Remodeling Company in Burbank, CA
Home remodeling in Burbank typically runs $9,000 to $130,000 depending on whether you’re updating a small bathroom or adding a second story. We’re Penhallow Remodeling, and we work across Burbank’s older Spanish Colonial homes and post-war ranch houses, where lath-and-plaster walls, outdated electrical panels, and hillside foundation work change how every job is priced and planned. Call (213) 277-6578 to get a written price before any work starts.
Why Burbank Homes Are Different
Burbank’s housing stock splits into two very different construction eras, and each one presents its own set of remodeling challenges. In Magnolia Park and the Rancho district, you’ll find 1920s and 1930s Spanish Colonial and Storybook homes with original lath-and-plaster walls, unreinforced masonry foundations, and floor plans that were never designed for modern kitchens or bathrooms. These houses need careful structural work before any cosmetic upgrade happens. The 1950s through 1970s ranch-style homes in the hills and along the Verdugo foothills come with a different set of problems: aging electrical panels that can’t handle today’s appliance loads, galvanized plumbing that has corroded from the inside, and drywall that has shifted with decades of soil movement.
The climate adds another layer. Burbank’s hot, dry summers and Santa Ana wind events mean exterior materials take a beating from UV exposure, and foothill properties face wildfire defensible-space requirements that affect siding choices and accessory structure placement. Up in the Rancho Equestrian District, homes often have stables and outbuildings that require specialized permits to maintain the area’s rural character. None of this is a reason to avoid a remodel, but it is exactly why a written price, agreed before demolition, matters more here than in a city full of newer tract homes.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Burbank Services
Most Burbank homeowners call us first about one of three things: a full-home project that needs a general contractor to coordinate trades and permits, a bathroom that has stopped working for the household, or a kitchen that has outlived its layout. Here’s what each looks like in Burbank specifically.
General Contractor in Burbank
When a Burbank remodel touches structure, electrical, plumbing, or an older foundation, you need one person accountable for the whole job. As your General Contractor in Burbank, we sequence the trades, pull permits, and keep the schedule honest, including the extra steps Burbank’s older homes require, like verifying what’s behind lath-and-plaster walls before any framing changes. Every job starts with a written price and a written 365-day guarantee.
Bathroom Remodeling in Burbank
Bathrooms in Burbank’s 1940s and 1950s homes were built small, often with a single vanity and a tub that no longer works for the household. Our Bathroom Remodeling in Burbank service handles everything from tub-to-shower conversions to full gut renovations, including the galvanized pipe replacement and subfloor repair these older homes almost always need once the walls are open. You’ll get a written price before we order a single fixture.
Kitchen Remodeling in Burbank
Burbank kitchens in pre-war homes were designed for small appliances and closed-off layouts, while the ranchers from the 1960s and 70s often have load-bearing walls where today’s homeowners want open sightlines. Our Kitchen Remodeling in Burbank work covers cabinet replacement, countertop installation, island builds, and the structural work required to remove a wall safely. We install KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry and Cambria or Silestone quartz, each with its own manufacturer warranty alongside our written guarantee.

Home Remodeling in Burbank
Home remodeling in Burbank means working inside homes that are 60 to 100 years old, where original lath-and-plaster, unreinforced foundations, and outdated electrical systems set the real budget. It’s the broadest job we do, covering everything from a single room to a whole-house renovation, and it always starts the same way: a written price and a written guarantee before demolition day. If you’re planning a Home Remodeling project, the first question is usually scope, and the honest answer depends on what’s behind your walls. Here are the sub-jobs we handle most in Burbank.
Home Remodeling Contractor
Signs you need it
You have a project that spans multiple trades, like moving a kitchen, opening a wall, and re-plumbing a bathroom, and you need one accountable contractor instead of three separate crews.
What it costs in Burbank
Home remodeling contractor work in Burbank typically runs $45,000 to $130,000 for a full home addition and $14,000 to $45,000 for a kitchen remodel, depending on structural work and finish selections.
How we do it
We walk the space, document what’s behind the walls, and produce a written line-item price that covers structural work, permits, materials, and the 365-day guarantee.
Whole House Remodel
Signs you need it
You’re living with multiple failing systems at once: original wiring that trips breakers, galvanized pipes that run brown at first draw, cracked plaster, and a layout that doesn’t fit your household anymore.
What it costs in Burbank
A whole house remodel in Burbank typically lands between $45,000 and $130,000, driven by the structural and systems work older homes require before finish materials go in.
How we do it
We phase the work so you can stay in the home when possible, starting with structural and systems upgrades, then moving room by room through finishes, with the written price holding from start to finish.
Home Renovation
Signs you need it
Your home is structurally sound but looks and functions like the decade it was built, with outdated finishes, worn flooring, and a floor plan that no longer suits how you live.
What it costs in Burbank
A home renovation in Burbank typically runs $9,000 to $45,000 depending on whether you’re redoing one room or updating several spaces at once.
How we do it
We establish the renovation scope room by room, present a written price that matches the materials and finishes you’ve chosen, and schedule the work with a defined arrival window.

Call (213) 277-6578 and we’ll walk the property and hand you a written number.
