The Right Image Approach

Encino Kitchens,
Built for the Lot

Encino is one of the most affluent, design-driven markets in the San Fernando Valley — and it has the lots to match. The RA and RE zoning here produces some of the biggest single-family parcels in the Valley, which changes what a kitchen remodel can be. Encino homeowners aren't squeezing a galley open; they're building a genuine chef's kitchen with room to spare.

We're based just a short drive east in Valley Glen, and we've remodeled kitchens across Encino for more than a decade — from the flat estate streets of Amestoy Estates and Royal Oaks to the architectural homes up in the Encino Hills. 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 your final walkthrough.

The Encino difference is scale and site. On a big flat lot, the project is about a great-room layout, an oversized island, and a full professional appliance package. South of Ventura Boulevard, up in the hills, the same ambition runs into the City of LA Hillside Ordinance — access, staging, and delivery all have to be planned and permitted correctly. We build both realities into the schedule and the price up front.

And every permit is pulled through LADBS and closed with a signed final inspection — the documentation that protects an Encino home's value when it's time to sell or refinance.

What We Build

Full Scope,
Nothing Farmed Out

01

Custom & Semi-Custom Cabinetry

Full-custom and semi-custom programs sized to Encino's larger kitchens — long runs, floor-to-ceiling pantry walls, and integrated organization. Shaker, slab, inset, and Eurostyle, with dovetail boxes and soft-close hardware, built and installed by our own team.

02

Oversized Islands & Stone

Working direct with stone fabricators — no middleman markup. Quartz, quartzite, marble, and porcelain slab, with the large waterfall islands Encino's big-lot kitchens are built around, integrated sinks, and matched backsplash templated and installed to fit.

03

Great-Room & Structural

The signature Encino move: opening the kitchen into a full great room. We coordinate the structural engineering, beam sizing, temporary shoring, and LVL or steel install to take out the walls — all permitted through LADBS, all under our contract.

04

Tile, Backsplash & Flooring

Large-format porcelain, natural stone, handmade ceramic, and zellige, plus wide-plank and engineered wood flooring that carries the new kitchen through the great room — installed by our in-house crew with proper edge and transition detailing.

05

Professional Appliance Integration

Panel-ready refrigeration, integrated dishwashers, professional ranges and hood venting, pot-filler rough-in, beverage and wine columns, and layered lighting — all planned before cabinets are set, so the high-end appliances Encino homeowners choose fit precisely.

06

Electrical, Plumbing & Permits

Dedicated circuits, GFCI protection, island power and plumbing, and updated service for a full professional load — all rough-in permitted and inspected through LADBS, with Hillside Ordinance requirements handled on Encino Hills projects south of Ventura.

Building in Encino

Big Lots,
Bigger Kitchens

Encino's advantage is the land. The RA and RE zoning across the neighborhood produces some of the largest single-family lots in the Valley, and that space is exactly what lets an Encino kitchen become a true chef's kitchen. In the flat estate pockets of Amestoy Estates and Royal Oaks, we open kitchens into great rooms with oversized islands, walk-in pantries, and room for a full professional appliance run.

South of Ventura Boulevard, the neighborhood climbs into the Encino Hills, where the homes are larger and more architectural and the sites more demanding. This is where the City of LA Hillside Ordinance comes in — access, staging, and material delivery all have to be planned and permitted, even for an interior remodel. A flat-lot contractor rarely deals with it; we plan for it from day one.

Everything is City of Los Angeles, permitted through LADBS. We're based a short drive east in Valley Glen, so Encino is a genuine home market for us — close enough that a project lead can be on your site regularly, not managing your kitchen from across the county.

What It Costs

Encino Kitchen FAQ

Questions We
Hear in Encino

Do you handle the permits for a kitchen remodel in Encino?+
Yes. Encino is under the City of Los Angeles, so your kitchen remodel is permitted through LADBS. If your home is south of Ventura Boulevard up in the Encino Hills, the city's Hillside Ordinance can add grading, haul-route, and access requirements even for a remodel — we know that process and build it in from the start. We handle plan submission, plan-check corrections, and inspection sign-off from our Valley Glen office a short drive east; you never set foot in a permit counter.
How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Encino?+
Encino kitchen remodels typically run from about $45,000 for a high-quality cabinet-and-countertop refresh to $225,000+ for a big-lot chef's kitchen with structural changes and premium finishes. Because Encino's RA and RE lots are among the largest in the Valley, most full remodels of the area's ranch and traditional kitchens land in the $70,000–$120,000 range once you account for the bigger footprints. You receive a fixed-price proposal after the on-site visit. All figures are estimates pending your consultation.
Can you build a big-lot chef's kitchen with an oversized island in Encino?+
Yes — it is the signature Encino project. The large RA and RE-zoned lots here give us room to open the kitchen into a true great room with an oversized island, a walk-in pantry, and a full run of professional appliances. We coordinate the structural engineering, beam sizing, and shoring to take out the walls, template and build the island as the centerpiece, and carry the whole thing through LADBS on permit — all under one contract.
How long does a kitchen remodel take in Encino?+
An Encino kitchen remodel typically runs 6–9 weeks from the construction start date. The larger chef's-kitchen and open-concept projects common on Encino's big lots — removing walls, adding a beam, reconfiguring the layout, and integrating premium appliances — sit at the longer end, and hillside homes south of Ventura can add time for access and staging. You receive a committed milestone schedule before demolition begins.
Do you work on the hillside homes south of Ventura in Encino?+
Regularly. South of Ventura Boulevard, Encino runs up into the Encino Hills, where the homes are larger and more architectural but the sites are more demanding. On those properties the City of LA Hillside Ordinance can shape access, staging, and material delivery even for an interior kitchen remodel. We plan and permit those constraints from the first visit so a hillside kitchen never turns into a mid-project surprise.
Are you licensed and insured, and do you offer free estimates in Encino?+
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 east of Encino, so the on-site estimate is genuinely free and genuinely local — a senior member of our team, not a call-center appointment setter, comes to your home.
