AfterConstruction in North Hollywood, CA
Kitchen remodeling in North Hollywood typically runs $14,000-$45,000 for a full job, while a smaller kitchen can land between $9,000 and $20,000. Those numbers shift with the age of the house because this pocket of the San Fernando Valley is packed with 1940s-1960s stucco bungalows and 1960s-1970s wood-frame apartment buildings that hide undersized electrical panels, single-pane windows, and earthquake micro-cracking behind the walls. Rowan Construction Group writes a flat price with a written scope before any tool comes off the truck, and you can reach us at (470) 298-9650 to get yours.
Why North Hollywood Homes Are Different
North Hollywood sits a few miles from the epicenter of the 1994 Northridge earthquake, and the building stock still carries that history. Along the Lankershim and Vineland corridors especially, we walk into tuck-under parking buildings where post-quake repairs were rushed through under emergency permits in ’94 and now need to be brought to current LABC standards before a remodel or addition can even be permitted. That compliance archaeology is specific to this Valley pocket, and it changes the scope of work before we get to cabinets or tile.
The other thing that defines construction here is heat. North Hollywood regularly hits 100-108°F in summer, well above coastal LA. That accelerates flat-roof membrane deterioration on low-slope apartment roofs and forces us to schedule concrete pours and exterior coating work in early-morning windows so the heat doesn’t compromise the cure. Older stucco bungalows from the post-WWII era also show their age through original single-pane windows, undersized panels, and hairline cracks that a smart remodel has to address, not cover over. Add in the dense concentration of 1960s-70s soft-story wood-frame apartments still mid-compliance under LA’s mandatory retrofit ordinance, and seismic retrofitting, shear wall installation, and foundation bolting are as routine here as any standard remodel. That reality does not define construction in Burbank or Sherman Oaks the same way.
Our Main North Hollywood Services
Two jobs North Hollywood homeowners call about most are fence installation and driveway and paver work, so those have their own dedicated pages with full local pricing and detail.
Fence Installation in North Hollywood
North Hollywood’s mix of post-war bungalows on tight lots and multifamily properties means fence lines often sit close to stucco walls, shared easements, and older gas and water laterals. We flag property-line and permit questions before quoting so the written price reflects what the job actually needs. Fence Installation in North Hollywood covers vinyl, aluminum, and wood options with the same flat written pricing we apply to every trade.
Driveway & Pavers in North Hollywood
Summer heat and older concrete make driveway repair a recurring North Hollywood request, especially where 1960s slabs have shifted from decades of thermal expansion. We tear out failed concrete, address the base, and install pavers or new concrete with proper slope away from the foundation. Driveway & Pavers in North Hollywood lays out the local price ranges, including paver patios and driveway replacement.

BeforeAfterKitchen Remodeling in North Hollywood
Kitchen remodeling in North Hollywood means working inside homes built before current electrical code, where a 100-amp panel and original wiring can’t safely carry a modern appliance load. Our written scope accounts for panel upgrades, seismic anchorage, and heat-hardened material choices before we get to cabinet layout. See Kitchen Remodeling for the nationwide service hub details; the local specifics are below.
Full Kitchen Remodeling
Signs you need it
You’re living with a galley kitchen that can’t support two cooks, or the cabinets are pulling away from walls that have shifted since 1994.
What it costs in North Hollywood
A full kitchen remodel in North Hollywood runs $14,000-$45,000 depending on cabinet grade, countertop material, and whether the panel needs an upgrade.
How we do it
We open the walls, verify framing and seismic anchorage, run a written change order for anything the inspection turns up, then install cabinets, counters, flooring, and fixtures to the signed plan.
Cabinets & Countertops
Signs you need it
Cabinet faces are delaminating from Valley heat, drawers stick, or the countertop has burn marks and cracks around the sink.
What it costs in North Hollywood
Cabinet installation runs $4,000-$13,000 and countertop installation $2,000-$6,500 in North Hollywood, with the spread set by material and linear footage.
How we do it
We measure and template on site, order from vetted brands like KraftMaid and Cambria, and install with shims and leveling that tolerate this city’s older, out-of-square walls.
Backsplash, Tile & Flooring
Signs you need it
Grout lines are cracked from wall drift, or the floor tile has lifted at the edges from years of heat cycling.
What it costs in North Hollywood
Backsplash installation costs $800-$2,500 in North Hollywood; tile and flooring work is quoted per square foot in the written scope.
