Your Stevenson Ranch Kitchen

The Kitchen You Have, the One You Want

Stevenson Ranch was planned rather than grown. Dale Poe Development bought the land in the early 1980s, the County approved a master-planned community in the middle of that decade, and construction began late in the decade on the foothills of the Santa Susana Mountains west of Interstate 5. Within twenty years most of it was built. Of roughly 7,100 homes, about 38% date from the 1990s and 41% from the 2000s, and almost nothing predates 1980.

Around 65% are single-family houses, and close to a quarter are condos and apartments in larger buildings. About two-thirds of households own. The community includes Stevenson Ranch proper and Westridge, which have their own association documents. It's unincorporated, governed by LA County, and separate from the City of Santa Clarita next door.

We begin with a measured walkthrough and a look behind the cabinets, then show you the plan in 3D with an itemized written price, so you know what you are buying before demolition starts.

Under the Surface

Water, Power, Air and the Job Site

A new kitchen is only as good as the plumbing, wiring and venting behind it.

  • Climate. ZIP 91381 is in the Energy Commission's climate zone 9. Santa Clarita Valley summers are hot, and kitchens with a two-story family room and big sliders take in afternoon heat. If you're replacing the panel or adding circuits, it's a good time to plan for induction or an EV charger.
  • Ventilation. The hood is sized to the cooktop and ducted outside wherever the structure allows, instead of recirculating grease and moisture.
  • Protecting the house. Floors and doorways along the work path are covered, and debris goes out at the end of each day.

The Permit Side

Stevenson Ranch Kitchen Permit Guide

Verified Stevenson Ranch parcels are permitted by LA County Building & Safety through EPIC-LA, which handles applications, plan check and inspection requests. Land use falls under the County's Department of Regional Planning, guided by the Santa Clarita Valley Area Plan. The County's Santa Clarita Field Office offers limited counseling and intake for nearby residents, though most building filing happens online.

Service Details

What Every Service Includes

Method, local detail and price, one service at a time.

Cabinets that work harder

Cabinet Installation in Stevenson Ranch, CA

Drawers beat doors in almost every base cabinet.

Storage is sorted into zones and each zone gets the cabinet type that suits it. Every drawer is run open and closed before we move on. The hood. An over-the-range microwave clears almost nothing. A ducted hood vented outside, with the microwave moved into a drawer or tall cabinet, is a big improvement. Lighting. Builder cans in the middle of the ceiling leave counters in shadow. Recessed lights over the counters, continuous LED under the uppers and pendants over the island fix it. Counters. Speckled granite usually goes. Quartz in a quieter pattern with a full-height backsplash behind the range is the common replacement.

What differs in Stevenson Ranch

Cabinets. Thermofoil peels near heat, and particleboard sink bases swell after small leaks. Plywood boxes with painted, wood or slab doors last much longer. The island. Builder islands are often wide but shallow on storage. Rebuilding them with drawers on the work side, a trash pull-out near the sink and seating that clears the walkway makes them far more useful. The pantry. A corner walk-in pantry can be swapped for a wall of tall pull-out pantry cabinets that holds more and is easier to reach.

Our first questions
  • Confirm appliance openings
  • Size the pantry pull-out
  • Map storage zones
  • Shim boxes level

How much do new cabinets cost in Stevenson Ranch?

Expect semi-custom cabinets to cost

$210–$360 per linear foot, installed.

Door style, box material and organizers move the price.

Tops that last

Countertop Installation in Stevenson Ranch, CA

Prep space on both sides of the sink is worth more than a fancy edge.

Slabs are measured digitally on the set cabinets, not from drawings. Every edge is checked for chips before we sign off.

The Stevenson Ranch angle

Cherry, espresso or thermofoil cabinets, speckled granite with a 4-inch splash or a tile backsplash, a big island with a granite overhang, a microwave over the range and a corner pantry.

Our first questions
  • Pick a low-upkeep surface
  • Plan support brackets
  • Pick the sink first
  • Compare quartz and granite

What do quartz counters run in Stevenson Ranch?

$55–$150 per square foot, fabricated and set.

Slab grade, thickness and edge detail move the price.

The finishing wall

Backsplash Installation in Stevenson Ranch, CA

Tile layout around outlets and windows separates good work from average.

Tile height is set to meet the uppers cleanly or run full height. Sealer is applied where the tile needs it.

Our first questions
  • Choose tile or slab
  • Repair drywall first
  • Decide the height
  • Center the pattern

Our first questions
  • Level the base
  • Plan the tile layout
  • Select underlayment
  • Choose plank or tile

$520–$2,600 for the whole kitchen.

