ADU Company in Crestline, CA
Kitchen remodeling in Crestline means working with mid-century mountain cabins, steep forested lots, and freeze-thaw winters that punish cheap materials. Colonial ADU Builders has served Crestline since 2011, and we handle everything from full kitchen teardowns to the interior finish on a new ADU, including the cabinetry, countertops, and plumbing rough-in. For any kitchen or ADU question, call (877) 265-9846.
Why Crestline Homes Are Different
Crestline sits at roughly 4,600 feet inside the San Bernardino National Forest, and the housing stock reflects it. Most homes are mid-century or 1960s – 80s cabins, often on pier-and-beam or raised foundations cut into sloping lots near Lake Gregory. That means floor plans built before open-concept layouts, undersized electrical panels, and plumbing that freezes if a vent or pipe sits too close to the crawlspace edge. Snow loads matter here. A roof that shrugs off rain in the valley can fail under a February snowpack, so any ADU or kitchen project that touches an exterior wall has to account for the roof system above it. Heavy pine debris plugs gutters and finds its way into soffit vents. And wildfire season is not theoretical: ember-resistant vents, tempered glass in certain exposures, and noncombustible siding details are part of the conversation on nearly every permit. These conditions change how we scope a kitchen remodel or an ADU shell, from insulation choices to the way we flash a new range hood exhaust.
Our Main Crestline Services
Two services dominate the calls we take from Crestline homeowners: full ADU construction and standalone bathroom remodeling, which also serves as the interior finish for the ADU shells we build.
ADU Builders in Crestline
Detached ADUs here face forest-to-code realities: Chapter 7A wildfire construction rules, tree-removal and defensible-space clearing, and leach-field setbacks that often dictate where a unit can physically sit. We match each lot to the right construction method – modular, panelized, shed-conversion, or site-built – then handle permits, foundation, shell, and interior finish under one contract. On Lake Gregory parcels, the septic system is usually the deciding factor, not the property line. For the full breakdown, see ADU Builders in Crestline.
Bathroom Remodeling in Crestline
Bathroom remodels in Crestline frequently start with the same underlying problem: a 1960s cabin bathroom with a floor that has settled, a vent fan that dumps into the attic, and supply lines that run through an uninsulated crawlspace. Freeze-protected plumbing is not optional at this elevation. We handle everything from shower pan replacement to full re-pipe, and because we finish our own ADU interiors, the same crew that builds a new unit also does the bathroom inside it. See Bathroom Remodeling in Crestline for the complete scope.

Kitchen Remodeling in Crestline
Kitchen remodeling in Crestline usually means opening up a closed-off 1960s or 70s cabin kitchen, fixing the electrical panel to handle modern appliances, and protecting everything against mountain winters. A newer furnace in the living room does not help when supply lines run under a pier-and-beam floor with gaps in the skirting. We work from foundation to finished kitchen – one team, one contract – and because we build ADUs, we also handle the kitchen inside a new unit, from rough-in to cabinet installation. That is the kind of scope we do every week through our Kitchen Remodeling work.
Full Kitchen Remodel
Signs you need it
Appliances have tripped the same breaker for years, the cabinets are MDF swollen from humidity, and the layout still assumes one person cooks while everyone else stays out.
What it costs in Crestline
A full kitchen remodel in Crestline typically runs $42,000 – $85,000 depending on cabinet grade, appliance selection, and whether walls move.
How we do it
We start with a site walk to check framing, electrical service, and crawlspace conditions, then produce a fixed-price plan, pull the permit, and run demo, rough-in, cabinetry, counters, and finish trim with in-house crews.
Kitchen Cabinet Upgrade
Signs you need it
The cabinet boxes are solid wood and worth keeping, but the doors are delaminating and the layout wastes the only usable wall in the room.
What it costs in Crestline
Cabinet refacing or replacement in Crestline typically runs $12,000 – $28,000 depending on door style, hardware, and whether boxes need modification for new appliances.
How we do it
We measure the existing boxes, order or build doors to fit the as-built dimensions – which matter more on sagging cabin floors – and install them with soft-close hardware and painted or stained finishes that match the house.
Kitchen Countertop Replacement
Signs you need it
The laminate is peeling at the seams, or the tile counter has cracked grout and you want a surface that can handle daily use for another twenty years.
What it costs in Crestline
Countertop replacement in Crestline typically runs $4,000 – $9,500 including fabrication, edge treatment, sink cutout, and install.
How we do it
We template the existing cabinets after leveling them – critical on older mountain floors – then fabricate and install the new surface, reconnecting the sink and plumbing the same day.
What Kitchen Remodeling Costs in Crestline
| Item | Typical range in Crestline |
|---|---|
| Full kitchen remodel | $42,000 – $85,000 |
| Cabinet upgrade or refacing | $12,000 – $28,000 |
| Countertop replacement | $4,000 – $9,500 |
Prices in Crestline run higher than valley-floor work because of snow-load framing, crawlspace access, and the extra time required for permits in a fire-prone mountain zone. We write fixed-price contracts with no change orders, so the number we quote is the number you pay.
How long does a kitchen remodel take in Crestline?
A full kitchen remodel in Crestline typically takes 5 – 8 weeks from demo to final walkthrough. Permit review at elevation can add 1 – 2 weeks, and winter weather occasionally delays material delivery. Call (877) 265-9846 for a schedule based on your specific scope.
Will my Crestline kitchen remodel raise my home’s wildfire insurance?
It can, but often the opposite: bringing a kitchen up to current electrical code and adding ember-resistant venting can help with some carriers. We document every upgrade for your insurer. Call (877) 265-9846 to discuss what to expect for your lot.

What Crestline Customers Say
"Garage conversion to a one bedroom unit. He handled the plans, the city submittal, and every round of corrections. Took six months from first meeting to final inspection and he never once made the permit process my problem."
— Christine Kim"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