How we do it
We prep the surface, use crack-isolation membrane where the substrate has moved, and set tile with a leveling system so the finished plane reads flat.
What Kitchen Remodeling Costs in North Hollywood
| Item | Typical range in North Hollywood |
|---|---|
| Full kitchen remodel | $14,000-$45,000 |
| Small kitchen remodel | $9,000-$20,000 |
| Countertop installation | $2,000-$6,500 |
Will a North Hollywood kitchen remodel require a seismic retrofit?
Sometimes, yes. If the home has tuck-under parking or a soft-story configuration, the city may require shear wall or foundation bolting before permitting the remodel. We flag it during the walkthrough so the written scope includes it.
How long does a North Hollywood kitchen remodel take?
Most full kitchen remodels here run four to eight weeks, with permit review and any panel upgrade adding time. The signed change-order system keeps that timeline from drifting without your sign-off. Call (470) 298-9650 for an exact schedule.
Bathroom Remodeling in North Hollywood
Bathroom remodeling in North Hollywood usually means replacing original 1950s and 60s fixtures inside houses where the walls have moved over decades of earthquake settlement and summer heat. We regularly find cracked tile membranes and corroded galvanized supply lines that other quotes don’t mention until demolition starts. The Bathroom Remodeling hub has the trade-wide detail; here’s how the work lands in this city.
Full Bathroom Remodeling
Signs you need it
Subfloor deflection around the toilet, a tile floor with hairline cracks, or a bathroom layout that can’t handle two people in the morning.
What it costs in North Hollywood
A full bathroom remodel runs $9,000-$28,000 in North Hollywood, with the spread driven by shower glass, fixture grade, and whether plumbing has to move.
How we do it
We demo to the studs, replace the shower valve and drain, install new substrate with waterproof membrane, then set tile, vanity, and fixtures to the written plan.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Signs you need it
The curb is leaking, the pan feels soft, or you want a curbless entry that works as mobility needs change.
What it costs in North Hollywood
A walk-in shower installation runs $4,500-$12,000 in North Hollywood, while a shower replacement lands at $3,000-$8,500.
How we do it
We remove the old pan and tile, install a bonded waterproof membrane, and rebuild the shower with a pitched pan and sealed wall board before tile goes down.
What Bathroom Remodeling Costs in North Hollywood
| Item | Typical range in North Hollywood |
|---|---|
| Full bathroom remodel | $9,000-$28,000 |
| Small bathroom remodel | $5,000-$12,000 |
| Tub-to-shower conversion | $3,500-$10,000 |
Does a North Hollywood bathroom remodel need a permit?
Any work that moves plumbing or opens walls past cosmetic finish usually needs a permit from LA’s building department. We pull permits for you and the inspection record becomes part of your project file. Call (470) 298-9650 to confirm your scope.
Will water damage be found once the tile comes off?
Plausibly, in older North Hollywood homes with original plumbing. Our written price includes the scope you approved, and any hidden damage triggers a signed change order before we proceed, so you see the number before we touch it.
Roofing in North Hollywood
Roofing in North Hollywood is a heat problem first and a water problem second. Summer temperatures above 100°F bake low-slope apartment membranes and older shingle roofs until they crack, dry out, and lose their granule layer years before coastal roofs do. A Roofing replacement here has to be specced for UV and heat, not just rain. Here’s how we handle that in this Valley market.
Roof Replacement & Installation
Signs you need it
Granule loss in the gutters, curling shingles, or visible membrane cracking on a flat or low-slope section.
What it costs in North Hollywood
A roof replacement in North Hollywood runs $8,000-$20,000 depending on slope, tear-off layers, and material choice.
How we do it
We tear off to the deck, replace damaged sheathing, install new underlayment and flashing, and lay the roof with a brand like GAF or Owens Corning to the manufacturer’s spec.
Roof Repair
Signs you need it
A water stain on the ceiling, a missing shingle after Santa Ana winds, or cracking around vent flashings.
What it costs in North Hollywood
Roof repair in North Hollywood runs $400-$1,800, with the number set by how many penetrations and how much decking is involved.
How we do it
We isolate the leak, document it with photos, seal or replace the failed material, and give you a written repair record with the same warranty language as a full replacement.
What Roofing Costs in North Hollywood
| Item | Typical range in North Hollywood |
|---|---|
| Roof replacement | $8,000-$20,000 |
| Roof repair | $400-$1,800 |
| Tile roof repair | $600-$2,500 |
Are flat roofs common in North Hollywood?
