ADU Company in Palm Springs, CA
Kitchen remodeling in Palm Springs means working inside homes built for a different era. The 1950s and 60s ranches and mid-century Modernist houses that define this city have small, closed-off kitchens, aging flat-roof waterproofing above, and walls that bake in 110°F summers. We handle the full kitchen remodel in Palm Springs from structural work to final hardware, and we also build ADUs and remodel bathrooms, so a full-property project never needs a second contractor. Call (833) 589-8273 to schedule a free estimate.
Why Palm Springs Homes Are Different
Palm Springs has one of the largest concentrations of preserved mid-century Modernist residential architecture in the country, and that shapes every trade on the job site. Homes here are predominantly single-story, with flat or low-slope roofs, post-and-beam framing, walls of glass, and cinder block or slumpstone construction. We work on these houses routinely, so we know what’s behind the drywall before we open it: 2×4 framing with limited cavity depth for insulation, roof structures that were never designed for recessed lighting retrofits, and exterior walls that radiate heat into the living space by 3 p.m. in July.
Flat roofs and monsoon-season downpours make drainage and waterproofing the two biggest liability points on any Palm Springs remodel or ADU addition. The extreme heat drives how we spec insulation, glazing, and cooling: a kitchen remodel that ignores the thermal load on the west-facing wall will be uncomfortable by the first August. Many lots in the 92262, 92263, 92264, and 92292 ZIP codes are large enough for a detached casita or pool house, but the city’s historic-preservation culture means any new structure must read as compatible with the original home’s roofline, materials, and massing.
Our Main Palm Springs Services
When Palm Springs homeowners call us, the conversation usually starts with one of two projects: building an ADU or remodeling a bathroom. Here’s what each involves locally.
ADU Builders in Palm Springs
We build detached ADUs, garage conversions, and pool-side casitas in Palm Springs, and we’re one of the few contractors in the Coachella Valley who can offer a genuine comparison between prefab and site-built construction. We work with multiple prefab manufacturers, including Dvele and Boxabl, so the recommendation you get is based on your lot, your setback, and your preservation constraints, not on whichever brand we happen to stock. Flat-roof matching, monsoon drainage detailing, and shade-tolerant siting are all handled in-house. See the full scope on our ADU Builders in Palm Springs page.
Bathroom Remodeling in Palm Springs
Palm Springs bathrooms from the 1950s and 60s are tight, under-ventilated, and often carry original cast-iron drain lines that have been corroding for sixty years. A bathroom remodel here means bringing the room up to modern code while it still feels right inside a mid-century house. We handle full gut renovations, walk-in shower conversions, and accessible bathroom updates for aging-in-place clients in the 92264 and 92262 ZIP codes. Detailed local pricing and scope are on our Bathroom Remodeling in Palm Springs page.

Kitchen Remodeling in Palm Springs
Kitchen remodeling in Palm Springs is as much about the house’s structure and climate as it is about cabinets and countertops. Most of the homes we open up were built between 1955 and 1975, so we typically find flat-roof drain lines running over the kitchen ceiling, minimal wall insulation, and electrical panels that need an upgrade before a modern appliance suite can be installed safely. The desert heat makes ventilation and cooling load calculations non-negotiable: a kitchen that adds a double oven or a pro-style range without addressing exhaust air and thermal gain will be miserable by August. Contact Kitchen Remodeling for a free consultation on your Palm Springs project.
Full kitchen gut and reconfiguration
Signs you need it
Your current kitchen has a closed-off footprint, original 1960s cabinets, one functional counter run, and no sensible way to add an island without removing walls.
What it costs in Palm Springs
A full kitchen gut with layout reconfiguration in Palm Springs typically runs $40,000 to $70,000, depending on structural work, electrical upgrades, and whether we’re moving plumbing.
How we do it
We open the walls to confirm framing and utility paths, upgrade the electrical panel if needed, reroute plumbing and gas, reframe the opening or remove the wall, then insulate, drywall, and rebuild the kitchen to the new layout.
Cabinet replacement and countertop upgrade
Signs you need it
Your existing cabinets are particleboard with water-damaged sink bases, your laminate counters are delaminating, and you want to keep the current footprint but refresh every visible surface.
What it costs in Palm Springs
Cabinet replacement with new stone or quartz counters in a Palm Springs kitchen typically runs $15,000 to $30,000, depending on cabinet line, counter material, and whether the backsplash tile is included.
How we do it
We remove old cabinets and counters, inspect and repair the drywall behind them, install the new cabinet boxes and faces, template and install the countertops, then finish with backsplash, sink, faucet, and appliance reconnection.
What Kitchen Remodeling Costs in Palm Springs
| Item | Typical range in Palm Springs |
|---|---|
| Full kitchen gut and reconfiguration | $40,000 – $70,000 |
| Cabinet replacement and countertop upgrade | $15,000 – $30,000 |
| Appliance-led refresh with new countertops and backsplash | $12,000 – $22,000 |
Flat-roof drainage corrections, panel upgrades, and permits for work in historic districts push the price toward the upper end. We write fixed line-item quotes, so the number you approve is the number you pay.
How long does a kitchen remodel take in Palm Springs?
A full kitchen gut in Palm Springs typically takes 6 to 10 weeks from demo to final walkthrough. Cabinet-and-counter refreshes run 3 to 5 weeks if no structural work is involved. Call (833) 589-8273 for a timeline specific to your project.
Do I need a permit to remodel a kitchen in Palm Springs?
Yes. Palm Springs requires building permits for any kitchen remodel that changes plumbing, electrical, or structural elements, and historic-district properties often trigger additional design review. Call (833) 589-8273 and we’ll walk you through the exact path for your address.
