(747) 350-1456 is answered around the clock, whether you're ready to start gutting a dated Magnolia Park kitchen tonight or you just want a straight answer before committing to anything. Burbank Kitchen Remodel And Bath Co operates out of 1006 Magnolia Blvd, Burbank, CA 91506, and Tal and Jacob personally run every design-build project across Burbank, Toluca Lake, North Hollywood, Glendale and the surrounding San Fernando Valley. Here's what the call actually looks like, what the free consultation covers, and exactly where coverage ends.
What the First Call Sounds Like
A real person answers — Tal, Jacob, or a member of their team — not a phone tree engineered to route you toward a voicemail. The first few minutes cover the basics: what you're thinking about remodeling, roughly which of Burbank, Toluca Lake, North Hollywood or Glendale the property sits in, and how much of a timeline you're working with. From that conversation, a free in-home consultation gets scheduled — someone walks the space, takes measurements, and gives you an honest read on anything the home's age or location might affect. No number gets thrown out on the phone; that only happens after the consultation.
Before You Dial, a Few Things Help
You don't need drawings or a spec sheet ready — a rough idea genuinely is enough — but a couple of things make the call more useful. Your address is the most important one, since it determines which building department the project answers to: Burbank, North Hollywood and Glendale each run through a different office, and a Toluca Lake address could land on either side depending on exactly where it sits. Beyond that, having a sense of which rooms are involved, whether an ADU or an addition is part of the plan, and any deadline pressure you're under all help shape a more productive first conversation.
The Order Things Happen In
Every project moves through the same four stages, and the order matters. It starts with the consultation — no cost, no obligation to move forward. Next comes a 3D design, so you can actually see the finished kitchen, bath or addition before agreeing to anything. Then a written estimate, locking in a fixed scope and price on paper before any demolition starts. Finally, the build itself, with Tal or Jacob personally pulling permits and managing inspections. Because the same two owners handle design and construction, whoever priced your project is the one standing behind it when a wall opens up and reveals something unexpected — which happens more often than you'd think in Burbank's older ranch and bungalow homes.
Whichever Building Department Applies, We Handle It
You will not be handed a permit application to file yourself. A Burbank address routes through the City of Burbank Community Development Department's Building Division; a North Hollywood address goes through LADBS; a Glendale address goes through the City of Glendale's own building and safety office; Toluca Lake could be either, depending on the parcel. Significant remodels and additions also have to satisfy Title 24 energy requirements and CALGreen, and given how hot and dry this stretch of the Valley runs in summer, insulation and glazing upgrades come up on a lot of jobs. All of it gets confirmed against your specific address at the consultation.
Where Coverage Actually Runs
- Burbank (91501–91506) — Magnolia Park, the Media District, Downtown Burbank, and the Rancho, all inside the city's own Building Division
- Toluca Lake (91602) — older estate homes, jurisdiction verified parcel by parcel between Burbank and Los Angeles
- North Hollywood (91601, 91605–91607) — bungalows, apartments and heavy ADU activity around the NoHo Arts District, permitted through LADBS
- Glendale (91201–91208) — Craftsman, Spanish and hillside homes across the Verdugo and San Rafael foothills, its own independent building department
Studio City and Sun Valley fall within reach beyond that core coverage area. If your address is just outside it, call and ask — coverage gets confirmed before anything's booked.
Why Nothing Gets Quoted Verbally
A remodel is too large a project to price off a guess standing in a kitchen. On homes like the ones common here — a post-war ranch, a Magnolia Park bungalow, a larger property near the Rancho — the honest scope only becomes clear once measurements are taken and a design is actually worked out, which is why Tal and Jacob wait until that point to put a number in writing rather than estimating on the spot. You're free to accept or decline that written figure with zero obligation, and once you sign off, that's the scope that gets built and billed — nothing quietly tacked on later.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who picks up when I call (747) 350-1456?
Tal, Jacob, or someone from their team, at any hour of the day or night — there is no automated menu routing evening calls to voicemail. The conversation is short: what room or project you're thinking about, whether the home sits in Burbank, Toluca Lake, North Hollywood or Glendale, and a rough sense of scope and timing. From there a free in-home consultation gets scheduled around your calendar rather than dropped into a generic booking slot.
Does my exact address actually matter before I even call?
