Kitchen Remodeling · Burbank, CA
Custom cabinets and full remodels for Burbank's Magnolia Park, Rancho, and Media District homes — one team, permitted through the City of Burbank's own Building Division, not LADBS.
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: (888) 357-9992.
The Right Image Approach
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
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.
Building in Burbank
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.
What It Costs
| Project Tier | Typical Range | What's Involved |
|---|---|---|
| Refresh | $38K–$58K | New cabinets and stone counters in the existing footprint, backsplash, fixtures, and lighting — a strong update to the same layout. |
| Full Remodel | $58K–$95K | Gut renovation with new electrical and plumbing to code, cabinetry, stone, tile, and appliances — the typical Magnolia Park or Rancho project. |
| Open-Concept | $95K–$150K+ | Everything in a full remodel plus load-bearing wall removal, structural beam, and a reconfigured layout opening the kitchen to the living space. |
Ranges are typical Burbank estimates for planning only and depend on scope, finishes, and City of Burbank permit requirements. Your fixed-price proposal is set after the free on-site consultation. [VERIFY — owner to confirm current cost ranges before publish.]
