ADU Company in Highgrove, CA
Kitchen remodeling in Highgrove usually means opening up a 1950s-to-1980s floor plan inside a stucco, wood-frame home on a generous flat lot – and doing it in a way that holds up to hot inland summers without overloading an aging electrical panel. Most Highgrove kitchens we walk into were built for a different era: closed off from the living space, short on counter run, and running on wiring that predates modern appliance loads. We handle the full kitchen buildout – layout, cabinetry, counters, lighting, flooring, and the mechanical rough-in – under one crew, so the job doesn’t stall between trades.

Why Highgrove Homes Are Different
Highgrove sits in unincorporated Riverside County, which means permits for kitchen work here typically route through county building and planning rather than a city hall counter. That’s not a problem for us – we’ve worked the county process since 2012 – but it does change lead times and inspection scheduling compared to neighboring incorporated cities like Grand Terrace or Colton. The housing stock is mostly single-story, wood-frame construction with stucco exteriors, built between the 1950s and the 1980s. Those homes share a few recurring conditions: load-bearing walls that are straightforward to open up when an engineer plans the beam correctly, slab foundations that make moving plumbing a concrete-cutting job, and electrical services that often need a subpanel or full upgrade before a modern kitchen can be safely powered. Highgrove’s hot, smoggy summers also shape our recommendations. We spec insulation and cooling strategies that work in Riverside County’s inland heat, and we’re careful about relying on natural cross-ventilation when the air quality is poor – mechanical ventilation and filtration earn their cost here. The oversized lots common in Highgrove mean kitchens can sometimes expand outward as well as inward, which is a real advantage over tighter city lots nearby.
Our Main Highgrove Services
Highgrove homeowners call us most often for two projects: building an accessory dwelling unit on a deep lot, and reworking a dated bathroom to match a kitchen we’ve already remodeled. Both benefit from our ADU-first specialization and in-house interior teams.
ADU Builders in Highgrove
Detached ADUs are the dominant housing type in Highgrove because the lots are long and flat, and many properties already have a detached garage or workshop that can be converted or replaced under state ADU law. The wrinkle in Highgrove is the unincorporated county process: setbacks, height limits, and utility runs are less predictable here than in nearby incorporated cities, so we plan utility connections early and budget honestly for longer sewer, water, and power runs when the parcel is oversized or agricultural. We match you to the right build system – prefab, modular, or site-built – from brands we know firsthand, including Abodu, Cover, and Boxabl. See how a Highgrove ADU comes together on our ADU Builders in Highgrove page.
Bathroom Remodeling in Highgrove
Highgrove bathrooms from the 1960s and 1970s tend to be compact, with cast-iron tubs, original tile set in thick mortar beds, and exhaust fans that were undersized from day one. What that means in practice: demolition takes longer than homeowners expect, and moisture control matters more in a climate where summer heat pushes humidity through the roof on bad air days. We rebuild bathrooms with proper waterproofing, quieter exhaust, and layouts that work for aging-in-place or rental appeal – and because we also build ADUs, we understand how a secondary bathroom affects resale and house-hacking plans.

Kitchen Remodeling in Highgrove
Kitchen remodeling in Highgrove is our most-requested service, and the job almost always starts the same way: a closed-off 1950s-to-1980s kitchen with a load-bearing wall separating it from the living room, a slab foundation that makes plumbing relocation expensive, and an electrical panel that cannot handle a modern appliance suite. The Highgrove-specific solution is usually a layout that opens the kitchen to the dining space, upgrades the electrical service once rather than patching it, and specs ventilation and cooling suited to Riverside County’s hot, smoggy summers. We build the entire kitchen in-house – from framing and drywall to cabinetry, counters, tile, and finish plumbing – which keeps the schedule tight and the workmanship consistent. If you’re weighing a full gut versus a cosmetic refresh, call (855) 382-8121 and we’ll walk the actual numbers with you. You can also see our broader kitchen scope on our Kitchen Remodeling page.
Full Kitchen Gut and Rebuild
Signs you need it
Your Highgrove kitchen has original 1960s wiring, the layout walls off the living space, and the cabinets are delaminating from decades of inland heat cycling.
What it costs in Highgrove
A full gut-and-rebuild kitchen in Highgrove typically runs $45,000 to $85,000, with slab plumbing changes and panel upgrades moving the number toward the top of that range.
How we do it
We demo to the studs, rough in new plumbing and electrical (upgrading the panel if load demands it), reframe openings with engineered beams, hang and finish drywall, then install flooring, cabinetry, counters, tile, and fixtures in sequence.
Cabinet Refacing and Counter Replacement
Signs you need it
Your cabinet boxes are still square and solid, but the doors and drawer fronts are worn, and the laminate counters are chipped or stained beyond a clean look.
What it costs in Highgrove
Refacing cabinets and replacing counters in Highgrove generally lands between $15,000 and $30,000, depending on linear footage and the counter material you choose.
How we do it
We keep the cabinet boxes in place, replace doors, drawer fronts, and hardware, then template and install new counters – quartz and solid surface are the most common picks in Highgrove for heat and stain tolerance.
Kitchen Island Addition
Signs you need it
Your Highgrove kitchen has the floor space for an island but the current layout gives you no prep surface between the range and the sink.
What it costs in Highgrove
Adding a kitchen island with plumbing or electrical service in Highgrove typically costs $8,000 to $20,000, with slab cutting for utilities pushing the price up.
How we do it
We locate the island for clearances that meet county code, cut the slab for electrical and possibly plumbing lines, frame and finish the island, and tie in the countertop and fixtures.

What Highgrove Customers Say
"Every invoice was tied to a completed milestone, so I always knew what I was paying for."
— Rafael Castillo"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."
— Lucia Garcia"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."
— Lucia Rodriguez
