Many Sherman Oaks homes were built between the 1940s and the 1960s, with closed-off kitchens and small bathrooms that don’t fit how families live today. Perfection Builders is right next door in Valley Village, and we help Sherman Oaks homeowners open up, update and add on.

What a Kitchen Remodel Involves
- Free in-home consultation. We look at your kitchen, talk through how you cook and live, and discuss budget.
- Design. Layout, cabinets, counters and lighting, with 3D renderings so you can see it before we build.
- Permits. We prepare the drawings and get the City of Los Angeles permits.
- Construction. Demolition, plumbing and electrical, drywall, flooring, cabinets, counters and finishes, with city inspections along the way.
- Final walkthrough. We go over every detail with you before we call it done.
Most full kitchen remodels take about 6 to 10 weeks of construction once permits are in hand. You get a timeline for your project with your written estimate. See the full kitchen remodel timeline and checklist.
Remodeling an Older Sherman Oaks Home
Homes from the 1940s to the 1960s often have galvanized water pipes, small electrical panels and framing that has to be brought up to today’s code once the walls are open. We check for these at the first walkthrough and include them in the plan, so there are fewer surprises once work starts. North of Ventura Boulevard most lots are flat and easy to build on; homes in the hills south of Ventura follow the City’s hillside rules for size, grading and access, which we plan for from the start.
Built for Valley Heat
Sherman Oaks summers are hot. When we open walls or build an addition, we add good insulation, efficient windows and properly sized cooling so your new space stays comfortable and efficient.

Sherman Oaks Remodeling Questions
Do I need a permit to remodel my kitchen in Sherman Oaks?
Yes, for most kitchen remodels. Moving plumbing, adding circuits, changing walls or adding square footage all need a City of Los Angeles permit and inspections. We handle the permit process for you.
Can we live at home during the remodel?
Usually, yes. We seal off the work area, keep the job site clean and help you set up a temporary kitchen if you need one.
Do you help with design?
Yes. We plan the layout with you and show it in 3D before construction starts, and we help you choose cabinets, counters, tile and fixtures.
How much does a remodel cost in Sherman Oaks?
It depends on the size of the space, the layout changes and the finishes you choose. After the free in-home consultation you get a written estimate for your project.
