Who We Are
G&M Home Remodeling provides full construction services throughout Burbank, from initial design consultations in Magnolia Park to final walkthroughs in the Rancho Equestrian neighborhood. We are a family-run operation, which means one point of contact, personal accountability, and a crew that shows up on schedule.
Burbank's housing stock skews heavily toward mid-century construction, with many homes built between the 1940s and 1970s. That era of building has its own quirks: original cast-iron drain lines, knob-and-tube electrical in some older walls, and kitchens that were designed around much smaller appliances than today's standards.
We've worked on these homes extensively. When we open a wall in a 1955 ranch-style home off Kenneth Road, we know what we're likely to find and how to handle it without turning a kitchen remodel into a months-long saga.
Whether you're planning a modest galley kitchen update in a Burbank condo near the Media District studios or a full open-concept expansion in a larger home in Toluca Lake, we approach every project with the same level of craftsmanship and care.

Costs & Reality
Burbank sits in a relatively expensive labor market compared to the Inland Empire, but is competitive within the San Fernando Valley. Material and labor costs fluctuate, and the gap between a $25,000 and a $75,000 kitchen remodel usually comes down to three things: cabinet quality, countertop material, and whether structural changes are involved.

FAQ
Honest answers about process, cost, permits, and what to expect when you remodel in Burbank.
Full 2026 Cost GuideIt depends on the scope. Cosmetic work like painting, new hardware, and replacing appliances in the same location typically does not require a permit. But if you're moving plumbing, adding circuits, relocating walls, or installing a range hood vent, permits are required through the City of Burbank Building and Safety Division. We handle all permit applications as part of our service, so you never have to navigate that process alone.
A straightforward kitchen remodel, no structural changes, runs 4 to 6 weeks of active construction once materials are on-site. Add 2-4 weeks upfront for permit approval from the City of Burbank, and 1-3 weeks for cabinet lead times. Full project timeline from signed contract to finished kitchen is typically 8 to 14 weeks for most Burbank homes.
Post-war Burbank homes are well-built but come with age-related infrastructure. The most common issues we encounter are: galvanized steel drain lines that have corroded and should be replaced, undersized electrical panels that can't handle modern kitchen appliances, and original single-pane windows in kitchen areas that are now required to meet energy efficiency code if replaced. None of these are deal-breakers, but they should be budgeted for. We flag anything unusual during demolition and present options before any additional work begins.
Yes, but it requires structural engineering. In most mid-century Burbank homes, the wall between the kitchen and living room is load-bearing. Removing or modifying it requires a licensed engineer's stamp and a structural permit. We coordinate this regularly and can bring in our engineering partners. Budget an additional $3,000-$8,000 for the beam, posts, and engineering depending on span length.
We commit to a same-day callback for any inquiry received during business hours. Demand for kitchen remodels in the Burbank and greater Los Angeles area is high, especially in spring and fall. Early booking is genuinely worthwhile if you're targeting a specific season. We can typically schedule a free in-home consultation within 3-5 business days of your first call.
