ADU Company in Bloomington, CA
Kitchen remodeling in Bloomington usually means working inside a mid-century stucco home where the original footprint never anticipated how a modern family cooks, stores, and entertains. We see a lot of 1,100 to 1,700 square foot single-story houses built between the 1950s and 1970s here, with cramped galley kitchens, low ceilings, and limited electrical capacity. The heat matters too: Bloomington summers hover near triple digits, so ventilation, cooling, and appliance selection aren’t afterthoughts when you’re already opening walls. Sentinel ADU Builders has served Bloomington since 2017, and we handle kitchen remodeling, bathroom remodeling, and ADU construction under one project plan. Call (855) 341-3461 for a free estimate.
Why Bloomington Homes Are Different
Bloomington is an unincorporated San Bernardino County island, which means kitchen and ADU permits run through County Land Use Services rather than a city building department. That single fact changes timelines, inspection schedules, and paperwork in ways homeowners from neighboring incorporated cities don’t always expect. The housing stock is predominantly older single-story stucco homes from the mid-20th century on generous lots, many with detached garages and carports. A significant share of properties remain on septic rather than sewer, and any kitchen remodel that adds square footage can trigger a septic evaluation before the county signs off. Add in intense Inland Empire summer heat and Santa Ana wind events, and Bloomington work requires planning around insulation, efficient cooling, and wind-rated attachments rather than the mild coastal assumptions common elsewhere in Southern California.
We work throughout ZIP 92316, from the older grid streets near Valley Boulevard down to the larger parcels near the Santa Ana River’s north bank. The lot sizes are a genuine advantage here: where a Riverside or Orange County bungalow might sit on 5,000 square feet, many Bloomington parcels offer room to extend a kitchen outward, reconfigure the floor plan, or add a detached ADU while still keeping usable yard space. But the septic reality means we always verify sewer versus septic early, before design work locks in. Discovering a percolation requirement mid-permit is the fastest way to blow a Bloomington schedule.
Our Main Bloomington Services
Most Bloomington homeowners call us about one of two things: adding an ADU to a generous rear yard, or updating a bathroom in a home whose plumbing dates to the Eisenhower or Kennedy years. Both jobs live under the same county permitting roof here.
ADU Builders in Bloomington
Detached ADUs make particular sense in Bloomington because so many parcels have the depth and side-yard width that incorporated San Bernardino County cities lack. We guide homeowners through the county’s Land Use Services process, the septic evaluation question, and the prefab-versus-site-built decision using firsthand knowledge of Abodu, Cover, Dvele, and several other leading platforms. The hot, dry climate pushes us toward tight insulation packages and cooling-first designs. For the full local breakdown, see ADU Builders in Bloomington.
Bathroom Remodeling in Bloomington
Bloomington bathrooms from the mid-century era often have original cast-iron drains, single-bath layouts, and water heaters that predate modern fixture demands. We handle the full scope: moving walls, replacing drain lines, upgrading ventilation, and bringing everything to current county code. Given the unincorporated jurisdiction, we verify permit requirements with San Bernardino County on every job rather than assuming a city standard applies.

Kitchen Remodeling in Bloomington
Kitchen remodeling in Bloomington means opening up rooms designed for a 1960s family and rebuilding them for a 2026 one. The housing era here left Bloomington with a lot of compartmentalized kitchens, short upper cabinets, and electrical panels sized for an era before air fryers and induction cooktops. We also have to plan for summer heat: a poorly ventilated kitchen in a Bloomington August is a room nobody wants to be in, so range hoods, airflow, and appliance placement get real attention. If you’re researching the full service, our Kitchen Remodeling hub walks through the process in detail.
Full Kitchen Gut and Rebuild
Signs you need it
Water-damaged cabinets, a layout that forces a single cook into a corner while everyone else waits in the living room, and a floor that slopes where the 1969 slab settled.
What it costs in Bloomington
A full kitchen gut and rebuild in Bloomington typically runs $45,000 to $85,000 depending on cabinet grade, appliance tier, and whether you’re moving plumbing or gas lines.
How we do it
We strip the room to framing, verify the electrical panel’s remaining capacity, relocate plumbing if the layout demands it, then rebuild with new drywall, cabinetry, countertops, flooring, and fixtures on a county-inspected schedule.
Cabinet Replacement and Countertops
Signs you need it
Doors that no longer close square, shelves sagging under normal cookware weight, and laminate surfaces worn through to the particleboard.
What it costs in Bloomington
Cabinet replacement and new countertops in Bloomington generally range from $18,000 to $35,000 for a typical 10×12 kitchen, with stone and custom finish options pushing toward the upper end.
How we do it
We measure and order around existing plumbing and windows, demo the old boxes without disturbing adjacent drywall, install and level the new cabinetry, then template and set countertops with mechanical fastening rather than adhesive-only.
What Kitchen Remodeling Costs in Bloomington
| Item | Typical range in Bloomington |
|---|---|
| Full kitchen gut and rebuild | $45,000 – $85,000 |
| Cabinet replacement and countertops | $18,000 – $35,000 |
| Kitchen minor refresh (paint, hardware, backsplash) | $8,000 – $15,000 |
What pushes a Bloomington kitchen up is usually hidden: a 60-amp panel that needs upgrading to 200, a septic-related county review when square footage changes, or asbestos flooring common in 1950s-60s homes. We write line-item fixed quotes so the price you approve is the price you pay.
How long does a Bloomington kitchen remodel take?
A full gut and rebuild typically takes six to ten weeks, with county inspections scheduled around the unincorporated permitting calendar. Ordering custom cabinets before demolition shortens the timeline; changing scope mid-job extends it. Call (855) 341-3461 for a schedule based on your actual kitchen.
Will the price change once work starts?
No, not unless you change the scope. Our quotes are line-item and fixed; we confirm the electrical panel, septic condition, and framing before we price, so there’s no surprise change order after demo. Call (855) 341-3461 to get your written estimate.
