ADU Company in Redlands, CA
Kitchen remodeling in Redlands means working inside homes built between 1900 and 1960, where walls hide knob-and-tube wiring, floors have settled, and the original galley kitchen was sized for a different century. We handle the full remodel from demolition through finished millwork, including the structural corrections these older homes need before new cabinets go in. Redlands summers push past 100°F, so we plan ventilation and appliance placement around heat load, not just aesthetics. We’re a full ADU and remodeling contractor, and the kitchen work ties directly into our ADU builds when the new unit needs an in-house finish crew. Call (877) 265-9846 for a free estimate.
Why Redlands Homes Are Different
Redlands is a citrus-belt city with housing stock that predates modern building codes. Craftsman bungalows, Spanish Revival homes, and early ranch houses dominate the neighborhoods south of the 10 and around the university. These homes sit on generous lots, which is why ADUs work so well here, but the main house itself carries a century of quirks. Floor joists were sometimes notched for plumbing in the 1940s. Electrical panels that served a 60-amp household now need to carry a remodeled kitchen with induction cooktops and double ovens.
The climate shapes every decision. Redlands sits east of the coastal fog belt, so kitchens bake in afternoon sun from May through October. We size range hoods and venting for houses that stay closed up with air conditioning running, and we pay attention to west-facing window treatments so a remodeled kitchen does not become a solar oven. The dry heat also means wood cabinets and flooring need acclimation time before installation to prevent gapping later.
The historic-preservation culture in Redlands is stronger than in newer Inland Empire cities. Homes in the older core often carry design guidelines that affect exterior kitchen changes, like adding a range hood vent through a visible wall or changing window sizes. We navigate those reviews so the remodel stays on schedule.
Our Main Redlands Services
Homeowners in Redlands call us most often about two projects: building a detached ADU on an oversized citrus-grove lot, and remodeling a bathroom in a home where the original fixtures date to the Eisenhower administration. Both jobs require working with older infrastructure and city permitting realities, which we know well.
ADU Builders in Redlands
Redlands lots are some of the best ADU sites in the Inland Empire. The large parcels and mature setbacks mean a detached unit often fits without encroaching on the main house or the established trees that define older neighborhoods. We work across prefab and site-built formats, so the recommendation follows your lot, not our inventory. Heritage tree root zones and older sewer laterals are the two planning constraints we see most often here. ADU Builders in Redlands covers the full build process, manufacturers we source from, and how we handle Redlands permitting.
Bathroom Remodeling in Redlands
Bathrooms in Redlands’ early-20th-century housing stock are small by modern standards, often five feet wide with a single fixture wall. Remodeling them means reworking the footprint without disturbing lath-and-plaster walls more than necessary, and upgrading supply lines that may still be galvanized steel. We run the same in-house crew that finishes our ADU interiors, so the drywall, tile, and fixture work happens under one contract with one schedule. Bathroom Remodeling in Redlands explains typical project scopes, timelines, and what old-house plumbing upgrades add to the budget.

Kitchen Remodeling in Redlands
Kitchen remodeling in Redlands usually means opening up a closed-off galley in a 1920s Craftsman or a 1950s ranch, upgrading everything from the subfloor up, and adding ventilation and cooling capacity that the original house never anticipated. The job often starts with correcting framing and wiring defects we uncover during demo, because homes this age have had decades of handyman fixes layered on top of the original build. Our Kitchen Remodeling work runs from full gut remodels to cabinet refacing and countertop replacement, and because we build ADUs, we understand how a kitchen remodel in the main house can coordinate with a future unit’s plumbing and electrical feeds.
Full Gut Kitchen Remodel
Signs you need it
The layout no longer functions, the cabinets are original to a house built before 1960, and the floor has a visible slope or bounce that suggests structural issues beneath the tile.
What it costs in Redlands
A full gut remodel in Redlands typically runs $45,000 to $80,000 depending on footprint, structural corrections, and finish level.
How we do it
We strip the room to framing, correct or replace damaged joists and subfloor, rough in new plumbing and electrical, then rebuild with insulation, drywall, cabinetry, counters, and appliances.
Cabinet Refacing and Countertop Replacement
Signs you need it
The cabinet boxes are solid wood and structurally sound, but the doors and drawer fronts are delaminating, yellowed, or styled for another decade, and the laminate counters are chipped or burned.
What it costs in Redlands
Expect $12,000 to $25,000 for refacing doors, drawer fronts, and end panels plus new countertops on a typical Redlands kitchen.
How we do it
We remove existing doors and hardware, apply new veneers to face frames, hang new doors and drawers, install the new countertop, and reconnect the sink and faucet.

FAQs About ADU Company in Redlands
Yes. We pull all required Redlands permits for ADU construction and kitchen or bathroom remodels, including historic-review submittals when the property requires them. We manage the plan check and inspection process so you are not running documents to City Hall yourself. Call (877) 265-9846 with your address and we will tell you what your specific property triggers.
Usually yes, but the tree’s root zone dictates where the foundation and utility trench can go. Redlands protects certain mature trees, and we design the unit’s placement around those constraints instead of fighting them. This is one reason we recommend site visits early in the process.
For most Redlands projects, we can complete an estimate within two to three weeks and begin work once permits clear, which typically adds another two to four weeks depending on the scope. ADU builds and full kitchen remodels are scheduled in the order deposits are received. Call (877) 265-9846 to get on the schedule.

What Redlands Customers Say
"Every invoice was tied to a completed milestone, so I always knew what I was paying for."
— Beatriz Mendoza"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."
