From templating a slab around an undermount sink to bonding a waterproof membrane over a sloped shower pan, our team handles the parts of the job that never show and always matter. Serving Riverside and the surrounding communities of Rubidoux, Moreno Valley and Corona, we keep one crew on your house until the punch list is clear.

Kitchen Remodeling in Riverside
A kitchen remodel is the largest interior project most homeowners ever commission, and it is the one where scope decides everything. Replacing doors and countertops is a two-week job. Moving a wall is a permit, an engineer and six weeks.
We handle the full range.
| Kitchen service | What it covers | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Full kitchen remodel | Demo through final walkthrough, all trades | Original or once-updated kitchens |
| Luxury kitchen remodel | Custom cabinetry, slab selection, integrated appliances | Hawarden Hills, Alessandro Heights, Canyon Crest |
| Open concept conversion | Wall removal, beam and header work, utility rerouting | Closed-off 1960s and 70s floor plans |
| Kitchen expansion or addition | New square footage, foundation and roof tie-in | Small original kitchens in older homes |
| Custom cabinet installation | Framed or frameless boxes, built to the room | Out-of-square walls, unusual layouts |
| Cabinet refacing | New doors, drawer fronts and veneer over sound boxes | Good layout, tired finishes |
| Countertop replacement | Templating, fabrication, seams, sink cutouts | The highest-return single upgrade |
We also build kitchen islands with the plumbing and electrical run properly through a slab, install tile and slab backsplashes, construct outdoor kitchens suited to a climate that allows cooking outside most of the year, and handle condo and townhome kitchens where the HOA approves the work before the city does. Most projects start with kitchen design and 3D planning, because seeing the elevation before demo is cheaper than changing your mind after the cabinets arrive.
Bathroom Remodeling in Riverside
Bathrooms are smaller, denser and less forgiving. Six trades work inside 40 to 120 square feet, in sequence, and one layer of waterproofing done badly shows up as a stain on a ceiling two years later.
We remodel every bath type in the house.
| Bathroom project | Typical scope | Honest range |
|---|---|---|
| Half bath and powder room | Toilet, sink, floor, lighting, no wet area | $4,500 to $10,000 |
| Small bathroom under 50 sq ft | Full demo, shower or tub, vanity, tile | $6,000 to $15,000 |
| Guest and hall bathroom | Full fixture set, tub-shower or stall, storage | $8,000 to $22,000 |
| Master bathroom | Double vanity, separate tub and shower, mid-grade | $15,000 to $30,000 |
| Luxury master suite | Layout change, stone, steam and spa systems | $30,000 to $80,000 and up |
| Accessible and aging-in-place | Curbless entry, grab bar blocking, comfort-height fixtures | $15,000 to $25,000 typical |
Those are market ranges, not quotes. The number moves with the finish level, whether fixtures relocate, and what the demo crew finds behind the tile.
We also handle full bathroom remodeling across every type, layout reconfiguration when the room needs to work differently rather than just look better, wet room conversions where the entire room becomes the wet area, shared Jack-and-Jill baths between two bedrooms, condo bathrooms with stack plumbing that cannot move, new bathroom additions where none existed before, lower-level and below-grade baths in hillside and split-level homes, and historic bathroom renovation in the Wood Streets and the older core.

