AfterConstruction in Chino Hills, CA
Kitchen remodeling in Chino Hills typically runs $14,000-$45,000, and the homes we work in are mostly late-1980s through early-2000s stucco tract builds on cut-and-fill hillside pads. Those pads sit on expansive Puente Hills clay that moves with every rain season, so cabinets, slabs, and plumbing rough-ins have to be checked for heave before finish work starts. Call (470) 298-9650 for a written price before anyone picks up a tool.
Why Chino Hills Homes Are Different
The housing stock here is almost entirely planned tract construction from the late 1980s through the early 2000s: stucco over wood frame, mass-graded cut-and-fill lots, and streets that climb. That geometry matters. The same montmorillonite clay that makes Chino Hills hillsides green in spring also swells and shrinks through the dry season, and we routinely find cracked slabs, door frames out of square, and retaining walls that have crept an inch or two on homes built 30 to 40 years ago.
Fire hardening is the other variable no other nearby city deals with to the same degree. Nearly all of Chino Hills sits in a CAL FIRE Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, and the city enforces Chapter 7A ignition-resistant standards on any substantial remodel or addition: ember-resistant vents, Class A roof assemblies, and fire-rated wall details where setbacks are tight. A kitchen addition on a hillside in Chino Hills is not the same permit as a kitchen remodel in Chino or Montclair. We plan for both soil movement and ember exposure from the first site walk, because the inspector will check both.
Our Main Chino Hills Services
Two trades get the most calls from Chino Hills homeowners, and both have dedicated pages with local pricing and conditions.
Fence Installation in Chino Hills
Hillside lots and clay soil make fence posts a real engineering question here, not just a weekend project. Wind accelerates through the canyons during Santa Ana events, and posts set in expansive clay can heave within two seasons if the footing is not right. Our Fence Installation in Chino Hills page covers line-by-fence pricing, setback rules, and what we do differently on grade changes.
Driveway & Pavers in Chino Hills
South-facing slopes in Chino Hills see surface temperatures well over 105°F in summer, which shortens concrete cure windows and warps cheap composite materials. Paver driveways on compacted bases handle clay movement better than monolithic slabs, but only if the base is built for it. See Driveway & Pavers in Chino Hills for paver and concrete pricing, drainage notes, and what happens when old cut-and-fill pads shift under flatwork.

BeforeAfterKitchen Remodeling in Chino Hills
A kitchen remodel in Chino Hills often means taking a 1990s tract kitchen down to studs in a house where the slab has moved slightly since it was poured. We open walls and check floor flatness before cabinet layout is final, because cabinet lines that looked square on paper will not be square after thirty years of clay heave. Our Kitchen Remodeling work includes a written scope and a flat price before demolition starts, and every change order is signed before the work happens.
Full Kitchen Remodeling
Signs you need it
Original 1990s layouts with a peninsula blocking flow, failing particleboard cabinet boxes, or a slab that has moved enough to crack tile and separate countertops from walls.
What it costs in Chino Hills
A full kitchen remodel in Chino Hills runs $14,000-$45,000 depending on cabinet line, countertop material, and how much structural floor correction the old slab needs.
How we do it
We demo to studs, measure slab flatness with a laser, install or shim new cabinet runs, set countertops, and run the new plumbing and electrical to written spec before any finish surface goes in.
Cabinets & Countertops
Signs you need it
Drawer slides that drag, hinges pulling out of particleboard, laminate counters that have bubbled at the seams, or doors that no longer close square against the frames.
What it costs in Chino Hills
Cabinet installation alone typically runs $4,000-$13,000, and countertop installation $2,000-$6,500 in Chino Hills, depending on the material and run length.
How we do it
We set cabinet runs dead level on the existing slab, scribe fillers to any wall that has drifted, and template countertops after the cabinets are installed so stone or quartz sits flush on the first pass.
What Kitchen Remodeling Costs in Chino Hills
| Item | Typical range in Chino Hills |
|---|---|
| Full kitchen remodel | $14,000-$45,000 |
| Small kitchen remodel | $9,000-$20,000 |
| Kitchen island installation | $3,000-$10,000 |
Does a Chino Hills kitchen remodel require fire-rated materials?
If the remodel includes exterior wall penetrations or is part of an addition, Chapter 7A ignition-resistant requirements can apply. We spec ember-resistant vents and fire-rated assemblies where the building department requires them. Call (470) 298-9650 and we will tell you what applies to your street.
Will my kitchen cabinets sit level on an old Chino Hills slab?
Not always. We laser-check the floor before cabinet layout, and on 1990s cut-and-fill homes we often shim or plane to correct for heave. The written quote accounts for that work up front. Call (470) 298-9650 for a flat written price.
