ADU Company in Pomona, CA
Kitchen remodeling in Pomona usually means working inside a 1950s or 1960s ranch where the original layout is still intact: a closed-off galley, one narrow doorway, and electrical that was never designed for modern appliances. We handle that reality every week. Whether you’re refreshing a rental near Cal Poly or gutting a mid-century bungalow west of Garey Avenue, the job starts with the bones of an older Pomona home. Call (833) 620-3521 to talk through what your kitchen can become.
Why Pomona Homes Are Different
Pomona’s housing stock runs heavily toward post-WWII single-story tract homes and pre-1970s bungalows, many with detached garages at the rear of deep lots. That matters for any remodeling project because those homes share a set of predictable conditions: galvanized supply lines that have corroded from the inside, electrical panels rated at 60 or 100 amps, and slabs that have shifted over decades of hot, dry summers. A kitchen remodel here is rarely a cabinet-and-countertop swap. It’s a plumbing re-route, a panel assessment, and often a subfloor repair before tile ever goes down.
The climate shapes material choices too. Pomona’s eastern San Gabriel Valley location means summer temperatures routinely push into the 90s and stay there for weeks. Kitchens need ventilation that actually moves hot air out, and flooring needs to handle expansion and contraction from dry heat. Winter storms are occasional but can arrive hard, so exterior-facing kitchen walls on older homes sometimes need flashing and drainage corrections while the walls are open. We plan for all of that during the design phase so you don’t discover it mid-project.
Our Main Pomona Services
Most Pomona homeowners call us about one of two things: adding an ADU to a deep lot with alley access, or bringing an outdated bathroom up to modern standards in an older home. Here’s what each involves locally.
ADU Builders in Pomona
Pomona’s large, deep lots behind mid-century single-story homes make detached ADUs and garage conversions especially practical here. Many properties already have rear alley access, which simplifies equipment delivery and keeps the front yard untouched during construction. But the older infrastructure means we frequently handle panel upgrades, sewer lateral replacements, and root intrusion from mature trees before framing begins. See ADU Builders in Pomona for the full local picture.
Bathroom Remodeling in Pomona
Bathrooms in Pomona’s older homes are typically small, often windowless, and built on slabs that have settled over the decades. Galvanized drain lines and outdated vent stacks are common. We rebuild these spaces with modern waterproofing, proper ventilation, and layouts that work in tight footprints. Find local specifics at Bathroom Remodeling in Pomona.

Kitchen Remodeling in Pomona
Kitchen remodeling in Pomona typically runs $25,000 to $60,000 for a full gut-and-rebuild, with smaller refreshes starting around $15,000. Those numbers reflect the reality of working in homes built between the 1920s and 1970s, where plumbing, wiring, and slab conditions often need correction before finish work begins. We’re an ADU-first contractor, which means we bring the same fixation on utility routing, wall assembly, and long-term durability to every Kitchen Remodeling we take on in Pomona.
Galley Kitchen Opening
Signs you need it
Your Pomona kitchen is a narrow galley with one entry point, the refrigerator blocks the only walkway, and two people cannot work in the space at the same time.
What it costs in Pomona
In Pomona, removing a non-load-bearing wall between a galley kitchen and dining room, including beam work and floor patching, typically costs $8,000 to $18,000.
How we do it
We assess the wall for load-bearing status, reroute any plumbing or electrical in the wall cavity, install a beam or flush header if needed, patch the slab and ceiling, then unify the flooring.
Full Gut Renovation
Signs you need it
The cabinets are delaminating, the layout doesn’t work for how you cook, and you can feel soft spots in the floor near the sink and dishwasher.
What it costs in Pomona
Full kitchen gut renovations in Pomona range from $30,000 to $60,000 depending on cabinet quality, countertop material, and how much plumbing and electrical work the old house demands.
How we do it
We strip the room to studs, replace or upgrade supply and drain lines, rewire to current code, level and repair the subfloor, then rebuild with new cabinets, counters, lighting, and ventilation.
What Kitchen Remodeling Costs in Pomona
| Item | Typical range in Pomona |
|---|---|
| Galley kitchen opening | $8,000 – $18,000 |
| Full gut renovation | $30,000 – $60,000 |
| Cabinet refacing | $6,000 – $12,000 |
How long does a kitchen remodel take in Pomona?
A full Pomona kitchen remodel runs four to eight weeks, with the longer end common when we’re replacing galvanized plumbing, upgrading the panel, or repairing slab damage before finish work starts. Call (833) 620-3521 for a schedule based on your home’s condition.
Will my Pomona kitchen remodel require a panel upgrade?
Homes built before the 1980s in Pomona often have 60- or 100-amp panels, and adding modern appliances, lighting, and ventilation frequently pushes past that capacity. We’ll confirm during the estimate, and if an upgrade is needed, it’s part of one contract, not a surprise change order.
Brands We Service in Pomona
In Pomona, we have hands-on familiarity with prefab ADU brands including our brands Abodu, Dvele, and Mighty Buildings. Parts and finish materials are sourced through supplier networks that keep most Pomona projects moving without long lead-time delays.

FAQs About ADU Company in Pomona
We schedule Pomona estimates within three to five business days for most projects. If you’re planning an ADU with a tight timeline, call (833) 620-3521 and we’ll work with your schedule to get the assessment done sooner when possible.
Most Pomona neighborhoods are not HOA-controlled, which simplifies ADU permitting compared to newer Inland Empire subdivisions. If your property does fall under an HOA, California state law still allows ADUs, but you’ll need to submit plans through the association’s architectural review. We’ll help you navigate that process.
Yes. We prepare the plans, submit to the city of Pomona, and manage the permit process through final inspection. Older Pomona homes often trigger additional review for electrical, sewer, or structural items, and we handle those communications directly so you’re not chasing the building department yourself.
