Simi Valley Kitchens Were Built 40 Years Ago — Yours Probably Needs a Refresh Most kitchens in Simi Valley haven't changed much since the homes were built in the late 1970s and 1980s. If you're cooking in a kitchen with oak cabinets, laminate counters, a fluorescent ceiling light, and a layout that keeps you isolated from the rest of the house, kitchen remodeling in Simi Valley might be the best investment you make this year.   Master in Design remodels kitchens across Simi Valley — from Wood Ranch and Big Sky to Madera Hills, Indian Hills Ridge, and West Simi Valley. And we're not just a company that "serves the area." We have a physical office right here in Simi Valley at 89 Redwood Grove Ct.   Simi Valley's median home build year is 1980, and over 70% of homes are single-family detached — with kitchens that share the same issues: closed galley and L-shaped layouts walled off from living areas, worn original oak cabinets, peeling laminate countertops, fluorescent box lighting, outdated plumbing, and too few outlets for modern appliances. With home values in neighborhoods like Wood Ranch now above $1.2M, an updated kitchen isn't just a quality-of-life improvement — it's a financial one. Buyers expect modern kitchens, and updated homes sell faster and for more.

For a detailed overview of our process and what each phase looks like, visit our main kitchen remodeling page.   Every project begins with a home visit and design consultation. Our in-house team creates a custom layout based on your space, your style preferences, and your budget. The upgrades Simi Valley homeowners request most:   Open-concept layouts — Removing a wall to connect a closed galley or L-shaped kitchen to the living areas for the biggest visual and functional impact.   Custom cabinetry — Replacing worn oak cabinets with modern stock or custom options and far more storage.   New countertops — Swapping dated laminate for quartz or granite surfaces.   Updated lighting — Adding recessed cans, pendants, and under-cabinet lighting in place of a single fluorescent box.   Electrical and plumbing upgrades — New outlets and dedicated circuits for modern appliances, plus updated supply lines and sinks.   Simi Valley handles permits through the City of Simi Valley Building & Safety Division — separate from LADBS and the Thousand Oaks Building Division. Non-structural remodels (cabinets, counters, cosmetic updates) are reviewed in about one week, while projects requiring plan review (wall removal, plumbing changes, electrical upgrades) take 20-25 working days. We handle all permit applications, plan submissions, and inspection scheduling.

Kitchen Remodeling Simi Valley Remodeling FAQ

Do I need a permit to remodel my kitchen in Simi Valley?

Yes. Simi Valley handles permits through the City of Simi Valley Building & Safety Division — a separate process from LADBS or the Thousand Oaks Building Division.

Non-structural remodels like cabinets, counters, and cosmetic updates are reviewed in about one week, while projects requiring plan review (wall removal, plumbing changes, electrical upgrades) take 20-25 working days.

Structural, electrical, and plumbing work each require separate permits, and we handle all of it for you.

How long does it take to get a kitchen remodel permit in Simi Valley?

Non-structural kitchen remodels are typically reviewed in about one week. Projects that require plan review — such as removing a wall, rerouting plumbing, or upgrading electrical — take 20-25 working days.

We manage all permit applications, plan submissions, and inspection scheduling through the Simi Valley Building & Safety Division so you don't have to navigate the process yourself.

What does a kitchen remodel cost in Simi Valley?

Cost depends on scope, layout changes, materials, appliances, and kitchen size. A cosmetic cabinet-and-counter swap costs far less than a full gut renovation with layout changes.

Opening up a closed kitchen by removing a wall adds cost but delivers the biggest impact.

Material choices also matter — stock vs. custom cabinets, quartz vs. granite vs. laminate, vinyl plank vs. tile vs. hardwood. We provide transparent, line-item estimates with every material, labor cost, and fee listed.

What are the most popular kitchen upgrades in Simi Valley?

The most impactful request is opening up a closed galley or L-shaped kitchen by removing a wall to connect it to the living areas.

Other common upgrades include replacing worn oak cabinets with custom cabinetry, swapping dated laminate for quartz or granite countertops, adding recessed lighting, pendants, and under-cabinet lights, and upgrading electrical and plumbing for modern appliances.

Yes. Master in Design offers financing options to help Simi Valley homeowners manage upfront kitchen remodel costs, layout changes, and premium finish upgrades without delaying the project.
