ADU Company in Riverside, CA
Kitchen remodeling in Riverside means working with homes built mostly between the 1920s and 1950s, where original floor plans were designed for a different era of cooking and gathering. We’re Newport Beach ADU Builders, and we’ve served Riverside since 2016 as a kitchen remodeling contractor and ADU specialist. Our team handles the full kitchen remodel from demo to finish work, and because we also build ADUs and remodel bathrooms, the crew that opens your walls can also handle the permit set, the plumbing rough-in, and the finish cabinetry without sending you to a second company. Call (844) 934-0236 to talk through your Riverside kitchen.
Why Riverside Homes Are Different
Riverside’s housing stock splits into two distinct types, and each one changes how a kitchen remodel should be approached. The core neighborhoods – the Wood Streets, Arlington Heights, Magnolia Center – are filled with 1920s to 1950s one-story stucco bungalows and post-war tract homes. These houses have real character but original kitchens were often 80 to 100 square feet with a single wall of cabinets and no room for a dishwasher. Opening one up usually means working around load-bearing walls, old galvanized plumbing, and electrical panels that were sized for a 60-amp service.
Newer subdivisions in La Sierra, Orangecrest, and Canyon Crest present a different set of conditions. Homes from the 1990s and 2000s have larger kitchens but often suffer from builder-grade cabinets that are delaminating, tile counters with failing grout, and layouts that don’t match how families actually use the space today. The climate matters in every part of Riverside. Summers routinely hit 100°F and dry Santa Ana winds push dust into every gap, so we specify ventilation, insulation, and finishes that hold up to heat and low humidity rather than materials that warp or fade. A kitchen here needs to be built for inland Southern California, not coastal assumptions.
Our Main Riverside Services
Riverside homeowners call us most often about two things: building an ADU on their existing lot, and remodeling a bathroom inside the main house. Both jobs run through the same permitting office and often the same property, which is why we handle them under one contract.
ADU Builders in Riverside
Riverside has some of the most ADU-friendly permitting in California, with pre-approved plans and a dedicated ADU ordinance that moves standard rear-detached designs through plan check quickly. The deep lots in the Wood Streets and Magnolia Center make detached units the natural choice, though setback rules tied to the old citrus-grove property lines mean a survey should happen before the permit set does. We build across the full format range – modular, prefab, panelized, and custom – and match the build method to your lot, budget, and timeline. See ADU Builders in Riverside for the full breakdown.
Bathroom Remodeling in Riverside
Older Riverside homes often have one bathroom that was built when the house was new, with cast-iron drain lines and a footprint that barely fits a modern vanity. We remodel bathrooms in every era of Riverside housing, from pre-war bungalows in the core to newer homes in Orangecrest, handling the plumbing, waterproofing, tile, and fixtures ourselves. Because we also remodel kitchens and build ADUs, a bathroom that sits next to a new ADU or a kitchen remodel doesn’t require coordinating two contractors.

Kitchen Remodeling in Riverside
Kitchen remodeling in Riverside tends to follow two paths: opening up a small original kitchen in a 1920s-1950s home, or replacing tired builder-grade materials in a 1990s-2000s house. The older homes need structural work, plumbing updates, and careful layout planning to make a small footprint function well. The newer homes usually need cabinet replacement, counter upgrades, and better ventilation for inland heat. Either way, we handle the whole job from demo through finish, and we’re the same contractor that builds ADUs and remodels bathrooms, so a Riverside kitchen renovation can move without juggling multiple bids. Our Kitchen Remodeling work stays under one roof from the first measurement to the final walkthrough.

How we do it
We strip the room to framing, move or remove walls as the plan requires, replace plumbing and electrical, then rebuild with new cabinets, counters, flooring, lighting, and appliances.

What Riverside Customers Say
"Sound insulation between the unit and the main house is better than I expected. You genuinely cannot hear the tenant."
— Malik Nash"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
