ADU Company in Stanton, CA
Kitchen remodeling in Stanton usually means working inside a 1950s or 1960s tract home where the original footprint was never designed for how families cook and gather today. The walls are load-bearing in awkward places, the electrical panel is often maxed out, and the plumbing rough-ins date back to the Eisenhower era. We’re Cottage ADU Builders, and we’ve served Stanton since 2012. Call (866) 808-7312 to talk through what your kitchen could become.
Why Stanton Homes Are Different
Stanton’s housing stock is dominated by mid-20th-century tract homes on compact lots, many with detached garages and mature trees that have been growing for sixty or seventy years. When we open up a kitchen in Stanton, we’re almost always dealing with original 2×4 framing, galvanized supply lines, and electrical panels that were sized for a 1960s appliance load, not a modern induction cooktop and double wall ovens. The city’s tight parcel sizes mean interior remodeling is often the smartest way to add livable space without fighting setback requirements for an addition.
The climate matters too. Stanton gets intense summer sun, so kitchens with west-facing walls absorb real heat in the late afternoon. We factor that into window placement, ventilation choices, and insulation upgrades. Santa Ana winds in the fall can push dust through older window seals, which is one more reason the exterior envelope and interior finish work need to be addressed together rather than as separate projects. Homeowners in Stanton who plan a kitchen remodel alongside a garage-conversion ADU can sequence the plumbing and electrical work once instead of paying for it twice.
Our Main Stanton Services
Stanton homeowners typically call us about two projects: adding a permitted ADU to a compact lot, or remodeling a kitchen or bathroom inside the main house. Here’s how each works in Stanton specifically.
ADU Builders in Stanton
Stanton’s small-lot single-family homes make ADUs the rare path to added housing capacity, but the city’s tight parcel sizes and older tract construction mean each project must be individually engineered for setbacks and utility upgrades rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. We handle site feasibility, permit drawings, foundation work, and utility connections for detached units, often converting or replacing aging garages in the process. Learn more on our ADU Builders in Stanton page, where we break down the local costs and process in detail.
Bathroom Remodeling in Stanton
Bathrooms in Stanton’s 1950s and 1960s tract homes were built small, often with original cast-iron drain lines and tile set in mortar beds that have started to fail. We remove the old work down to the studs, replace outdated plumbing and venting, and rebuild with waterproofing systems that hold up to daily use. See our Bathroom Remodeling in Stanton page for the full scope and current pricing.

Kitchen Remodeling in Stanton
Kitchen remodeling in Stanton is about more than new cabinets and counters. Most kitchens in this city’s 1950s and 1960s tract homes are original or only cosmetically updated: the wall between the kitchen and living room is often load-bearing, the range sits on a gas line that no longer meets current code, and the panel can’t handle a modern appliance load. Add Stanton’s hot summer sun beating on west-facing kitchen walls, and you also need to think about ventilation, window glazing, and insulation. We plan the whole project from the first structural assessment through the final punch-list, and our Kitchen Remodeling work is done by the same crew that handles permitted ADUs, so we’re used to working within Stanton’s compact home constraints.

The layout fights you every day: no landing space next to the range, one person can work at a time, and storage has you stacking pots in the garage.

A full kitchen remodel in Stanton typically runs $35,000 to $65,000 depending on cabinet grade, appliance selection, and whether you move plumbing or electrical.
How we do it
We start with a structural assessment, move or remove walls as needed (pulling permits and engineering for load-bearing changes), rough in new plumbing and electrical, then finish with cabinets, counters, flooring, and appliance installation.
Kitchen Cabinet Replacement
Signs you need it
Your cabinet boxes are particleboard and swollen at the sink base, hinges are failing, or the door style and layout no longer work for how you cook.

FAQs About ADU Company in Stanton
We typically schedule estimates in Stanton within two to four business days. For kitchen and bathroom remodels we walk the existing space, check the panel and plumbing, and give you a written estimate within about a week. Call (866) 808-7312 to get on the calendar.
Most Stanton tract homes do not have HOAs, but if yours does, interior work like a kitchen remodel usually only requires city permits, not HOA review. We’ll help you confirm the requirements for your specific property before you commit.
Yes. That’s one of the main reasons Stanton homeowners hire us: we can build a detached ADU and remodel the main house kitchen or bathroom under one contractor relationship, which means one permit sequence, one schedule, and one point of contact. A second unit shouldn’t mean a second contractor.

What Stanton 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."
— Shane Miller"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."
— Amanda Walsh"The kitchenette layout he suggested made better use of the space than the one on our original sketch."
— Lucia Flores
