ADU Company in San Bernardino, CA
Kitchen remodeling in San Bernardino usually costs between $28,000 and $72,000 for a full renovation, with budget refreshes starting around $12,000 and high-end work reaching $95,000. Most of the homes we walk into are 1950s through 1970s single-story tract builds with original framing, outdated electrical panels, and layouts that were designed before anyone thought about islands or open sightlines. Newport Beach ADU Builders handles the kitchen remodel plus any ADU construction or bathroom work on the same property, so you’re not juggling three contractors across one permit cycle.

Why San Bernardino Homes Are Different
San Bernardino’s housing stock is overwhelmingly post-WWII tract construction, built fast between 1950 and 1980. That means stucco exteriors, composition roofs, and floor plans that put the kitchen in a closed-off corner with a formal dining room nobody uses. What we see repeatedly in the flat neighborhoods around 92404, 92405, 92410, and 92411 is the same story: 6,000 to 8,000 square foot lots with detached garages, wide driveways, and plenty of room for an ADU, but the house itself needs real work before any addition makes sense.
The heat is the other constant. San Bernardino sits in the Inland Empire heat belt, where triple-digit summer days are normal and Santa Ana winds push dry air through the pass. A kitchen remodel here isn’t just about cabinets and countertops. It’s about ventilation that can handle August, insulation that keeps the cooling bill sane, and materials that won’t warp or fade under direct sun. Homes near the Santa Ana River and its tributaries also carry FEMA flood zone designations, which affects where appliances and utilities can legally sit. These are San Bernardino-specific realities that a contractor from the coast won’t think about until the inspector brings them up.
Our Main San Bernardino Services
The two calls we get most from San Bernardino homeowners are about ADU construction and bathroom remodeling, often from the same property owner looking to add rental income or a multigenerational suite.
ADU Builders in San Bernardino
San Bernardino’s wide flat lots and permissive zoning make it one of the strongest ADU cities in the Inland Empire. We build detached units, garage conversions, and prefab or modular ADUs from manufacturers like Abodu, Cover, and Tuff Shed, matched to your lot and budget. The catch here is often the existing house: outdated panels, galvanized plumbing, and sewer laterals that need upsizing before the city will sign off on a second unit. We handle that utility work as part of the same contract. Read the full breakdown at ADU Builders in San Bernardino.
Bathroom Remodeling in San Bernardino
Most San Bernardino bathrooms we see were built in the 60s and 70s: small footprints, original cast iron drains, and tile set over drywall that’s been soaking up humidity for fifty years. Remodeling here usually means addressing water damage first, then rebuilding with ventilation rated for an inland climate. We can combine a bathroom remodel with an ADU interior finish so the same crew handles both. Details are at Bathroom Remodeling in San Bernardino.

Kitchen Remodeling in San Bernardino
A kitchen remodel in San Bernardino typically runs $28,000 to $72,000, and the driving factor is usually the age of the house. Homes built between 1950 and 1980 were not designed for open floor plans, so removing the wall between the kitchen and living room almost always means adding a structural beam, relocating plumbing, and upgrading the electrical panel to handle modern appliance loads. The good news is that San Bernardino’s single-story tract layout makes that wall removal straightforward compared to multi-story coastal homes. Our team handles the full project, and we also offer Kitchen Remodeling guidance for those still comparing options.
Cabinet Refacing and Replacement
Signs you need it
Cabinet boxes are structurally sound but the faces are delaminating, hinges sag, or the finish has yellowed from decades of inland sun exposure.
What it costs in San Bernardino
Cabinet refacing falls in the $12,000 – $18,000 range while full replacement with mid-grade materials runs $18,000 – $35,000 depending on linear footage.
How we do it
We measure every existing box, order new doors and drawer fronts to fit, then either reface or swap boxes entirely, adjusting for San Bernardino’s dry-heat expansion cycles.
Galley to Open-Concept Conversion
Signs you need it
The kitchen is closed off behind a wall, the dining room sits empty, and the cook is isolated from the rest of the house during every gathering.
What it costs in San Bernardino
Wall removal with structural beam work in a San Bernardino tract home costs $8,000 – $18,000 above the base remodel, depending on whether the wall is load-bearing.
How we do it
We inspect the attic framing, size and install a beam if required, relocate utilities, and refinish the ceiling so the new open space looks original.

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