ADU Company in Cypress, CA
Kitchen remodeling in Cypress usually means working inside a 1950s or 1960s tract home where the original layout still has a closed-off galley kitchen and wiring that predates modern appliances. We’re Holloway ADU Builders, and while ADUs are our core focus, we run kitchen remodels in Cypress because the same team that finishes an ADU interior can rebuild a main-house kitchen without bringing in a second contractor. Homes here rarely need major climate control work, but the older electrical panels and original plumbing rough-ins mean the job is as much about infrastructure as cabinetry. Call (855) 617-6356 to talk through what your Cypress kitchen needs.
Why Cypress Homes Are Different
Cypress is a city of post-war tract homes, most of them built between 1955 and 1975. The single-story, wood-frame construction with attached garages sits on lots that average 6,500 to 8,000 square feet, which gives homeowners room to expand a kitchen outward or reconfigure the floor plan without touching the property line. What we see regularly in Cypress is a 60-amp or 100-amp electrical panel that was fine for a 1960s household but cannot carry a modern kitchen with an induction range, double ovens, and a dedicated microwave circuit. That panel upgrade is part of almost every full kitchen remodel we do here. The mild coastal-influenced climate means we don’t fight freeze-thaw cycles, but Santa Ana winds do push dust and dry air through open walls during construction, so we schedule drywall and finish work with the wind forecast in mind. Homes along the western edge near Valley View Street tend to be the older 1950s ranches, and many still have original clay sewer laterals that can crack during trenching for a kitchen island sink, so we scope the line before we dig.
Our Main Cypress Services
Most Cypress homeowners calling us are weighing two projects: adding an ADU to the back of the lot, or remodeling a bathroom. Each has its own Cypress-specific rhythm.
ADU Builders in Cypress
Cypress lot sizes are a genuine advantage here. Most properties can fit a detached 800 to 1,000 square foot ADU while still honoring the city’s rear and side setback rules, which is not true in neighboring Cerritos or Los Alamitos where lots are shallower or already built out. Cypress also requires a paved parking space for any ADU and the unit cannot exceed the height of the primary home, so the design conversation starts with your specific lot shape. Holloway ADU Builders works across prefab, modular, and site-built methods, including Abodu, Cover, and Tuff Shed conversions, so we’re not pushing one brand. ADU Builders in Cypress covers the full process.
Bathroom Remodeling in Cypress
Bathrooms in Cypress tract homes are compact by today’s standards, and most still have the original cast iron drain lines below the slab. Reconfiguring a bathroom means breaking concrete, which is routine but requires an experienced crew who knows where those lines run. The coastal climate keeps moisture levels manageable, but wind-driven rain from the northwest can find its way through a poorly flashed exterior bathroom wall, so we inspect the flashing before we close walls up. Bathroom work also pairs naturally with ADU builds, since an ADU needs a finished bath to be rentable or comfortable for family. Bathroom Remodeling in Cypress walks through the scope.

Kitchen Remodeling in Cypress
Kitchen remodeling in Cypress almost always means opening up a 1950s or 1960s galley kitchen in a tract home that still has its original footprint. The housing stock here is wood-frame with generous lots, so we can extend the kitchen outward or steal space from an attached garage without the tight setback constraints you see in denser Orange County cities. The recurring problem is infrastructure: 60-amp panels, original plumbing, and floor plans that were never designed for today’s appliance loads. This is work we handle as an extension of our ADU practice, with the same full-service scope you get on a detached unit.

Full Kitchen Renovation
Signs you need it
Your Cypress kitchen still has the original cabinetry and layout, and the flow makes cooking feel cramped even when only two people are in the room.
What it costs in Cypress
A full kitchen renovation in Cypress typically runs $45,000 to $85,000 for a 150 to 250 square foot kitchen with mid-range materials, new layout, and finish carpentry.
How we do it
We start with panel and plumbing inspection, open the walls, run new circuits and water lines, build out the new layout, and finish with cabinets, counters, tile, and appliance hookups.
Kitchen Island Addition
Signs you need it
You have the floor space in your Cypress kitchen but no landing zone for prep, school lunches, or casual seating.
What it costs in Cypress
Adding a kitchen island with electrical and plumbing for a sink or cooktop in Cypress usually lands between $8,000 and $20,000.
How we do it
We scope the slab for existing lines, cut the chase for plumbing and power, build the island framing, and finish with the counter and fixture installation.
What Kitchen Remodeling Costs in Cypress
| Item | Typical range in Cypress |
|---|---|
| Full kitchen renovation | $45,000 – $85,000 |
| Kitchen island addition | $8,000 – $20,000 |
| Cabinet refacing | $7,000 – $15,000 |
What pushes kitchen remodel pricing up in Cypress is panel capacity. If your home still has a 60-amp panel, a service upgrade to 200 amps adds real cost before we ever open a wall. We give you a written line-item quote before work starts, and that number doesn’t change unless you change the scope.
Do I need a permit to remodel my kitchen in Cypress?
Yes. Cypress requires permits for any kitchen remodel that moves plumbing, rewires circuits, or alters load-bearing walls, and the city checks that the work meets current code. We pull permits and schedule inspections on your behalf.
Will remodeling my kitchen in Cypress require an electrical panel upgrade?
Often, yes. Homes built in the 1950s and 1960s frequently have 60-amp or 100-amp panels, and a modern kitchen with multiple appliance circuits usually requires 200-amp service. We confirm panel condition during the estimate, not after demolition.
Brands We Service in Cypress
We work across a defined brand set, including James Hardie for exterior cladding on ADUs, and Abodu, Cover, and Dvele for prefab and modular units. Parts and panels for these brands are generally available within standard Orange County lead times. See our brands for the full picture.

What Cypress Customers Say
"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"Detached unit in the back yard. Utilities trenched, separate meter, and it passed final on the first inspection."
— Cole Schaefer"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
