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.
Do I need a permit to remodel in Burbank?
Additions, structural changes, and most electrical and plumbing work require permits through the
city. We determine what’s needed and handle it.
How long does a remodel take?
Single rooms are faster; whole-home projects run a few months. You’ll get a realistic schedule up
front.
