ADU Company in Loma Linda, CA
Kitchen remodeling in Loma Linda usually means reworking a 1950s or 60s ranch kitchen inside a home that was built for a different era of family life, often while planning a garage conversion or attached ADU on the same lot. Sunburst ADU Builders handles the full interior scope, from the ADU structure itself to the kitchen and bath inside it, so you’re not coordinating three separate contractors on one Loma Linda property. We’ve served Loma Linda homeowners since 2018. Call (855) 676-6807 to talk through your project.
Why Loma Linda Homes Are Different
Loma Linda’s housing stock north of the 10, around the university and medical center, is packed with mid-century single-story ranch homes. Most were built between the 1950s and 1970s, and many still have the original detached two-car garages and rear alleys that make ADU conversions cleaner than you’d expect. But those same homes usually have galley kitchens that were never designed for two cooks, a multigenerational household, or the kind of daily use an ADU tenant creates.
The climate adds another layer. Loma Linda sits east of the Santa Ana wind corridor. Summers run triple digits for weeks, and the canyon-mouth winds toward San Timoteo Canyon raise dust and push fire risk upward. Any kitchen or ADU project out here has to account for real ventilation, reflective materials, and a cooling strategy that works during an August afternoon, not just a coastal breeze. Homes on the hillside tracts toward the canyon often need stepped foundations and retaining work, while the flats convert more predictably.
There’s also a scheduling reality most neighboring cities don’t share. A significant portion of Loma Linda homeowners keep Saturday as Sabbath, so noisy phases, inspections, and deliveries get sequenced around a Friday-afternoon shutdown. It’s a small thing, but it changes how a project calendar gets built.
Our Main Loma Linda Services
Most Loma Linda homeowners come to us for one of two things: a new ADU on an existing lot, or a bathroom tied to that ADU or to the main house. Both are covered under one contract.
ADU Builders in Loma Linda
Loma Linda is nearly built out. Detached new construction on empty single-family lots is rare inside 92350 and 92354, so most ADU work here is garage conversions and attached additions on lots that already have a house. We’re manufacturer-agnostic, which means we can compare a Dvele panelized build, a Boxabl foldable, or a traditional stick-built addition against your lot, your setback, and your budget. The full detail on how we approach Loma Linda ADUs is on the ADU Builders in Loma Linda page.
Bathroom Remodeling in Loma Linda
Bathrooms in Loma Linda’s mid-century ranches tend to be compact, with original cast-iron plumbing that’s hit the end of its service life. When the job is inside a new ADU, we run the bathroom scope as part of the same build. When it’s in the primary house, we treat it as a full remodel: waterproofing, ventilation rated for Inland Empire heat, and fixtures sized for the actual room. See Bathroom Remodeling in Loma Linda for the full scope and approach.

Kitchen Remodeling in Loma Linda
Kitchen Remodeling in Loma Linda is rarely a cosmetic refresh. The original kitchens in these 1950s to 70s ranch homes were built small, with one counter run, low cabinet count, and no real ventilation. In a city where multigenerational Adventist households are common, plus physicians and nurses renting ADUs near Loma Linda University Medical Center, kitchens get used harder than the original builders ever planned for. Heat is the other constant: a kitchen without a proper exhaust and cooling strategy turns a triple-digit August afternoon into a room nobody wants to cook in. We plan around both.
Full Kitchen Gut and Rebuild
Signs you need it
Your cabinets are original to the home, the layout puts the range against a wall with no landing space, or water damage has worked its way under the sink base.
What it costs in Loma Linda
A full kitchen gut and rebuild in Loma Linda typically runs $45,000 to $70,000 depending on cabinet count, appliance level, and whether the wall between kitchen and living space comes out.
How we do it
We demo to studs, relocate or upgrade plumbing and electrical for the new layout, install cabinets and counters, then handle flooring, lighting, ventilation, and finish trim as one scope.
Kitchen Upgrade With New Cabinets and Counters
Signs you need it
The cabinet boxes are square and the layout works, but the doors are delaminating, the counters are cracked laminate or old tile, and storage is fighting you every day.
What it costs in Loma Linda
A cabinet-and-counter upgrade in Loma Linda generally costs $15,000 to $30,000, with the final number driven by linear feet of cabinetry and countertop material choice.
How we do it
We remove the old doors, counters, and hardware, install new cabinet faces or full boxes where needed, set the new counters, and rework the sink and faucet so the kitchen is usable the same week.

What Loma Linda Customers Say
"Detached unit in the back yard. Utilities trenched, separate meter, and it passed final on the first inspection."
— Hector Torres"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."
— Jodi Reed"He was honest that our lot had a slope problem that would add real cost, before we signed anything."
— Katie Parker
