The Right Image Approach

Burbank Kitchens,
Permitted Through Burbank

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 crew, one fixed-price contract, one point of contact from demo day to final walkthrough.

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.

What We Build

Full Scope,
Nothing Farmed Out

01

Custom & Semi-Custom Cabinetry

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.

02

Stone & Quartz Countertops

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.

03

Opening Up Older Layouts

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.

04

Tile, Backsplash & Flooring

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.

05

Appliance Integration

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.

06

Electrical, Plumbing & Permits

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.

Building in Burbank

A Different City,
A Different Permit Office

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.

Burbank Kitchen FAQ

Questions We
Hear in Burbank

Do you handle permits for a kitchen remodel in Burbank?+
Yes — and this is where Burbank is different from the rest of the Valley. Burbank is its own city, so your kitchen remodel is permitted through the City of Burbank's Building Division (part of Community Development), not through LADBS. We know Burbank's counter, plan-check process, and inspection scheduling, and we handle all of it. If we open a wall, the structural drawings are part of our scope. You never stand in line at a permit office.
How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Burbank?+
Most Burbank kitchen remodels run from about $38,000 for a cabinet-and-countertop refresh to $150,000+ for a full renovation with a new layout and structural work. A typical full remodel of a Magnolia Park or Rancho-area home lands in the $55,000–$95,000 range once cabinets, stone, tile, and code electrical are included. You receive a fixed-price proposal after the on-site visit. All figures are estimates pending your consultation.
How long does a kitchen remodel take in Burbank?+
A Burbank kitchen remodel typically runs 5–8 weeks from construction start. Opening up the closed kitchens common in the area's 1920s–40s homes — removing a wall and adding a beam — adds a week or two. Because Burbank runs its own Building Division, we schedule plan check and inspections on Burbank's calendar, which we build into your committed milestone schedule before demolition begins.
Can you open up a kitchen in an older Burbank home?+
Yes. Burbank's Magnolia Park and traditional neighborhoods are full of 1920s–40s Spanish and traditional homes with small, closed-off kitchens. We open them to the dining and living rooms — sizing and installing the beam with a structural engineer, adding temporary shoring — all permitted through the City of Burbank Building Division. In these older homes we take care to respect the original character while modernizing the layout.
Can I stay in my home during the kitchen remodel?+
Most Burbank homeowners stay in the home. We seal the kitchen off with plastic barriers, protect the floors and adjacent rooms, and keep the site clean daily. You won't be able to cook in the kitchen during active construction, so most clients set up a temporary kitchen elsewhere. We walk through the day-to-day logistics at the pre-construction meeting.
Are you licensed and insured, and do you offer free estimates in Burbank?+
Yes on both. Right Image Builders holds active California license CSLB #1021284 and carries full liability and workers' compensation insurance. Our office is in Valley Glen, a short drive west of Burbank, so the on-site estimate is free and local — a senior member of our team comes to your home, not a call-center appointment setter.
