ADU Company in Cypress, CA
Kitchen remodeling in Cypress means working inside homes built between 1955 and 1969, where the original galley kitchens were framed for a different era. We see the same conditions on nearly every job in the 90630: load-bearing walls that run the full length of the house, post-and-beam ceilings over cramped footprints, and plumbing stacks that haven’t moved since Eisenhower was in office. Bungalow ADU Builders handles the whole remodel – from moving walls and rerouting drain lines to the James Hardie exteriors and finished countertops – so Cypress homeowners aren’t juggling three contractors on a 60-year-old house. Call (866) 730-4828 for a free estimate.
Why Cypress Homes Are Different
Cypress is a fully built-out, post-WWII master-planned suburb, and much of the 90630 housing stock dates to the 1950s and 1960s tract builds that went up around the former Los Alamitos and Anaheim dairy land. These are single-story, wood-frame stucco homes with attached or detached two-car garages, and many of the original driveways run straight back to a rear garage. That’s the classic setup for garage-conversion and rear-detached ADU work, and it matters for remodels too – because the kitchen almost always shares a wall with that garage.
What this means in practice: nearly every ADU here is a rear-yard infill or a garage conversion squeezed onto a lot that was already small when it was platted. Setback, lot-coverage, and parking questions dominate before design even starts. Unlike neighboring cities with bigger lots or newer development, Cypress ADU work is essentially a “find the square footage” exercise on tight, mature residential blocks. For kitchen remodels, the same tight-lot reality means exterior access is limited, deliveries need coordination, and we’re often matching new work back to a 1960s roofline and stucco texture so the finished product doesn’t look bolted on. The coastal-influenced Orange County climate – mild, dry summers, marine-layer mornings – means kitchens don’t need heavy heating, but afternoon sun exposure on west-facing walls makes insulation and window placement details that actually matter for comfort and energy use.
Our Main Cypress Services
Most Cypress homeowners call us about two things: building an ADU on a tight residential lot, or remodeling a bathroom in a house that hasn’t seen a fixture update since the original build. Here’s how each works locally.
ADU Builders in Cypress
Cypress ADU projects are almost always garage conversions or rear-yard detached units on lots where every setback inch counts. We walk the property with an eye on utility trenching from the main house, the existing driveway approach, and whether the lot-coverage math pencils out before you spend a dollar on design. Because we source from brands like Abodu, Plant Prefab, and Tuff Shed rather than pushing one product, the recommendation follows your lot and budget, not our inventory. ADU Builders in Cypress covers the full process from permit submission to finished unit.
Bathroom Remodeling in Cypress
Bathrooms in 1950s and 1960s Cypress tract homes tend to be small, with original cast-iron tubs, dated tile, and sometimes questionable subfloor condition after sixty years of coastal moisture. We regularly open up walls and find the original galvanized supply lines or a floor that needs sistering before new tile goes down. The same team that builds ADU shells handles the bathroom finishes, so the job doesn’t stall between a general contractor and separate trade crews. Bathroom Remodeling in Cypress walks through what to expect on these older homes.

Kitchen Remodeling in Cypress
Kitchen remodeling in Cypress usually means opening up a closed-off galley kitchen in a 1950s or 1960s tract home, the kinds of houses that dominate the 90630. These kitchens were built small, with load-bearing walls separating them from the living room, and the existing plumbing and electrical were never intended for modern appliances. The coastal-influenced climate is forgiving on mechanicals, but flat, tight lots mean we’re often coordinating deliveries through a narrow side yard and matching new exterior work back to the original stucco and roofline. Bungalow ADU Builders has served Cypress since 2014, and we’re the same team behind the ADUs going up across the city. That matters because we understand how a kitchen remodel on a Cypress lot often dovetails with a rear garage conversion, a Kitchen Remodeling project, or a complete ADU build – one crew, one schedule, one set of permits where possible.
Full Galley Kitchen Opening
Signs you need it
The kitchen is closed off behind a load-bearing wall, the sightline to the dining area is blocked, and the room feels cramped even with one cook in it.
What it costs in Cypress
In Cypress this type of remodel typically runs $38,000 to $62,000 depending on wall removal, beam installation, and how much plumbing needs to move.
How we do it
We confirm bearing-wall status with a structural engineer, size and install the beam, reroute utilities, then rebuild the opening with finishes matched to the original 1960s stucco and trim.
Cabinet and Countertop Replacement
Signs you need it
The cabinet boxes are swollen or delaminating from decades of coastal moisture, and the countertops are chipped laminate that no longer cleans properly.
What it costs in Cypress
Cabinet and countertop replacement in Cypress generally falls between $18,000 and $29,000 depending on cabinet quality, countertop material, and whether we’re keeping the existing layout.
How we do it
We remove the old boxes, repair any drywall or subfloor damage behind them, install new cabinets level on shims, and template countertops after the boxes are set so the fit is exact.

How long does a kitchen remodel take in Cypress?
Most Cypress kitchen remodels run four to eight weeks from demo to final walkthrough, with the caveat that 1950s and 1960s homes often hide subfloor repairs or galvanized pipe replacement once the walls are open. We schedule in that buffer so the finish date doesn’t slide unexpectedly. Call (866) 730-4828 for a timeline based on your specific scope.
Do you handle the permits for a Cypress kitchen remodel?
Yes, we pull all required permits with the City of Cypress and schedule the inspections as part of the job. If you’re adding square footage or converting a garage into kitchen-adjacent space, the permit path gets more involved, and we manage that full process too. Call (866) 730-4828 to talk through what your project needs.

What Cypress Customers Say
"Garage conversion to a one bedroom unit. He handled the plans, the city submittal, and every round of corrections. Took six months from first meeting to final inspection and he never once made the permit process my problem."
— Wade Pruitt"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."
— Emily Yang"Sound insulation between the unit and the main house is better than I expected. You genuinely cannot hear the tenant."
— Alicia Ingram
