ADU Company in Pomona, CA
Kitchen remodeling in Pomona takes a different shape than in nearby foothill cities, and it starts with the house itself. Most homes in the 91766 and 91767 core were built between the 1920s and 1960s, which means small galley kitchens, load-bearing walls where you’d least expect them, and floor plans that were never designed for a modern family. Add the inland San Gabriel Valley heat, and you need materials that hold up when the kitchen hits 90 degrees in September. At Harvest ADU Builders, we handle the full kitchen scope in Pomona, from tearing out a 1950s ranch kitchen to finishing a brand-new ADU kitchen. Call (866) 538-0916 to talk through your project.
Why Pomona Homes Are Different
Pomona’s housing stock is overwhelmingly single-story stucco bungalows and Spanish-revival ranches from the pre-war and mid-century eras. These homes sit on long lots with detached or attached garages, and many of the older kitchens share a wall with a service porch or an alley-facing garage. When we gut a 1940s kitchen in the downtown bungalow belt, we’re almost always working around original structural framing, knob-and-tube remnants, and slab foundations that have settled unevenly over 80 years. The city’s inland climate pushes summer temperatures well past what coastal LA sees, so ventilation, A/C routing, and insulation choices matter more than they would in Claremont or La Verne. Santa Ana winds in the fall also mean exterior kitchen vents and range hoods need proper flashing and fire-rated detailing. The result is that Pomona kitchens need more discovery work upfront, but the payoff is a remodel sized to the actual house, not a template.
Our Main Pomona Services
Two services dominate the calls we get from Pomona homeowners: full ADU construction and bathroom remodeling. Here’s what each one involves in this city.
ADU Builders in Pomona
Pomona’s deep lots and alley-adjacent garages make it one of the easier San Gabriel Valley cities for detached and garage-conversion ADUs. We work with homeowners across the 91766 and 91768 zip codes who are converting old detached garages or building rear-lot units for Cal Poly Pomona student rentals and multigenerational family housing. The older garages here often need structural reinforcement and foundation repair before conversion, and the city’s alley access means many rear-lot ADUs go in without cutting a new driveway. We match you to the right build method, prefab or site-built, based on your lot and budget. See the full scope at ADU Builders in Pomona.
Bathroom Remodeling in Pomona
Bathrooms in Pomona’s 1920s-1960s homes run small, often 5 feet by 8, with cast-iron plumbing that’s reached the end of its life. We rebuild these bathrooms with modern waterproofing, exhaust ventilation sized for the inland heat, and layouts that work for multigenerational households, which are common in the 91766 and 91767 neighborhoods. The work often includes subfloor repair where decades of slab movement have cracked old tile. Read the full breakdown at Bathroom Remodeling in Pomona.

Kitchen Remodeling in Pomona
Kitchen remodeling in Pomona usually means one of two things: bringing a 1940s-1960s kitchen up to modern code and layout, or finishing the kitchen inside a newly built ADU. The older bungalows around the downtown core have small, closed-off kitchens with load-bearing walls that constrain what can be opened up, while the newer east-side tract homes offer more square footage but often have dated layouts from the 1980s and 1990s. The inland climate means we specify range hoods with real CFM, insulate exterior kitchen walls properly, and route A/C supply lines so the kitchen stays cool during Pomona’s hot summers. We’re the same team that builds ADUs from the ground up, so a detached-ADU kitchen gets the same attention as a main-house remodel.

Galley Kitchen Expansion
Signs you need it
Your Pomona bungalow has a narrow one-cook kitchen with no landing space and a refrigerator that blocks a doorway.
What it costs in Pomona
Galley kitchen expansions in Pomona typically run $45,000 to $85,000 depending on whether we remove a bearing wall and how much structural work the 1940s-1960s framing requires.
How we do it
We assess the load path, engineer a beam or header, reframe the opening, relocate plumbing and electrical, then rebuild the kitchen with full-depth cabinets, new countertops, and a working layout that handles two cooks.
ADU Kitchen Build-Out
Signs you need it
You’ve built or bought an ADU shell and now need a functional kitchen that meets California code for a rental or family unit.
What it costs in Pomona
Full ADU kitchen build-outs in Pomona start around $18,000 and run up to $35,000 based on finish level, appliance package, and whether we’re working in a prefab unit or a site-built structure.
How we do it
We size the kitchen to the ADU’s floor plan, run dedicated circuits, install code-compliant ventilation, and finish with cabinets, counters, sink, and appliances so the unit is move-in ready.

How long does a kitchen remodel take in Pomona?
Most Pomona kitchen remodels run 6 to 10 weeks from demo to final walkthrough. Older homes in the 91766 core can add a week or two when we uncover foundation issues or outdated wiring that needs correction before rough inspection. Call (866) 538-0916 for a timeline specific to your house.
Do you pull permits for Pomona kitchen remodels?
Yes, we pull all required Pomona building permits and schedule every inspection. Structural changes, electrical, and plumbing all require city review, and we handle that process from plan submittal through final sign-off. Call (866) 538-0916 to get your project started.

What Pomona 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."
— Vikram Sharma"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."
— Heather Rhodes"The kitchenette layout he suggested made better use of the space than the one on our original sketch."
— Marco Reyes
