Kitchen Remodeling in Woodland Hills, CA
Kitchen remodels for Woodland Hills ranch homes and hillside houses, with City of Los Angeles permits handled through LADBS.
Kitchen Remodels for Woodland Hills homes
Woodland Hills has many single-story ranch homes from the 1950s and 1960s, with kitchens that are closed off from the living areas and systems that are past their life. Opening the kitchen, upgrading the electrical service and replacing old plumbing are common parts of a remodel here.
Woodland Hills is part of the City of Los Angeles, so permits come from LADBS, with the nearest office in Van Nuys. City of LA rules and fees apply. Woodland Hills is at the far eastern edge of our area, 55 to 80 minutes away, so we take projects we can staff and supervise properly.
This page covers Woodland Hills specifically. For materials, process and costs in general, see our kitchen remodeling page, and for permits and neighborhoods, our Woodland Hills service area page.

Planning a kitchen remodel in Woodland Hills
Woodland Hills ranch homes from the 1950s and 1960s often need a new electrical service along with the kitchen, since modern appliances and induction cooking exceed older panels. We check early, because utility work takes time to schedule.
LADBS issues the permit under City of Los Angeles rules. Woodland Hills is 55 to 80 minutes from our office, so we schedule in longer blocks.
Opening the kitchen to the living area is a common plan in these homes.
Woodland Hills grew from the 1922 Girard subdivision, and many ranch homes from the 1950s and 1960s have galley or L-shaped kitchens closed off from the living area. Opening the kitchen, adding an island and running new circuits for modern appliances is the most common plan.
LADBS issues permits under City of Los Angeles rules, and the Van Nuys Development Services Center serves the West Valley. Woodland Hills is 55 to 80 minutes from our office, so we schedule work in longer blocks and coordinate inspections ahead of time.