Yes, especially on the 1960s-70s apartment corridors along Lankershim and Vineland. Low-slope membrane roofs age faster in this heat, so we inspect seams and flashings before quoting. Call (470) 298-9650 for a written roof assessment.
Does heat affect when roofing work can happen here?
It does. Adhesive and membrane products need specific temperature windows, so we schedule North Hollywood roof work in early mornings during summer months. The signed schedule we give you reflects those constraints.
Windows & Doors in North Hollywood
Windows and doors in North Hollywood are typically original single-pane units in 1940s-60s homes, which means heat gain in summer, rattling frames, and poor noise isolation along busier streets. The right replacement cuts cooling loads and hardens the house against the next earthquake’s racking. See Windows & Doors for the trade hub; the local scope is what matters here.
Window Replacement
Signs you need it
Drafts you can feel in August, fogged double panes, or wood sashes that have warped and won’t lock.
What it costs in North Hollywood
Window replacement in North Hollywood runs $4,500-$15,000 for a typical house, with the count and frame material setting the spread.
How we do it
We measure each opening, pull the old unit, correct any out-of-square framing, and install the new window with flashing and insulation to stop air movement.
Impact Windows & Doors
Signs you need it
You want laminated glass that holds its shape during a quake or a door that no longer seals against Valley heat and dust.
What it costs in North Hollywood
Impact window installation runs $8,000-$25,000 in North Hollywood, with door packages quoted separately in the written scope.
How we do it
We order rated laminated units, reinforce the rough opening, and set the frame with anchors that meet current code for seismic and wind loads.
What Windows & Doors Costs in North Hollywood
| Item | Typical range in North Hollywood |
|---|---|
| Window replacement | $4,500-$15,000 |
| Impact window installation | $8,000-$25,000 |
| Door installation | Quoted per opening |
Do North Hollywood homes need impact-rated windows?
It depends on the structure and the retrofit status. Older soft-story buildings and homes near the 1994 epicenter often benefit from laminated glass and stronger anchors. We’ll tell you honestly whether the cost buys you meaningful protection. Call (470) 298-9650.
How much will new windows cut cooling costs here?
For 1940s-60s single-pane homes, the change is measurable: less solar gain through the glass and tighter seals cut air leakage. We can’t promise a utility number, but we can show the window’s performance ratings before you sign.
Home Additions & ADU in North Hollywood
Home additions and ADUs in North Hollywood frequently start with a compliance question, not a floor plan: the property may sit in a soft-story building or carry post-’94 repairs that don’t meet current LABC standards, so the permit path has to be mapped before square footage is added. That’s the discipline this city demands. The Home Additions & ADU hub covers the trade; here’s how the work lands in North Hollywood.
Garage Conversion ADU
Signs you need it
You have a tuck-under or detached garage that’s now storage, and the foundation needs bolting before it can be converted.
What it costs in North Hollywood
A garage conversion ADU in North Hollywood runs $30,000-$80,000, with the seismic and utility work driving the high end.
How we do it
We assess the existing slab and framing, bolt and shear-wall per current code, then build out the unit with separate metering and a permitted kitchen and bath.
ADU Design & Permitting
Signs you need it
You want an ADU but the existing house has unpermitted post-quake work, or the lot has setback and parking constraints that need a variance.
What it costs in North Hollywood
ADU construction in North Hollywood runs $90,000-$220,000, with design and permitting quoted as a line item so you see the cost before committing.
How we do it
We coordinate plans, structural review, and the permit package, then build to the approved drawings and issue a written change order for any condition the inspection uncovers.
What Home Additions & ADU Costs in North Hollywood
| Item | Typical range in North Hollywood |
|---|---|
| Home addition | $45,000-$130,000 |
| ADU construction | $90,000-$220,000 |
| Garage conversion | $30,000-$80,000 |
Will a North Hollywood ADU require seismic work first?
If the existing structure has tuck-under parking or unretrofitted soft-story framing, the city often requires bolting and shear walls before an ADU permit issues. We include that assessment in the written scope. Call (470) 298-9650.
Can I add an ADU to a 1940s bungalow in North Hollywood?
Usually yes, under California ADU law, but the existing foundation and panel capacity will shape the design. A detached unit often pencils out cleaner than a conversion when the house needs significant retrofitting.
