ADU Company in Pomona, CA
Kitchen remodeling in Pomona means working with homes built between the 1920s and 1970s, where original layouts were designed for a different era of cooking and gathering. Many of these Craftsman bungalows and mid-century tract homes have galley kitchens with single-wall plumbing, limited counter space, and no ventilation to handle Pomona’s hot inland summers. Casita ADU Builders has served Pomona since 2013, matching each remodel to the home’s era while bringing kitchens into the way families actually live now. Call (877) 658-7475 to talk through your project.
Why Pomona Homes Are Different
Pomona’s housing stock runs deep and narrow. The Craftsman and Spanish Revival bungalows near downtown and along the historic core often sit on long, slender lots where the kitchen was squeezed into a back corner, far from the dining room. The 1950s and 60s tract homes in the eastern ZIPs, 91766 and 91768, were built fast with compact kitchens that worked for a family of four in 1962 but not for how people cook and host today. Remodeling here rarely means a blank slate. We deal with load-bearing walls in unexpected places, cast-iron plumbing that’s been in the ground since the Eisenhower administration, and electrical panels that were never sized for modern appliances. Pomona’s heat is the other factor. Summer days above 95°F mean a kitchen needs real ventilation, a properly sized range hood, and an HVAC plan that keeps the room usable during July and August, not just on paper. Older homes here also carry the legacy of decades of unpermitted work, so we approach every remodel with an eye toward what the City of Pomona will require us to correct before the final inspection.
Our Main Pomona Services
Pomona homeowners usually reach out to us about one of two things: adding living space with an ADU or fixing a bathroom that’s been ignored since the original build. Here’s what each involves in this city.
ADU Builders in Pomona
Pomona’s ADU market runs on garage conversions. The city’s deep lots and detached rear garages, many of them built before 1960, create a natural path to rental income or multigenerational housing without sacrificing yard space. But those older garages often have shallow footings and uninsulated walls, and we regularly find unpermitted electrical work from decades past that has to be corrected before the ADU can pass. We match each lot to the right build type, from prefab units to shed conversions, and handle the City of Pomona permitting process from start to finish. ADU Builders in Pomona covers the full scope, pricing, and typical timelines for this city.
Bathroom Remodeling in Pomona
Bathrooms in Pomona’s older homes are often original to the build, which in a 1948 bungalow means a four-foot tub, tile on drywall, and a single outlet near a sink. Moisture exposure over 60 or 70 years leaves rot behind the walls, and the dry inland climate does not save a bathroom from the slow damage of daily use. We open those spaces up, correct the framing, bring plumbing to current code, and rebuild with materials that handle Pomona’s conditions. Bathroom Remodeling in Pomona walks through the process, costs, and what to expect when the walls come down.

Kitchen Remodeling in Pomona
Kitchen remodeling in Pomona is about bringing pre-war and mid-century homes up to the way people cook today without erasing the character that makes those houses worth owning. The typical job starts with a galley kitchen in a 1930s bungalow near the historic core or a compact 1960s tract kitchen in the eastern ZIPs, and the work involves reconfiguring the footprint, updating plumbing and electrical that’s past its useful life, and adding ventilation that actually handles a Pomona summer. It’s the highest-impact remodel in this city because the original kitchens were built for a completely different life. Most Pomona kitchen remodels fall between $28,000 and $75,000 depending on whether you’re refreshing a small galley or reconfiguring the entire back of the house. For the full scope of what we offer, see Kitchen Remodeling.
Galley Kitchen Expansion
Signs you need it
Your kitchen is a single-strip layout where two people cannot pass, there’s no room for a dishwasher, and the counter space is half of what a modern family needs.
What it costs in Pomona
A galley kitchen expansion in Pomona typically runs $35,000 to $65,000 when it involves removing or relocating walls, depending on load-bearing conditions and plumbing relocation.
How we do it
We assess the load path, confirm which walls can move, re-route plumbing and electrical, open the kitchen to the dining area where the floor plan allows, and rebuild with new cabinetry, counters, and ventilation.
Full Kitchen Reconfiguration
Signs you need it
Your kitchen is walled off from the rest of the home, the work triangle doesn’t exist, appliances are in the wrong places, and the room fights your family instead of serving it.
What it costs in Pomona
A full kitchen reconfiguration in Pomona typically runs $45,000 to $85,000, covering floor plan changes, structural work, all new plumbing and electrical, cabinetry, counters, and finishes.
How we do it
We design the new layout around your actual cooking and gathering patterns, pull permits with the City of Pomona, handle demolition, framing, MEP rough-in, insulation, drywall, and then install cabinetry, counters, tile, and appliances in sequence.

What Pomona 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."
— Aisha Prince"Knew the local setback and parking rules cold, which saved us from designing something that would never have been approved."
— Maria Martinez"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."