A second oven or fridge adds labor.

The center of the kitchen

Kitchen Island or Peninsula in Stevenson Ranch, CA

A well-sized island becomes the busiest spot in the house.

We decide early whether the island needs plumbing or power. Corbels or brackets support any deep overhang.

Seen in Stevenson Ranch

Island plumbing or a new gas line adds a week or two.

Our first questions
  • Measure every aisle
  • Choose island or peninsula
  • Plan island outlets
  • Avoid top seams

How much does island installation cost in Stevenson Ranch?

A finished island generally runs

$4,650–$18,500 per island.

A sink and seating push it toward the top.

Small rooms, smart choices

Small Kitchen Remodeling in Stevenson Ranch, CA

In a small kitchen, every inch has to earn its place.

A deeper sink and a single long counter add prep space. Light finishes and continuous counters keep it open. Associations may also set work hours, parking and dumpster rules. With so many homes in larger buildings, condo kitchens are a big part of our work here. In a condo, the association's rules usually cover work hours, elevator or stair use, flooring underlayment to control noise, water shutoffs that affect neighbors and insurance certificates from contractors.

Stevenson Ranch specifics

Stevenson Ranch homeowners associations require written approval from the Architectural Committee before exterior improvements, and the list covers things like painting, landscaping, hardscape, pools and spas, patio covers and gazebos. An interior kitchen remodel usually isn't on that list, but anything the kitchen changes outside, such as a new or resized window, a door to the patio, a hood vent through an exterior wall or an outdoor kitchen, may need committee approval before work starts. Stevenson Ranch proper and Westridge have different documents, so we read yours rather than assuming.

Our first questions
  • Run counters continuously
  • Choose compact appliances
  • Swap doors for drawers
  • Size the sink

Layout Planning

Design Ideas for Stevenson Ranch Kitchens

1990s kitchens. Typical features: white or light maple cabinets with raised panels, tile or early granite counters, almond or white appliances, a small island, an electric or gas cooktop with a wall oven and a fluorescent or recessed ceiling light. Many have already been updated once.

  • Thinking about resale: Stevenson Ranch is a community where buyers compare houses built by the same builders, so a well-done kitchen stands out. If you might sell within a few years, choose finishes with broad appeal: light cabinets, a calm quartz, a full-height range backsplash, stainless appliances with a real hood and a wood-look floor carried into the family room. If you're staying, add what you'll use every day: a second oven, a beverage drawer, a coffee station or a deeper island.
  • Condo and apartment kitchens: We gather the association's requirements before scheduling.
  • Galley kitchens: keep the work line straight and build storage upward instead of outward.

Price bands

Listed from lowest to highest starting price:

Refresh: counters, splash, lighting, hood

Counters, backsplash, sink and lighting on the existing cabinets.

Condo or compact kitchen

A full rebuild of a compact space. It covers rebuilding the whole room, which is why it can begin above the lightest band.

New cabinets, counters and appliances in place

A full finish replacement without layout changes.

$43,500–$82,000
Island rebuilt, pantry reworked, layout adjusted

$82,000–$154,000
Premium finishes or structural changes

Custom everything, sometimes with structural work.

$144,500–$241,000

Because the systems are modern, most Stevenson Ranch remodels land in the lower to middle part of their band. Moving the sink to a new island or adding a gas line pushes them up.

What Homeowners Say About Our Kitchen Team

FAQs

Frequently Asked in Stevenson Ranch

How expensive is a Stevenson Ranch kitchen remodel? +

Refreshes begin near $24,000; most new-cabinet remodels land at $43,500–$82,000, and layout changes run $82,000–$154,000.

Do I need HOA approval for an interior kitchen? +

Usually not, but exterior changes such as windows, doors and vents may need written Architectural Committee approval.

Are Westridge rules the same as Stevenson Ranch's? +

Not necessarily. They have different association documents, so we check yours.

What do condo associations usually require? +

Approval, work-hour limits, noise-rated underlayment and contractor insurance. Rules vary.

What is the timeline for a Stevenson Ranch kitchen? +

Because the systems in these houses rarely need replacing, Stevenson Ranch kitchens move faster than older ones. Design and selections usually take a few weeks, and County plan check for a same-layout remodel is often modest. Cabinets are the longest lead item, so we order them as soon as the drawings are final.

What if you find a problem behind the walls? +

We stop, show you, and price the fix in writing before continuing. Our first visit is designed to catch most of these early.
