Transform the heart of your home with custom cabinetry, premium countertops, and expert craftsmanship from a trusted local kitchen remodeler.

Layouts and finishes tailored to your lifestyle, taste, and how you actually use your kitchen.

Premium cabinetry, stone countertops, and finishes built to last for decades, not years.

Licensed contractors (Lic. #1092628) and skilled tradespeople delivering precision on every detail.

The Heart of Your Home, Reimagined

A kitchen remodel is the most disruptive project most homeowners take on, and the one where planning matters most. Hollywood Contractor Corp is a licensed general contractor (CSLB #1092628) remodeling kitchens across Burbank, Glendale, Pasadena, La Crescenta, and the surrounding LA communities. Because we self-perform the structural work, we can take out a wall, move plumbing and gas, and upgrade the electrical behind the cabinets rather than designing around what is already there. We settle the layout and every selection before demolition starts, so the schedule holds and you are not living without a kitchen while a decision is pending. See our full home remodeling services.

Custom Cabinetry & Storage

Cabinets are the foundation of any great kitchen. We design and install custom and semi-custom cabinetry that maximizes every square inch — with the kind of soft-close, full-extension hardware that holds up to daily use.

  • Floor-to-ceiling cabinet designs
  • Soft-close drawers and doors
  • Pull-out pantries and pan organizers
  • Custom finishes: shaker, slab, two-tone
  • Built-in spice racks & appliance garages

Countertops & Backsplashes

The right countertop sets the tone for the entire kitchen. We help you choose materials that match your style and your reality — durable enough for everyday cooking, beautiful enough to be the centerpiece.

  • Quartz, granite, marble, and quartzite
  • Waterfall edges and built-in islands
  • Full-height tile and stone backsplashes
  • Undermount sink integration
  • Sealed and finished for long-term durability

Layouts, Islands & Open Concept

If your kitchen feels closed off, cramped, or stuck in another decade, a layout change can transform how the entire home flows. We handle structural changes, permits, and load-bearing walls so you can finally have the kitchen the rest of the house deserves.

  • Wall removal and open-concept design
  • Custom kitchen islands with seating
  • Improved workflow zones (prep, cook, clean)
  • Permit handling and structural engineering
  • Seamless transitions to dining and living areas

Lighting, Appliances & Finishes

Great kitchens are layered with light and outfitted with appliances that work as hard as you do. We coordinate with electricians, designers, and appliance specialists so every fixture, outlet, and finish lands exactly where it should.

  • Recessed, pendant, and under-cabinet lighting
  • Smart appliance integration
  • Designer plumbing fixtures and faucets
  • Hardwood, tile, and luxury vinyl flooring
  • Paint, trim, and final finish work

How Much Does a Kitchen Remodel Cost?

Kitchen remodels in Los Angeles typically run $35,000 to $120,000+. Cabinetry and whether the layout moves are the two biggest levers.

Scope of work Typical LA range What it covers
Cosmetic refresh $18,000 – $35,000 Cabinet refacing or painting, new counters, fixtures, and appliances. Layout unchanged.
Mid-range full remodel $40,000 – $75,000 New semi-custom cabinetry, quartz counters, flooring, lighting, and appliances.
High-end remodel $80,000 – $150,000+ Custom cabinetry, stone counters, premium appliances, designer fixtures.
Layout change / wall removal +$8,000 – $25,000 Structural work, beam installation, and relocating plumbing, gas, and electrical.
Electrical / plumbing upgrade +$5,000 – $15,000 Panel capacity, new circuits, and repiping while the walls are open.

Cabinetry is usually 30–40% of a kitchen budget, so it is the first place to adjust if the number comes back high. Moving the sink or range is what turns a moderate remodel into an expensive one — plumbing and gas relocation is where the cost sits.

Refresh, Remodel, or Reconfigure?

Three very different projects get called “a kitchen remodel”. Knowing which one you actually want makes budgeting far more honest.

A refresh may be enough

  • The layout genuinely works for how you cook
  • Cabinet boxes are solid, just dated
  • You are preparing to sell within 2–3 years
  • Budget is the binding constraint
  • Appliances are the main frustration

Go for a full remodel

  • The layout fights you daily
  • Cabinets are failing, not just dated
  • Electrical or plumbing needs upgrading anyway
  • You want to open the kitchen to living space
  • You intend to stay 10+ years

If several rooms need work, see whole-home remodeling — doing it once costs less than twice.

