Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Burbank’s Preferred Kitchen Remodeling Company

Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews. When you call, a live person answers, not a voicemail box and not an out-of-state call center. We’ve pulled permits and signed off inspections for kitchen work throughout Burbank, from Magnolia Park ranchers to hillside homes above Glenoaks Boulevard, and we know the city’s plan-check process well enough to submit a scope that clears on the first pass.

Our Kitchen Remodeling team works under the same written rules on every Burbank job: every scope item in writing, every allowance in writing, every change order in writing before a single nail moves. Most of our Burbank customers found us after a national company quoted one price on the phone and handed them another at the door. That doesn’t happen here. The 90-Day Done Right Promise is written on every contract, and one call brings Tom back.

We’re not a franchise dispatching strangers. Our crew members are background-checked and uniformed, and Tom’s name, address, and license number are published. Look it up before you sign anything. Ask anyone on your street, or look up the license number yourself.

Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in Burbank

Full Kitchen Remodeling

A complete kitchen remodel in Burbank means new layout, new cabinets, new countertops, new flooring, new electrical rough-in, and usually a new appliance package. For the 1940s-to-1960s ranch stock that dominates Burbank’s neighborhoods, that also means plumbing re-feeds and often panel work, because many of those homes still carry original 100-amp service that can’t support modern kitchens. We scope all of it in writing before we start, and we don’t change the price without a written change order in your hand.

Cabinets & Countertops

Cabinet installation in Burbank runs $4,000-$13,000 depending on run length and whether you’re doing stock, semi-custom, or full custom. Countertop installation runs $2,000-$6,500. We install premium brands you can look up: KraftMaid for cabinetry, Cambria quartz for countertops. When a Burbank customer wants to keep original oak face frames and reface to a Shaker profile, we do that too. It’s a practical route for post-WWII homes where the original boxes are still square and tight.

Backsplash, Tile & Flooring

Backsplash work in Burbank runs $800-$2,500 for tile, and flooring runs project-specific depending on material. In Burbank’s older ranches, we often see decades of layered vinyl over the original substrate, so we plan for subfloor correction from the start. That’s the kind of line item a generic estimate misses, and it’s the kind of thing that turns into a surprise invoice on the back end if it’s not written down on the front end.

Kitchen Design & Layout

Design and layout in Burbank is where local knowledge actually matters. The FAA Part 77 instrument approach path for Hollywood Burbank Airport imposes height restrictions as low as 35-40 feet in the southern flight corridor near the 91505 ZIP. A standard two-story addition or raised-bar kitchen island ceiling that clears fine in Glendale can get flagged in Burbank plan-check and require a height-impact study before approval. We design around that constraint from day one, not after the rejection.

Trusted Brands We Service in Burbank

We install materials you can look up, not mystery brands off a van. In Burbank kitchens, that means KraftMaid and Cambria most often, and we stock common parts locally so turnaround doesn’t stretch while a drawer glide ships from a warehouse in another state. When someone calls us about a kitchen that’s 15 years old with builder-grade boxes, we can usually quote the job with line items for exactly what we’re installing, down to the model number.

Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Burbank Homes

These are the ones that come up again and again in Burbank, and the ones generic remodel checklists skip:

• FAA height caps on raised-bar ceilings and second-story work. The 91505 corridor under the Hollywood Burbank Airport approach path has height limits as low as 35-40 feet. We’ve seen out-of-area contractors submit plans that clear in Glendale and bounce in Burbank, costing the owner weeks.
• 100-amp panels in post-WWII ranches. Homes built between the mid-1940s and early 1960s often can’t support a modern appliance rough-in. We quote the panel upgrade as a line item, not a surprise at rough-in inspection.
• HOA architectural committees in newer subdivisions. Some Burbank developments require written approval before you cut into a load-bearing wall or change an exterior elevation. Cutting first and asking later can void a builder warranty.
• Title 24 cool-roof and insulation failures. Burbank sits in a heat-trapping pocket of the eastern San Fernando Valley where summers hit 100°F-108°F. Low-R attic insulation or a non-compliant roof assembly fails final inspection, and the homeowner pays for the correction.

Pricing for Kitchen Remodeling in Burbank, CA

Small & Partial Kitchen Remodels in Burbank

Not every Burbank kitchen needs a full gut. A partial remodel, refacing the original cabinets, swapping countertops, installing a new island, or replacing a broken backsplash, runs $9,000-$20,000. We recently remodeled a 1958 ranch kitchen in the 91504 ZIP where the existing 100-amp panel couldn’t support the new appliance rough-in. Our scope of work included upgrading the panel to 200 amps and re-feeding the kitchen circuits before inspection sign-off. The homeowner kept their original oak cabinets, and we refaced them in a Shaker profile with new Cambria quartz countertops, staying within the $14,000-$45,000 kitchen remodel range and avoiding any change orders. That’s the Barrett & Sons way: put the real scope on paper, then do the job.
