Girl Flip plans, permits and builds kitchen, bathroom and whole-home remodels for Glendale homeowners, from 1920s Craftsman bungalows to hillside houses below the Verdugo Mountains.
Glendale is a city of older homes with strong bones. Craftsman and Spanish bungalows from the 1920s fill the flat streets around Tropico and Rossmoyne, mid-century houses and apartments line the valley floor, and hillside homes climb toward the Verdugo Mountains. Most of them have kitchens and baths that were last updated a long time ago.
If you search for a home remodeling contractor in Glendale, you want someone who can handle the kitchen, the bathrooms and the structural work without bringing in a new crew for each room. That is how we work. Girl Flip is a licensed, women-led, family-owned general contractor, and kitchens are our specialty.
We also take on full-home remodels, additions and ADUs, so a Glendale project can start with one room and grow into a whole-house plan without changing teams.
Looking for one room? See our kitchen remodeling and bathroom remodeling pages. For bigger plans, see full home remodeling.
Every Glendale project is scoped in writing after a walkthrough. These are the jobs we plan most often here.

Explore →Glendale is its own city, so permits go through the City of Glendale, not LADBS. Moving walls, relocating plumbing, adding circuits or changing a gas line generally needs a permit. Swapping cabinets and counters in place often does not. We prepare the plans and manage inspections when a permit applies.
Glendale has several historic districts. If your home is in one, exterior changes can need review, and we ask about that early in the conversation. Interior kitchen and bathroom work is usually less affected, but we confirm for your address.
Hillside homes toward the Verdugo Mountains involve slopes, narrower streets and extra grading and drainage planning. Utilities also differ here. Glendale Water and Power is the city-owned utility for power and water, and an ADU or a larger remodel may need coordination with it.
Houses from the 1920s through the 1950s often hide older wiring and plumbing. We check the panel and supply lines during the walkthrough and tell you what is likely to come up.
Planning a remodel in Glendale? Tell us about your home and we will set up a discovery call.
A home remodel starts with a discovery call and a walkthrough, then a written scope and estimate. For a kitchen, plan on about 3 to 5 months from signed contract to final walkthrough. A typical bathroom takes about six weeks to build once work starts. Bigger projects, such as a full-home remodel or an addition, take longer, and we lay out the sequence before work begins.

For HGTV with Tarek El Moussa, we took a Long Beach house through a full gut remodel with an addition. The open kitchen, hardwood-look floors and clean lines show how a dated house can become a bright, open home. We also built two new detached ADUs on that property.

Whole-home remodels are the most variable category, and they often start around $100K to $250K or more, depending on square footage and scope. These are general market ranges, not a quote. A walkthrough is the only way to get a number that fits your house. Our remodel cost guide explains what moves it.
Kitchens and bathrooms have their own ranges. A mid-range kitchen remodel typically starts in the $50K to $100K range, and a mid-range bathroom commonly starts in the low tens of thousands of dollars.
