ADU Company in Banning, CA
Kitchen remodeling in Banning means working with homes that were mostly built between the 1940s and 1970s, when floor plans were smaller, electrical services were lighter, and nobody imagined a 36-inch commercial range in a Banning kitchen. We’re Sunburst ADU Builders, and we’ve served Banning since 2018. We build ADUs and we remodel the kitchens inside them, so when you’re planning a rear-yard unit or converting a garage, the kitchen doesn’t become a separate headache with a separate contractor. Call (855) 676-6807 for a free estimate on either scope, or both.
Why Banning Homes Are Different
Banning sits in the San Gorgonio Pass, which is not a mild coastal microclimate. Summer days regularly cross 100 degrees, and the prevailing wind through the pass is strong enough that Banning is a documented wind-energy corridor. Any remodeling work here has to account for thermal expansion and contraction on materials, wind-driven dust intrusion around older window and door openings, and HVAC sizing that anticipates real temperature swings rather than Mediterranean assumptions.
The housing stock compounds the challenge. Much of Banning’s single-family inventory is mid-century or earlier, which means smaller electrical panels, aging supply lines, and framing that was never designed for today’s open-concept layouts. We regularly open a Banning kitchen wall and find galvanized plumbing that should have been replaced in the 1980s, or a 100-amp panel that’s already at capacity before adding a single new appliance. Detached garages are common on these lots, which is good news for ADU conversions but means longer utility runs and trenching through compacted desert soil.
None of this is a reason to avoid remodeling. It’s a reason to price the job honestly the first time, because Banning homes rarely hide surprises. They reveal them in the first day of demolition, and a good estimate plans for that.
Our Main Banning Services
Banning homeowners call us about two things more than anything else: adding an ADU to a lot that already has a main house on it, and remodeling bathrooms in homes where the original fixtures have outlived their era by three decades.
ADU Builders in Banning
The question we hear most often in Banning is whether a rear-yard ADU or a garage conversion makes more sense on a given lot. The answer depends on the lot’s setback lines, the age of the detached structure, and how the wind moves across the property. The same prevailing wind that makes the Pass a renewable-energy corridor also stresses lightweight roof assemblies on cheaply built ADUs, so we over-build tie-downs and shear connections on every detached unit we place in Banning. We also work across prefab, modular, and custom stick-built platforms, which means the right answer isn’t dictated by the one brand we happen to carry. See how we approach ADUs on our dedicated ADU Builders in Banning page.
Bathroom Remodeling in Banning
Bathrooms in Banning’s older homes are often small enough that a standard 60-inch tub consumed most of the floor plan, leaving no room for storage or a separate shower. That’s workable in 1962 but not in a house where three people are getting ready in the morning. We handle full bathroom remodels including the plumbing corrections that come with older Banning supply lines, which often have hard-water scaling from decades of Pass water. If you’re also planning an ADU, we can sequence the bathroom work so the new unit’s plumbing is installed while the main house bathroom is down. Learn more on our Bathroom Remodeling in Banning page.

Kitchen Remodeling in Banning
Kitchen remodeling in Banning is usually less about cosmetic upgrades and more about correcting the functional limits of a mid-century floor plan. We’re talking about kitchens where the refrigerator shares a circuit with the microwave, the range hood vents into the attic instead of outside, and the original cabinetry was built when a standard dinner plate was nine inches wide. The pass’s heat makes a poorly ventilated kitchen genuinely unpleasant in summer, which is why we pay attention to exhaust routing, window placement, and insulation far more than a coastal contractor would need to. When a Banning homeowner asks us to open up a wall between the kitchen and dining room, we’re also checking whether that wall is load-bearing, whether the wall has supply plumbing running through it, and whether the panel can handle the additional load once the new layout is done.

Full Kitchen Renovation
Signs you need it
If your Banning kitchen still has its original 1950s or 1960s cabinets, a single wall outlet serving the whole counter, and a layout that puts the refrigerator fifteen feet from the sink, the kitchen is working against you every day.
What it costs in Banning
A full kitchen renovation in Banning typically runs $55,000 to $110,000, with the final number driven by appliance selection, whether the floor plan changes, and how much of the existing plumbing and electrical can be salvaged.
How we do it
We start with a site walk to map the existing electrical and plumbing, confirm what the local Banning permitting office will require, then order cabinetry and appliances so lead times don’t stall the job, and complete demolition, rough-in, drywall, flooring, cabinet installation, counters, backsplash, and final trim in sequence with scheduled inspections.
Kitchen Cabinet Refacing and New Countertops
Signs you need it
If your cabinet boxes are solid but the doors are delaminating, warped from decades of Pass heat cycles, or just the wrong style, refacing gives you a new kitchen without moving a single wall.
What it costs in Banning
Cabinet refacing in Banning generally costs $8,500 to $18,000, and new countertops run $3,000 to $8,000 depending on the material and the linear footage involved.
How we do it
We pull the existing doors and drawer fronts, apply new veneer or paint to the boxes, install new doors and hardware, and then template, fabricate, and set the new countertops with seams positioned to minimize visibility.
What Kitchen Remodeling Costs in Banning
| Item | Typical range in Banning |
|---|---|
| Full kitchen renovation (mid-range) | $55,000 – $110,000 |
| Cabinet refacing | $8,500 – $18,000 |
| New countertops | $3,000 – $8,000 |
Two things push kitchen prices up in Banning more than anything else. The first is electrical service: many of these older homes have panels that were sized when a kitchen needed four circuits, not twelve. The second is the condition of the plumbing once the walls are open, which we can’t know until demolition starts. Call (855) 676-6807 for an exact quote, and we’ll give you a written line-item estimate before any work begins.
Will the price change once work starts?
No. We price from a written line-item scope after a site walk, and we don’t issue change orders unless you ask us to expand the scope. If demolition reveals a problem we didn’t anticipate, we stop and talk to you before spending a dollar more.
How long does a kitchen remodel in Banning take?
Most full Banning kitchen renovations run five to nine weeks. Permit timing with the city and cabinet lead times are the two variables that move the schedule most, so we order everything with the longest lead time first. Call (855) 676-6807 for a timeline on your specific scope.
Brands We Service in Banning
We work with Mighty Buildings, Boxabl, and Plant Prefab, among others, which means we’re not tied to one factory’s timeline or one platform’s engineering limits. We stock the common trim, flashing, and connection hardware for these systems locally, so replacement parts during a Banning build don’t require a two-week freight wait. Visit our brands for the full picture of what we build with.

What pushes a Banning price up is typically the site, not the scope. A detached garage conversion at the back of a deep Pass lot needs a longer trench for electrical and water, and trenching through that compacted soil runs slower than it does on the coast. We give every Banning homeowner a fixed, written line-item price before we start, and we hold it.

What Banning Customers Say
"Every invoice was tied to a completed milestone, so I always knew what I was paying for."
— Henry Kim"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
