Full Kitchen Remodel
Custom kitchen remodeling in Thousand Oaks by Construction by Maya. The kitchen is the heart of your home, a place where memories are made, meals are shared, and families come together.
Most Thousand Oaks homes were built between the 1960s and the 1990s, and their kitchens show it. Closed-off layouts, a wall between cooking and living, and cabinetry that has outlived three sets of appliances. Opening those kitchens up is the single most common project we take on here.
Founder Hila Hemo leads our boutique team with a listening-first approach. First, we design your new kitchen with you. Then our licensed team handles permits, structure and construction. Finally, we hand back a room your family actually wants to spend time in. Above all, pricing stays clear at every step.
We tailor every kitchen renovation in Thousand Oaks to your home and lifestyle. Moreover, we bring every trade under one roof. So your project runs with one team and one clear plan, from a stylish refresh to a full gut renovation.
Custom-built and semi-custom cabinets with smart storage, soft-close hardware and finishes matched to your style.
Quartz, granite and natural stone countertops with designer backsplashes installed with precision.
Wall removals, kitchen islands and full layout reconfiguration for better flow, light and entertaining.
Recessed lighting, pendants, under-cabinet lighting and updated electrical for a bright, modern kitchen.
Durable, beautiful flooring options from hardwood to tile, plus paint and trim for a cohesive finish.
Sink, faucet and fixture upgrades plus seamless installation of new appliances, ranges and hoods.
The decade your home was built predicts most of what your kitchen project will involve, from where the load-bearing wall sits to whether the panel can carry a second oven. Here is what we typically find across the city's housing stock.
Most contractors will not discuss numbers until they are standing in your kitchen. We think that wastes your time. Below are the ranges we typically see for Thousand Oaks and Conejo Valley kitchens, with realistic timelines from demolition to final walkthrough.
| Kitchen Scope | Typical Investment | Typical Timeline | What Drives The Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cosmetic Refresh | $18,000 - $35,000 | 2 to 4 weeks | Cabinet refacing, counters, backsplash and paint with the layout unchanged |
| Mid-Range Full Remodel | $45,000 - $85,000 | 6 to 10 weeks | New semi-custom cabinetry, quartz counters, flooring, lighting and appliances |
| Open Concept Conversion | $70,000 - $130,000 | 8 to 14 weeks | Wall removal, structural beam, engineering, permits and rerouted plumbing or electrical |
| High-End Custom Kitchen | $120,000 - $250,000+ | 12 to 20 weeks | Full custom cabinetry, natural stone slabs, pro appliance package and detailed millwork |
| Compact or Galley Kitchen | $30,000 - $60,000 | 4 to 7 weeks | Square footage, storage solutions and whether the footprint changes |
| Kitchen Plus Adjacent Space | $95,000 - $200,000 | 10 to 16 weeks | Extending finishes into dining, pantry or family room for one continuous space |
These ranges reflect typical Thousand Oaks and Conejo Valley kitchen scopes. They are a planning guide, not a quote. After we walk your kitchen, you receive a written, itemized price with no hidden allowances.
Our kitchen remodeling process in Thousand Oaks stays simple, transparent and collaborative. First, we listen. Then, we plan every detail with you. Because of this, you feel confident from the first call to the final reveal.
First, we meet in your Thousand Oaks home. We learn how you cook, gather and live in your kitchen.
Next, we define the design in detail. You get cabinetry and material selections, realistic timelines and clear pricing in writing.
Then our crew handles demolition, construction and installation with precision. Meanwhile, you receive regular updates and a clean job site.
Finally, we complete a careful walkthrough together. Every cabinet, counter and detail must meet our high standards, and yours.
In Thousand Oaks, the wall between the kitchen and the family room is load-bearing more often than not, particularly in the two-story tract homes built through the 1980s. Removing it is entirely doable. However, it turns a finish project into a structural one, with engineering, a beam and a permit attached.
We answer that question before you fall in love with a layout. First, we determine what the wall is carrying. Then we price the beam and engineering honestly, so the open-concept version and the keep-the-wall version sit side by side in your estimate and you choose with real numbers.
Send us a photo of your kitchen and the year your home was built. We will tell you what is likely behind that wall and roughly what opening it up would cost.
Book A Free ConsultationWe bring kitchen renovation expertise to every Thousand Oaks neighborhood and the Conejo Valley. Also, we know the local HOA rules and city permits well. As a result, your project keeps moving without delays.
Photos say more than any promise. Here is a look at recent kitchen and interior work from our team across the Conejo Valley and greater Los Angeles.
A kitchen remodel opens up endless possibilities. For example, you can create a chef-grade cooking space, a bright open-concept layout or simply a smarter kitchen for family life. As a trusted contractor in Thousand Oaks, we turn those ideas into reality.
There is no shortage of kitchen contractors in the Conejo Valley. Here is what makes working with a small, owner-run team different.
Soffits, load-bearing walls and undersized panels repeat across Thousand Oaks by decade. Because we have opened these kitchens before, fewer things surprise us mid-build.
Hila and Moses are on your kitchen, not a rotating cast of project managers. The person who quotes your job is the person who answers your call in week seven.
Where a wall is in question, we price both versions. Consequently, you decide between open concept and closed with actual figures rather than a guess.
Layouts, cabinetry styles and material selections come with the build. Therefore you are not paying a separate designer to translate your vision into something a crew can construct.
Floor protection, dust barriers and daily cleanup are standard, and we help you set up a temporary kitchen. Above all, we remember you still have to feed your family.
License #1034501, general liability and workers compensation on every job. In addition, we provide current certificates before work starts, without you having to ask twice.
Our reputation rests on trust and care. Above all, we deliver on our promises. So read what homeowners across Thousand Oaks, Calabasas and the Conejo Valley say about our team.
The kitchens that come out best are the ones where these six things were settled before the first bid. We will work through all of them with you at your consultation, at no cost.
It tells us more than almost anything else. Wiring, panel size, soffits and structure all follow the decade, and all of them affect what your kitchen will cost.
Open is not automatically right. Some Thousand Oaks floor plans lose their dining room and gain noise. We will tell you honestly when keeping the wall is the better call.
A daily cook needs prep space, ventilation and durable surfaces. Someone who entertains monthly needs seating and flow. The layout should follow real use.
Induction ranges, second ovens and full recessed lighting all add load. On a 1970s panel, that upgrade belongs in the budget from day one.
Five more years and forever lead to different cabinetry and appliance choices. If resale is likely, we steer toward finishes that hold value in this market.
Tell us the budget you actually have, not the one you think we want to hear. Then we design to it honestly, instead of value-engineering under pressure later.
