ADU Company in Home Gardens, CA
Kitchen remodeling in Home Gardens means working with homes built across several decades, on lots that are often bigger than you’d find in nearby Corona or Eastvale. We’re Home Base ADU Builders, and we’ve served Home Gardens since 2016. Most kitchens we see here were built in the 1970s and 1980s, before open floor plans and island seating became standard. That means our kitchen work in Home Gardens usually starts with a structural conversation: which walls can come down, how to reroute plumbing in a slab foundation, and how to cool a cooking space where summer thermometers climb past 100°F. Call us at (866) 403-9834 to talk through what your Home Gardens kitchen could become.
Why Home Gardens Homes Are Different
Home Gardens sits unincorporated in Riverside County, which changes how every permit gets pulled. If your neighbor across the county line in Corona wants a kitchen addition, they file with the city. You file with Riverside County’s building and safety department, and the review timeline runs on the county’s schedule, not a local city hall’s. We’ve managed enough county permits to know where the friction points are, and we sequence the work so county inspections don’t stall your job.
The housing stock here skews mid-century and later, on unusually generous parcels. Many lots have room to expand a kitchen outward or reconfigure the whole living zone without touching the property line. But those same older homes often carry quirks: slab foundations that make moving a sink expensive, informally enclosed patios that were never permitted, and electrical panels that predate modern appliance loads. When we remodel a kitchen in Home Gardens, we’re often correcting decades of piecemeal changes at the same time we’re installing new cabinetry and countertops.
The climate shapes material choices more than homeowners expect. Inland heat means we recommend cabinet finishes that resist fading, venting that actually moves hot air outside, and insulation in exterior walls that were sometimes built with little of it. Dry Santa Ana winds push dust into every open wall cavity, so we seal and protect as we demo. These aren’t generic concerns, they’re the daily reality of building in Home Gardens.
Our Main Home Gardens Services
Home Gardens homeowners call us most often about two projects: building a detached ADU on their large lot, and remodeling a bathroom in a house that’s showing its age. Here’s what each involves here specifically.
ADU Builders in Home Gardens
An accessory dwelling unit in Home Gardens runs through Riverside County permitting, and the big-lot character of this community means detached units are usually feasible. We work across multiple prefab manufacturers and custom construction, so your ADU can be a Tuff Shed conversion for budget-conscious rental income or a Plant Prefab unit with higher-end finishes. The county’s rules on setbacks, utility connections, and fire hardening in this dry Inland climate all shape the design. Read our full breakdown on the ADU Builders in Home Gardens page.
Bathroom Remodeling in Home Gardens
Bathrooms in Home Gardens homes often share the same mid-century bones as the kitchens: original cast iron plumbing, small footprints, and ventilation that was never adequate for Inland heat. We remodel bathrooms with moisture-resistant materials, proper exhaust, and layouts that work for the way households actually live. If you’re in our bathroom service area, the Bathroom Remodeling in Home Gardens page covers what we handle.

Kitchen Remodeling in Home Gardens
Kitchen remodeling in Home Gardens usually means transforming a closed-off 1980s galley into an open kitchen that connects to the dining and living space. The homes here were built when kitchens were service rooms, not gathering rooms, and the walls reflect that. Our kitchen work in Home Gardens also has to solve for Inland heat: underpowered range hoods, single-pane windows, and lack of cross-ventilation make these kitchens uncomfortable in August. We handle everything from cabinet replacement to full structural reconfiguration, and we’re one contractor from foundation to finished kitchen, which matters when the county permit requires engineering. You can see the full scope of our kitchen capability on the Kitchen Remodeling page.
Cabinet Replacement and Layout Changes
Signs you need it
Cabinet boxes are delaminating, drawer slides are failing, or the current layout forces you to walk across the kitchen for every step of meal prep.
What it costs in Home Gardens
A cabinet swap with new counters and a sink typically runs $12,000 to $28,000 in Home Gardens depending on cabinet line and counter material.
How we do it
We measure, order, demo the old boxes, install new cabinets and counters, reconnect plumbing, and finish with trim and hardware in about two to three weeks.
Load-Bearing Wall Removal and Island Installation
Signs you need it
Your kitchen is walled off from the living space, and removing the dividing wall would create the open plan this climate makes desirable.
What it costs in Home Gardens
Removing a load-bearing wall and installing an island with electrical runs from $18,000 to $40,000 in Home Gardens once engineering and county permitting are included.
How we do it
We bring in a structural engineer, pull the Riverside County permit, install a beam, reframe, run electrical and plumbing, and build the island in place.
Full Kitchen Renovation
Signs you need it
The kitchen needs new everything: layout, floors, cabinets, appliances, lighting, and ventilation, often because the space has been patched together for 40 years.
What it costs in Home Gardens
A full kitchen renovation in Home Gardens runs $35,000 to $75,000, with the higher end including custom cabinetry, stone counters, and structural changes.
How we do it
We demo to studs, address framing and electrical, run new plumbing and venting, install cabinets and counters, tile, paint, and finish with fixtures and appliances.

What Home Gardens Customers Say
"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"Detached unit in the back yard. Utilities trenched, separate meter, and it passed final on the first inspection."
— Colleen Pruitt"Knew the local setback and parking rules cold, which saved us from designing something that would never have been approved."
— Priya Mehta
