Planning a kitchen remodel in Glendale with German cabinetry

For a kitchen remodel in Glendale, the design team is already in your city. We plan Nolte kitchens for Glendale homes of every era, from 1920s Rossmoyne revivals to hillside houses facing the Verdugo Mountains, and you can compare every material a few minutes from home.

01Glendale homes

Glendale homes, and the kitchens they ask for

Glendale’s housing tells the story of the city’s growth. Rossmoyne is known for 1920s and 1930s Spanish Colonial Revival and Tudor homes, with arched openings, plaster walls and kitchens that were never meant to be seen from the living room. Verdugo Woodlands and Glenoaks Canyon mix bungalows with post-war ranch houses, while Chevy Chase Canyon and Adams Hill add hillside homes with long views.

Closer to Brand Boulevard, newer condominiums and apartments bring compact, open kitchens where every inch counts. A Glendale kitchen remodel can mean opening a closed 1930s kitchen to the garden, or fitting a full working kitchen along a single condo wall.

02German cabinetry

Why frameless German cabinets suit Glendale houses

Older Glendale homes rarely have perfectly square walls or generous ceiling heights. Nolte’s 150 mm planning grid, three carcass heights and fillers let us fit cabinets precisely to the room, then finish them with panels so the result looks built-in. Frameless construction gives you more usable width inside each unit than face-frame cabinets of the same size.

In revival houses we often suggest frame fronts or warm matte lacquers that sit comfortably beside arches and plaster; in hillside and condo homes, handleless fronts keep a small kitchen calm. See our frameless cabinets page for the construction details.

04Close to home

A kitchen remodel in Glendale, planned minutes from home

Most Glendale homes are about 5 to 15 minutes from our showroom at 614 W. Colorado Street, depending on where you start and the time of day. Being this close makes it easy to come back with your partner, your contractor or a paint chip from the dining room, and to see a sample again in daylight before you decide.

Start with a showroom visit, or explore layouts first in the 3D configurator. If you are weighing a wider renovation, our kitchen remodel page explains how a German kitchen fits into the project.
