Kitchen Remodeling in Encino

We opened up a kitchen in Encino as part of a full house remodel in 91316. The load-bearing wall between the kitchen and living room came out, and slim shaker cabinets with new counters went in. That job is on our projects page with before and after photos. Most Encino kitchens we see are in post-war ranch homes north of Ventura Boulevard or larger houses in the hills to the south. Both areas permit through LADBS. We plan the layout, engineer any wall that moves, and give you a full price before demolition starts.

Taking out the bearing wall

In the Encino job the wall between the kitchen and living room carried the roof. It was engineered, a new beam went in, and it passed LADBS inspection before drywall. It is the change that makes a ranch kitchen feel new.

How it works

Premier Hi-End Builders is a kitchen remodel contractor serving Greater Los Angeles. We build semi-custom and fully custom kitchens, islands, and open-concept layouts. Permits are filed when plumbing, gas, electrical, or walls move. You get a written scope and a labor and materials price before demolition.

We measure the room, look at what is behind the walls, and talk through what annoys you about the kitchen you have. Plumbing and electrical get checked here, because that is what moves a budget later.

Yes, with an engineer and an LADBS permit. We did exactly that in our Encino full remodel. The beam size and posts depend on what the wall is carrying.