Riverside was incorporated in 1883 and built out in waves, and the housing tells that story. The Wood Streets, Downtown, Eastside and Northside carry the oldest stock, where original layouts were designed around one bathroom and a closed kitchen. The tract belt through La Sierra, Arlanza, Arlington, Magnolia Center and Ramona went up during the postwar expansion. Hawarden Hills, Alessandro Heights, Canyon Crest, Victoria, Mission Grove and Orangecrest hold the higher-value hillside and newer-tract housing.
That last figure matters more than it looks. Three people sharing a single hall bath is the most common reason a Riverside homeowner calls a remodeler.
The climate adds its own pressure. Riverside is semi-arid, taking 9.39 inches of rain a year across only 35 days of measurable precipitation, and August runs a monthly mean of 79.8 degrees against a record of 118. Hard water is the consequence. Calcium and magnesium deposits clog shower heads, cut flow and haze glass enclosures, which is why we specify valves and fixtures that can be serviced and descaled rather than sealed units that simply get replaced.
What Kitchen and Bathroom Remodeling Costs in Riverside
We publish ranges rather than a single number, because the honest answer depends on four things.
Scope. Relocating a toilet, tub or wall typically adds $3,000 to $10,000 over a same-footprint bathroom remodel, because a toilet drain needs specific pipe size and fall, and on a slab foundation that means cutting and re-pouring concrete.
Finish level. Installed bathroom cost runs roughly $80 to $120 per square foot for a cosmetic refresh, $180 to $280 for the mid-range work most families choose, $300 to $450 at the high end, and $500 to $800 and up for custom estate work. Small bathrooms cost more per square foot than large ones, because demo, plumbing and waterproofing are mostly fixed costs spread over less area.
Materials. On the kitchen side this is the biggest lever. Cabinet construction, door material, countertop material and slab count, and the appliance package swing a kitchen budget further than square footage does.
What is behind the walls. Pre-1980 homes turn up galvanized supply lines, undersized panels and framing that is not where the plans say. We price what we can see and tell you plainly what we cannot.
How We Work
| Stage | What happens | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|
| In-home measure and scope | Measure, as-built notes, written scope with line items | 1 visit |
| Design and selections | Layout, 3D views, cabinet and material selections | 1 to 3 weeks |
| Permits and plan check | Submitted to the City of Riverside where the scope requires it | Varies by scope |
| Demolition and rough-in | Tear-out, framing, plumbing and electrical rough, inspection | 3 to 8 days |
| Waterproofing, tile and cabinetry | Membrane and pan, tile, cabinet set, template for counters | 1 to 3 weeks |
| Fixtures, counters and finish | Slab install, plumbing trim, glass, punch list, walkthrough | 1 to 2 weeks |
Most single bathrooms run two to four weeks on site. Most kitchens run six to ten. Stone slabs and custom glass are the long poles, so we order those the week selections are locked rather than the week they are needed.
Licensed, Insured and Permitted
California requires a licensed contractor for work of this scale. We carry a California contractor license and general liability coverage, and a certificate is available before we start. Remodels that move plumbing, gas or electrical, or that alter walls, generally require permits from the City of Riverside, and we pull them rather than leaving that to you. On bathrooms, the waterproofing inspection is the one that protects you, because it happens while the assembly is still open and correcting it is cheap.
Condo and townhome work runs through the association as well as the city. That means architectural review, approved work hours, elevator and freight access, and a certificate of insurance naming the HOA. We have done that paperwork enough times to know what each board asks for.

Why Homeowners Choose Riverside Kitchen & Bath Remodeling
One crew, one schedule, one point of contact. We do not hand your house to a rotating cast of subs and disappear until the invoice. The written scope you sign lists what is included and what is not, so a change order is a real change rather than a surprise. We protect the rest of the house with floor covering and dust containment, because a bathroom remodel should not resurface as drywall dust in your bedroom. Our license number, insurance certificate and references are available before you commit to anything.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a kitchen or bathroom remodel cost in Riverside?
Bathrooms commonly run $4,500 to $10,000 for a powder room, $6,000 to $15,000 for a small bath, $15,000 to $30,000 for a standard primary bath, and $30,000 and up for a luxury suite. Kitchens vary too widely for one figure, because cabinet construction, countertop material and whether walls or utilities move drive the number more than square footage does. We quote after we measure.
How long will my remodel take?
Most single bathrooms run two to four weeks on site. Most kitchens run six to ten weeks. Add lead time for stone slabs, custom cabinetry and custom glass, which we order as soon as selections are locked.
Do you serve my ZIP code?
We cover all of Riverside across 92501 through 92509, plus Rubidoux, Moreno Valley and Corona, and we take projects in Chino Hills, Yorba Linda, Diamond Bar, Walnut and Orange. Call (951) 589-3364 and we will confirm your address.
Do I need a permit, and do you pull it?
Work that moves plumbing, gas or electrical, or that alters walls, generally requires a permit from the City of Riverside. We handle the application and the inspections. Condo projects also need HOA architectural approval, which we help assemble.
Can I live in the house during the work?
Usually yes for a kitchen, if you accept a temporary setup for cooking and dishes. For a bathroom it depends on whether it is your only full bath. We sequence single-bathroom homes to keep the room usable as long as possible and tell you exactly which days it will not be.
Is the estimate free?
Yes. The in-home measure and the written scope cost nothing. Full design work with 3D views is a separate fee, and it is typically credited toward the build when you move forward.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. a current California contractor license and general liability coverage. We will send the certificate before work starts.
Should I reface my cabinets or replace them?
Reface when the boxes are sound and the layout already works. Replace when the boxes are water damaged or failing, or when you actually want the layout to change. We will tell you which one you are looking at rather than selling you the bigger job.
What warranty do you offer?
We warrant our workmanship, and manufacturer warranties on cabinets, fixtures and surfaces pass through to you. Exact terms are written into your contract rather than promised verbally.
