Right Image Builders is a licensed general contractor remodeling kitchens across Burbank — Magnolia Park, the Rancho equestrian district, and the Media District. We build custom cabinets, islands, and full renovations in-house, with every permit pulled through the City of Burbank's Building Division — Burbank runs its own permitting, separate from Los Angeles. Licensed & insured, CSLB #1021284, based a short drive west in Valley Glen. Free on-site estimate: (818) 210-4544.
Here's the thing most contractors get wrong in Burbank: it isn't Los Angeles. Burbank is its own incorporated city with its own Building Division, its own plan-check process, and its own inspection calendar. A crew that only knows the LADBS system finds that out the hard way, mid-project. We've worked Burbank for over a decade and we know its counter.
The homes here reward that local knowledge. Magnolia Park and Burbank's traditional neighborhoods are full of 1920s–40s Spanish and traditional houses — charming, solid, and built with small, closed-off kitchens that beg to be opened up. Our team handles every trade in-house: demo, framing, structural, cabinetry, stone, tile, and finish. One contract covers design, the City of Burbank Building & Safety Division, not LADBS and construction; the project lead who does your estimate at home runs the build, and the itemized fixed-price proposal follows within 3–5 business days.
And every permit is pulled through the City of Burbank and closed with a signed final inspection — the documentation that protects your home's value and keeps the work fully legal. We're based a short drive west in Valley Glen, close enough that your project lead is on-site regularly, not managing your Burbank kitchen from across the county.
Shaker, inset, and slab cabinet programs sized to the real dimensions of Burbank's older homes — dovetail drawer boxes, soft-close hardware, and organization systems, built and installed by our own team without a cabinet-only subcontractor.
Direct from stone fabricators — no middleman markup. Quartz, quartzite, granite, porcelain slab, and marble, with waterfall islands, integrated sinks, and matched backsplash all in scope.
Taking out the wall between a closed 1920s–40s kitchen and the living space — structural engineering, beam sizing, and shoring — all permitted through the City of Burbank Building Division, with care for the home's original character.
Large-format porcelain, handmade ceramic, natural stone, and zellige, plus wood and engineered flooring that flows the new kitchen into the rest of the home — installed by our in-house tile crew with proper edge and transition systems.
Panel-ready refrigeration, integrated dishwashers, range and hood venting, pot-filler rough-in, and under-cabinet LED — all planned before cabinets are set so nothing is hacked in afterward.
Burbank's older homes usually need electrical brought to current code — dedicated circuits, GFCI protection, island power. We handle the rough-in and the City of Burbank inspections and sign-off, so the kitchen is safe and legal.
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.
The single most important fact about remodeling in Burbank: it is not under Los Angeles. Burbank is its own incorporated city, and every permit runs through the City of Burbank's Building Division — its own plan check, its own fees, its own inspectors. A contractor who assumes the LADBS process will stumble here. We don't.
The neighborhoods each bring their own character. Magnolia Park is the heart of vintage Burbank — 1920s–40s Spanish and traditional homes near the Magnolia Boulevard shopping district. The Rancho District is Burbank's equestrian enclave, where horsekeeping and its associated setback rules shape what you can build and where. The Media District, near Warner Bros. and the studios, mixes traditional homes with a working-professional pace.
Across all of them, the kitchens are older and often closed off — which is exactly the work we love. Based a short drive west in Valley Glen, Burbank is a genuine home market for us: close, familiar, and permitted correctly the first time.
A kitchen remodel in Burbank starts with a free on-site visit and ends with one fixed, written price that covers the whole scope, the permit from the City of Burbank Building and Safety Division and the inspections, before any work begins.
The three things that change the price are the scope, what the house hides and the finishes you choose, and each is settled in writing before the crew moves on; final payment comes after your walkthrough.
If you want numbers before the visit, the kitchen remodel cost guide publishes the current planning ranges.
A senior team member visits your Burbank kitchen, reviews the layout and any Rancho-district or historic considerations, and gives you an honest read on cost and timeline.
Within 3–5 business days you get an itemized, fixed-price proposal — cabinets, stone, tile, electrical, City of Burbank permits, labor. The number is committed before we start.
One crew, all City of Burbank permits, your project lead on-site. We hand you a finished kitchen with a closed permit. Final payment only after your walkthrough approval.
Tell us about your kitchen and we'll get back to you within 4 business hours with next steps. No obligation, no sales pressure — just a straight answer on what your project takes.

We hired Right Image Builders for a full kitchen remodel and couldn't be happier. The owner personally showed up to every major milestone. The fixed-price contract was exactly what we needed — no surprise invoices, no scope creep. Our kitchen looks like it belongs in a magazine.
Our kitchen went from a 1980s relic to something out of Architectural Digest. Right Image Builders was meticulous with every detail — the cabinetry alignment, the backsplash grout, the countertop templating. Genuinely impressive work.
Two bathrooms, new hardwood floors, kitchen cabinets, and a laundry room — all in one project. Right Image Builders coordinated everything flawlessly. They answered every text within the hour. This is how construction is supposed to work.

Right Image Builders, a licensed general contractor (CSLB #1021284) based in Valley Glen about 15 minutes from Burbank, remodels kitchens across Magnolia Park, the Rancho equestrian district, the Media District under one fixed-price contract: design, permits through the City of Burbank, and construction by one crew, with final payment only after your walkthrough. 5.0★ on Google (45 reviews) and 4.9★ on Angi (103 reviews).
Go to cslb.ca.gov, choose "Check a License" and enter the number; ours is 1021284. Confirm the license is active, classified B (General Building Contractor), bonded, and shows workers' compensation. Then ask for a written fixed-price contract with scope, materials, schedule and payment terms; California law requires it, and it is the only way to hold any contractor to the promise.
Three things: the scope you choose, the condition of the house once we open it up, and the finish level. Each is settled in writing, first in the fixed price after the free on-site visit, then in a written change order if a Burbank house hides something, so the number never moves without your signature; the City of Burbank Building and Safety Division requirements are built in.