Where the Budget Goes

A realistic split of a mid-range Los Angeles kitchen remodel, so you can see which decisions actually move the number.

Option Best for Expected life Relative cost
Cabinetry The single largest line item 20+ years 30–40%
Countertops Quartz, granite, or stone 20+ years 10–15%
Appliances Highly variable by brand 10–15 years 10–20%
Labour & installation Demolition through finish 20–30%
Electrical / plumbing More if the layout moves 30+ years 10–15%
Flooring & finishes Tile, LVP, paint, lighting 15–25 years 8–12%

Every selection should be made before demolition starts. A kitchen sitting idle because a cabinet decision is outstanding is the most common cause of an overrunning schedule.

What to Expect During the Project

A full kitchen remodel usually takes 6 to 12 weeks on site, plus 4 to 8 weeks beforehand for design, selections, and cabinet lead time.

Stage Typical timing What happens
Design & selections 2–6 weeks Layout finalised and every finish chosen. Nothing is ordered until this is settled.
Cabinet lead time 4–10 weeks Runs in parallel with design. Custom cabinetry is usually the critical path.
Demolition 2–4 days Old kitchen removed. Set up a temporary kitchen before this starts.
Rough-in 1–2 weeks Electrical, plumbing, gas, and any structural work, followed by inspection.
Cabinets & counters 2–3 weeks Cabinets set, then counters templated and fabricated (about 1–2 weeks).
Finish & punch list 1–2 weeks Backsplash, appliances, fixtures, paint, and final details.

You will be without a kitchen for most of this. We help set up a temporary one before demolition — the households that plan for it cope far better than those that do not.

How to Choose a Contractor

Kitchen remodeling work is largely invisible once it is finished, which is exactly why standards vary so widely. A few things reliably separate a proper job from an expensive patch.

Good signs

  • An active CSLB licence you can verify online
  • A written, itemised, fixed-price scope
  • They explain the cause, not just the fix
  • Realistic timelines rather than optimistic ones
  • A workmanship warranty in writing
  • Selections finalised before demolition begins
  • They handle permits for structural or layout changes

Warning signs

  • A quote given without a proper site visit
  • Pressure to sign today for a discount
  • Large cash deposits up front
  • The same solution proposed for every home
  • Vague allowances instead of fixed pricing
  • A start date offered before the design is settled

Hollywood Contractor Corp holds CSLB licence #1092628 — verify it, and any contractor you are considering, with the California State License Board.


Kitchen Remodeling FAQs

How much does a kitchen remodel cost?

A kitchen remodel typically ranges from about $25,000 for a mid-range refresh to $75,000+ for a high-end or full-gut renovation, depending on size, cabinetry, countertops, and whether you change the layout. We provide a clear, fixed-bid estimate before any work starts.

How long does a kitchen remodel take?

Most kitchen remodels take about 6 to 12 weeks of construction once design and permits are complete. A cosmetic refresh can be faster, while a full layout change with structural work takes longer. We give you a detailed schedule up front.

Do I need a permit to remodel my kitchen?

Cosmetic updates such as new cabinets, counters, and finishes usually do not require a permit, but moving plumbing, gas, electrical, or walls does. We handle all required permits and inspections for you.

Can you remove a wall to open up my kitchen?

Yes. We open up closed-off kitchens by removing walls — including load-bearing walls — with proper structural engineering and permits, then finish the space so the transition looks seamless.

Will I be able to use my kitchen during the remodel?

Most of the kitchen is out of service during construction, so we help you set up a temporary kitchenette and sequence the work to keep disruption to a minimum.

What is the most expensive part of a kitchen remodel?

Cabinetry is usually the single biggest line item, followed by countertops and appliances. Layout changes that relocate plumbing or electrical also add cost. We help you prioritize where to invest for the biggest impact.

Do you provide design and 3D renderings?

Yes. Our design-build process includes layouts, material selections, and 3D renderings so you can see your new kitchen before construction begins.

Does a kitchen remodel add value to my home?

Kitchens are one of the highest-ROI remodels. Functional layouts, quality cabinetry, durable stone countertops, and updated lighting and appliances deliver strong returns at resale.

Do you offer a warranty?

Yes. Every remodel comes with a workmanship warranty, and we pass along manufacturer warranties on cabinetry, appliances, and fixtures.

How do I get started?

Start with a free in-home consultation. We walk your space, discuss your goals and budget, and provide a written, fixed-bid estimate before any work begins.
