Kitchen and Bath Remodelers
Home remodeling Glendale homeowners can actually trust starts with a walkthrough, not a sales pitch. Level Up Contractor is a licensed general contractor handling kitchens, bathrooms, ADUs, room additions and full-home renovations across Glendale and the Verdugo foothills. We do the design, the permits, and the build ourselves, so you are not managing three companies who each blame the other one.
Glendale is its own city with its own building department, and that changes how a remodel runs here. Your plans do not go to LADBS or LA County. They go to the City of Glendale Development Services Division, through the Glendale Permits portal, under Glendale’s own amended building code. Electrical service upgrades go through Glendale Water & Power, not LADWP or Edison. If your contractor does not already know that, you find out the slow way.
Some clients come to us for one room. Others gut the house down to the studs. Either way the process is the same: one team, one schedule, one person to call when you have a question. Get a home remodeling estimate before you commit to anything. It is free, and nothing is attached to it.


Why Glendale Homeowners Choose Us
Most of our new projects come from referrals, which is the only review metric that really counts. Here is what those clients tell us mattered.
We are a licensed California general contractor, fully insured, and we build to the Glendale Building & Safety Code, not just the state minimum. You can verify any contractor's license yourself at cslb.ca.gov before you sign anything, and you should.
Architectural drawings, engineering coordination, permit submittal and construction all sit with the same team. One contract, one schedule, one point of contact. Nobody hands you off.
This is where out-of-town contractors lose weeks. Glendale runs its own Development Services Division, its own online permit portal, its own zoning counter by appointment, and its own utility. We file here regularly and we plan the schedule around real Glendale review times, not optimistic ones.
Every estimate is broken out line by line: labor, materials, allowances, permit fees. No vague "finishes" bucket that quietly turns into a change order in month three.
A 1920s Spanish Colonial in Rossmoyne, a hillside mid-century in Chevy Chase Canyon and a post-war ranch in Verdugo Woodlands are three completely different builds. Older lath-and-plaster walls, knob-and-tube remnants, unreinforced chimneys and slab-on-grade foundations all get handled differently. We plan for what is actually behind the wall.

Our Home Remodeling Services in Burbank

Kitchen Remodeling Burbank
Cabinets, islands, layout changes, plumbing and gas relocations, electrical, finish carpentry. A kitchen remodel in Burbank is rarely just cosmetic once you open the walls.The most common ask we get here: take down the wall between the kitchen and the living room. Sometimes that's a two-day job. Sometimes it's a beam, a post, and an engineer's stamp. We find out which one it is before you've picked a countertop, because the answer changes the budget.Older homes near Magnolia Park often come with 60-amp service and cloth-wrapped wiring behind the plaster. As a kitchen remodeler in Burbank, we plan for the panel upgrade upfront instead of pretending it won't come up.

Bathroom Remodeling Burbank
Three complaints cover almost every bathroom remodel in Burbank, CA: no storage, bad lighting, tile from another era.We handle all of it: vanity and fixture swaps on the light end, full gut-to-studs work on the heavy end. Walk-in showers, freestanding tubs, heated floors, and ventilation that actually moves air so you're not fighting mildew in two years.

Backyard Remodeling Burbank
Burbank summers make the backyard either the best room in the house or an unusable slab. Shade decides which.Backyard remodeling in Burbank covers patio covers, pergolas, outdoor kitchens, decking, hardscape, and planting that survives July. We design around sun angle and how you'll actually use the space: dinners, kids, dogs, a place to sit that isn't 105 degrees at 5pm.

Room Addition Burbank, CA
When you like the neighborhood and the schools but the house is 400 square feet short, a room addition beats moving on cost almost every time.We build primary suites, home offices, extra bedrooms, and expanded living rooms. The measure of a good home addition in Burbank is that nobody can tell where the original house ends: matched roofline, matched stucco or siding, matched window proportions.Setbacks, lot coverage, and height limits get checked before design goes far. On hillside lots and in the Rancho district there are extra layers, and it's cheaper to know that in week one than in month three.

General Remodeling Burbank
Not everything needs to be a full renovation. Flooring. Electrical panel upgrades. Repiping. Window replacement. Interior doors, trim, paint, a stubborn plumbing issue. As a general remodeling contractor in Burbank, we'll bundle a list of smaller jobs into one scheduled visit instead of stretching them across six months and five different tradespeople.

ADU Contractor Burbank & Garage Conversion
ADUs are the most requested project on our board right now, and in Burbank the conversation usually starts with a detached garage sitting at the back of the lot.We build detached ADUs, convert existing garages into livable units, and do above-garage additions. The reasons vary: rental income, a parent moving closer, an adult kid who needs a door of their own.A garage conversion in Burbank only works if it's built like a home, not a finished garage: insulated properly, its own electrical, real heating and cooling, plumbing routed on purpose, and a floor that doesn't telegraph what the room used to be.Burbank handles its own ADU review and has its own submittal process and timeline. We manage it from application through final inspection.
Our Remodeling Process
Walkthrough and estimate:
We come out, look at the space, listen to what you are actually trying to fix, and put together a real itemized number. Not a placeholder, and not a range that doubles later.
Design and permitting:
Our team draws the plans, brings in structural engineering where the scope needs it, and files through the Glendale Permits portal. Glendale's published plan check timeline runs about 8–10 weeks for standard review once fees are paid, and the zoning counter is by appointment.
Construction:
Crews start, and you get regular updates rather than silence until something goes wrong. If your project involves a new or upgraded electrical service, we coordinate the meter spot with Glendale Water & Power's electrical engineering group, because in Glendale that is a separate step from your building permit.
Final walkthrough:
We go through the finished space with you, build the punch list together, and close it out before we call the job done. We are still reachable after that.

We built a 1,200 sq/ft ADU with Energy Star Remodeling and couldn’t be happier. Their pricing was hard to beat after talking to several contractors, and Udi stood out right away as someone we could trust. The whole process was smooth, and...

Home Remodeling Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Planning a kitchen remodel, bathroom renovation, ADU, backyard project, room addition, or whole-home update raises a lot of practical questions. Here are honest answers to the ones Glendale homeowners ask most.
What does a remodel cost in Glendale?
It depends entirely on scope. A bathroom update and a whole home remodel aren’t in the same universe, cost-wise. We’ll give you a real, itemized home remodeling estimate after seeing the space in person, not a number pulled out of thin air.
Are you a licensed remodeling contractor?
Yes, fully licensed and insured for remodeling work across Glendale and the greater Los Angeles area.
Do you handle permits for room additions and ADUs?
Yes. As a design build remodeling contractor, we manage plans, engineering coordination, and permit submission for room additions, ADUs, and garage conversions in-house, including filings with the City of Glendale.
How long does a typical home remodel take?
A kitchen or bathroom remodel usually runs 4 – 8 weeks once permits clear. Bigger projects room additions, ADUs, whole home remodels can stretch into several months, mostly depending on how long permitting takes.
Do you only do full home remodels, or smaller projects too?
No. We do plenty of smaller general remodeling work alongside full renovations, kitchen and bathroom remodels, room additions, and ADU builds. If it’s worth fixing, we’ll take a look at it.
