Questions about your project?
(818) 381-4996After 10+ years working exclusively in Burbank, we've heard just about every question. Here are the ones we get most often from local homeowners considering remodeling projects.
It depends on the project scope. Simple interior remodels might get over-the-counter permits in a week or two. Room additions and ADUs usually take 4-8 weeks for plan check and approval. We've found that complete, accurate applications with all required documents move fastest through Burbank's system. Our experience helps us anticipate what the Planning Department will need.
Pro Tip: Start planning 2-3 months before you want to begin construction to account for design and permitting time.
Yes, frequently. Many Burbank homes built before 1978 contain lead paint, and those built before 1980 may have asbestos materials. We're EPA-certified for lead-safe practices and follow all California regulations for hazardous material testing and remediation. We always test when appropriate and work with licensed abatement contractors when needed.
Important: Proper handling of these materials is crucial for both safety and compliance. Never let a contractor tell you it's "not a problem" without proper testing.
A room addition becomes part of your primary residence, while an ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) is a separate, complete living unit with its own kitchen, bathroom, and entrance. Burbank has specific rules for both: ADUs have maximum size limits (usually 1,200 sq ft), setback requirements, and parking considerations. Room additions follow your home's existing zoning but must meet California energy codes.
Current Regulation: As of 2024, Burbank allows ADUs up to 850 sq ft without discretionary review if they meet certain criteria. We stay current on these changing regulations.
Hillside properties in areas like the Rancho or near Wildwood Canyon require special attention. We always assess drainage patterns and may recommend French drains, proper grading, or retaining walls. For foundations, we work with structural engineers when needed. Many older hillside homes need seismic retrofitting, which we can integrate into remodeling projects.
Local Experience: We know which soils are expansive in which Burbank neighborhoods and how to properly prepare sites for additions.
Absolutely. We regularly work on Spanish Revival, Tudor, Craftsman, and Mid-Century Modern homes throughout Burbank. We source appropriate materials and replicate details like moldings, windows, and exterior finishes. For designated historic properties, we navigate the additional review processes while maintaining architectural integrity.
Resources: We have relationships with specialty mills and suppliers who can recreate period-appropriate details that big-box stores don't carry.
For a typical Burbank kitchen (150-250 sq ft), complete remodels range from $35,000 to $75,000 depending on scope, materials, and whether plumbing/electrical need relocation. Higher-end projects with custom cabinetry, premium appliances, and structural changes can reach $100,000+. We provide detailed estimates after understanding your specific goals.
Budgeting Tip: Always include a 10-15% contingency for unexpected conditions common in older Burbank homes (like outdated wiring or plumbing issues discovered during demolition).
