AfterRemodeling Company in Burbank, CA
Home remodeling in Burbank runs $45,000 – $130,000 for whole-home projects, with most homeowners calling us after discovering their post-WWII tract home needs more than a cosmetic refresh. We’re Penhallow Remodeling, and we serve Burbank families from our Los Angeles scheduling office with crews who know the local conditions: heat-stressed framing, airport height restrictions, and fire-hazard zones that change what you can build and how you build it. Call (936) 259-2607 for a written estimate before any work starts.
Our home remodeling work covers everything from opening up a 1950s Magnolia Park floor plan to full gut renovations in the Rancho area, always with our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. Burbank’s housing stock demands specific expertise that valley contractors from Glendale or Pasadena rarely encounter.
Why Burbank Homes Are Different
Burbank’s residential core is post-WWII tract construction, mostly stucco-over-wood-frame on raised or slab foundations built between the 1940s and 1960s. These homes weren’t designed for modern open plans or the electrical loads of today’s kitchens, so we regularly find undersized panels, galvanized plumbing, and cripple walls that need seismic bracing before we can safely reconfigure a layout.
The climate here is brutal on materials. Burbank sits in the San Fernando Valley heat sink and routinely exceeds 105°F in summer, accelerating roofing membrane failure, caulk degradation, and expansion-joint separation. Summer exterior work requires adjusted scheduling and strict heat-illness protocols for our crews.
Then there’s the airport. Hollywood Burbank Airport’s FAA Part 77 airspace surfaces impose hard vertical limits across significant portions of the city. We’ve seen otherwise code-compliant second-story additions killed by FAA Form 7460-1 obstruction evaluations that add weeks to permitting. Foothills neighborhoods along the Verdugo Mountains fall within Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones, requiring Chapter 7A ignition-resistant construction: ember-resistant vents, Class A roofing, and fire-rated soffits on any substantial remodel.
Our Main Burbank Services
Most Burbank homeowners who call us start with one of these three projects:
General Contractor in Burbank
We manage full-scale construction projects from permit pull to final inspection, coordinating seismic upgrades, electrical panel replacements, and structural modifications that Burbank’s older housing stock demands. Our crews understand the city’s dual-track permitting when FAA review is required, and we build that timeline into every written schedule. General Contractor in Burbank
Bathroom Remodeling in Burbank
Burbank bathrooms from the 1950s and 1960s typically need full gut renovation: galvanized drain lines, ungrounded outlets, and moisture-damaged cement board behind original tile. We replumb with copper or PEX, upgrade to GFCI-protected circuits, and install moisture-resistant cement board substrate (the layer behind your tile that stops mold). Bathroom Remodeling in Burbank
Kitchen Remodeling in Burbank
Kitchens in Burbank’s post-war tracts were built for one cook with minimal counter space and 60-amp service. We rewire for 200-amp panels, open load-bearing walls with proper beam specification, and install KraftMaid or Wellborn cabinetry with Cambria or Silestone countertops. Every kitchen gets a written price before demolition day. Kitchen Remodeling in Burbank

Home Remodeling in Burbank
Whole-home remodeling in Burbank addresses the reality of owning a 60-to-80-year-old house in a city where airport airspace, fire hazard zones, and summer heat all constrain what you can build and how you must build it. Most of our Burbank clients bought for the location and the lot but need the floor plan, systems, and energy performance brought up to modern standards without triggering FAA review or Chapter 7A compliance costs they didn’t budget for. We map these constraints in our first site visit so your written estimate reflects real permitting timelines and material requirements.
Whole House Remodel
Signs you need it
Your electrical panel still has fuses, your galvanized plumbing is failing at joints, and you’ve got three small bedrooms where you need two with a real primary suite.
What it costs in Burbank
A whole house remodel in Burbank typically runs $45,000 – $130,000 depending on whether we’re reconfiguring load-bearing walls, replacing all systems, and navigating FAA or fire-zone requirements.
How we do it
We start with a structural assessment and permit research, then sequence mechanical upgrades before we open walls, finish with insulation and drywall, and walk through with you before final sign-off.
Home Renovation
Signs you need it
Your home functions but feels dated: original windows, worn flooring, a kitchen from 1987, and bathrooms that work but depress you.
What it costs in Burbank
Home renovation projects in Burbank typically fall between $9,000 for focused room updates and $55,000 for more extensive kitchen and bath overhauls with mid-grade finishes.
How we do it
We preserve what’s sound, replace what’s failing, and coordinate finishes across rooms so the result feels intentional, not patched together.
What Home Remodeling Costs in Burbank
| Item | Typical range in Burbank |
|---|---|
| Home Addition | $45,000 – $130,000 |
| ADU Construction | $90,000 – $220,000 |
| Garage Conversion | $30,000 – $80,000 |
Do I need FAA approval for a second story in Burbank?
If your property sits within Hollywood Burbank Airport’s Part 77 airspace surfaces, yes, and the city won’t finalize your permit without it. We check this in our first site visit and build the FAA Form 7460-1 timeline into your written schedule so you’re not surprised by a six-week delay. Call (936) 259-2607 and we’ll verify your property’s status before you commit to design.
How do fire hazard zones affect my remodel cost?
Properties in Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones along the Verdugo Mountains must meet Chapter 7A standards: Class A roofing, ember-resistant vents, and fire-rated soffits. These materials add 8 – 15% to exterior budgets but are non-negotiable for permit approval. We specify them in your written estimate from day one, not as a change order after framing.
