Right Image Builders is a licensed general contractor remodeling kitchens across North Hollywood — the NoHo Arts District, Toluca Woods, and Bakman. We handle everything in-house: cabinets, countertops, tile, electrical, plumbing, and wall removal, with every permit pulled through LADBS and a design that respects NoHo's vintage character. Licensed & insured, CSLB #1021284, based minutes away in Valley Glen. Free on-site estimate: (818) 210-4544.
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 contract covers design, LADBS, City of Los Angeles 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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
