ADU Company in Chino, CA
Kitchen remodeling in Chino usually means taking a 1990s or early-2000s tract home kitchen and rebuilding it for how families actually cook now: bigger islands, better ventilation for hot inland summers, and finishes that hold up to daily use. Classic ADU Builders has served Chino since 2015, and we’ve handled everything from full gut renovations in the 91710 core to modern upgrades in the Preserve’s newer homes in 91708. If you’re weighing a kitchen remodel alongside an ADU project, call us at (877) 265-5587 to talk through scope and pricing.
Why Chino Homes Are Different
Chino’s housing stock splits into two distinct generations, and each one changes how a remodel should be approached. The established neighborhoods across 91710 are full of homes built from the 1970s through the 1990s on generous lots. Those houses often have load-bearing walls in awkward spots, older wiring that sits below current code, and kitchens that were designed around a single cook. The Preserve area in 91708 is a different animal entirely: newer construction, open floor plans, and modern framing, but also HOA rules that can restrict exterior venting routes and window changes. The Inland Empire heat also matters more than people expect. A Chino kitchen needs a real exhaust system that can move hot air out during July and August, not just a recirculating fan. And the clay soil here shifts with the dry season, so any work that touches the slab or adds weight to the floor has to be planned with that movement in mind.
Our Main Chino Services
Most Chino homeowners call us about one of two things: adding an ADU for rental income or family, or upgrading a bathroom that’s showing its age. Both jobs benefit from a contractor who understands the city’s permit process and the quirks of its housing stock.
ADU Builders in Chino
Chino is one of the best cities in the Inland Empire for ADUs because so many lots in 91710 and 91708 have the yard space to support a detached unit. We’ve built garage conversions on older properties and prefab backyard units in the Preserve, and each lot has its own setback and HOA consideration. If you’re exploring an ADU, start with our ADU Builders in Chino page for local cost ranges and what to expect from the Chino permit process.
Bathroom Remodeling in Chino
Older 91710 homes frequently have bathrooms with original tile, dated vanities, and shower pans that have been patched too many times. Newer Preserve homes tend to need layout refinements and finish upgrades rather than full rebuilds. We handle the full scope, including moving plumbing when the floor plan demands it. See our Bathroom Remodeling in Chino page for pricing details and local examples.

Kitchen Remodeling in Chino
A kitchen remodel in Chino has to solve two problems at once: the heat of a genuine inland summer and the wear of a family kitchen that gets used every single day. Homes in 91710 often need panel upgrades before new appliances go in, while Preserve homes in 91708 usually have newer electrical but benefit from higher-end ventilation and finishes. Whether you’re reconfiguring the layout or gutting it to the studs, the goal is a kitchen that works harder without feeling like it’s working against you. We handle the entire project, shell to finished interior, using materials like James Hardie fiber cement where exterior walls are involved. For the broader scope of what we do, see our Kitchen Remodeling page.
Full Gut Renovation
Signs you need it
Your Chino kitchen still has original 1980s or 1990s cabinets, the layout traps a single cook in a corner, and the appliances are wired to circuits that can’t handle a modern range and microwave at the same time.
What it costs in Chino
A full gut renovation in Chino typically runs $45,000 to $85,000 depending on layout changes, appliance grade, and whether walls come down.
How we do it
We demo to the studs, upgrade the electrical panel if needed, reframe for the new layout, run new plumbing and wiring, hang drywall, install cabinets and counters, tile the backsplash, and finish with appliances and lighting.
Cabinet Refacing and Countertops
Signs you need it
Your cabinet boxes are still square and solid, but the doors are chipped, the finish is dated oak, and the countertops are laminate that’s peeling at the edges.
What it costs in Chino
Cabinet refacing with new countertops in Chino lands between $8,000 and $18,000 based on material choices and kitchen size.
How we do it
We remove the old doors and drawer fronts, apply new veneer to the boxes, install new doors and hardware, then template and set quartz or granite countertops with a new sink.
What Kitchen Remodeling Costs in Chino
| Item | Typical range in Chino |
|---|---|
| Full gut renovation | $45,000 – $85,000 |
| Cabinet refacing + countertops | $8,000 – $18,000 |
| Minor update (paint, hardware, backsplash, lighting) | $5,000 – $12,000 |
Chino prices push higher when a home in 91710 needs a panel upgrade from 100 to 200 amps, when load-bearing walls require a beam, or when an HOA in the Preserve requires architectural review before any exterior vent work. We give upfront written quotes and do not change the price once work starts without your written sign-off.
How long does a kitchen remodel take in Chino?
A full kitchen remodel in Chino takes 6 to 10 weeks depending on permit timing with the city and whether structural changes are involved. Cabinet refacing and counters usually wrap in 2 to 3 weeks. Call (877) 265-5587 for a timeline specific to your project.
Will a kitchen remodel in Chino require a permit?
Any work that touches plumbing, electrical, or load-bearing walls in Chino requires a city permit. Cosmetic updates like paint and hardware do not. We pull permits as part of our scope and schedule the inspections with the city.
Brands We Service in Chino
We work with the brands Chino homeowners have already researched: Boxabl, Plant Prefab, and Tuff Shed for ADU shells and conversions, plus James Hardie fiber cement for exterior cladding that stands up to inland heat and sun. Local supplier relationships keep lead times short rather than waiting on out-of-state freight. See our brands for the full list.

What Chino Customers Say
"The kitchenette layout he suggested made better use of the space than the one on our original sketch."
— Eric Tran"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
