What Burbank Walls
Usually Need
The houses we re-side in Burbank are mostly 1920s–40s Spanish and bungalow homes in Magnolia Park, ranch homes in the Rancho, hillside houses above Glenoaks. Around Magnolia Park, the Rancho equestrian district, the Media District and the hills above Glenoaks the walls tell the same story we see across the foothills: original stucco or wood from the first build, patched over the decades, with the weather barrier behind it long past its life.
On a Spanish or stucco house the honest answer is usually stucco again: a re-coat when the base is sound, a full three-coat re-stucco when it rings hollow or has let water in. On a 1950s ranch with original lap or board siding, fiber cement lap keeps the profile, takes paint and never feeds termites; it is what we install most. On a Craftsman or 1920s bungalow the clapboard profile is the house; fiber cement lap or engineered wood reproduces it, and the trim and water table are rebuilt rather than covered.
Either way the sequence does not change: tear-off to the sheathing, dry-rot and framing repair priced in writing, a new weather-resistive barrier with flashing at every window, deck ledger and corner, then the siding or lath. Burbank is 15 minutes from our Valley Glen office, so the same crew that measures the house builds it.
One Fixed Price,
Written Before We Start
Right Image Builders prices a siding replacement in Burbank the same way every time: a free on-site visit, a measured scope, the City of Burbank Building and Safety Division requirements checked for your address, and an itemized fixed price in writing within a few business days.

Permits and the Fire Code
in Burbank
Siding in Burbank is permitted by the City of Burbank Community Development Department, Building & Safety Division, 150 N Third St, not LADBS: Burbank reviews exterior changes on its own schedule, and the hillside streets above Glenoaks add a fire-zone check. A like-for-like re-side or re-stucco is usually a straightforward permit; a conversion or structural repair is an alteration permit. We pull it, schedule the inspections and close it before the final payment.
Parts of Burbank — the hillside and canyon streets — fall inside a mapped Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, where the 2025 California Wildland-Urban Interface Code applies to a re-side: a noncombustible wall covering such as fiber cement, metal or three-coat stucco, or fire-retardant-treated wood, with ember-resistant vents and listed eave and wall-base details. We check your parcel on the CAL FIRE and local fire-zone maps before the material is chosen; on the flats the standard rules apply.
Sources: 2025 California Wildland-Urban Interface Code (Title 24, Part 7), effective January 1, 2026, which replaced Chapter 7A; applies to alterations and repairs in Fire Hazard Severity Zones; coatings are not an approved method of protection (read); CAL FIRE Office of the State Fire Marshal: Fire Hazard Severity Zone maps and the Wildland-Urban Interface building materials listing (maps).

Ask About Siding
Both, with the same crew: siding in fiber cement, wood, engineered wood, metal or vinyl, and stucco repair, re-coat or full three-coat re-stucco, including conversions in either direction. Around Magnolia Park we often find stucco on the first floor and wood above; the joint between them is the detail most repairs come down to.
Right Image Builders pulls it, from the City of Burbank Building & Safety Division, not LADBS. Like-for-like siding or stucco is the simplest kind of permit, a conversion or structural repair takes an alteration permit and a mid-job inspection, and we hand you the closed permit with the warranty at the end.
Plan on 2–4 weeks for a single-story house in Burbank. Tear-off and dry-rot repair come first, the weather barrier and flashing next, then the siding or the three stucco coats with their curing days. Add scaffolding on a two-story or hillside house and the schedule stretches to 4–6 weeks; you stay in the house throughout.
Verify the CSLB license number at cslb.ca.gov (Right Image Builders is #1021284), ask for the insurance certificate, get the workmanship warranty in writing with its length (ours is ten years), and read the scope for the words weather-resistive barrier and flashing. A Burbank bid that only prices the boards is missing the part that keeps water out.
A fixed price, in writing, after the free on-site visit, not a running estimate. The scope is itemized line by line, the City of Burbank Building and Safety Division permit and inspections are inside it, and hidden conditions found during a Burbank job are priced in writing before any further work. For budget planning before the visit, the siding cost guide shows the current ranges.
