ADU Company in Newport Beach, CA
Kitchen remodeling in Newport Beach usually means working inside homes that were built anywhere from the 1920s to the 1980s, often on tight lots where every square foot counts. Holloway ADU Builders handles the full scope: tear-out, layout changes, cabinetry, counters, appliances, and the finishes that make a kitchen feel like it belongs in a coastal home. Whether your place is a Balboa Island cottage or a Dover Shores ranch, the job starts with a straight conversation about your budget and how you actually use the space. Call (855) 617-6356 to schedule a free estimate.
Why Newport Beach Homes Are Different
Newport Beach housing stock runs the full range: early-1900s beach cottages on Balboa Island and the Peninsula, mid-century single-story ranches in Dover Shores and Eastbluff, and modern luxury builds that replaced older homes along the bluffs and bayfront. That variety means no two kitchen remodels here follow the same template. A 1920s cottage on a 25-foot-wide lot has different structural bones than a 1970s ranch with a big open floor plan, and the right approach changes with the house.
Coastal salt air is the quiet variable that shapes material choices. Marine fog and airborne salt accelerate corrosion on hinges, drawer slides, and exposed metal fixtures. We specify stainless steel hardware rated for coastal environments and cabinetry finishes that hold up to humidity swings. Permitting in Newport Beach also moves at its own pace, and projects in older neighborhoods sometimes trigger design review when exterior walls or windows change. We factor that into the schedule before we touch a cabinet.
Our Main Newport Beach Services
Most Newport Beach homeowners reach out to us about two projects: building an ADU on a qualifying lot or remodeling a bathroom inside the main house. Here’s what each looks like here.
ADU Builders in Newport Beach
Newport Beach has some of the tightest ADU design standards in Orange County, especially in coastal zones where view corridors and parking rules come into play. We work with prefab and modular manufacturers including Abodu, Cover, and Dvele, and we also handle site-built ADUs and Tuff Shed conversions, so the approach matches your lot and the city’s requirements. On Balboa Island, where street parking is scarce and ADUs over 750 square feet can trigger a conditional use permit, the right floor plan decision matters early. ADU Builders in Newport Beach.
Bathroom Remodeling in Newport Beach
Bathrooms in older Newport Beach homes were built small, and many original 1950s and 1960s layouts feel cramped by today’s standards. We reconfigure shower pans, vanities, and storage to make the room work harder without adding square footage, and we match finishes to the home’s era or to a more modern coastal look. Ventilation matters here more than inland: the same salt air that corrodes hardware also feeds mildew in bathrooms without proper exhaust. Bathroom Remodeling in Newport Beach.

Kitchen Remodeling in Newport Beach
Kitchen remodeling in Newport Beach tends to fall into two camps: restoring the character of a 1920s Balboa Island cottage while making the space genuinely functional, or reworking a mid-century or 1980s kitchen that has good bones but an outdated layout. The salt air here means cabinet hardware, appliance finishes, and even some lighting fixtures need a coastal-grade upgrade to avoid premature corrosion. We plan kitchens around how Newport Beach families actually live: year-round entertaining, indoor-outdoor flow to a patio or deck, and storage for a house that usually has no basement and limited garage space. For a broader look at what this service involves, see our Kitchen Remodeling overview.
Full Kitchen Renovation
Signs you need it
Layout is the biggest tell: if multiple people cannot work in the kitchen at the same time, or the refrigerator door blocks a walkway, the room needs a structural rethink, not a facelift.
What it costs in Newport Beach
Full kitchen renovations in Newport Beach typically start around $35,000 and run to $85,000 or more depending on the footprint, cabinet grade, and how much plumbing and electrical move.
How we do it
We start with a measured survey of your existing footprint, build a plan that fixes the flow, then run tear-out, rough-in, drywall, cabinetry, counters, tile, and finish work in sequence, pulling Newport Beach permits at the right milestones.
Cabinet Refacing and New Countertops
Signs you need it
Boxes are still square and doors aren’t warped, but the finish is dated and hinges creak and stick, refacing plus new counters brings the kitchen current for a fraction of full-renovation cost.
What it costs in Newport Beach
Cabinet refacing with new countertops in Newport Beach usually lands between $12,000 and $30,000, with the spread driven by door style, veneer species, and whether you choose quartz, granite, or a solid-surface material.
How we do it
We measure all box faces, order doors and veneer to match your existing footprint, remove and replace hardware and fronts, then template and install new counters in one coordinated pass.
Kitchen Island Addition
Signs you need it
You have dead floor space in the middle of the kitchen and the room can support a 4-foot minimum clearance on all sides, and you want prep surface or casual seating.
What it costs in Newport Beach
Adding a kitchen island in Newport Beach typically costs $6,000 to $18,000 depending on the cabinet base, countertop material, and whether you need electrical run for outlets.
How we do it
We confirm clearances and traffic paths, stake out the new footprint in your kitchen, build or order the base, set the countertop, and wire any required outlets to code.

What Newport Beach 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."
— Heather Reed"Every invoice was tied to a completed milestone, so I always knew what I was paying for."
— Justin Kim"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."
— Rachel Brooks
