Honoring Glendale's Architecture While Modernizing Function
Glendale homeowners who want to modernize their kitchens without losing what makes their home special have found the right partner in Caspi Construction — where craftsmanship meets character-sensitive design.
Glendale's Rossmoyne, Verdugo Woodlands, and Adams Hill neighborhoods contain some of Los Angeles County's finest examples of 1920s–1940s Craftsman bungalows and Spanish Colonial homes.
These homes are architecturally rich — exposed beams, built-in cabinetry, original hardware — but their kitchens were built for a household that looked very different from yours.
A wall separating the kitchen from the formal dining room, tile countertops that stain and chip, cabinetry with no soft-close hardware and limited storage depth: these are common complaints we hear from Glendale homeowners.
Kitchen renovation in Glendale requires a contractor who understands how to modernize a space without erasing its architectural soul.
Caspi Construction has completed 112+ kitchen projects with a 4.9★ rating, and our team knows how to work within Glendale Building & Safety permit requirements — which differ from LADBS and require specific documentation.
Our Glendale Kitchen Remodeling Services
Character-Sensitive Layout Modernization
Glendale's older homes often have kitchens that were designed as separate rooms — a reflection of the formal household structure of that era.
We evaluate every wall in and around the kitchen, identify structural vs. non-structural elements, and create opening solutions that improve flow while respecting the home's original character.
When exposed beams or built-in elements are present, we design around them rather than through them.
Period-Appropriate Cabinetry & Hardware
Shaker-style cabinetry in painted or stained wood finishes is the natural choice for Glendale's Craftsman and Spanish Colonial kitchens — it honors the home's era while offering modern storage functionality.
We source from cabinet lines that offer mortise-and-tenon construction, soft-close hinges, and the kind of door proportions that complement older millwork.
Hardware Resources handles in period-appropriate finishes (brushed nickel, oil-rubbed bronze, unlacquered brass) complete the look.
Countertop & Backsplash Upgrades
Caesarstone quartz in softer, more neutral tones complements Glendale's older architectural stock without looking out of place.
For clients committed to a period aesthetic, we also install honed marble, soapstone, and butcher block surfaces.
Backsplash tile selection is critical in these kitchens — we often recommend 3x6 subway tile, handmade ceramic, or encaustic cement patterns that feel at home in a Craftsman or Spanish Colonial interior.
Ventilation, Plumbing & Electrical Modernization
Glendale's older kitchens frequently have ventilation systems that were installed decades ago and no longer meet code.
We upgrade range hoods, replace aging plumbing lines, and bring electrical panels and circuits up to current standards — all permitted through Glendale Building & Safety.
The Glendale kitchen design build process includes handling all plan submissions and coordinating inspections so your project ends with a final sign-off.

Recent Kitchen Projects Near Glendale
Project 1 — Rossmoyne Craftsman Kitchen
A 1928 Craftsman bungalow in Rossmoyne had an original kitchen separated from the dining room by a solid wall with a pass-through window — charming but impractical.
The homeowner wanted an open connection between the two spaces while keeping the home's original built-in hutch intact.
We removed the wall, preserved and refinished the hutch as a design feature, installed painted Shaker cabinetry with oil-rubbed bronze Hardware Resources pulls, and topped it all with honed Caesarstone quartz in a warm cream tone.
Permits were coordinated through Glendale Building & Safety, including the structural beam installation above the new opening.
Project 2 — Adams Hill Spanish Colonial Kitchen
An Adams Hill Spanish Colonial from the 1930s had a kitchen that had been updated piecemeal over the decades — a mix of laminate countertops, vinyl flooring, and upper cabinets of different heights and finishes.
The homeowner wanted to restore cohesion without a massive budget.
We installed a full set of inset-panel painted cabinets in a soft sage green, replaced all countertops with Caesarstone Dreamy Marfil, tiled the backsplash with handmade Moroccan ceramic in earth tones, and installed new Kohler fixtures throughout.
The kitchen renovation in Glendale was permitted and completed in eight weeks.
Project 3 — Brand Blvd Area Condo Kitchen
A mid-century condo near Brand Boulevard had a small but well-positioned kitchen that simply needed every inch maximized.
We extended the upper cabinets to ceiling height, added a refrigerator-depth pantry column, installed Caesarstone White Attica quartz, and replaced the dated tile floor with large-format porcelain in a light stone pattern.
The condo kitchen project was completed in four weeks — minimal disruption, major impact.
