ADU Company in Highgrove, CA
Kitchen remodeling in Highgrove means working with homes built mostly between the 1950s and 1980s, many of them single-story ranch layouts on oversized lots where the kitchen was designed for a different era of family life. We see tight galley kitchens, dated cabinetry, laminate counters worn past repair, and original electrical that was never meant to carry the load of modern appliances. Highgrove’s unincorporated Riverside County status also means remodels here follow county permitting and inspection paths, not city codes, which changes how we sequence the work. If you’re planning a kitchen remodel in Highgrove, call us at (877) 265-7231 to schedule a free estimate.
Why Highgrove Homes Are Different
Highgrove sits in one of the last unincorporated pockets of Riverside County, and that single fact shapes nearly every kitchen remodeling project we take on here. Homes in the 92313 ZIP run through Riverside County Building & Safety, not a city building department, so the permit review timeline, inspection schedule, and even some electrical and plumbing requirements differ from a job one block over in Grand Terrace or Riverside proper. That’s not a complication most homeowners expect, but it’s one we plan around from the first walkthrough.
The housing stock itself pushes remodels in a specific direction. The typical Highgrove home is a mid-century single-story stucco with solid bones but original interiors. Kitchens are often compact, with limited counter run, little storage, and layouts that cut the room off from the rest of the house. Wall removal between a kitchen and living area is one of the most common changes we make here, and the ranch-style framing on most of these homes generally supports that kind of opening without heroic structural work.
Highgrove’s Inland Empire climate also drives material choices. Summer highs regularly top 100°F, and Santa Ana winds push dust into every gap. We spec cabinetry finishes and flooring that hold up in dry heat, ventilation that actually moves hot air out, and insulation details that keep a remodeled kitchen comfortable through August without taxing the HVAC system.
Our Main Highgrove Services
The two projects Highgrove homeowners call us about most are ADU construction and bathroom remodeling, and each one has its own dedicated Highgrove page with local pricing and permitting details.
ADU Builders in Highgrove
Highgrove’s lot sizes and unincorporated zoning make it one of the more ADU-friendly areas in the Riverside county region, especially for detached units and garage conversions. Many properties here already have an older detached garage or workshop in the back, which often makes the smartest starting point a legalization-and-conversion path rather than a ground-up build. We walk the rear property line on nearly every Highgrove estimate because that’s where the real opportunity usually sits. For a full breakdown of Highgrove ADU options, brand comparisons, and county permitting specifics, see ADU Builders in Highgrove.
Bathroom Remodeling in Highgrove
Older Highgrove homes typically have small baths with original cast-iron tubs, limited ventilation, and vanities that haven’t been touched in decades. The dry heat here is hard on caulk and grout, and many of these bathrooms show moisture damage around tub surrounds that predates the current owners. We handle full gut-and-rebuild baths as well as lighter refresh work, and because we’re already permitted with the county for kitchen and ADU jobs, adding a bathroom to the same project is straightforward. Details on costs, timelines, and what a Highgrove bath remodel involves are on Bathroom Remodeling in Highgrove.

Kitchen Remodeling in Highgrove
Kitchen remodeling in Highgrove usually means opening up a closed-off mid-century kitchen, replacing cabinetry that’s outlived its useful life, and bringing electrical, plumbing, and ventilation up to current county code. Because so many Highgrove homes are ranch-style with bearing walls running lengthwise, we plan each project around which walls can come down and which need header work, and the county’s unincorporated building standards guide every permit we pull. If you’re comparing contractors for a Highgrove kitchen remodel, the short version is this: we do the full scope, from demo to finishes, and we’ll show you exactly where your money goes line by line. Learn more about how we approach this work on our Kitchen Remodeling page, or call (877) 265-7231 to set up a walkthrough.

Countertop and Backsplash Upgrade
