A Kitchen Remodeling Contractor for Glendale Gut Remodels

A full kitchen remodel removes cabinets, counters, flooring and drywall, then rebuilds the room from the slab up. It's the right call when the layout, storage and wiring all fall short together.

Open walls are an opportunity. New circuits, a relocated sink drain or a gas line for a new range go in while everything is exposed. Each passes inspection before drywall closes it up.

The City of Glendale's building permit Q&A says new electrical circuits and outlets, drain pipes and gas pipes all need a permit. A kitchen that adds an island circuit, moves the sink or runs gas to a new range crosses that line. When yours does, we pull the permit and call for each inspection.

Keeping the Permit Active

The City also says work can't continue until a city inspector approves it, and a permit expires if work doesn't start within 180 days of issue. We submit once the drawings and cabinet order are final, so the clock and the inspections line up with the build.

Glendale accepts plans by email for electronic review, and the City says drawings for a home improvement project must be accurate, legible and complete. Our measured kitchen drawings are made to that standard from the start.

Full Kitchen Remodels Questions

How is a full remodel different from a kitchen refresh?

A refresh keeps the cabinet boxes and layout and changes surfaces. A full remodel replaces nearly everything and can move plumbing, wiring and walls. We price both when you're on the fence.

Can a kitchen remodeling company in Glendale handle all the trades?

We do. Demolition, licensed electrical and plumbing, drywall, cabinets, countertops and tile are scheduled under one contract, so you have one point of contact.

What happens if inspectors find a problem?

We correct it and call for a re-inspection. The City says work can't continue until an inspector approves it, so we build that time into the schedule.

Can we live at home during a full remodel?

Yes. Most families stay. We seal the kitchen off and help you set up a temporary kitchen in another room.
