What does a remodel cost in Glendale?

Across Los Angeles, a kitchen remodel typically runs $30,000 to $100,000 and a bathroom $15,000 to $50,000, while additions run $250 to $500 per square foot and detached ADUs $150,000 to $350,000. We quote a fixed, itemised price once the design is complete.

Superior Home Builders is a licensed general contractor specializing in custom homes, remodels, and additions throughout Glendale. For over 20 years, our design-build team has helped homeowners, from the tree-lined streets of Rossmoyne and Chevy Chase Canyon to the hillside homes of Verdugo Woodlands, update character properties into modern, high-value residences.

As an independent city with a strong stock of 1920s Spanish and Tudor Revival homes alongside mid-century hillside construction, Glendale enforces its own design review standards, particularly in its historic districts. We combine skilled craftsmanship with local permitting expertise to deliver refined, functional spaces on time and on budget.

Glendale Home Building & Remodeling Services

From Adams Hill and Montecito Park to the canyon streets above Chevy Chase, Superior Home Builders delivers full-service residential construction across Glendale. Our in-house design-build team unites architecture, engineering, and construction under one roof for a single, accountable point of contact.

Custom Home Construction

We build ground-up custom homes and teardown-rebuilds engineered for Glendale’s flatland lots and its steeper hillside parcels alike. Whether the goal is a restored Spanish Colonial in a historic district or a contemporary hillside build, we tailor every project to the lot, the neighbourhood, and the long-term value of the home.

Kitchen & Bathroom Remodeling

We remodel kitchens and bathrooms with custom cabinetry, premium stone countertops, and smart layouts that work with Glendale’s older floor plans, updating dated fixtures into bright, functional spaces without losing the character these homes are known for.

Home & Room Additions

When a family outgrows its space, we design additions and second-story expansions that respect a home’s original architecture while adding the square footage it needs, all within Glendale’s zoning and hillside development standards.

ADU Construction & Garage Conversions in Glendale

An accessory dwelling unit is one of the most practical ways to add rental income or multigenerational living space to a Glendale property. We build detached ADUs, attached units, and garage conversions engineered to current standards, whether the lot sits on a flat street or a graded hillside parcel.

Our team manages the entire process with the City of Glendale, engineering each unit for hillside stability where required and Title 24 energy compliance while honoring setbacks, height limits, and FAR rules. Glendale applies added design review in its historic districts, so local experience matters for keeping a project on schedule.

Every unit is finished to the same standard as our custom homes, with design continuity that makes it feel like a natural part of the property rather than an afterthought.

Navigating Glendale Permits & Building Codes

Glendale is an independent city with its own Community Development Department, so projects here answer to City of Glendale standards rather than LADBS. The city enforces strict design review in its historic districts and additional hillside development regulations for homes in the canyons, both of which routinely catch out-of-area contractors off guard.

We manage the full permit lifecycle with the city and build to full compliance with California’s HCD framework and Title 24 energy standards. If you are planning an ADU specifically, our San Fernando Valley ADU rules guide covers Glendale’s local requirements in more detail.
