ADU Company in Bloomington, CA
Kitchen remodeling in Bloomington typically costs $22,000 – $64,000 for a full gut renovation, and most jobs run five to eight weeks. That’s the direct answer, but what matters more is how a Bloomington kitchen gets there: the housing stock is largely 1950s-1970s wood-frame stucco on oversized lots, and many homes still run on septic, which means moving a sink or adding a gas line demands county-level coordination that out-of-area contractors don’t anticipate. Fullerton ADU Builders has served Bloomington since 2017, and we match every kitchen to the home’s bones and the homeowner’s budget rather than forcing a one-size plan.

Why Bloomington Homes Are Different
Bloomington sits unincorporated in San Bernardino County, and that single fact changes almost every kitchen and bath project here. The lots are deep and wide, often 8,000 to 12,000 square feet, and the homes were built between the 1950s and 1970s, when kitchens were walled off, ceilings were lower, and electrical panels were sized for a different era. When we open a Bloomington kitchen, we expect to find 2×4 framing, original cast-iron drain lines, and a 100-amp panel that will not carry a modern induction range plus a dishwasher plus a microwave without an upgrade.
The climate pushes decisions too. Bloomington summers climb past 100°F regularly, and the Santa Ana winds kick up dust and dry heat in the fall. Kitchens here need ventilation that actually moves hot air out, finishes that won’t warp when the humidity swings, and flooring that stands up to tracked-in dust from those big backyards. We also pay close attention to whether a home is on sewer or septic, because that answer determines how freely we can relocate plumbing. On septic systems, moving a kitchen sink to an island often requires a county permit pathway that catches contractors who mostly work inside Rialto or Fontana city limits.
Our Main Bloomington Services
We focus on the three projects Bloomington homeowners bring up most: building an ADU on an oversized lot, bringing a dated kitchen up to modern standards, and overhauling a bathroom that hasn’t been touched since the house was built. Here’s how the two most-requested jobs break down.
ADU Builders in Bloomington
An ADU on a Bloomington lot is more complicated than in a city-serviced neighborhood, and that’s exactly where our experience pays off. The biggest variable is septic versus sewer: many older properties in the 92316 ZIP need a septic upgrade or a sewer connection before the county will issue the ADU permit. We handle the county planning department’s requirements directly, including setback rules that differ from Rialto and Fontana. Because we work with seven prefab manufacturers, we can recommend a unit that fits your specific lot shape, whether that’s a compact one-bedroom or a two-story unit for extended family. ADU Builders in Bloomington covers prefab and site-built pathways with fixed upfront pricing.
Bathroom Remodeling in Bloomington
Bloomington bathrooms from the 1960s and 1970s were built small, often with original tile set in thick mortar beds that make demolition heavier than homeowners expect. Add in the dry, hot climate, and you get cracked grout, failing caulk, and exhaust fans that were never strong enough to begin with. We rebuild these bathrooms with moisture-resistant drywall, proper ventilation, and waterproofing systems rated for daily use. If the home is on septic, we also confirm drain line condition before we set the new fixtures, so you’re not paying for a surprise repair six months later. Bathroom Remodeling in Bloomington covers full and partial remodels with written line-item quotes.

Kitchen Remodeling in Bloomington
Bloomington kitchens from the 1950s-1970s were built as closed-off workrooms, and homeowners now want them opened into living space without losing the storage those big lots seem to promise but the floor plans never delivered. The heat and dust of the Inland Empire demand materials that stay flat and finishes that resist grime, while septic homes sometimes restrict how far we can move a sink without county involvement. We plan around those constraints from the first walkthrough, so the remodel fits the house the way it actually sits in Bloomington, not the way a catalog photo looks. For the full scope of what a kitchen project can include, see Kitchen Remodeling.
Full kitchen renovation
Signs you need it
Your cabinets are delaminating at the corners, the layout has you walking into the refrigerator to open the oven, and the electrical panel can’t support a second high-draw appliance.
What it costs in Bloomington
A full kitchen gut in Bloomington runs $38,000 – $64,000 depending on cabinet grade, countertop material, and how much plumbing or electrical has to move.
How we do it
We demo to the studs, reroute plumbing and electrical to the new layout, install cabinets and counters, then finish with backsplash, flooring, and fixtures under a single crew.
Minor kitchen update
Signs you need it
The boxes of your cabinets are still solid but the faces are worn, the counters are stained, and the appliances still work but look fifteen years old.
What it costs in Bloomington
A cosmetic refresh with refaced cabinets, new counters, and a tile backsplash typically lands between $22,000 and $38,000 in Bloomington.
How we do it
We reface or paint the existing cabinet boxes, swap counters and sinks, replace dated lighting, and install a new backsplash, leaving the footprint untouched.
What Kitchen Remodeling Costs in Bloomington
| Item | Typical range in Bloomington |
|---|---|
| Full kitchen renovation | $38,000 – $64,000 |
| Minor kitchen update | $22,000 – $38,000 |
| Countertop replacement | $4,500 – $10,000 |
Several Bloomington-specific factors push kitchen prices to the higher end: homes on septic often need a county plumbing review when the sink moves, older panels usually require a service upgrade to 200 amps, and the heat means we recommend ventilation upgrades that smaller bids skip. We write every estimate as a fixed-price line-item quote, so the number we give you is the number you pay unless you change the scope.
How long does a full kitchen remodel take in Bloomington?
Five to eight weeks is the typical window for a full-gut kitchen in Bloomington, with septic or panel upgrades adding one to two weeks at the front end. Call (877) 801-4497 and we’ll map a schedule for your exact scope.
Will moving my sink trigger a septic review?
Yes, when a Bloomington home is on septic, relocating a kitchen sink usually requires county sign-off on the drain line routing, which adds time and paperwork. We handle that review as part of the bid rather than discovering it mid-job.

What Bloomington Customers Say
"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."
— Greg Reed"Detached unit in the back yard. Utilities trenched, separate meter, and it passed final on the first inspection."
— Erin Ziegler"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."
— Tim Padgett
