldest on record, according to Harvard’s Joint Center for Housing Studies. Woodland Hills sits right in that band. So we measure before we quote. Every time.
Woodland Hills Details That Change the Scope
Hillside rules come first. Homes in the hills south of Ventura Boulevard fall under the Baseline Hillside Ordinance, and while a like-for-like kitchen replacement rarely triggers it, anything that adds floor area does. Permits run through LADBS, since this is City of Los Angeles. Near Warner Center you sit inside a specific plan area with its own development framework, which matters far more for condos and apartment buildings than for a single-family kitchen. One practical note. If you’re in a condo or a rental, the association or the owner usually controls cabinet and plumbing changes, so find out who signs off before you fall in love with a finish. Worth a phone call first.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Woodland Hills?
Our complete kitchen starts at $8,950 installed, based on 20 linear feet of solid-wood cabinets with quartz countertops. Larger south-of-the-boulevard kitchens with islands run higher. Valley-wide, the range is roughly $9,000 to $100,000.
Who issues kitchen remodel permits in Woodland Hills?
LADBS, the City of Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety. Replacing cabinets and counters in place usually needs no permit; moving plumbing, gas or electrical, or removing a wall, does.
Can you remove the soffit above my upper cabinets?
Usually yes, and it buys you real storage. We check first for ductwork, wiring or plumbing hiding inside — in 1960s homes there’s often something in there.
Do you install countertops as well as cabinets?
Yes. Quartz and granite both, templated and installed by our crews, with ten quartz choices included at the package price.
How soon can someone come out to measure?
Usually within a few days. The in-home consultation, measuring and written estimate are free.
