“We finally redid the kitchen after years of just working around it. The old cabinets were particle board and starting to fall apart, so we switched to solid plywood boxes with soft close hardware. They paired that with quartz countertops…”

North Hollywood’s housing tells two stories. The 1920s–1940s Spanish bungalows near the NoHo Arts District have compact, compartmentalized kitchens tucked behind arched doorways; the post-war ranch homes stretching toward Valley Village have the familiar closed galley. Both were built for a cook working alone, and both are routinely opened up today. In the older Spanish homes that means working carefully around original plaster, arched openings and hardwood floors worth keeping; in the ranch homes it usually means an engineered beam where a bearing wall used to be.
American Reliable Construction & Remodeling remodels kitchens across NoHo for homeowners and for the landlords who make this one of the Valley’s most active rental markets. From our Sherman Oaks office we handle design, structural engineering, cabinetry and stone, and the full LADBS permit process — one contract, one schedule, one crew accountable for the result.
The era of the house drives the scope behind the finishes. Spanish-era kitchens often need ungrounded wiring replaced, plaster repaired where walls open, and supply lines renewed; ranch-era kitchens more often need panel capacity and ducted ventilation where a recirculating hood used to be. We investigate these conditions at the estimate, not after demolition, so the written price reflects the house you actually own.

Read the cost guide- Preserving character in a Spanish bungalow
- Arched openings, original tile and plaster details are what make a NoHo bungalow worth owning. We design around them — keeping an arch where a wall opens, matching tile at transitions — so the kitchen gains function without erasing the house.
- Owner-occupied versus rental-grade finishes
- North Hollywood has a large rental market, and the right specification differs. Owner-occupied kitchens get custom or semi-custom cabinetry and natural stone; rental units get durable quartz, hard-wearing hardware and layouts that turn over cleanly between tenants.
- Where the dining space goes
- Bungalow kitchens rarely had an eat-in option. Opening to the dining room, adding a peninsula with seating, or borrowing space from an adjacent porch are the three usual answers — we model each before you commit.
- Appliance upgrades and the panel behind them
- Professional-style ranges and added refrigeration usually require new circuits and sometimes a service upgrade in NoHo’s older housing stock. We assess capacity early so the estimate reflects the real electrical scope.
- North Hollywood is part of the City of Los Angeles; kitchen permits are issued by LADBS.
- Structural wall removal, plumbing relocation, gas work and new circuits all require permits and inspections; like-for-like cosmetic updates generally do not.
- Older bungalows sometimes reveal unpermitted past work; we identify it during the estimate and bring it into the permitted scope where required.
- We manage drawings, plan check, corrections and every inspection. Requirements change; we confirm them with LADBS before finalizing your estimate.
Timeline
Design and selections typically take a few weeks; LADBS plan check adds time when walls or plumbing move. Once demolition starts, most North Hollywood kitchens take one to two months. In older bungalows we allow contingency for what demolition reveals behind plaster, and we order cabinetry and long-lead appliances before the first wall comes down so the schedule is not held hostage by deliveries. You receive a written, week-by-week schedule before we begin.
What homeowners say
“We recently completed a room addition along with a full roof customization, and the results are amazing. The team was professional, organized, and easy to communicate with throughout the entire project. The new room looks like it has always been part of the house, and the new roof was installed perfectly. Highly recommend their services!”
“I didn't think a bathroom could make that much of a difference until this one was finished. We kept the design pretty timeless with a walk in shower, porcelain tile, and a wood vanity, and it completely changed the feel of the space. It feels cleaner, more open, and just a lot more enjoyable to use every day.”
