ADU Company in Pomona, CA
Kitchen remodeling in Pomona means working around 1920s bungalow floor plans, mid-century tract layouts, and the heat of the eastern San Gabriel Valley. We’re Bungalow ADU Builders, and we’ve served Pomona since 2014, handling full kitchen renovations alongside ADU construction and bathroom remodeling. Most Pomona kitchens are smaller than what you’d find in newer suburbs, which changes how we approach layout, storage, and ventilation. Call us at (866) 730-4828 to talk through what your kitchen needs and what it will cost.
Why Pomona Homes Are Different
Pomona has one of the highest concentrations of large, underutilized lots in LA County. Pre-war bungalows on deep lots near downtown sit alongside mid-century tract homes across the east side, and that mix creates real opportunity for rear-yard ADUs and kitchen expansions. But the city’s older alley and utility easement patterns mean many detached-unit sites trigger lot-coverage and drainage review that newer suburbs never see. If your kitchen remodel includes a bump-out or you’re planning an ADU with a full kitchen, plan reviewers will look hard at how the addition affects your lot coverage.
Much of Pomona’s housing stock is 1920s-1950s single-story stucco, with Spanish Revival and Craftsman cottages concentrated near downtown and Lincoln Park. These homes have small footprints and detached single-car garages at the rear, which makes them classic ADU candidates. The long, narrow lots behind downtown-area bungalows often leave exactly the wrong amount of buildable width: enough for an ADU to fit on paper, but not enough for required side setbacks and access. Plan reviewers in Pomona flag these projects for front-yard-to-rear-yard access and turning-radius compliance, so we factor that into the design before you spend money on plans.
Inland Pomona gets hot, dry summers and periodic Santa Ana wind events. Kitchen remodels here need serious ventilation, efficient cooling, and materials that hold up to heat. For ADUs, fire-resistant detailing on roofs and exterior walls matters more than it does in coastal LA. James Hardie fiber-cement siding and trim are a practical choice for Pomona’s climate, and we specify them regularly.
Our Main Pomona Services
Pomona homeowners call us about two projects more than anything else: building an ADU on an underused rear lot, and remodeling a dated bathroom in an older bungalow or tract home. Here’s what each looks like in Pomona specifically.
ADU Builders in Pomona
Pomona’s rear garages and deep lots are ideal for detached ADUs, but the older alley and easement patterns here mean the site work often costs more than the prefab product itself. We work with Abodu, Cover, Dvele, and other leading brands so you’re comparing systems rather than starting from scratch, and we handle the setbacks, drainage review, and turning-radius compliance that Pomona plan reviewers flag most. From foundation to finished kitchen, one team. See ADU Builders in Pomona for the full breakdown.
Bathroom Remodeling in Pomona
Bathrooms in Pomona’s 1920s-1950s bungalows are tight, often under 40 square feet, with cast-iron waste lines that have been in the ground for seventy-plus years. We gut them properly, replace the old plumbing, and rebuild for heat and humidity the way Pomona summers demand. The same crew that builds an ADU shell can finish the bathroom inside it, which eliminates the handoff between a general contractor and separate trade contractors. See Bathroom Remodeling in Pomona for what a typical project involves.

Kitchen Remodeling in Pomona
Kitchen remodeling in Pomona is usually about making a small 1920s-1950s kitchen actually work: more counter space, better ventilation for inland heat, and storage that fits a bungalow’s footprint rather than fighting it. Homes near downtown and Lincoln Park have galley kitchens that need creative layout work, while east-side tract homes from the 1960s and 70s often have dated cabinetry and poor airflow. We handle the full scope, from demolition through finishes, and our in-house kitchen and bathroom capability means the team that builds your new kitchen is the same one that shows up every day. For a complete look at what we do, see our Kitchen Remodeling page.
Cabinet Refacing and Replacement
Signs you need it
Drawers that stick, doors that hang crooked, or cabinet boxes that have swelled from years of Pomona heat and humidity mean it’s time to replace rather than reface.
What it costs in Pomona
Cabinet refacing in Pomona typically runs $7,000 – $14,000, while full replacement with mid-grade cabinets lands between $15,000 and $30,000 depending on kitchen size and door style.
How we do it
We measure the existing layout, pull the old doors and boxes, and either reface the frames or rebuild with new cabinetry, then install hardware and adjust every door before we call it done.
Countertop Replacement
Signs you need it
Cracks, deep stains, or laminate that’s peeling at the seams means your counters have outlived their useful life, especially in a kitchen that sees daily cooking.
What it costs in Pomona
Quartz countertops in Pomona kitchens run $3,500 – $7,000 installed for a typical bungalow kitchen, with larger east-side tract kitchens falling at the higher end.
How we do it
We template the existing counters precisely, remove the old surface, and install the new stone with proper seam placement and sink cutouts, then seal and finish the edges.

A full kitchen remodel in Pomona, including cabinets, counters, flooring, and fixtures, typically lands between $25,000 and $55,000. The spread depends on kitchen size, whether you’re moving plumbing or gas lines, and what condition the subfloor is in once we open it up.
How long does a kitchen remodel take in Pomona?
A full kitchen remodel in Pomona typically takes 6 to 10 weeks from demo to final walkthrough. Permitting adds 2 to 4 weeks on top of that, depending on the scope and which plan reviewer your project lands with. Call (866) 730-4828 for a timeline specific to your kitchen.
Do I need a permit to remodel a kitchen in Pomona?
Yes, if you’re moving plumbing, electrical, or gas lines, or changing the kitchen’s footprint, Pomona requires permits and inspections. We pull permits for every job that needs them and schedule the inspections so the work passes the first time. Call (866) 730-4828 to confirm what your project triggers.
Brands We Service in Pomona
We work with Abodu, Cover, and Dvele for prefab ADU shells, and we use James Hardie fiber-cement for durable sidings that stand up to Pomona’s heat and Santa Ana winds. For rear-yard structures built from scratch on site, we’ve also sourced Tuff Shed. Our our brands page walks through what each system does well.

In Pomona, site work often pushes ADU and kitchen addition prices higher than the product cost alone. Older sewer laterals, tight rear-yard access, and drainage review on long narrow lots are the three most common cost drivers we see. Every estimate we give is a written line-item quote, and the price doesn’t change once work starts unless you change the scope.

What Pomona 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."
— Emily Yang"Sound insulation between the unit and the main house is better than I expected. You genuinely cannot hear the tenant."
— Alicia Ingram"The kitchenette layout he suggested made better use of the space than the one on our original sketch."
— Kelly Schaefer
