A Burbank remodel doesn’t have to come with unexpected costs — the surprises that blow up a
budget usually trace back to vague estimates and poor planning, not the work itself. Katz Design &
Builders is a licensed design-build firm (California CSLB #1089060) that remodels homes across Burbank
with detailed, itemized, fixed pricing, so you know the number before we start.

Avoiding unexpected costs in Burbank — FAQ

Why do remodels go over budget?

Usually because of vague estimates, poor planning, and unknowns discovered mid-project. A detailed
upfront assessment and a fixed, itemized price — how we work — prevent most of it.
