ADU Company in Fontana, CA
Kitchen remodeling in Fontana often means reworking a 1950s galley or a 1990s tract kitchen inside a house that bakes through Inland Empire summers. We’re Vineyard ADU Builders, an ADU specialist that also handles kitchens and bathrooms, and we’ve served Fontana since 2012. The job here is almost never just swapping cabinets: it’s re-routing plumbing in a post-war slab, adding ventilation that actually moves hot air, and building a kitchen that holds up through Santa Ana dust and triple-digit heat. Call (855) 382-8121 when you’re ready to plan it.
Why Fontana Homes Are Different
Fontana’s housing stock splits into two clear eras, and each changes how a kitchen remodel goes. The older core, especially 92335 and parts of 92336, holds 1950s-70s tract homes with single-car garages and deep lots. Many of those kitchens sit on concrete slab foundations, which means moving a sink or adding an island isn’t a simple crawlspace job. The northern 92336 and 92337 growth areas lean 1990s-2000s Mediterranean stucco, with bigger footprints but builder-grade cabinets that haven’t aged well under Fontana’s dry heat.
The climate is the other constant. Fontana summers push past 100 degrees regularly, and Santa Ana winds stir dust into every seam. Any kitchen we build here needs insulation that earns its keep, hood ventilation that pulls real CFM, and finishes that don’t warp when the air stays bone-dry for months. We also see a lot of homes where a garage was converted years ago without permits, and the “kitchen” in that conversion was never built to code. Those projects start with sorting out what exists, then building what should have been there in the first place.
Our Main Fontana Services
Fontana homeowners call us most about two projects: building or legalizing an ADU, and bringing a tired bathroom up to modern standard. Both draw on the same local knowledge of Fontana’s slab foundations, older tract layouts, and permit history.
ADU Builders in Fontana
Fontana’s wide lots and single-story housing stock make detached ADUs genuinely viable where tighter neighboring cities can’t fit them. But a huge share of Fontana ADU work starts as a legalization job: the older 92335 blocks are full of garages converted into living space years ago without permits. We sort the structure, bring it to code, and finish it properly, or clear the path for a new build when the existing conversion isn’t worth saving. ADU Builders in Fontana
Bathroom Remodeling in Fontana
Fontana bathrooms in the older tract homes are usually small, often original to the 1960s and 70s, and frequently carry the same unpermitted history as the garages. We rebuild them to modern plumbing and waterproofing standards, working with Fontana’s specific permit reality on slab floors where moving a drain line means cutting concrete.

Kitchen Remodeling in Fontana
Kitchen remodeling in Fontana usually means one of two things: restoring a 1950s-70s kitchen in the older 92335 tract homes, or replacing builder-grade cabinets and counters in a 1990s-2000s stucco home up north. Both jobs share Fontana’s heat: ventilation and materials that tolerate dry, dusty, 100-degree summers are not optional. Kitchen Remodeling is core work for our team, and we approach every Fontana kitchen with the same question: what does this room need to do for the next 30 years?
Cabinet Replacement
Signs you need it
Doors that sag, drawers that stick, or laminate peeling at the edges mean the cabinets have outlived their useful life.
What it costs in Fontana
Cabinet replacement in Fontana typically runs $12,000 to $28,000 depending on cabinet grade, linear footage, and whether we modify the layout or keep it as-is.
How we do it
We measure, order the right cabinet line, remove the old boxes cleanly, and install with leveling that accounts for Fontana’s slab-settled floors.
Countertop and Backsplash
Signs you need it
Cracked tile, scorched laminate, or grout that won’t stay clean signals a countertop that has failed.
What it costs in Fontana
New countertops and backsplash in Fontana typically land between $3,500 and $9,000 depending on material choice and surface area.
How we do it
We template, fabricate, and install quartz or solid surface with a backsplash that seals tight against Fontana’s dusty wind-driven air.

What Fontana 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
