ADU Company in Highgrove, CA
Kitchen remodeling in Highgrove means working with mid-century ranch homes on oversized lots, where sensible expansion usually beats a teardown. We’re Home Base ADU Builders, and we’ve handled kitchens, bathrooms, and ADUs across Riverside County’s unincorporated pockets since 2016. If your Highgrove kitchen feels stuck in 1972 and summer heat makes it worse, call (866) 403-9834 for a free estimate. We’ll tell you what’s realistic on your lot before any money changes hands.
Why Highgrove Homes Are Different
Highgrove sits unincorporated between Riverside and Moreno Valley, so ADU projects here fall under Riverside County’s zoning and permitting rather than a city building department. That means a different plan-check path, different setback standards, and a county-level review timeline that contractors working in Riverside or Moreno Valley proper don’t deal with. We know the county’s reviewers, their red flags, and how to package plans so they clear with fewer commentary rounds.
The housing stock is older and semi-rural: mid-century ranch homes and custom houses on larger lots, many with detached garages, workshops, and outbuildings. Garage conversions and detached ADUs are the natural fit here, not tight infill construction. The catch is that many Highgrove lots sit on private wells and septic systems. A new unit can trigger percolation tests, septic capacity review, or water-supply verification before the county signs off – a step that derails more Highgrove ADU projects than design or budget does. We flag that upfront, before you spend money on plans.
Our Main Highgrove Services
Highgrove homeowners call us most about two things: adding a livable ADU to their oversized lot, and fixing bathrooms that have not been touched since the Nixon administration. Here’s what each involves here.
ADU Builders in Highgrove
Highgrove’s big lots and existing outbuildings create real options: convert a detached garage, build a new unit in the back corner, or drop a prefab from Abodu, Cover, or Plant Prefab onto a prepared pad. The county’s well-and-septic review shapes the path more than any design preference. We’ve helped Highgrove homeowners navigate percolation tests and septic capacity questions, then managed the build from foundation to final inspection. ADU Builders in Highgrove covers the full process, including what happens when your septic system sets the ceiling on unit size.
Bathroom Remodeling in Highgrove
Older Highgrove bathrooms often hide cast-iron drain lines and questionable 1960s waterproofing. The dry heat here also means ventilation matters more than people expect: a poorly vented bath turns into a mold factory even with low humidity outside. We open walls, assess what’s actually there, and rebuild with modern waterproofing systems and code-compliant venting. Bathroom Remodeling in Highgrove walks through the typical scope, timeline, and what a mid-century bathroom usually needs.

Kitchen Remodeling in Highgrove
Highgrove kitchens in mid-century ranch homes tend to be small, closed off, and fighting the Inland Empire heat with tired ventilation. A kitchen remodel here is usually about opening the floor plan toward the backyard, upgrading to serious range-hood airflow, and getting appliances that won’t strain across a 110-degree summer. The large Highgrove lots mean you can often push outward without touching a setback – when the county’s plan-check process cooperates. Our Kitchen Remodeling work covers design through final inspection, with James Hardie exteriors on any expansion so the addition matches the durability the rest of the house now needs.
Full Gut Renovation
Signs you need it
Your Highgrove kitchen has original cabinets that shimmy when you open them, a layout that strands the cook behind a peninsula, or a floor plan that makes the whole room useless during family gatherings.
What it costs in Highgrove
A full-gut Highgrove kitchen remodel typically lands between $38,000 and $80,000, depending on footprint, structural changes, and finishes.
How we do it
We strip the room to framing, relocate or reroute plumbing and electrical, then rebuild with new drywall, custom or semi-custom cabinets, stone counters, and a ventilation system sized for Highgrove’s hot-weather cooking.
Cabinet Refacing and Reconfiguration
Signs you need it
Your cabinets are structurally fine but dated, or the existing layout wastes a corner of the Highgrove kitchen that should be working harder.
What it costs in Highgrove
Cabinet work in Highgrove – refacing or reconfiguring – generally runs $8,000 to $25,000 depending on how much of the box structure we reuse.
How we do it
We remove doors and drawer faces, reskin the boxes, replace hardware, and build new cabinet runs where an awkward corner has been sitting empty.

What Highgrove Customers Say
"Knew the local setback and parking rules cold, which saved us from designing something that would never have been approved."
— Priya Mehta"Sound insulation between the unit and the main house is better than I expected. You genuinely cannot hear the tenant."
— Luis Garcia"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."
— Robert Hayes
