The local housing profile decides most of what we install. Cabinet replacement is the largest category: new boxes built to the actual wall dimensions rather than the standard 3-inch increments a builder ordered in bulk. Face frame or frameless European, plywood or MDF, with lazy Susans and blind corner pull-outs in the dead corners.
Countertops are the second category, usually an upgrade from entry-level granite to quartz, quartzite or porcelain slab. Quartz never needs sealing.
Whole-kitchen remodels follow. Most homes here already open toward the family room, so the work is less about removing walls than rebuilding the island, fixing the lighting and raising the finish level.
What Chino Hills Housing Stock Means for Your Remodel
The city incorporated on December 1, 1991 with roughly 42,000 residents, on former rural equestrian and dairy land. Nearly all the housing we work in came after: 1990s and 2000s hillside master-planned tract homes, mostly two-story, kitchen open to a great room.
Those kitchens aged predictably. The footprint is usually fine. The cabinets are builder-grade maple or cherry, and after twenty-five to thirty years the finish is worn at the hardware, the drawer boxes are stapled rather than dovetailed, and the doors no longer close square. The counters are entry-level granite. All of it hits replacement age at once, which is why most projects here are full cabinet and counter packages.
The lots are the other half of the job. Hillside parcels, often with steep or narrow driveways, plus Carbon Canyon Road, State Route 142, serving part of the city. A quartzite slab and a truckload of cabinet boxes have to reach the house, stage somewhere level, and move inside undamaged. We plan delivery, staging and dumpster placement before the first crew day.

Kitchen Remodel Cost in Chino Hills, CA
Median household income was $122,600 in 2023, per capita $49,460, and 71.6% of housing is owner-occupied. High income plus owners who stay is why projects here start above the cosmetic tier. These are market ranges, not a quote.
| Project type | Typical Chino Hills range |
|---|---|
| Mid-range full remodel | $30,000 to $65,000 |
| High-end remodel | $70,000 to $150,000+ |
| Custom cabinet installation | $15,000 to $50,000+ |
| Countertops only | $3,000 to $12,000 |
| Island installation | $4,500 to $22,000 |
What moves the number here:
1. Linear feet of cabinet run. Cabinets and counters price by the foot, and these two-story plans carry a long perimeter plus an island. 2. Cabinet grade. Replacing builder maple with custom is the biggest line on most Chino Hills budgets. 3. Countertop material. Granite runs roughly $40 to $100 per square foot installed, quartz $60 to $150, porcelain $70 to $160, quartzite $80 to $250. 4. Site access. A steep driveway or narrow approach adds labor to delivery and haul-off. 5. Permit scope. Electrical, plumbing, gas and structural work typically needs a City of Chino Hills permit. A counter swap does not.
How the Process Works
| Phase | What happens | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Field measure | Measurements, access and staging review | 1 visit |
| 2. Design and 3D | Layouts, elevations, selections | 1 to 3 weeks |

| 4. Permit and ordering | City of Chino Hills submittal, cabinet and slab orders | 2 to 6 weeks |
| 5. Demo and rough-in | Tear-out, framing, electrical, plumbing | 1 to 2 weeks |
| 6. Cabinets and template | Set and level boxes, template counters | 1 week |
| 7. Fabrication and install | Slab, backsplash, trim, appliances | 2 to 3 weeks |
| 8. Punch and closeout | Touch-up, final inspection, warranty docs | 2 to 5 days |
Why Chino Hills Homeowners Hire Us
Licensed statewide from a Riverside base. We hold a California contractor license through the CSLB, valid across California rather than in one county, in the classifications that cover general building and cabinet, millwork and finish carpentry.
Permits go through the City of Chino Hills. The city sits in San Bernardino County, so electrical, plumbing, gas or structural work is permitted through the City of Chino Hills, not Riverside County. Title 24 lighting and ventilation provisions and CalGreen requirements typically apply, and we design to them.
Insured, with a written warranty. We carry general liability coverage, provide a certificate before demolition, and back the work with a written workmanship warranty.
We plan hillside logistics first. Access, staging and haul-off get solved on the measure visit.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Chino Hills?
Mid-range full remodels typically run $30,000 to $65,000, high-end projects $70,000 to $150,000 or more. A cabinet and counter package on a 1990s tract kitchen usually lands mid-range.
Do I permit through Chino Hills or Riverside County?
Through the City of Chino Hills. The city is in San Bernardino County, so Riverside County has no jurisdiction. Permits are typically required for electrical, plumbing, gas or structural work.
Can you work on a steep hillside lot or in Carbon Canyon?
Yes. We review access, slab staging and dumpster placement at the field measure and price delivery accordingly.
My cabinets are builder maple from the 1990s. Reface or replace?
If the boxes are square and the layout works, refacing is cheaper. On most Chino Hills homes of that era the drawer boxes and hinges are worn out too, so replacement gives the better result.
How long does the work take?
Six to twelve weeks on site for a full remodel, plus two to six weeks of cabinet and slab lead time first. Countertop-only work finishes two to three weeks from template.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. We hold a CSLB-issued California Contractor License valid statewide and carry general liability insurance, with a certificate provided before work begins.
