Most Calabasas remodelers won't tell you what a kitchen costs until they've been in your house for an hour. We put our prices on this page instead. A full kitchen remodel with New Kitchens of Calabasas starts at $25,000, and a mid-range remodel with new semi-custom cabinets and stone counters typically runs $40,000–$70,000.
A lot of homes in The Oaks and Calabasas Hills were built in the 1980s and '90s with builder-grade kitchens. Most of them don't need to be gutted to the studs, which is why so many Calabasas projects fit our entry-level and mid-range tiers.
Below you'll find our three pricing tiers, what other Calabasas-area remodelers publish for the same kind of work, typical permit fees, and the choices that push a budget up or down.
Every kitchen is different, but most Calabasas projects land in one of these three ranges. Your written quote will tell you exactly where yours falls.

Competitor prices are quoted from each company's own website as published in October 2026. We compare the low end of each range against our price for the same scope of work.
Permit fees typically run $500–$1,500, depending on how much of the kitchen is changing. The exact fee is set by the city and based on your project's valuation, so we confirm it for your Calabasas home and show it as its own line on your quote. It never shows up as a surprise later.
| Type of Project | Typical Permit Cost |
|---|---|
| Minor remodel, no layout changes | $400–$700 |
| Wall removal, electrical, or plumbing upgrades | $800–$1,200 |
| Major structural changes or additions | $1,200–$1,500+ |
Two kitchens the same size can come in $30,000 apart. These are the decisions that make the difference.
Keeping your sink, range, and fridge where they are is the single biggest way to save. Moving plumbing, gas, or walls adds labor and permit fees.
Refacing or stock cabinets keep you in the entry tier. Semi-custom and fully custom cabinetry is what moves a project into mid-range and high-end.
Laminate and standard quartz are the budget picks. Full-slab quartz, granite, or a waterfall island edge cost more in material and fabrication.
Reusing your appliances saves thousands. Commercial-grade ranges often need new venting and dedicated electrical or gas lines.
None of these are required for a beautiful kitchen. They're worth knowing about before you set a budget, because each one adds to the total.
Tell us which ones matter to you and we'll price them separately, so you can decide what's worth it.
You know the range before we visit, so nobody's time is wasted on a quote you can't afford.
Cabinets, counters, labor, and permits each get their own line. You choose where to spend and where to save.
We'll tell you when keeping your current layout gets you 90% of the result for a lot less money.
Design, permits, demolition, and installation are handled by one crew, with no stacked subcontractor markups.
