ADU Company in Palm Springs, CA
Kitchen remodeling in Palm Springs means working with homes built between 1955 and 1965, where original footprint and carport-to-kitchen sightlines shape every design decision. The desert climate adds another layer: cabinetry and finishes have to survive 110°F summers without warping, and ventilation has to work hard during months when the AC runs nonstop. Newport Beach ADU Builders handles the full job, from demo through cabinet install and countertop templating, with one contractor and one schedule. Call (844) 934-0236 to talk through your Palm Springs kitchen.
Why Palm Springs Homes Are Different
Most of the single-family stock in Palm Springs is 1950s – 60s ranch and mid-century modern. In Vista Las Palmas, Racquet Club Estates, and Sunmor, that means flat or low-slope roofs, block walls, and original carports rather than attached garages. A kitchen remodel here often uncovers surprises behind the wallboard: undersized framing, brittle 60-amp panels, or old cast-iron drain lines. These aren’t reasons to walk away; they’re reasons to plan for them before demo begins.
The climate compounds it. Intense UV and months of triple-digit heat bake south- and west-facing walls, so insulation, window replacement, and vent routing carry more weight than they would in a coastal city. Monsoon-season downpours off the San Jacinto and Santa Rosa mountains can overwhelm old flashing and under-slab joints. And HOAs are active here, with many communities requiring plan review before any exterior change, even something as simple as relocating a range hood vent. We plan around those constraints from day one.
Our Main Palm Springs Services
Beyond the kitchen remodeling work covered below, Palm Springs homeowners call us most often for two other projects: building a detached ADU and renovating a dated bathroom. Each has its own Palm Springs page with local pricing and specifics.
ADU Builders in Palm Springs
Palm Springs lots and setbacks shape what an ADU can be. Many properties have existing pools, casitas, or breeze-block walls that dictate placement before we even look at floor plans. The city caps ADUs at 1,200 sq ft and often at one bedroom, and if you plan to use the unit as a short-term rental, the STR permit cap adds a layer of financial planning. We work with manufacturers like Boxabl and Plant Prefab for factory-built speed, and we handle foundation, utilities, and finish work under one contract. ADU Builders in Palm Springs covers full details.
Bathroom Remodeling in Palm Springs
Bathrooms in 1950s and 1960s Palm Springs homes tend to be small, with original tile set on thick mortar beds and galvanized supply lines that have seen better decades. Remodeling here usually means reconfiguring a tight footprint, adding ventilation that can handle high desert heat, and selecting finishes that resist hard-water spotting from the local supply. We do the full gut, plumbing, waterproofing, and finish work, so you’re not coordinating a tile setter and a plumber on two different schedules. Bathroom Remodeling in Palm Springs walks through pricing and process.

Kitchen Remodeling in Palm Springs
Kitchen remodeling in Palm Springs is about updating a 60-year-old room without losing what makes these homes special: the clean lines, the natural light, the block-and-glass connection to the backyard. We regularly open up galley kitchens in Racquet Club Estates and Vista Las Palmas by removing a non-structural wall to bring the pool and mountain views into the cooking space. Climate drives our material choices too, with low-maintenance slab surfaces and hardware that won’t degrade under relentless sun. If you’re weighing options, start with our Kitchen Remodeling overview, then call us for Palm Springs-specific numbers.
Full Kitchen Gut and Rebuild
Signs you need it
Your cabinets are delaminating from decades of dry heat, the layout traps two people behind an open dishwasher door, and the original 1962 wiring can’t support modern appliances.

A full kitchen gut and rebuild in Palm Springs typically runs $28,000 – $60,000, depending on structural changes and finish grade.
How we do it
We demo to studs, correct framing and electrical, reroute plumbing for the new layout, then handle drywall, cabinetry, countertops, tile, and appliance fit-out as one crew.
Cabinet Refacing and Hardware Update
Signs you need it
Your cabinet boxes are solid but the doors are faded, the hinges sag, and the whole kitchen looks ten years older than it is.

How we do it
We re-veneer or paint existing boxes, install new doors and drawer fronts, and replace hinges and slides so everything closes flush and quiet.
Countertop and Backsplash Replacement
Signs you need it
Your laminate or tile counters are chipped, stained, or buckling at the seams, and you want a surface that handles heat and UV without constant sealing.

How long does a kitchen remodel take in Palm Springs?
A full gut and rebuild takes four to eight weeks, depending on structural changes, countertop fabrication lead times, and HOA approval for any exterior vent or window changes. We schedule cabinets and fabrication early so you’re not living without a kitchen longer than necessary. Call (844) 934-0236 for a realistic timeline on your project.
Can you remodel a kitchen in a mid-century Palm Springs home without ruining the style?
Yes. We keep flat-panel cabinetry, simple pulls, and clean sightlines intact while upgrading what’s hidden: wiring, plumbing, insulation, ventilation. The goal is a kitchen that looks like it was part of the 1960 design, not stapled onto it. Call (844) 934-0236 to talk about your specific house.

FAQs About ADU Company in Palm Springs
Yes. We submit plans to the City of Palm Springs and coordinate HOA architectural review where it applies. Design review in Palm Springs communities can reject a project based on sightlines, roof pitch, and exterior materials, so we tailor drawings to the governing community’s standards before submission. That preparation shortens approval time.
For most kitchen remodels, we can start within two to four weeks, depending on the permit route and your HOA’s review calendar. ADU projects in Palm Springs typically need more lead time because plan check and engineering take longer, especially on lots with pool setbacks or hillside drainage requirements. Call (844) 934-0236 for a current start window.
For ADUs, yes: the city caps detached units at 1,200 sq ft and often limits them to one bedroom, which keeps many projects under the minor conditional use permit threshold. Kitchen remodels inside the existing home footprint have more flexibility, but any exterior change like a new vent or window still faces HOA review. We work within those limits from the first drawing.

What Palm Springs Customers Say
"Detached unit in the back yard. Utilities trenched, separate meter, and it passed final on the first inspection."
— Steven Nguyen"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."
— Heather Ackerman"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."
— Diego Castillo
