ADU Company in Rialto, CA
Kitchen remodeling in Rialto usually means working inside a 1950s or 1960s single-story tract home where the original footprint was tight, the wiring is maxed out, and summers push past 100°F. That’s why homeowners here call us about cabinet replacement, countertop upgrades, and full galley-to-open-concept reconfigurations more than anything else. We build ADUs too, and we remodel bathrooms, but kitchens are where Rialto’s older housing stock shows its age first. If you’re planning a remodel, an ADU, or both, call (833) 589-8273 for a free estimate.
Why Rialto Homes Are Different
Rialto’s housing stock is overwhelmingly post-WWII and mid-century tract construction: single-story stucco over wood framing, many homes sitting on quarter-acre lots with detached garages and existing concrete pads. That’s a real advantage for ADU work, but it also means the original electrical panels were sized for 1960s loads, not a second dwelling with its own AC. Before we start any ADU, we check the panel capacity and sewer lateral condition. The detached garages throughout 92376 and 92377 are actually ideal conversion candidates, many with alley access that simplifies utility runs and parking.
The climate shapes every project here. Rialto summers regularly exceed 100°F with intense afternoon sun, so insulation and reflective roofing aren’t optional on an ADU. Santa Ana wind events add fire-resistant material considerations, which is why we install James Hardie fiber-cement siding on exterior applications. It outlasts vinyl and handles both heat and wind better than wood composite. When we design a detached ADU in Rialto, we plan separate utility trenches and alley-accessed parking wherever the lot allows. That’s a design move that’s common here and nearly impossible in nearby cities with tighter lot lines.
Our Main Rialto Services
When Rialto homeowners call us, two projects dominate the conversation: detached ADUs in the rear yard and bathroom remodels inside aging tract homes. Here’s what each looks like in this city.
ADU Builders in Rialto
Rialto’s quarter-acre lots and detached garages make it one of the Inland Empire’s more ADU-friendly cities. We compare seven prefab manufacturers including Boxabl, Plant Prefab, and Tuff Shed against site-built construction, so the recommendation fits your lot, your timeline, and your budget rather than our preferred vendor. The dominant Rialto ADU types are garage conversions and rear-yard detached units, and we handle the entire scope under one contract: site prep, structure, utilities, and interior finishes. Learn more at ADU Builders in Rialto.
Bathroom Remodeling in Rialto
Bathrooms in Rialto’s mid-century homes were built small, often with original cast-iron plumbing and single-sink vanities. We see a lot of shower-to-tub conversions, aging valve replacements, and full tear-outs down to the studs. Because we also build ADUs, we’re experienced running new water lines and drain-waste-vent systems, which matters when a bathroom remodel accompanies a new detached unit. One contractor keeps the schedule clean. Details on scope and pricing are at Bathroom Remodeling in Rialto.

Kitchen Remodeling in Rialto
Kitchen remodeling in Rialto almost always starts with the same three problems: cramped original footprints, outdated wiring that can’t support modern appliances, and cabinets that have dried out after decades of Inland Empire heat. A typical job here means reconfiguring a narrow galley kitchen into something more open, replacing the panel and circuits, and installing finishes that hold up to real daily use. We handle the full scope in-house, from demo through finished interior, so your remodel doesn’t get handed off between subcontractors. For a deeper look at how we approach kitchen projects, see our Kitchen Remodeling overview.
Cabinet Replacement and Refacing
Signs you need it
Warped doors, failing hinges, delaminating veneer, and drawer slides that stick are common in Rialto kitchens where decades of heat have taken a toll.
What it costs in Rialto
Cabinet refacing typically runs $5,000 to $12,000, while full replacement with new boxes and doors runs $9,000 to $24,000 depending on kitchen size and material.
How we do it
We measure every opening, remove the old cabinets, and either reface the existing boxes or install new ones, then mount doors, hardware, and soft-close slides.
Countertop Installation
Signs you need it
Cracked tile, stained laminate, or counters that have separated from the walls are the typical triggers we see in Rialto’s older tract kitchens.
What it costs in Rialto
New countertops typically run $2,500 to $6,000 in Rialto depending on material, edge profile, and linear footage.
How we do it
We template the existing cabinets, cut the new material to fit, and install with proper support and sealing around sinks and backsplashes.
Full Galley-to-Open Concept Reconfiguration
Signs you need it
When the kitchen is closed off from the living space and every meal prep happens in a narrow corridor, opening the floor plan is the most common request in Rialto.
What it costs in Rialto
A structural reconfiguration in Rialto runs $35,000 to $80,000 when walls come down, beams go in, and electrical and plumbing get relocated.
How we do it
We assess which interior walls are load-bearing, size the beam, reroute mechanicals, and rebuild the space with new flooring, lighting, and finishes.

How long does a kitchen remodel take in Rialto?
Most Rialto kitchen remodels run 4 to 12 weeks depending on scope. Cabinet refacing finishes in about a week; a galley-to-open reconfiguration with structural work runs 8 to 12 weeks. Call (833) 589-8273 for a specific timeline for your project.
Will my Rialto kitchen remodel require a panel upgrade?
Homes built in Rialto in the 1950s through 1970s often carry 100-amp panels that cannot support modern kitchen loads. If your remodel adds a range hood, extra circuits, or an island with outlets, a 200-amp upgrade is usually required. We handle the upgrade as part of the permit scope.
