ADU Company in Bloomington, CA
Kitchen remodeling in Bloomington usually means working inside a 1950s-to-1970s single-story stucco home where the original layout was built for a different era of living, and the biggest job is opening walls, reworking plumbing, and correcting unpermitted additions before new cabinets ever arrive. We handle that alongside ADU construction so the main house and the new unit get done by one contractor. That matters here because many Bloomington parcels carry detached garages, carports, or informal room additions that were never permitted, and if you’re planning an ADU later, the county will flag those. Call (833) 863-7015 and we’ll walk your property and tell you what you’re actually starting with.
Why Bloomington Homes Are Different
Bloomington is unincorporated San Bernardino County land, not a city. ADU permits, plan checks, and inspections all run through San Bernardino County Land Use Services rather than a municipal building department. That changes the timeline and the paperwork compared to neighboring Fontana or Rialto, and it means the local reviewers apply county standards to your lot, your setbacks, and any existing structures. We’ve been through enough Bloomington submittals to know which questions the county asks first, and we pull records before we draw anything.
The housing stock makes this even more specific. Most homes along the Valley Blvd and Cedar Ave corridor are mid-century tract builds with added-on rooms, enclosed patios, and detached garages that may or may not match county records. When we start a kitchen remodel or an ADU on those lots, the first task is often reconciling what the county thinks exists with what actually stands on the property. The semi-rural parcel pattern here also means larger setbacks and room for a detached ADU, but it also means dust, Santa Ana winds, and serious western-sun exposure in summer. Insulation and shade placement matter as much as floor plans.
Our Main Bloomington Services
Bloomington homeowners call us most often for two things: building a new ADU on a large county lot, and remodeling a bathroom in a mid-century home that has never been updated. Both are covered below.
ADU Builders in Bloomington
Most Bloomington ADU projects are detached new-builds or garage conversions on lots that already carry unpermitted additions. The county review will find those, so before we design anything, we pull San Bernardino County records and figure out what legally exists. From there, we match you to the right building system, whether that’s Abodu, Cover, Dvele, or a site-built approach, based on your lot dimensions, setback requirements, and budget. You pay for what fits your parcel, not for a brand someone happens to represent. ADU Builders in Bloomington has the full breakdown.
Bathroom Remodeling in Bloomington
Bathrooms in Bloomington’s 1950s and 1960s homes tend to be small, with cast-iron plumbing that’s nearing the end of its life and layouts that predate modern venting standards. A typical job here means gutting to the studs, replacing the waste and supply lines, and rebuilding with a layout that actually fits how people live now. We coordinate with the same county inspectors who handle ADU work, so if you’re planning both projects, we sequence them so the plumbing rough-ins and inspections overlap cleanly. Bathroom Remodeling in Bloomington covers what that looks like room by room.

Kitchen Remodeling in Bloomington
Kitchen remodeling in Bloomington means dealing with original 1950s-to-1970s floor plans, undersized electrical panels, and the county’s requirement that any unpermitted square footage touching the kitchen get resolved before final sign-off. The heat is the other half of it: a west-facing kitchen in August needs real ventilation, a correctly sized range hood, and appliances that won’t overwhelm an old panel. We design around that from day one, and because we also build ADUs, we can sequence the panel upgrade or water-heater relocation so it serves both projects instead of paying for it twice. See Kitchen Remodeling for the broader service.
Full Kitchen Gut and Rebuild
Signs you need it
You’ve got failing particleboard cabinets, a floor that slopes or squeaks, and supply lines that are original galvanized and visibly corroded at the fittings.
What it costs in Bloomington
A full gut-and-rebuild kitchen in Bloomington typically lands between $35,000 and $75,000 depending on cabinet grade, countertop material, and how much structural correction the floors and walls need.
How we do it
We demo to the studs, replace water and drain lines, add or repair subfloor, run new circuits, and rebuild with new cabinets, counters, lighting, and ventilation, pulling county permits and scheduling inspections at each stage.
Kitchen Layout and Structural Opening
Signs you need it
Your kitchen is walled off from the living area, the walkway is under 36 inches, and the room can’t handle more than one person working in it at a time.
What it costs in Bloomington
Removing a non-load-bearing wall and reworking the kitchen layout usually runs $15,000 to $35,000 in Bloomington, and if the wall is load-bearing, an engineer-checked beam adds to that.
How we do it
We confirm which walls carry load by checking the attic and, when needed, a structural engineer’s calc, then install an LVL or steel beam, reroute any electrical or plumbing in the wall, and finish the opening with clean, county-inspected work.
Cabinet and Countertop Replacement
Signs you need it
Your cabinet boxes are still square and solid, but the doors are delaminating, drawers won’t stay on their tracks, and the countertops are past a surface repair.
What it costs in Bloomington
Cabinet and countertop replacement without moving walls or plumbing in Bloomington typically runs $12,000 to $30,000, with the spread driven by whether you’re using stock, semi-custom, or fully custom boxes.
How we do it
We remove the old faces and tops without disturbing the drywall or floors more than necessary, then set new boxes, doors, drawer hardware, and counters, and tie in the sink and appliances with new shut-offs and supply lines.

What pushes a Bloomington job toward the upper end is almost always what’s hiding in the walls: original galvanized plumbing that fails when you touch it, undersized electrical panels that need a service upgrade, and unpermitted additions the county requires you to correct. Our quotes are line-item, fixed, and no change orders unless we hit a condition we could not see before opening the wall, and then we show you photos and a written price before we proceed.

FAQs About ADU Company in Bloomington
No. Bloomington is unincorporated San Bernardino County land, so all ADU and remodel permits go through San Bernardino County Land Use Services, not a city building department. That affects review times, inspection scheduling, and how existing unpermitted structures get handled.
Yes, and this is the most common surprise on Bloomington parcels. The county’s ADU review checks the entire property, and an unpermitted garage or added room on record as open or non-conforming can stall your permit until it’s resolved. We pull county records before design starts so you know what you’re dealing with.
Yes, and it’s usually cheaper to sequence them together because one set of mobilizations, one permit coordination effort, and shared trades cover both. We schedule rough-in and inspection dates so the ADU and the main-house remodel don’t fight each other. Call (833) 863-7015 for a combined-scope estimate, which is free.