It matters more than almost anything else, because it determines which building department your permit runs through. A Burbank parcel goes to the City of Burbank's own Building Division; step onto the Los Angeles side of the Toluca Lake line and it's a different department entirely. Having the address ready — along with a rough idea of which rooms you're picturing and any timeline pressure — speeds up the first call, though none of it is required before Tal or Jacob will talk through your project.
What actually happens during the free consultation?
One of the owners — Tal or Jacob — comes to the home, walks the space, takes measurements and photos, and listens to what you want the finished rooms to do. Along the way they'll flag anything specific to the property that could affect the project: a load-bearing wall in the way of an open floor plan, a Title 24 energy requirement triggered by the scope, a setback question on an ADU. Nothing gets priced on the spot; the next steps are a 3D design and then a written estimate, so you're reacting to something concrete rather than a number pulled out of thin air.
From that first call, how long until I have a real number?
It varies with the size of the job, but the sequence never skips a step — consultation first, then design, then a written estimate, never a verbal figure handed over on day one. A bathroom remodel typically moves through that faster than a whole-home renovation or a ground-up ADU, both of which need more design time to price honestly. Tal and Jacob would rather take that extra time upfront than hand you a number that quietly balloons once demolition starts, and they'll give you a realistic sense of the timeline at the consultation itself.
What's the actual service area?
The shop is at 1006 Magnolia Blvd in Burbank's Magnolia Park area, and the core coverage is Burbank, Toluca Lake, North Hollywood and Glendale, with Studio City and Sun Valley reachable as well. Each of those carries a different permitting path — Burbank through its own Building Division, North Hollywood through LADBS, Glendale through its own separate department, and Toluca Lake through whichever of Burbank or Los Angeles the specific parcel falls under. If you're just outside that footprint, call anyway; coverage gets confirmed on the spot.
Am I responsible for pulling any of the permits myself?
No — that's on Tal and Jacob, start to finish, as part of the design-build service you're paying for. Depending on the address, that means dealing with the City of Burbank's Building Division, LADBS, or Glendale's own building and safety office, plus meeting Title 24 energy code and CALGreen requirements on any significant remodel or addition. All of that gets sorted out against your specific parcel before design work even starts, so it never becomes a mid-project surprise.
I think I want an ADU, but I don't know if my lot can handle one. Can you tell me?
That's exactly the kind of question the free consultation is built to answer. California's 2016 ADU laws opened up a lot of lots that used to be off-limits, but setbacks, lot coverage, access, and utility connections still vary by property and by which building department has jurisdiction. Tal or Jacob will walk your specific lot and give you a straight answer on what size and type of unit is realistic — and if the lot genuinely won't support one comfortably, you'll hear that plainly rather than get talked into a design that fights the parcel the whole way through permitting.
I'm not the one living in the house — I manage or rent out the property. Does that change anything?
Not really — a fair amount of the work Tal and Jacob take on is for owners who don't live in the home themselves, whether that's a rental near the NoHo transit core or a property managed on behalf of family in Glendale. It helps to give us the property address along with your own contact info, and to flag upfront if there's a tenant, an HOA, or an architectural review board that needs to sign off on anything. Mention the arrangement on the call and the consultation gets scheduled around whatever access and approvals are actually needed.
Is the 24-hour line real, or does it stop answering after a certain point at night?
It's real. The number that's published is the number that's actually staffed, day or night, by Tal, Jacob, or their team — not a claim that quietly falls apart once it's past a certain hour. Plenty of people use the late-night window just to describe a project and get a daytime visit on the calendar rather than to handle anything urgent, and that's exactly what the line is there for.
Can I just stop by the office at 1006 Magnolia Blvd?
You can — that's our real address, 1006 Magnolia Blvd, Burbank, CA 91506 — but almost everything gets handled over the phone and at the property itself, since a remodel is planned and built at your home rather than across a counter. It's a good address to have on file for paperwork, or simply to confirm this is a real, physical business before you commit to a consultation. For anything project-specific, calling (747) 350-1456 to set up an in-home visit will move things faster than walking in.
What's the fastest way to actually get something moving?
Pick up the phone and call (747) 350-1456 — you don't need a polished plan, just a rough idea of what you're thinking. Tal or Jacob will ask a handful of questions, confirm the address falls inside coverage, and get a free in-home consultation on the calendar, which is where the real work starts. Everything after that follows the same order: consultation, 3D design, written estimate, then the build, with the scope and the price both agreed on paper before a single tool comes out.