Bathroom Remodeling in Chino Hills
Bathroom remodels in Chino Hills usually mean working inside 30-to-40-year-old tract bathrooms where the slab has moved, the original fiberglass pan has micro-cracked, and the ventilation was never adequate for a house that bakes at 105°F every summer. Moisture plus heat plus clay movement is the local failure pattern. Our Bathroom Remodeling work starts with a written flat price and a written scope, and every change order is signed before any new work proceeds.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Signs you need it
Cracked grout or loose tile at the pan, water staining on the ceiling below, a shower floor that drains away from the drain, or a curb that has shifted off the slab.
What it costs in Chino Hills
Walk-in shower installation in Chino Hills typically runs $4,500-$12,000, and shower replacement $3,000-$8,500, depending on tile coverage and what the framing and subfloor reveal after demo.
How we do it
We demo to studs, inspect the subfloor and any slab cracks, build a properly sloped waterproof membrane tied to a new drain, then tile and grout to written spec with a documented photo record of every hidden layer.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Signs you need it
A cast iron or acrylic tub in a bathroom that no longer makes sense for the household, a tub that leaks at the tile flange, or a bathroom where standing in the tub is no longer safe.
What it costs in Chino Hills
A tub-to-shower conversion in Chino Hills runs $3,500-$10,000 depending on whether the plumbing rough-in moves and how much tile work the new footprint requires.
How we do it
We remove the tub, set the new drain and valve, build a sloped mud bed or pre-sloped pan with a waterproof membrane, and finish with tile, glass, and a code-clear opening.
What Bathroom Remodeling Costs in Chino Hills
| Item | Typical range in Chino Hills |
|---|---|
| Full bathroom remodel | $9,000-$28,000 |
| Small bathroom remodel | $5,000-$12,000 |
| Bathroom vanity installation | $800-$3,000 |
Why do Chino Hills bathroom floors crack?
Montmorillonite clay under the older cut-and-fill pads swells and shrinks with seasonal moisture, moving the slab enough to crack tile and separate a pan from the drain. We check slab flatness and crack patterns before we set any waterproofing. Call (470) 298-9650 for an exact written price.
How long does a Chino Hills bathroom remodel take?
Most full bathroom remodels run two to four weeks once permits are issued, and the city inspection schedule in Chino Hills adds time on top of construction. We sequence demo, rough-in, and finish work around the inspector’s calendar. Call (470) 298-9650 to get a written schedule with your quote.
Roofing in Chino Hills
Roofing in Chino Hills is driven by two forces: original 1990s concrete tile and composition roofs that have passed their service life, and Santa Ana wind events that throw embers into neighborhoods where nearly every street sits inside a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone. A roof replacement here has to satisfy Chapter 7A Class A assembly standards, not just a tear-off and re-cover. Our Roofing work includes a written flat price, a signed scope, and a documented photo record of every layer from deck to ridge cap.
Roof Replacement & Installation
Signs you need it
Original 1990s composition shingles with granule loss, cracked concrete tile from repeated heat cycling, or a roof that has been re-covered once already and is now at the end of its second layer.
What it costs in Chino Hills
A full roof replacement in Chino Hills runs $8,000-$20,000, depending on the roofing type, the number of existing layers to tear off, and whether the sheathing under the old roof is still sound.
How we do it
We tear down to deck and inspect the sheathing, install new underlayment, edge metal, and a Class A assembly per Chapter 7A standards, then finish with the roofing material specified in the written quote.
Tile Roofing
Signs you need it
Cracked or shifted tiles after Santa Ana wind events, broken tiles near valleys or penetrations, or water staining inside the house after heavy rain.
What it costs in Chino Hills
Tile roof repair in Chino Hills runs $600-$2,500 for a standard repair, while full tile roof replacement falls inside the broader $8,000-$20,000 roof replacement range depending on tile type and underlayment condition.
How we do it
We remove the broken or shifted tiles, inspect the underlayment below, replace any failed metal flashing, and reset the tiles with a documented photo record of the repair before we leave.
What Roofing Costs in Chino Hills
| Item | Typical range in Chino Hills |
|---|---|
| Roof replacement | $8,000-$20,000 |
| Roof repair | $400-$1,800 |
| Tile roof repair | $600-$2,500 |
Does every Chino Hills roof need Class A fire-rated materials?
For any replacement in the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, yes: the building department will require a Class A assembly under Chapter 7A. Ember-resistant vents and specific underlayment details are part of that. Call (470) 298-9650 for a written price that already includes the fire-hardening scope.
Can I just re-cover my existing Chino Hills roof instead of tearing off?
California building code in Chino Hills generally does not allow more than two layers, and a re-cover hides deck damage that Santa Ana winds and 105°F summers have already caused. We recommend a full tear-down to inspect the sheathing. Call (470) 298-9650 for a flat written quote.
