ADU Company in Bloomington, CA
Kitchen remodeling in Bloomington is the single highest-value upgrade for mid-century ranches and older tract homes on the 92316 corridor, and the job almost always starts with the same question: how do you modernize a galley or closed-off kitchen without blowing out walls the slab was never designed to carry? We’ve handled dozens of these projects, and the answer is usually a phased plan that respects the original framing while delivering the open feel Bloomington homeowners actually want. If you’re weighing an ADU, a kitchen remodel, or both, call us at (855) 676-6807 for a free, line-item estimate.
Why Bloomington Homes Are Different
Bloomington is unincorporated San Bernardino County, not an incorporated city, which changes everything about how permits, plan review, and inspections actually happen. There is no municipal building counter here. Every ADU and every major kitchen remodel runs through County of San Bernardino Land Use Services in San Bernardino, and the timeline, document requirements, and plan-check feedback loop are county-driven, not city-driven. Homeowners regularly tell us they expected a quick city approval and instead found themselves inside a county system with additional septic, zoning, and record-check steps. On larger agricultural-legacy lots that were never formally subdivided, a kitchen addition or ADU-adjacent remodel can hinge on septic capacity and sewer feasibility before a single cabinet gets ordered.
The housing stock compounds this. Much of Bloomington is mid-century and older single-story tract and ranch homes with generous lots, plus a meaningful share of manufactured and mobile homes and a number of unpermitted additions and garages. That means kitchen work in Bloomington frequently begins with confirming what was actually permitted, not what a previous owner said was permitted. We’ve opened walls on Bloomington remodels and found electrical work that never saw a county inspector. Matching a new kitchen to older slab, framing, and utility conditions is the real job here, and it’s why generic kitchen pricing from an Irvine remodeler doesn’t translate to this ZIP code.
The climate adds another layer. Bloomington sits in the hot, dry, smoggy western San Bernardino Valley with intense summer heat and occasional Santa Ana wind events. Kitchen design here has to account for real cooling load, airflow through the house, and appliances that generate their own heat. A six-burner range in a poorly ventilated Bloomington galley is a different animal in August than it is in a coastal kitchen. We plan venting, insulation, and window shading as part of the remodel, not as an afterthought.
Our Main Bloomington Services
Bloomington homeowners call us about two things more than anything else: building an ADU on a larger lot, and remodeling the kitchen or bathroom in an older home. Both require the same unincorporated-county fluency and the same respect for mid-century framing.
ADU Builders in Bloomington
Detached ADUs on Bloomington’s bigger agricultural-legacy parcels are one of the clearest rental-income plays in the western San Bernardino Valley, but the county septic and zoning questions have to be answered first. We work with Cover, Dvele, and other leading prefab and modular manufacturers so you get engineered plans and a faster build, while we handle the county plan review, foundation, utilities, and interior finish. For the full picture on detached units, garage conversions, and JADUs in unincorporated territory, see ADU Builders in Bloomington.
Bathroom Remodeling in Bloomington
Older Bloomington homes often have one original bathroom with cast-iron drain lines and a layout that no longer works for a multi-generational household. We handle full bathroom remodels including the plumbing realities of older slabs, plus the finish work that makes an ADU or primary suite feel complete.

Kitchen Remodeling in Bloomington
Kitchen remodeling in Bloomington usually means taking a mid-century galley or closed-off ranch kitchen and opening it enough to breathe, without asking a 1960s slab and framing system to do things it was never built to do. The specific problems here are older electrical panels, unpermitted prior work, tight venting, and summer heat that punishes a poorly planned appliance layout. We plan every Bloomington kitchen around the existing structure first and the wish list second, because that’s the order that keeps the budget honest. If you’re considering a kitchen remodel, our Kitchen Remodeling team handles everything from demolition through the final cabinet adjustment.
Full Kitchen Renovation
Signs you need it
The layout no longer works for how your family cooks, you’re working around failing original cabinets, or you’ve put off a structural issue long enough that every repair would now happen inside a gutted space.
What it costs in Bloomington
Full kitchen renovations in Bloomington typically run $25,000 to $50,000 with mid-grade finishes, with county permit and plan-check fees adding to the total.
How we do it
We open walls to confirm framing and rough-in conditions, pull county permits through Land Use Services, replace electrical and plumbing as needed, then rebuild with new cabinetry, counters, flooring, and finishes.
Cabinet Refacing and Hardware Replacement
Signs you need it
Your cabinet boxes are structurally sound but the doors, faces, and pulls look every year of their age and the kitchen feels dated before you even start cooking.
What it costs in Bloomington
Cabinet refacing in Bloomington generally lands between $5,000 and $12,000 depending on door count and finish selection.
How we do it
We strip the existing faces, prep the boxes, install new doors and drawer fronts, replace hinges and slides, and finish with new hardware so the kitchen reads as new without a full tear-out.

Neighborhoods We Serve in Bloomington
We work across the entire 92316 corridor, from the older ranch parcels near the 10 Freeway to the larger agricultural-legacy lots on the county’s eastern edge. Bloomington’s streets are a mix of original tract homes, manufactured-home parcels, and bigger lots that predate modern subdivision rules. We know which blocks tend to have septic, which have original 100-amp panels, and which need pre-permit records research before design starts.
- The Rancho Verde area
- Parcels along Cedar and Locust Avenues
- The Valley Boulevard corridor
- Neighborhoods south of the 10 Freeway
- Rural-legacy lots east of Alder Avenue
We’re typically in Bloomington within one to three business days for an estimate visit, depending on how many projects are already scheduled on the corridor.

— Katie Parker"Every invoice was tied to a completed milestone, so I always knew what I was paying for."
