Kitchen remodeling contractor in Los Angeles: Right Image Builders (CSLB #1021284) designs and builds kitchens across the San Fernando Valley, Burbank, Glendale and the Westside with its own crew — cabinets, counters, islands, lighting, plumbing and electrical, and the wall removals that open a 1950s layout. Typical build 5–8 weeks on site once permits are issued; one fixed written price after a free on-site estimate.

A kitchen remodel in Los Angeles is rarely just about the finishes. It's about the layout that never worked — the island you've wanted since you bought the house — the wall between the kitchen and the living room that makes the whole space feel smaller than it is. It's about finally getting it right.
Right Image Builders handles kitchen remodels differently than most contractors you'll interview. We don't subcontract the tile to one crew, the cabinetry to another, and the plumbing to a third — then hope the schedules align. Our team does all of it: the demo, the framing, the rough plumbing and electrical, the cabinetry installation, the countertop templating and installation, the tile, the finish carpentry, the paint. One crew, one schedule, one point of contact.
We pull every permit through LADBS or your city's building department. We handle plan check responses, structural coordination when walls come out, and final inspections. When we hand you the keys to your new kitchen, the permit is closed — not still open six months later because a "contractor" skipped the inspection.
We work with trusted LA cabinet manufacturers on both full-custom and semi-custom programs — dovetail drawer boxes, soft-close hardware, integrated organizational systems. Shaker, slab, Eurostyle, inset, glass fronts, open shelving — your specification, built and installed by our team without a cabinet-only subcontractor.
We work directly with stone fabricators — eliminating the middleman markup that most contractors build in. Quartz (Silestone, Cambria, Caesarstone, MSI), natural marble (Calacatta, Statuario, Carrara), quartzite, porcelain slabs, granite. Waterfall edges, integrated sinks, matched backsplash, pot filler rough-in — all in scope.
Opening up a kitchen to the living room often means removing a load-bearing wall. We coordinate the structural engineering, beam sizing, temporary shoring, and LVL installation — all permitted through LADBS or your city's building department. This is handled under our contract, not handed off to a separate structural contractor you have to manage.
Large-format porcelain (24×24, 24×48, book-matched slabs), handmade ceramic, natural stone, subway, zellige, herringbone, chevron — installed by our in-house tile crew with proper Schluter or similar edge/transition systems. Heated floor rough-in available. We don't outsource tile to a separate crew on a different schedule.
Panel-ready refrigerators, integrated dishwashers, range hood design and venting (exterior venting or recirculating where structural allows), pot filler rough-in and installation, under-cabinet lighting (hardwired LED), microwave drawer rough-in, wine fridge cutout — all planned and built before cabinets go in, not hacked in after.
Kitchen electrical is complex — dedicated circuits for refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, range, and disposal; GFCI protection throughout; under-cabinet lighting circuits; island outlet placement per code. Plumbing includes supply and drain for island sinks, pot filler, and dishwasher. All rough-in under permit, all inspected and signed off before finishes go in.
Professional, licensed and insured, and we put that in writing at every step, because a remodel is a trust decision before it is a construction decision.
California general contractor license CSLB #1021284 (General Building B), active since 2016, with general liability and workers' compensation insurance. Check the license yourself at cslb.ca.gov before you sign anything, with us or anyone else.
The proposal lists what is demolished, what is built, which finishes are included and which permit covers it. If it is not written down, it is not in the job.
When walls, floors or roofs open up we photograph what is behind them and send you the pictures. Anything beyond the scope is priced in writing before the crew continues. You never find out from the invoice.
California law caps a home-improvement deposit at $1,000 or 10 percent of the contract, whichever is less. We follow it. Progress payments follow the work, and the final payment comes after your walkthrough.
We submit the plans, meet the inspector and close the permit. You get the closed-permit record, which is what a buyer, an insurer or an appraiser will ask for.
The people who estimate the job are the people who build it. No subcontractor hand-offs, no call center; your project lead answers the phone during the job and after it.
Every kitchen remodel in Los Angeles gets one fixed, written price after a free on-site visit: we measure the house, check what LADBS requires for the lot and price the whole scope before you sign anything.
What moves the number is the scope you choose, the condition we find behind the walls and the finish level, never a surprise invoice: anything we uncover during the work is priced in writing before the crew continues, and the final payment comes after your walkthrough.

A kitchen is rarely the only thing on the list. Many clients pair it with a bathroom remodel, open up the floor plan as part of a full home remodel, or gain square footage with a room or second-story addition. When the goal is rental income or space for family, a detached ADU often makes better use of the budget. We also handle commercial tenant improvements and build-outs. See what clients say about working with us.
