ADU Company in Highgrove, CA
Kitchen remodeling in Highgrove usually means working inside a home built between the 1950s and 1980s, where the original layout was designed for a different era. Most of these kitchens sit on generous lots, but inside they’re tight, dark, and fighting against Inland Empire heat that makes an unventilated cooking space unbearable by July. Sunstone ADU Builders handles kitchen remodels in Highgrove with the same discipline we bring to ADU construction: fixed pricing, in-house crews, and a finished product that matches how the house gets used. Call (855) 949-1913 for a free estimate.
Why Highgrove Homes Are Different
Highgrove is unincorporated Riverside County, which changes nearly every part of a kitchen remodel. There’s no city planning counter to visit. Permits go through Riverside County, and many properties rely on private wells and septic systems, so a project that starts as a kitchen remodel can quickly surface water-pressure or drainage questions that need answers before the county signs off. We’re familiar with that process and plan for it from the first site visit.
The housing stock is mostly older single-family homes with ranch-style footprints, and kitchens from that era share the same problems: a single oven cut into a wall, one narrow run of cabinets, fluorescent soffits boxing in the ceiling, and no exhaust beyond a recirculating hood. The lots are large, which means homeowners often ask us to capture side-yard space or bump out a rear wall while we’re already in there. Intense summer heat and Santa Ana winds make insulation and air sealing a real priority in Highgrove, not an upsell. We size ventilation to handle a 105-degree August afternoon and specify finishes that hold up to dry, hot conditions without warping.
Because the county reviews work that many cities push through over the counter, timelines in Highgrove can stretch an extra week or two. We tell homeowners that up front and build it into the schedule so nobody is surprised mid-project.
Our Main Highgrove Services
Most Highgrove homeowners call us about one of two things: adding an ADU to a large lot, or remodeling a bathroom that has outlived its plumbing. Both jobs move through the same county process, and both benefit from working with one contractor who understands Highgrove’s specific constraints.
ADU Builders in Highgrove
Highgrove is one of the few Inland Empire pockets where detached ADUs still pencil out quickly. Lots are wide, setbacks are forgiving, and the county’s pre-application meeting process is straightforward once you know what to bring. We handle the full build, from water and sewer capacity checks through the foundation, shell, and move-in finishes. For prefab projects, we’re authorized to build and install units from Abodu, Cover, Dvele, Mighty Buildings, Boxabl, and Plant Prefab, and we match the brand to your site rather than pushing one option. See ADU Builders in Highgrove for the full picture.
Bathroom Remodeling in Highgrove
Bathrooms in 1960s and 1970s Highgrove homes are usually original: cast iron tubs, tile counters, and shower valves that drip through the wall. We rebuild them to current county code, which often means replacing the shower valve, adding a dedicated vent fan, and waterproofing to modern standards. Since we also finish ADU interiors, the same crew that builds a bathroom in a new backyard unit can remodel the one in your main house. That’s the advantage of one contractor who does both. Details are on our Bathroom Remodeling in Highgrove page.

Kitchen Remodeling in Highgrove
Kitchen remodeling in Highgrove means opening up a 1950s-to-1980s floor plan that was never designed for how families cook today. The homes here have generous lots and ranch-style layouts, which gives us options: we often pull the kitchen back toward the rear yard, add a window wall, or capture dead space from an awkward dining room. The Inland Empire heat matters too. A Highgrove kitchen needs real exhaust, not a recirculating hood, and insulation that keeps the room bearable when it’s 105 outside. As a company that specializes in ADUs and companion remodels, we bring the same fixed-price, in-house discipline to kitchen work that homeowners expect on a five-figure investment. Our full service line is on the Kitchen Remodeling hub page.

What Highgrove Customers Say
"The kitchenette layout he suggested made better use of the space than the one on our original sketch."
— Beatriz Garcia"Detached unit in the back yard. Utilities trenched, separate meter, and it passed final on the first inspection."
— Reggie Ellison"Knew the local setback and parking rules cold, which saved us from designing something that would never have been approved."
— Doug Padgett
