ADU Company in Westminster, CA
Kitchen remodeling in Westminster usually runs between $22,000 and $48,000 for a full gut renovation, with smaller updates landing around $12,000 to $18,000. The work here leans heavily on correcting decades of ad-hoc changes to 1950s and 1960s tract homes, where enclosed patios, informal additions, and converted garages have left kitchens cramped and cut off from the rest of the house. We’re Newport Beach ADU Builders, and we’ve served Westminster since 2016. Call (844) 934-0236 for a free estimate on a kitchen that finally works the way your family actually lives.
Why Westminster Homes Are Different
Westminster’s housing stock is mostly single-story stucco tract homes built between the 1950s and 1970s, sitting on lots of roughly 6,000 to 7,200 square feet. That sounds roomy on paper, but decades of change have eaten into the space. Many of these homes have converted garages, enclosed patios, and rear additions that were never permitted. When we open up a Westminster kitchen, we’re often the first contractor to see what’s behind those walls in 40 years: undersized framing, improvised electrical runs, and plumbing that snakes in directions the original builder never intended.
The climate works in your favor for kitchen work. Westminster’s coastal-inland Orange County weather means mild, dry summers and almost no rain, so we rarely fight moisture damage or weather delays. The real challenge is heat. Late-afternoon sun hammers west-facing kitchens, and many of these older homes lack proper ventilation. A remodel that adds better airflow, a stronger range hood, and heat-reflecting window treatments changes how the whole house feels by 4 p.m. in August.
There’s also a permitting reality here that homeowners in newer cities don’t face. Westminster’s planning department is familiar with the city’s history of unpermitted work, and inspectors look carefully at any renovation that touches existing modifications. We handle that conversation for you: we flag what needs to be brought up to code, pull the permits, and schedule inspections so you’re not stuck untangling paperwork on your own.
Our Main Westminster Services
Most Westminster homeowners call us for two things: adding an ADU to a tight lot, or remodeling a bathroom inside a house that hasn’t been updated since the Nixon administration.
ADU Builders in Westminster
Westminster is one of Orange County’s densest Little Saigon cities, and the ADU boom here runs through multi-generational households wanting a detached unit for aging parents or adult children. The catch is that many backyards are already occupied by converted garages or unpermitted rear rooms, so the real first step is a code-compliance walk of the existing structures before design even starts. Newport Beach ADU Builders has served Westminster since 2016, and we handle that untangling as part of the build. Learn more on our ADU Builders in Westminster page.
Bathroom Remodeling in Westminster
Westminster’s older tract homes typically have one full bathroom and maybe a cramped half-bath, sized for 1960s households of three. Today’s multi-generational families need more. We remodel bathrooms in Westminster with an eye toward accessibility: walk-in showers with grab-bar blocking, comfort-height vanities, and flooring that won’t turn slick when wet. Because we’re already on-site for ADU work, we can often coordinate bathroom remodels in the main house under the same permit cycle. See Bathroom Remodeling in Westminster for specifics.

Kitchen Remodeling in Westminster
Westminster kitchens in 1950s and 1960s tract homes tend to be small, closed off from the living space, and modified over the years by well-meaning homeowners who added counters or cabinets without permits. When we remodel a kitchen in Westminster, we usually open a load-bearing wall to connect the kitchen to the dining area, upgrade the electrical panel to handle modern appliances, and correct any unpermitted work we find so the final inspection passes clean. Our Kitchen Remodeling work spans layout changes, cabinet replacement, countertop upgrades, and full interior finishes, all under one contractor relationship.
Full Kitchen Renovation
Signs you need it
The layout cuts the cook off from the rest of the family, cabinet doors sag, drawers stick, and the electrical can’t run the microwave and toaster at the same time.
What it costs in Westminster
A full kitchen renovation in Westminster typically runs $22,000 to $48,000, depending on cabinet grade, countertop material, and whether we move plumbing or remove walls.
How we do it
We start with a permit check on existing conditions, then demo, reframe any openings, run new electrical and plumbing to code, and finish with cabinets, counters, flooring, and appliances.
Cabinet and Countertop Replacement
Signs you need it
The cabinet boxes are swollen from years of steam, laminate is peeling, and the counters are so worn that scrubbing no longer makes them look clean.
What it costs in Westminster
Cabinet and countertop replacement in Westminster usually lands between $8,000 and $18,000 for mid-grade materials, with premium stone pushing toward the upper end.
How we do it
We measure the existing footprint, order replacement cabinets and counters from suppliers we’ve worked with for years, pull the old units, and install new ones with shims and leveling so doors close true.

What Westminster 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
