Fast, Reliable Home Remodeling Across Van Nuys
Most Van Nuys homeowners call us with the same two questions: what will this cost, and who is actually coming to my house. Fair questions. A whole-home or kitchen remodel in Van Nuys typically runs $14,000 to $45,000 for a kitchen and $45,000 to $130,000 for a full addition, and the price should be written down before anyone swings a hammer. We put every price in writing before work begins, and every crew member who arrives at your door has been background-checked, identity-verified, and introduced to you by name and photo before the visit. Call (803) 680-2547 and we’ll walk you through what your project will actually cost.
Why Mason Remodeling Is Van Nuys’s Preferred Home Remodeling Company
We have worked in Van Nuys long enough to know that the homes here do not always match their paperwork. Many of the post-war builds near Van Nuys Boulevard, Sherman Way, and Victory Boulevard have been modified over the decades, so the wall structure, plumbing, and wiring behind the drywall often differ from the original plans on file at the city. That matters when you open a wall. A remodeler who assumes the house matches the blueprints is the remodeler who discovers surprises at your expense. We plan for what Van Nuys homes actually are, not what they were supposed to be in 1952.
Every project gets the same treatment. Isaac Pruett runs our crew verification through the Threshold Standard: each technician is background-checked, arrives in a clean marked uniform, shows a photo ID badge at the door, and is introduced by name and photo before the visit. A live person answers our phones around the clock, every day of the year. And every completed project is covered by a written guarantee with clearly stated terms, including the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if the work is not right within a year of completion, we make it right at no cost to you.

Home Remodeling Companies in Van Nuys
Home Remodeling Companies in Van Nuys range from one-truck operators to large design-build firms, and the difference between them shows up in the contract. The job itself is straightforward: you want to change how your home functions, and that means planning, demolition, rough-in, installation, finishing, and inspection. What separates a good company from a painful one is whether the scope is written down, the price is fixed, and the crew is verified. Our Home Remodeling team delivers a written price before any work starts, on every project, every time.
What a Van Nuys homeowner actually needs is a company that handles City of Los Angeles permits, schedules inspections, and manages the trade sequence without drama. You should not be coordinating electricians, plumbers, and inspectors yourself. That is the job you are paying for.
Kitchen and Bath Remodeling
Kitchen remodels in Van Nuys run $14,000 to $45,000 depending on cabinet grade, countertop material, and whether you move plumbing or walls. Small kitchens start around $9,000 to $20,000. Bathrooms run $9,000 to $28,000 for a full gut, while a small bathroom remodel falls between $5,000 and $12,000.
We install KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, Cambria and Caesarstone surfaces, and Kohler, Moen, and Toto fixtures. These are specification-grade products, not big-box stock, and they hold up to the Valley’s dry heat and hard water.
Additions and Structural Work
A home addition in Van Nuys costs $45,000 to $130,000 and requires a full plan check through the Van Nuys building department under City of Los Angeles rules. Load-bearing changes need engineering, permits, and inspections, and skipping any of that creates rework and failed inspections later. Structural repairs fall here too, and they are the one place we never cut corners.
Whole House Remodel in Van Nuys
A Whole House Remodel in Van Nuys means taking the home down to studs in stages or all at once, and it is the single biggest investment most homeowners make. The realistic range for a full whole-house remodel in this market typically lands between $45,000 and $130,000 depending on square footage and how much plumbing, electrical, and structural work the house needs. The advantage in Van Nuys is that most homes are single-story with accessible crawl spaces, which makes re-running plumbing and electrical less invasive than in a two-story home.
We took on a whole house remodel near Van Nuys Boulevard where the original scope was a reconfigured kitchen with KraftMaid cabinets and Caesarstone counters. Once we demoed to rough-in, we found the subfloor had old termite and moisture damage that was not visible before. We wrote up a change order with photos before touching anything, re-sheeted the subfloor, and kept the rest of the scope intact. The client signed off, we passed inspection, and closed the punch list on schedule. That is how change orders should work: documented, photographed, and approved before the work happens.
What Gets Replaced During a Whole Home Remodel
Most whole house remodels in Van Nuys include new flooring, window and door replacement, kitchen and bath work, and often a roof or electrical panel upgrade. Floor installation alone can range from $4,500 to $15,000 for windows, and a roof replacement runs $8,000 to $20,000. We bundle these trades so you are not juggling five contractors.
Basement finishing is rare here because most Van Nuys homes are slab-on-grade, but garage conversions are common and run $30,000 to $80,000. We handle those as full projects with permits, not as unpermitted bonus rooms.
The Sequence of Work
A whole house remodel in Van Nuys follows a set order: demo, rough-in for electrical and plumbing, inspection, insulation and drywall, finish trades, final inspection. You should know this calendar before work begins, and any change to it should be communicated in writing. We provide that schedule with your written price.
Trusted Brands We Service in Van Nuys
We stock and install parts and finishes from brands Van Nuys homeowners already trust, including KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, Cambria and Caesarstone counters, and Kohler and Moen fixtures. We also work with modern ADU and prefab systems from Dvele, Cover, and Mighty Buildings for accessory dwelling units and garage conversions. Because we source directly through our specification-grade partnerships, Van Nuys customers get vetted professional products without markup games, and we keep common replacement parts on hand for faster turnaround on punch-list items across the Van Nuys area.
Common Home Remodeling Problems We See in Van Nuys Homes
- Hidden subfloor damage from termites and moisture. The Valley’s dry summers and occasional heavy rains create ideal conditions for termites in older crawl spaces and slab edges. We have opened floors in Van Nuys and found damage that never showed on the surface.
- Unpermitted additions from previous owners. Many Van Nuys homes have enclosed patios or converted garages that were never permitted. When you remodel, the city can flag that work, and bringing it to code adds real cost.
- Outdated electrical panels and aluminum wiring. Post-war builds in the area often still run on 60-amp or 100-amp panels. A remodel that adds a kitchen or bath usually requires a panel upgrade to pass inspection.
- Plumbing rough-in surprises. Cast iron drain lines in older Van Nuys homes corrode from the inside. You cannot see it until the wall or floor is open, and replacing a section mid-project is common.
