The Right Image Approach

North Hollywood's
Vintage-Home Kitchen Contractor

North Hollywood is minutes from our shop on Burbank Boulevard in Valley Glen — so when we say we're a local NoHo kitchen contractor, we mean the crew that shows up has been remodeling these arts-district streets for over a decade.

The NoHo housing stock is what shapes the work. Much of the neighborhood is vintage 1920s–40s construction on older, smaller lots: character-filled homes with tight, closed-off kitchens, plaster walls, and original wiring and plumbing that have been patched over the decades. A North Hollywood kitchen remodel is usually two jobs in one — modernizing the finishes and re-planning a cramped layout so a small footprint finally works the way people live today.

We do all of it under one roof: demolition, framing, rough plumbing and electrical, cabinetry, countertop templating and installation, tile, and finish carpentry. No subcontractor roulette, no crews on different schedules. One team, one fixed-price contract, one point of contact from demo day to your final walkthrough.

And every permit is pulled and closed. North Hollywood falls under the City of LA, so we submit through LADBS and carry the project all the way to signed-off final inspection — not left open six months later like the "handyman special" down the block.

What We Build

Full Scope,
Nothing Farmed Out

01

Custom & Semi-Custom Cabinetry

Shaker, slab, inset, and Eurostyle cabinet programs built and installed by our own team — dovetail drawer boxes, soft-close hardware, pantry and organization systems. We size cabinetry to the real dimensions of a smaller vintage NoHo kitchen, squeezing usable storage out of every inch instead of a showroom rendering.

02

Stone & Quartz Countertops

We work directly with stone fabricators — no middleman markup. Quartz (Silestone, Cambria, Caesarstone, MSI), quartzite, granite, porcelain slab, and natural marble. Peninsulas, compact islands, integrated undermount sinks, and matched backsplash are all in scope, scaled to a smaller room.

03

Smart Layouts for Older Homes

The signature North Hollywood project: rethinking a small, closed 1920s–40s kitchen so it actually functions. We open the wall to the dining or living room where it makes sense, coordinate the structural engineering, beam sizing, temporary shoring, and LVL or steel install — all permitted through LADBS, all under our contract.

04

Tile, Backsplash & Flooring

Large-format porcelain, handmade ceramic, natural stone, subway, and zellige — installed by our in-house tile crew with proper edge and transition systems. New luxury vinyl plank or tile flooring flows the kitchen into the adjacent rooms once the wall is gone.

05

Appliance Integration

Panel-ready refrigerators, integrated dishwashers, range hood venting, pot-filler rough-in, under-cabinet LED, and microwave-drawer cutouts — all planned before cabinets go in, so nothing is hacked into a vintage wall afterward.

06

Electrical, Plumbing & Permits

Older NoHo homes almost always need electrical brought to current code — dedicated circuits, GFCI protection, island outlets, and panel work — plus re-plumbing where the original supply lines have aged out. We handle the rough-in, the LADBS inspections, and the sign-off, so the kitchen is safe and legal, not just pretty.

Building in North Hollywood

We Know These
Streets & These Homes

North Hollywood isn't one look — it's a patchwork, and the kitchen work changes block to block. Around the NoHo Arts District you find character homes and creative owners who want a kitchen with personality. In Toluca Woods and Bakman, it's tighter vintage 1920s–40s stock where the real win is a smart layout that makes a small kitchen feel twice its size and finally connects it to the rest of the house.

Because North Hollywood is City of Los Angeles, everything is permitted through LADBS. Valley submissions and inspections run out of the Van Nuys Development Services Center — a counter we're in and out of regularly. That local familiarity is why our plan-check turnaround tends to be faster than a contractor learning the process for the first time.

The other NoHo reality is age. These homes were wired and plumbed for a pre-war household, not a modern kitchen with an induction range, a dishwasher, and a beverage fridge. Nearly every remodel here includes a panel evaluation, code-compliant rewiring, and often re-piping a vintage kitchen — which we build into the fixed price up front, so it's never a "surprise" change order mid-project.

North Hollywood Kitchen FAQ

Questions We
Hear in North Hollywood

Do you handle the permits for a kitchen remodel in North Hollywood?+
Yes. North Hollywood is part of the City of Los Angeles, so your kitchen remodel is permitted through LADBS, with Valley submissions handled at the Van Nuys Development Services Center — a short drive from our Valley Glen office. We manage the entire process: plan submission, plan-check corrections, and scheduling the rough and final inspections. If we open a wall in one of NoHo's older homes, the structural drawings and beam calcs are part of our scope. You never set foot in a permit counter.
How much does a kitchen remodel cost in North Hollywood?+
Most North Hollywood kitchen remodels fall between roughly $32,000 for a cabinet-and-countertop refresh and $120,000+ for a full gut renovation with a reworked layout and structural changes. The vintage 1920s–40s homes common in NoHo often land in the middle of that range once you add new cabinets, quartz counters, tile, and electrical brought up to current code. We give you a fixed-price proposal after the on-site visit, so the number is committed — not a moving target. All figures are estimates pending your on-site consultation.
How long does a full kitchen remodel take in North Hollywood?+
A North Hollywood kitchen remodel typically runs 5–8 weeks from the construction start date. Refresh-level projects that keep the existing footprint finish faster; projects that move plumbing, upgrade an older panel, or take out a wall to open the kitchen add 1–2 weeks. In vintage NoHo homes we sometimes find outdated wiring or plumbing behind the walls, and we factor that reality into the schedule up front. You receive a committed milestone schedule before demolition begins.
Can you open up the layout in an older North Hollywood home?+
Yes — it's one of our most common NoHo requests. The vintage 1920s–40s homes here were built with small, closed kitchens on tight footprints. We design a smarter layout, remove the wall where it makes sense, size the LVL or steel beam with a structural engineer, install temporary shoring, and carry the whole thing through LADBS on permit. The beam, the shoring, the permit, and the inspection are all under our one contract, and we keep the design sympathetic to the home's arts-district character.
Can I stay in my home during the kitchen remodel?+
Most North Hollywood 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 will not be able to cook in the kitchen during active construction, so most clients set up a temporary kitchen in the garage or a spare room. 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 North Hollywood?+
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, minutes from North Hollywood, 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.
