ADU Company in Crestline, CA
Kitchen remodeling in Crestline means working with mid-century mountain cabins on sloped lots, where standard flatland layouts rarely transfer. We’re Sunstone ADU Builders, an ADU specialist serving Crestline since 2011, and we handle the full kitchen scope inside your ADU or primary home, from layout through cabinetry, counters, and finish work. Call (855) 949-1913 for a free estimate.
Why Crestline Homes Are Different
Crestline sits between roughly 4,000 and 5,000 feet in the San Bernardino Mountains, and the housing stock shows it. Most homes here are mid-century mountain cabins and single-story builds from the 1940s through the 1970s, often set on pier-and-beam or post-and-pier foundations that follow the slope rather than fighting it. That changes everything about a kitchen remodel. Floors aren’t always level. Plumbing runs through crawl spaces that freeze in winter. Walls in older cabins often hide knob-and-tube wiring or undersized circuits that can’t support modern appliances. We plan for all of it before the first cabinet gets ordered.
Snow load matters here, and so does pine debris. Roofs over kitchens carry real weight in a Crestline winter, and freeze-thaw cycles work on every exterior penetration. A vent hood or plumbing chase that works fine in Redlands needs extra detailing at this elevation. We specify freeze-protected supply lines and route ducting so it won’t sweat or ice up when temperatures drop. These aren’t optional upgrades in Crestline; they’re what keeps a kitchen functional through January.
Our Main Crestline Services
Crestline homeowners most often call us about two things: building an ADU on a mountain lot, and remodeling a bathroom inside an aging cabin. Here’s what each involves up here.
ADU Builders in Crestline
Building an ADU in Crestline means clearing county zoning, wildland-urban interface fire review, and often a fire-access check on your driveway before plans are approved. We handle that full process in-house, from feasibility and design through construction and interior finishing. Whether you’re adding a rental unit or housing family, we’ll recommend prefab or traditional construction based on your actual site, and we finish the kitchen and bath ourselves so the unit is move-in ready. ADU Builders in Crestline covers the full scope, timelines, and what to expect during county review.
Bathroom Remodeling in Crestline
Bathrooms in Crestline cabins are often original to the home, with cast-iron plumbing, tight footprints, and no exhaust ventilation. That combination leads to moisture problems in cold weather, and freeze-thaw cycles punish any pipe run along an exterior wall. We remodel these spaces with freeze-protected supply lines, proper venting, and layouts that work in small mountain floor plans. Bathroom Remodeling in Crestline has the full breakdown of scope, cost, and what we typically find behind the walls.

Kitchen Remodeling in Crestline
Kitchen remodeling in Crestline almost always means working inside a cabin built decades ago, on a floor that slopes, with plumbing and electrical that predate modern code. The most common job we take on is a full gut-and-replace, where we open the walls, correct the structure and utilities, and build a kitchen that works for the way the house is actually used now. Snow-load-rated venting, freeze-protected supply lines, and fire-hardened exterior penetrations are standard in every Crestline kitchen we build. If you’re planning a kitchen inside a new ADU, see our Kitchen Remodeling hub for design and finish options, from full custom cabinetry to durable quartz and butcher block counters.
Full Kitchen Gut and Replace
Signs you need it
Your Crestline kitchen has original 1960s or 1970s cabinetry, the floor slopes noticeably toward one wall, and you can’t run a microwave and toaster on the same circuit without tripping a breaker.
What it costs in Crestline
A full kitchen gut and replace in Crestline typically runs $28,000 to $55,000, with slope corrections, electrical upgrades, and freeze-protected plumbing adding to the final figure.
How we do it
We strip the kitchen to framing, sister or repair floor joists as needed, rough in new plumbing and electrical, then rebuild with insulated walls, proper venting, and your selected cabinetry, counters, and fixtures.
Cabinet Refacing and Countertop Replacement
Signs you need it
Your cabinet boxes are solid but the doors and drawer faces are worn, dated, or swollen from years of mountain humidity cycles, and your counters are cracked laminate or stained tile.
What it costs in Crestline
Cabinet refacing with new doors, drawer faces, and hardware in Crestline typically runs $3,600 to $8,900, plus $2,000 to $7,000 for new counters depending on surface material.
How we do it
We measure every opening, order new doors and drawer fronts, refinish or veneer the boxes on site, then template, cut, and install the new counter surface with sink and faucet replacement.
Layout Change and Load-Bearing Wall Removal
Signs you need it
Your Crestline cabin has a closed-off, galley-style kitchen that blocks light and flow, and you want to open it to the living area but aren’t sure which walls are load-bearing.
What it costs in Crestline
A kitchen layout change in Crestline starts around $12,000 to $25,000 when a load-bearing wall is involved, with engineering review and beam installation as part of the job.
How we do it
We determine which walls carry roof load, specify and install an engineered beam, reroute any plumbing or electrical in the wall, and rebuild the kitchen in the new open configuration.

| Full kitchen gut and replace | $28,000 – $55,000 |
| Cabinet refacing | $3,600 – $8,900 |

How long does a kitchen remodel take in Crestline?
Most full kitchen remodels in Crestline take 6 to 10 weeks from demolition to finish. Winter weather can slow material delivery on mountain routes, and we factor that into the schedule before we start.
Will my Crestline kitchen need snow-load or fire upgrades?
Yes, in most cases. Any exterior wall work, roof vent, or penetration must meet San Bernardino County’s wildland-urban interface requirements, and roof structure above the kitchen must handle Crestline snow loads. We handle both during the rough-in phase. Call (855) 949-1913 for specifics on your cabin.

FAQs About ADU Company in Crestline
Yes, we’ve served Crestline since 2011 and schedule work in all four seasons. Winter slows some site work when snow is on the ground, but we plan framing, roofing, and exterior phases around the weather and keep interior work moving through the colder months. Call (855) 949-1913 to talk through your timeline.
Both. Crestline sits in unincorporated San Bernardino County, so any ADU, kitchen remodel, or bathroom remodel that touches plumbing, electrical, or structure needs county permits, and any new dwelling unit goes through wildland-urban interface fire review. We pull all permits and manage inspections from start to finish.
Usually yes, but it depends on what the county will approve. Fire-access review is the single biggest variable on Crestline lots, and we’ve designed around narrow drives, tight turnarounds, and steep grades. The first step is a site visit and feasibility review, which is free. Call (855) 949-1913 to schedule one.
