ADU Company in Bloomington, CA
Kitchen remodeling in Bloomington means working with 1950s and 1960s ranch homes where the original galley layout, aging electrical, and single-wall plumbing were never designed for how families cook today. We’ve remodeled kitchens across the 92316 ZIP code, and the jobs almost always come down to the same constraints: hot summers that demand better ventilation, older slabs that make moving drain lines a real cost driver, and a housing stock where nobody wants to overbuild the neighborhood. Classic ADU Builders has served Bloomington since 2015, and we handle the full kitchen – demo, electrical, plumbing, cabinetry, countertops, and finish work – without handing you off to a second contractor. Call (877) 265-5587 for a free estimate.
Why Bloomington Homes Are Different
Bloomington is unincorporated San Bernardino County land, which means ADU permits and kitchen remodels run through County Land Use Services rather than a city building department. That changes how we sequence inspections, how we schedule plan checks, and how long the approval window runs. The lots here are typically large and flat, many with detached garages, older outbuildings, and generous setbacks that neighboring Fontana and Rialto simply don’t have. Almost all the housing is single-story ranch and tract construction from the 1950s through the 1970s, plus a meaningful share of older owner-built and manufactured homes. The practical result is that Bloomington kitchen remodels often involve working around load-bearing walls that were framed with older methods, upgrading 100-amp panels that predate modern appliance loads, and planning for the kind of July heat that turns an unconditioned kitchen into the hottest room in the house. Santa Ana wind events push dust through old window seals and make proper range hood venting a genuine comfort issue, not a checkbox. We don’t treat Bloomington like a generic Inland Empire suburb. The housing is older, the lots are bigger, and the permit path runs through the county – all three of those facts shape the work.
Our Main Bloomington Services
Bloomington homeowners call us about two things more than anything else: building an ADU on one of the town’s generously sized lots, and remodeling a bathroom in a house where the original finishes have been in place since the Nixon administration.
ADU Builders in Bloomington
Bloomington’s semi-rural lots are some of the best ADU candidates in the Inland Empire. Many parcels have room for a detached unit behind the main house, and plenty of older detached garages can be legally converted with the right structural assessment and utility upgrades. Because permits run through San Bernardino County rather than a city hall, getting the paperwork right from the start matters more than in incorporated cities nearby. We work with prefab and modular systems from Abodu, Cover, Dvele, Mighty Buildings, Boxabl, and Plant Prefab, plus Tuff Shed conversions and full custom site-built units. Every method has a different fit depending on your lot shape, setback, and budget. See how we approach Bloomington specifically: ADU Builders in Bloomington.
Bathroom Remodeling in Bloomington
Most Bloomington bathrooms we see are original to the home: cast iron tubs, 60-amp service running the whole house, and single-pane windows that fog every winter morning. Remodeling here usually means addressing subfloor rot around the tub, bringing GFCI protection up to current code, and improving ventilation so the room doesn’t bake in summer or hold moisture in winter. We handle the full scope, from rough plumbing and electrical to tile, glass, and fixtures. If you’re starting with a bathroom, this page covers the typical scope and pricing: Bathroom Remodeling in Bloomington.

Kitchen Remodeling in Bloomington
Most Bloomington kitchens we see are original to the house: a 10-foot run of cabinets, a single overhead light, maybe an exhaust fan that recirculates grease back into the room, and countertops that have outlived two generations. The opportunity on these lots is real space to expand – either by bumping into a large backyard, converting a former service porch, or reworking the floor plan within the existing footprint. Because Bloomington summers run hot and dry, ventilation and cooling capacity are not optional extras; a properly vented range hood and a well-insulated exterior wall make a measurable difference in comfort from June through September. We’ve written a fuller Kitchen Remodeling guide for the broader scope, but everything below is specific to how we work in Bloomington.
Full Kitchen Gut and Rebuild
Signs you need it
Your cabinets are delaminating, the layout traps two people in a 3-foot aisle, and the electrical panel can’t support a microwave and a toaster at the same time.
What it costs in Bloomington
A full gut and rebuild in Bloomington typically lands between $45,000 and $75,000 depending on cabinet grade, countertop material, and whether the floor plan changes.
How we do it
We start with a structural and electrical assessment, demo to studs, upgrade the circuits and rough plumbing to code, then rebuild with new drywall, flooring, cabinetry, counters, lighting, and appliances.
Cabinet and Countertop Replacement
Signs you need it
The cabinet boxes are still solid but the doors are chipped, the hinges sag, and the laminate counters are burned or peeling at the seams.
What it costs in Bloomington
Cabinet and countertop replacement in Bloomington usually runs $12,000 to $28,000, with the spread driven by whether you choose stock, semi-custom, or full custom boxes.
How we do it
We remove old doors, boxes, and counters, repair or replace the substrate, install new cabinetry and stone or solid-surface tops, and tie the plumbing and backsplash back in cleanly.

Will a kitchen remodel in Bloomington need county permits?
If you move plumbing, alter electrical, or touch load-bearing walls, yes – the project goes through San Bernardino County Land Use Services. We pull those permits and handle the inspection scheduling so you don’t have to. Call (877) 265-5587 for specifics on your home.
How long does a Bloomington kitchen remodel take?
Plan for 4 to 8 weeks on a typical remodel, with the longer end applying to jobs that move walls, replace the panel, or wait on county inspections. We’ll give you a written schedule before we start.

The two things that push Bloomington ADU prices up faster than anywhere else are soil and utilities. Older slabs and semi-rural drainage patterns sometimes require additional grading or foundation reinforcement, and upgrading a 100-amp panel to handle a second dwelling adds cost before the first wall goes up. That’s why we give every Bloomington homeowner a written, line-item quote before work starts – the number we quote is the number you pay.

Often, yes. A meaningful share of Bloomington housing is older owner-built or manufactured-home construction, and we evaluate each property before quoting.

What Bloomington Customers Say
"Detached unit in the back yard. Utilities trenched, separate meter, and it passed final on the first inspection."
— Steve Mercer"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."
— Marcy Miller"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."
— Beatriz Morales
