Fast, Reliable Kitchen Remodeling Across Granada Hills
A full kitchen remodel in Granada Hills typically runs $14,000 to $45,000, depending on whether you’re keeping the existing footprint or opening walls. A smaller, partial refresh of a galley kitchen usually lands between $9,000 and $20,000. Those are real numbers we stand behind in writing before the first tool comes out. Call (903) 568-7222 to schedule a free estimate, and we’ll walk your Granada Hills kitchen with a crew chief who can explain exactly what the price covers.
We know Granada Hills because we work it every week. The neighborhood streets off Balboa Boulevard, the tracts north of Rinaldi, the older blocks east of the 405 around Devonshire – these are our service area, and the homes here have a rhythm we’ve learned to read. You want a contractor who knows that a 1960s ranch on a crawl space brings different challenges than a hillside split-level, and who plans for them before they become change orders. That’s the discipline we bring to every job.
Why Bradford Remodeling Is Granada Hills’s Preferred Kitchen Remodeling Company
Bradford Remodeling operates under The Garrison Standard, a written framework that governs how we price, how we schedule, and how we close a job. Every Granada Hills project gets a written price before work starts. Every completed remodel carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if anything we installed fails inside the first year, we return and correct it at no charge. No fine print, no renegotiation.
Our crews are background-checked and uniformed, so you always know who’s walking through your door. That matters when a remodel runs three to six weeks and multiple trades cycle through your home. The lead carpenter on a Granada Hills job is the same person from demolition to final punch list. You get a live person on the phone at (903) 568-7222 any hour, any day – not a voicemail queue.
Part of the Garrison Partners family since 2004, Bradford Remodeling is independently owned and operated, and every Granada Hills project is led by Curtis Lane and held to the same written standard we’ve used for two decades. We answer to the homeowners on Balboa and Chatsworth, not a corporate office in another state.
Styles & brands we work with
Kitchen Remodeling Company in Granada Hills
A kitchen remodeling company in Granada Hills has to understand what’s behind these walls before it quotes a single cabinet pull. Most of the housing stock here went up between the late 1940s and early 1960s. That means galley layouts, original framing, and infrastructure that’s six decades old. A full kitchen remodel in Granada Hills runs $14,000 to $45,000, and the range exists because two houses on the same street can have very different conditions behind the drywall.
What a Full Remodel Covers
A full remodel means taking the kitchen down to the studs in most cases. We remove old cabinets, flooring, and fixtures, inspect what’s underneath, then rebuild with new rough-in for plumbing and electrical, new cabinets, countertops, flooring, backsplash, and fixtures. On Granada Hills ranch homes, this often includes correcting framing or subfloor issues the original build left behind.
Permits and Inspections in Granada Hills
The city’s Department of Building and Safety reviews structural, electrical, and plumbing changes. We pull the permits, schedule the inspections, and stand with the inspector when they walk the site. The final inspection sign-off goes in your hand at job close, along with the written guarantee. No work gets closed inside a wall until it’s been independently verified.
Small Kitchen Remodel in Granada Hills
A small kitchen remodel in Granada Hills typically costs $9,000 to $20,000 and focuses on a galley or compact footprint that doesn’t require moving structural walls. That might mean new cabinet faces or full cabinet replacement, a new countertop, updated fixtures, and flooring – all within the existing footprint. It’s the right scope for a homeowner who wants a functional, updated kitchen without a multi-month build.
Cabinet Refacing and Replacement
If the cabinet boxes are square and solid, refacing can be a smarter spend than full replacement. We install new doors, drawer fronts, and hardware while keeping the existing boxes. Granada Hills galley kitchens often have original Douglas fir framing that’s still straight enough to reface cleanly. When boxes are compromised, we replace them.
Countertop and Backsplash Upgrades
Countertop installation in Granada Hills runs $2,000 to $6,500 depending on material and lineal footage. Cambria and Caesarstone quartz are common choices for these kitchens because they hold up to daily use without sealing. A tile backsplash runs $800 to $2,500, and it’s one of the highest-impact changes you can make to a 1960s kitchen without moving a single wall.
Trusted Brands We Service in Granada Hills
We install and service a documented roster of name-brand materials, so your specifications aren’t left to guesswork. KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, Cambria and Caesarstone surfaces, Kohler and Moen fixtures – these are brands with manufacturer specs and warranties that back our own written guarantee. For Granada Hills homeowners, we keep a rolling stock of common cabinet hardware, faucet cartridges, and touch-up materials on our trucks, which cuts turnaround on punch-list items and warranty corrections. If a hinge fails in month eight, we don’t order from a warehouse and wait – we fix it from what’s on the shelf.

AfterCommon Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Granada Hills Homes
- Load-bearing condition of the kitchen/dining divider: In many 1950s-1960s Granada Hills ranch homes, the wall separating the kitchen from the dining room carries roof load. Removing it without a properly sized beam and a permit revision creates structural risk we won’t take. We confirm this with a field inspection before we quote a galley-to-open scope.
- Unverified lower kitchen cabinets: The bottom cabinets in these older tract homes often have water damage from decades of sink and dishwasher work. If the substrate is compromised, the cabinet replacement cost moves, and that’s a number you should know before demoliton, not after.
- 1960s electrical and galvanized supply lines: Original electrical panels and galvanized steel water lines are common in Granada Hills kitchens. When we open walls and find cloth-wrapped wiring or corroded supply lines, that work needs to be brought to code. We quote a rough-in allowance up front so you’re not surprised.
- Improperly installed tile from prior remodels: Some Granada Hills kitchens have tile that was laid over a substrate that was never leveled or waterproofed. We see it start to fail within a few years. When we install tile, the substrate is corrected first, and it’s covered by the 365-Day Done Right Promise.

FAQs About Kitchen Remodeling in Granada Hills
Yes. Structural changes, electrical work, and plumbing rough-in all require permits from the city’s Department of Building and Safety, and inspections must be scheduled before those walls are closed. We pull the permits and manage the inspection calendar for every Granada Hills job. Skipping this step is a liability that shows up at resale or during the next remodel. Call (903) 568-7222 and we’ll tell you exactly which permits your scope needs.
Yes, with an allowance structure that accounts for what we might find. We give you a written price before any work begins, and we build in written allowances for the conditions we can’t see until demolition: framing that may need repair, subfloor that may need replacement, or rough-in that’s not up to current code. The quote is a real number, not a placeholder. If we find something that moves the price, you sign a change order before we proceed. Call (903) 568-7222 for a free estimate.
A small kitchen remodel in Granada Hills typically runs two to three weeks. A full kitchen remodel runs four to eight weeks, depending on the scope, the permit path, and the city’s inspection schedule. Because Granada Hills is a master-planned suburb built in large tracts, multiple permits on the same block can land in the same week and stretch the inspection calendar. We build that into the schedule up front so the finish date we give you is a date we can hold.
Many Granada Hills ranch homes from the 1950s and 1960s have a load-bearing wall between the kitchen and the dining room. If that wall carries roof load, removing it requires a structural beam, a permit revision, and possibly additional engineering. We confirm this during the estimate with a field inspection. If a beam is needed, it’s in the written scope before you sign anything. Call (903) 568-7222 and we’ll check your specific layout.
Three things, all of which you’ll see in writing before they proceed: the condition of the substrate and framing behind the walls, the specific materials you select against the written allowances, and any code corrections required on original electrical or plumbing rough-in. We don’t wait until the end and hand you a surprise invoice. Change orders are signed in the moment, and the difference is documented. Call (903) 568-7222 for an exact quote – estimates are free.
