ADU Company in Highgrove, CA
Kitchen remodeling in Highgrove usually means reworking a 1940s-to-1970s ranch or bungalow kitchen that was built for a different era, often on an oversized lot with room to expand. Most of the homes here are single-story with original layouts, small galley or closed-off kitchens, and electrical panels that predate modern appliance loads. Because Highgrove sits in Riverside County’s hot inland corridor, we also plan remodels around ventilation, window placement, and cooling so the kitchen does not become the hottest room in the house. If you’re weighing an ADU alongside a kitchen upgrade, we can bundle both under one contract. Call (844) 386-2399 for a free estimate.
Why Highgrove Homes Are Different
Highgrove is an unincorporated Riverside County island tucked between Riverside and Grand Terrace, and that single fact changes how every project runs. Permits go through County of Riverside Building & Safety, not a city planning counter, and the 92313 ZIP sometimes confuses homeowners into contacting the wrong jurisdiction. The lots themselves are another difference. Much of Highgrove was platted as semi-rural and equestrian parcels in the early 20th century, so many properties have deep rear yards and old outbuildings that urban lots in Riverside simply do not have. That extra depth makes detached ADUs unusually practical here, and it also gives kitchen remodels room to push outward with an addition rather than squeezing a new island into a cramped footprint.
The housing stock is early-to-mid century ranch, bungalow, and small farmhouse. Homes from that period have real character, but their kitchens were designed around a single cook, no dishwasher, and sometimes a gas range fed by an aging line. We routinely find knob-and-tube remnants, undersized breaker capacity, and floor joists that need reinforcement before new cabinetry or stone counters go in. The climate adds another layer: summer highs regularly exceed 100°F, with intense west-afternoon sun hitting kitchens on the west side of the house. Good ventilation, shaded glazing, and HVAC that actually reaches the kitchen matter more here than most homeowners expect.
Our Main Highgrove Services
Two services dominate the calls we get from Highgrove homeowners: full ADU builds on those generous county lots, and bathroom remodels in homes where the original 1950s or 1960s plumbing is finally giving out.
ADU Builders in Highgrove
Highgrove’s oversized, semi-rural parcels are the reason ADUs work so well here. Where a Riverside lot might force you into a garage conversion, many Highgrove properties have room for a detached unit in the rear yard beside an old workshop or outbuilding. We build with Abodu, Cover, Dvele, and other prefab platforms, plus conventional site-built construction when the site calls for it. County setback and septic review are the big variables, and we handle that paperwork end to end.

Bathroom Remodeling in Highgrove
Most Highgrove bathrooms are original to the house, which means cast-iron drain lines, small showers, and single-sink vanities in homes that now house more people than they were built for. We handle full gut remodels, water-damage repair, and layout changes that make a 5-by-8 bath feel twice its size. Because these older homes sit on county land, any plumbing reroute needs to clear County of Riverside Building & Safety, and we pull those permits as part of the job.

Kitchen Remodeling in Highgrove
Kitchen remodeling in Highgrove is less about chasing a magazine look and more about fixing what the original build never anticipated: modern appliance loads, multiple cooks, and summer heat that turns a west-facing kitchen into an oven by 4 p.m. Because most homes here are mid-century ranch or bungalow styles on oversized lots, we often have room to expand the footprint outward rather than fighting a cramped interior. That is the real advantage of remodeling in Highgrove, and it changes the math on what a project can include. Our Kitchen Remodeling process covers design, permits through the county, and construction under one team.
Full Kitchen Remodel
Signs you need it
The layout no longer works for how your household actually cooks, or the cabinets, floor, and countertops are all at the end of their service life.
What it costs in Highgrove
Full kitchen remodels in Highgrove typically run $35,000 to $75,000 depending on cabinet grade, countertop material, and how much plumbing or electrical you move.
How we do it
We demo to the studs, update plumbing and electrical to current county code, install new cabinets, counters, flooring, lighting, and appliances, then finish with paint and trim.
Kitchen Cabinet Refacing
Signs you need it
Your cabinet boxes are structurally sound but the doors, drawer fronts, and finish look worn or dated.
What it costs in Highgrove
Cabinet refacing in Highgrove generally falls between $7,000 and $14,000, a fraction of full replacement when the boxes are still solid.
How we do it
We remove existing doors and drawer fronts, apply new veneer or paint to the boxes, install new doors, fronts, and hardware, and rehang everything with soft-close hinges.
Countertop Replacement
Signs you need it
The laminate is peeling, tile grout is cracking and staining, or you want a stone surface that can take daily wear.
What it costs in Highgrove
Countertop replacement in Highgrove typically runs $3,000 to $8,000 depending on square footage and material, from quartz to butcher block.
How we do it
We template the existing layout, fabricate the new tops off-site, remove the old surface, and install the new counters with sink and faucet reconnection.

What Highgrove Customers Say
"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 Delgado"Knew the local setback and parking rules cold, which saved us from designing something that would never have been approved."
— Ebony Grant"Detached unit in the back yard. Utilities trenched, separate meter, and it passed final on the first inspection."
— Sarah Kowalski
