The Right Image Approach

Sherman Oaks
Kitchens, Done Once

Sherman Oaks is one of the most design-conscious markets in the Valley, and its kitchens reflect it. Homeowners here aren't looking for a builder-grade refresh — they want a kitchen that matches the architecture of the house, whether that's a 1950s post-and-beam mid-century north of Ventura or a Spanish revival up in the hills.

We're based just over the hill in Valley Glen, and we've remodeled kitchens across Sherman Oaks for more than a decade — from the flats of Chandler Estates to the winding streets of Longridge Estates. Our team handles every trade in-house: demo, framing, structural, cabinetry, stone, tile, and finish. One crew, one fixed-price contract, one point of contact from demo day to your final walkthrough.

The Sherman Oaks difference is often the site itself. South of Ventura Boulevard, the Hillside Ordinance shapes everything — grading, haul routes, access, and staging all have to be planned, permitted, and executed correctly. We build that into the schedule and the price up front, so a hillside kitchen doesn't turn into a permitting surprise halfway through.

And every permit is pulled through LADBS and closed with a signed final inspection — the documentation that protects your home's value when it's time to sell or refinance.

What We Build

Full Scope,
Nothing Farmed Out

Custom & Semi-Custom Cabinetry

Full-custom and semi-custom programs to match Sherman Oaks architecture — flat-slab and rift oak for mid-century homes, inset and Shaker for traditional and Spanish. Dovetail boxes, soft-close hardware, and integrated organization, built and installed by our team.

Islands & Stone Countertops

Working direct with stone fabricators — no middleman markup. Quartz, quartzite, marble, and porcelain slab, with waterfall islands, integrated sinks, and matched backsplash. The island is usually the centerpiece of a Sherman Oaks open-concept kitchen, and we template and build it accordingly.

Open-Concept & Structural

Opening a mid-century or ranch kitchen to the living space means removing walls and carrying loads on a new beam. We coordinate the structural engineering, beam sizing, shoring, and LADBS permitting — with extra care in post-and-beam homes to keep the structural approach clean.

Tile, Backsplash & Flooring

Large-format porcelain, natural stone, handmade ceramic, and zellige, plus wide-plank and engineered wood flooring that flows the new kitchen into the rest of the home — installed by our in-house crew with proper edge and transition detailing.

Appliance Integration

Panel-ready refrigeration, integrated dishwashers, professional ranges and hood venting, pot-filler rough-in, and layered lighting — all planned before cabinets are set, so the high-end appliances Sherman Oaks homeowners choose fit precisely.

Electrical, Plumbing & Permits

Dedicated circuits, GFCI protection, island power and plumbing, and updated service where the older homes need it — all rough-in permitted and inspected through LADBS, with Hillside Ordinance requirements handled on south-of-Ventura projects.

Building in Sherman Oaks

North & South
of the Boulevard

Ventura Boulevard splits Sherman Oaks into two very different remodeling worlds. North of the boulevard — Chandler Estates, Sherman Village, and the flats — you find 1940s–60s ranch and traditional homes on level lots, where the kitchen work is about opening up closed layouts and updating finishes to a high standard.

South of Ventura, in the hills toward Longridge Estates and beyond, the homes get larger and more architectural — mid-century, Spanish, and contemporary — and the site gets more demanding. This is where the City of LA Hillside Ordinance comes in: grading limits, haul-route rules, access and staging constraints that a flat-lot contractor rarely deals with. We plan and permit those from day one so they never derail the project.

Everything is City of Los Angeles, permitted through LADBS. We're based just over the hill in Valley Glen, so Sherman Oaks is a genuine home market for us — close enough that a project lead can be on your site regularly, not managing your kitchen from across the county.

What It Costs

Sherman Oaks Kitchen

Sherman Oaks Kitchen FAQ

Questions We
Hear in Sherman Oaks

Do you handle permits for a kitchen remodel in Sherman Oaks?+

Yes. Sherman Oaks is City of Los Angeles, so kitchen permits go through LADBS. If your home is south of Ventura Boulevard in the hills, the city's Hillside Ordinance can add grading, haul-route, and access requirements — we know that process and factor it in from the start. We handle plan submission, corrections, and inspection sign-off; you never deal with the counter.

How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Sherman Oaks?+

Sherman Oaks kitchen remodels typically run from about $40,000 for a high-quality cabinet-and-countertop refresh to $200,000+ for a full luxury renovation with structural changes in a hillside home. Most full remodels of the area's mid-century and ranch kitchens land in the $65,000–$110,000 range. You receive a fixed-price proposal after the on-site visit. All figures are estimates pending your consultation.

How long does a kitchen remodel take in Sherman Oaks?+

A Sherman Oaks kitchen remodel typically runs 5–8 weeks from construction start. Open-concept work in mid-century homes — removing a wall, adding a beam, reconfiguring the layout — adds a week or two, and hillside homes south of Ventura can add time for access and staging. You get a committed milestone schedule before demolition begins.

Can you open up a mid-century or ranch kitchen in Sherman Oaks?+

Yes. The 1940s–60s ranch and mid-century homes across Sherman Oaks were built with the kitchen closed off from the living areas. We open them up — removing walls, sizing and installing the beam with a structural engineer, and reconfiguring the layout — all permitted through LADBS. In post-and-beam mid-century homes we pay special attention to the structural approach so the character of the house is respected.

Can I stay in my home during a Sherman Oaks kitchen remodel?+

Most homeowners stay in the home. We seal the kitchen off, protect adjacent living areas and flooring, and keep the site clean daily. You won't be able to cook in the kitchen during active construction, so most clients set up a temporary kitchen elsewhere in the house. On hillside properties we plan staging and material access carefully to keep the street and neighbors undisturbed.

Are you licensed and insured, and do you offer free estimates in Sherman Oaks?+

Yes on both. Right Image Builders holds active California license CSLB #1021284 with full liability and workers' compensation insurance. Our office is just over the hill in Valley Glen, so the on-site Sherman Oaks estimate is free and local — a senior member of our team comes to your home, not a call-center appointment setter.