Windows & Doors in Chino Hills
Original 1990s aluminum windows and hollow-core doors in Chino Hills are now 30 years old, and most of them were never rated for the heat and wind this city actually gets. Cracked seals, failed stucco returns, and warped south-facing door slabs are common. Our Windows & Doors work includes a written flat price and a documented photo record of every opening before and after, so you see what we saw.
Window Replacement
Signs you need it
Fogged glass units where the seal has failed, aluminum frames that sweat in winter and burn in summer, or windows painted into the frame because the original install was never flashed correctly.
What it costs in Chino Hills
Window replacement in Chino Hills runs $4,500-$15,000 for a typical multi-window job, depending on the number of openings and whether the frames are retrofitted or new construction.
How we do it
We measure each opening and check for stucco damage at the return, remove the old sash and frame, set the new unit level and square, and flash and seal the perimeter before re-casing the interior.
Impact Windows & Doors
Signs you need it
Homes on ridgelines or canyon-adjacent streets where Santa Ana winds regularly hit 70-plus mph, or homeowners who want one window upgrade that helps with both wind and sound.
What it costs in Chino Hills
Impact window installation in Chino Hills runs $8,000-$25,000, depending on the opening count and whether the upgrade also includes impact-rated door slabs or just the windows.
How we do it
We order the units with the glass and frame rating specified in the written quote, remove the old openings, set the new impact-rated frames, and flash them to the existing stucco per the manufacturer’s written detail.
What Windows & Doors Costs in Chino Hills
| Item | Typical range in Chino Hills |
|---|---|
| Window replacement | $4,500-$15,000 |
| Impact window installation | $8,000-$25,000 |
Why do Chino Hills doors and windows fail on the south side first?
South-facing walls in the canyons receive direct sun at surface temperatures above 120°F in summer, which breaks down frame seals, warps composite slabs, and embrittles old aluminum extrusions faster than anywhere else on the house. Call (470) 298-9650 for a written quote that accounts for the exposure on your specific wall.
Will new windows change my Chino Hills energy bill?
Most homeowners see a measurable drop in cooling cost during the July-through-September stretch, especially if the originals were single-pane aluminum. The difference depends on glass package and orientation. Call (470) 298-9650 for a written estimate.
Home Additions & ADU in Chino Hills
Home additions and ADUs in Chino Hills bring two problems together: the same Chapter 7A fire-hardening rules that govern the rest of the city, and lot geometry where every new foundation sits on expansive Puente Hills clay. A detached ADU here usually needs geotechnical review, specific footing depth, and fire-rated exterior details before the first board is cut. Our Home Additions & ADU work carries a written flat price, a signed scope, and a documented photo record on every visit.
New Detached ADU
Signs you need it
A rear yard with enough buildable area under Chino Hills lot-coverage rules, a household that needs separate living space, or a property owner looking at rental income from a legal unit.
What it costs in Chino Hills
A new detached ADU in Chino Hills runs $90,000-$220,000, depending on square footage, foundation requirements on the particular slope, and the fire-hardening details the city will require.
How we do it
We start with a geotechnical report and a site plan, pull the permits, excavate and pour the foundation per the engineer’s footing schedule, and frame, weatherproof, and finish the unit to the written scope.
Garage Conversion ADU
Signs you need it
An attached or detached garage that is no longer used for parking, a slab that is in acceptable condition for conversion, and a household that wants an ADU without the cost of a full new foundation.
What it costs in Chino Hills
A garage conversion ADU in Chino Hills runs $30,000-$80,000, depending on the condition of the existing slab, how much electrical and plumbing rough-in needs to run, and whether the garage was originally built to habitable standard.
How we do it
We inspect the slab for heave and cracks, frame interior partitions, run new plumbing and electrical, insulate and drywall, and finish the unit with the same written scope and photo record as every other project.
What Home Additions & ADU Costs in Chino Hills
| Item | Typical range in Chino Hills |
|---|---|
| Home addition | $45,000-$130,000 |
| ADU construction | $90,000-$220,000 |
| Garage conversion | $30,000-$80,000 |
Does a Chino Hills ADU need a geotechnical report?
On most hillside lots, yes. The city will ask for soil documentation on new foundations, and on cut-and-fill pads the engineer typically requires deeper footings than a flat-lot standard detail. Call (470) 298-9650 for a written scope that includes the geotech step.
Will my Chino Hills ADU need fire-rated exterior details?
In the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, the answer is usually yes: ember-resistant vents, specific siding or stucco details, and sometimes tempered glazing on the exposure side. Call (470) 298-9650 and we will tell you what applies to your address.

Both are predictable once we have looked at the site, and that is the whole point: the written price we hand you before any work starts already includes those local conditions, because we have built here long enough to know they are not optional.
