ADU Company in Chino, CA
Kitchen remodeling in Chino usually means reworking a 1970s or 1980s ranch kitchen inside a house that was framed when nobody imagined wall ovens, pot fillers, or a family of five cooking at once. We see a lot of galley kitchens and peninsula layouts in Chino’s tract homes, and most jobs involve taking down one wall, upgrading the electrical to handle modern appliances, and adding ventilation that actually moves air in a valley that clears 100 degrees most summers. If you’re planning an ADU, the kitchen finishing is part of what we do in-house, so the same crew that builds the structure can build out the interior. Call us at (877) 265-9846 when you want to walk through what makes sense on your lot.
Why Chino Homes Are Different
Chino’s housing stock splits into two distinct worlds, and each one changes how we approach a remodel or a build. The 91710 side is dominated by mid-century and late-20th-century single-family ranch and tract homes, many with detached or oversized garages. Those homes sit on generous lots, often with alley access in the rear and utility easements that run along property lines. When we work back there, every inch of setback matters because the city’s plan check for ADUs and additions focuses hard on lot coverage. You can’t just drop a structure where the grass happens to be; you have to map the easements first, and in older Chino neighborhoods those easements can be oddly placed.
The 91708 area around The Preserve is a different animal entirely. Newer planned communities there add HOA architectural review and CC&Rs on top of city permits, which means two approvals happening at the same time with different standards. One reviewer cares about fire code and structural load; the other cares about whether your exterior paint matches the neighborhood palette. We’re used to coordinating both. Chino’s climate also shapes the work. Summer heat here is sustained, Santa Ana events are real, and an under-insulated ADU or a kitchen without a real exhaust path becomes unpleasant fast. We plan for that from the start rather than treating Chino like a coastal city with milder assumptions.
Our Main Chino Services
Most Chino homeowners call us about one of two things: adding a detached ADU in the backyard, or remodeling a bathroom that has been carrying a family since the Reagan administration. Both are covered below, and both link to their own dedicated Chino pages where you can go deeper before calling.
ADU Builders in Chino
Chino is one of the few cities in this part of the Inland Empire where a detached backyard ADU is usually the most practical play, because the lots can actually fit one. We evaluate your parcel against Chino’s lot coverage and setback rules, which is where most prefab plans die, and then match you to a build method: modular, panelized, 3D-printed, shed-conversion, or full site-built. Seven manufacturers sit on our list, including Boxabl, Plant Prefab, and Tuff Shed, so the recommendation comes from your lot and budget, not our inventory. Learn more on the dedicated page: ADU Builders in Chino.
Bathroom Remodeling in Chino
Bathroom remodels in Chino’s older ranch homes often reveal cast iron drain lines, undersized venting, and tile that was set directly over drywall. We open the walls, repair what’s actually there, and rebuild with waterproofing that holds up to the temperature swings and dry air of the Inland Empire. The same crew does bathroom work as the interior finish on ADU builds, so there is one point of accountability from rough plumbing to final caulk.

Kitchen Remodeling in Chino
A kitchen remodel in Chino typically runs $22,000 to $72,000 in 2025 depending on scope, and the single biggest driver is what hides behind the walls of a house built between 1955 and 1985. Those kitchens were wired for an era of a single refrigerator and a toaster, so the first thing we usually do is pull new circuits. The second is ventilation. Chino summers are brutal, and a kitchen without a properly vented range hood turns a remodeled space into a heat trap by July. If you want a single team that handles the design, the electrical, the cabinetry, and the countertop installation without a parade of subcontractors, you’ll want to read what our Kitchen Remodeling practice does, because we finish kitchens the same way we finish ADU interiors, with our own crews.
Full Kitchen Renovation
Signs you need it
Your Chino kitchen still has its original 1970s particle-board cabinets, the layout forces two people into a single hip-check, or the wiring trips a breaker when the microwave and the toaster run at once.
What it costs in Chino
Expect $28,000 to $72,000 for a full kitchen renovation in Chino, with the top of that range reflecting structural wall removal, custom cabinetry, and premium stone tops.
How we do it
We demo to the studs, rerun the electrical and plumbing as needed, move or open walls if the budget allows, then set cabinets, counters, tile, fixtures, and trim with the same in-house crew from start to finish.
Cabinet Refacing and Countertop Replacement
Signs you need it
Your cabinet boxes are solid wood and structurally sound, but the doors are yellowed, the hinges sag, and the laminate counters are peeling at the seams.
What it costs in Chino
Cabinet refacing in Chino usually runs $7,500 to $18,000, and a modest countertop replacement on top of that typically adds $3,000 to $8,000.
How we do it
We keep the existing cabinet boxes, strip and replace the doors, drawer fronts, and hardware, then template and set new countertop material chosen to handle Chino’s heat and direct sun.

Prices in Chino move upward when a house needs a service panel upgrade for a modern kitchen, or when a backyard ADU site requires extra grading because of the city’s lot coverage and setback review on irregular parcels. HOA design review in the 91708 Preserve area can also add time, though not directly cost, but our quotes are always fixed and written line by line so you know the number before we start.

FAQs About ADU Company in Chino
Yes. We prepare and submit plans to the City of Chino for kitchen remodels and ADU work, and we coordinate HOA design review in planned communities like The Preserve. Permits are pulled before work begins and inspections are scheduled as each phase completes.
It depends on scope and plan review times, but most Chino kitchen remodels are ready to schedule within two to four weeks of a signed contract. ADU projects depend more on city review and HOA approval, so the process can stretch to two or three months before construction starts.
Older 91710 homes usually need more electrical and plumbing work, which adds cost to any kitchen remodel. Newer 91708 homes tend to have updated infrastructure, but their HOA design-review requirements can add time and occasionally limit choices on exterior changes, so the real difference is usually schedule rather than money.

What Chino Customers Say
"Detached unit in the back yard. Utilities trenched, separate meter, and it passed final on the first inspection."
— Todd Rhodes"Unit came out great and the tenant is happy. The timeline ran long, largely because of how slow the city was on plan check, though a couple of the delays were scheduling on their end."
— Elena Torres"Every invoice was tied to a completed milestone, so I always knew what I was paying for."
— Beatriz Mendoza
