ADU Company in Lakeland Village, CA
Kitchen remodeling in Lakeland Village means working with older lake cottages and hillside lots that rarely match the clean, square footage assumptions of a suburban tract home. Most of the kitchens we see in this unincorporated Riverside County community were built in the 1970s and 80s, and they show it: tired cabinet boxes, dated laminate counters, and layouts that fight the room’s actual shape. Add in the county permit process and the wildland-urban-interface fire zone that covers much of the area, and a Lakeland Village kitchen project becomes a different job than the same remodel ten minutes away in Lake Elsinore. Bungalow ADU Builders has served Lakeland Village since 2014. Call (866) 730-4828 to talk through what your kitchen will actually cost.
Why Lakeland Village Homes Are Different
Lakeland Village is not a city. It’s an unincorporated area in Riverside County, hugging the southwest shore of Lake Elsinore, which means every structural project, from a kitchen remodel to a full ADU, runs through County of Riverside planning and building rather than a city hall counter. That single fact changes timelines, inspection schedules, and the paperwork trail for every job.
The housing stock here is a mix of mid-century cabins, 1970s and 80s lake cottages, and a smaller number of newer custom homes, often built on small, sloped, or irregular lots. We regularly see kitchens with single-sink plumbing, limited electrical circuits, and structural quirks like floor joists that were sistered together forty years ago. The steep, brushy hillside terrain above the lake also means wildfire exposure is a real planning factor. Exterior work tied to a kitchen remodel, like adding a range hood vent or a window, has to account for ember-resistant detailing and the county’s WUI requirements. And because many Lakeland Village properties sit within a wildland-urban-interface fire zone, the county has specific rules about siding, vents, and eaves that a homeowner following Lake Elsinore city guidelines would never encounter.
Our Main Lakeland Village Services
Most Lakeland Village homeowners reach out to us for one of two reasons: they want to add a rental or family ADU on their lot, or they need to bring an aging bathroom up to something livable, rentable, or saleable. Both jobs are shaped by the same county permitting reality and the same older housing stock.
ADU Builders in Lakeland Village
Building an ADU in Lakeland Village means navigating County of Riverside setback rules, fire-hardening requirements, and septic or sewer constraints on lots that were never platted with a second dwelling in mind. We work with prefab and panelized systems from brands like Plant Prefab, Abodu, and Dvele, which helps when a hillside lot leaves little room for a traditional site-built foundation and framing crew. The design conversation here starts with your parcel’s actual constraints, not a catalog photo. ADU Builders in Lakeland Village covers the full process, from first site check to finished interior.
Bathroom Remodeling in Lakeland Village
Bathrooms in 1970s and 80s Lakeland Village cottages tend to be small, often with original cast iron or acrylic tubs, dated tile, and moisture issues that have had decades to settle in. Because we handle the interior trades in-house, a bathroom remodel can run alongside an ADU build or stand alone, without the handoff risk of coordinating separate plumbers, tilers, and electricians. Bathroom Remodeling in Lakeland Village details what a typical project involves and how the county’s inspection process fits into the schedule.

Kitchen Remodeling in Lakeland Village
Kitchen remodeling in Lakeland Village usually starts with a simple frustration: the kitchen no longer works for the way the house is actually used. These are not big, open kitchens. They’re compact rooms carved out of older lake cottages, often with one window, two or three working electrical circuits, and cabinetry that has been painted over more times than anyone remembers. The heat matters too. Inland Southern California summers push temperatures above 100 degrees, and a poorly ventilated kitchen in a 1970s home with no range hood can become nearly unusable in July. Bungalow ADU Builders has served Lakeland Village since 2014, and we plan every remodel around the county permit path and the fire-zone requirements that affect exterior wall penetrations, vent terminations, and window replacements. Our Kitchen Remodeling service covers the full scope, from first cabinet layout to final hardware.
Cabinet Replacement and Layout
Signs you need it
Cabinets that stick, doors that sag, shelves bowing under the weight of everyday dishware, or a layout that forces you to walk across the room every time you need the refrigerator.
What it costs in Lakeland Village
Cabinet replacement and layout work in Lakeland Village typically ranges from $8,000 to $20,000 depending on cabinet line, linear footage, and whether the existing boxes can be reused.
How we do it
We measure the existing footprint, confirm what’s structural versus cosmetic, lay out the new configuration in a floor plan, then remove, prepare, and install new cabinets with the same crew that handles the rest of the interior.
Countertop and Backsplash Upgrades
Signs you need it
Chipped or burned laminate, grout lines that can’t be cleaned anymore, or a countertop surface that’s absorbing stains and water around the sink.
What it costs in Lakeland Village
Countertop and backsplash upgrades in Lakeland Village typically run $3,000 to $7,000 for standard quartz or solid surface, with natural stone and full-height backsplashes pushing higher.
How we do it
We template the existing counters, order the stone or solid surface, remove the old material, and install the new counters and backsplash in one coordinated sequence so the kitchen isn’t down longer than necessary.
Appliance Upgrades and Ventilation
Signs you need it
An electric coil cooktop from the 1980s, no working range hood, a refrigerator that can’t keep temperature in summer, or a dishwasher that needs to be pre-rinsed to do anything at all.
What it costs in Lakeland Village
Appliance and ventilation upgrades in Lakeland Village typically fall between $4,000 and $12,000 depending on appliance tier and whether we’re adding a new vent run to the exterior.
How we do it
We verify the existing electrical and duct capacity, order the appliances to match the final layout, then coordinate the gas, electric, and vent connections with the cabinet and countertop timeline so everything lands in sequence.

What Lakeland Village Customers Say
"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"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
