Why Penhallow Remodeling Is Chino Hills’s Preferred Kitchen Remodeling Company
Trevor Nash built Penhallow Remodeling on a simple standard: say the price before the work, show up in the window we gave, leave the place cleaner than we found it. That’s The Kingswell Way, and it’s been how we operate since 2004. In Chino Hills, where homes sit on cut-and-fill pads and post-tension slabs, we don’t quote a remodel until we’ve looked at the foundation, the wiring, and the subfloor. Background-checked, uniformed technicians arrive on every job, and the number on day one is the number on the invoice. Our Chino Hills customers don’t get callbacks to a voicemail maze; they get a live person on the phone, 24/7.
Scheduling for Chino Hills is coordinated from our Inland Empire office, and crews serving the city know the local terrain: the slab movement from clay soils, the red-flag wind days that shut down framing, and the Title 24 upgrades a permit triggers once the drywall comes down.
Small Kitchen Remodel in Chino Hills
A Small Kitchen Remodel in Chino Hills usually means a galley or u-shaped footprint under 150 square feet, and it typically runs $9,000 – $20,000 depending on whether you’re keeping the existing layout or moving a sink line. Homeowners in the 1980s tracts near Chino Hills Parkway and Pipeline Avenue often call us because the kitchen works but everything in it is tired: the laminate counters are peeling, the cabinet boxes are swollen at the toe kicks, and the fluorescent box light makes the whole room feel like a garage.
What Gets Replaced
We’d rather resurface good cabinet boxes than rip them out, but if the frames are shot, we order new runs in KraftMaid or Wellborn. Countertops go Cambria, Silestone, or Caesarstone quartz; the sink and faucet go Kohler or Moen. Backsplash is usually a simple subway or a larger-format porcelain to cut grout lines.
The Permit Reality
A galley remodel in Chino Hills often triggers Title 24 lighting requirements. That means recessed cans, dimmers, and sometimes a dedicated circuit for the range. We write that allowance into the contract before demo, so the number you approved is the number you pay.
Kitchen Cabinet Refacing Contractors in Chino Hills
Kitchen Cabinet Refacing Contractors in Chino Hills replace the doors, drawer fronts, and hardware while keeping your existing cabinet boxes, and the job usually runs $4,000 – $13,000. If your boxes are square, dry, and solidly anchored, refacing gets you a brand-new look at roughly half the cost of a full tear-out. Given the clay soils and seasonal slab movement here, we always check the corners and the toe kicks first; a cabinet that’s pulling away from the wall can be a sign of differential settlement, not just a bad install.
When Refacing Makes Sense
Homes in the Butterfield Ranch and Rolling Ridge areas built in the 1990s often have good plywood boxes with dated oak faces. Refacing those with painted or stained maple shaker doors transforms the space without disturbing the flooring or the tile. We also upgrade soft-close hinges and full-extension drawer glides at the same time.
When It Doesn’t
If water damage from a slow supply-line leak has swelled the side panels or the sink base is soft, refacing hides a problem instead of solving it. We’ll tell you straight, and we’ll show you the damaged section before we quote a replacement.
Trusted Brands We Service in Chino Hills
We install and service cabinetry from KraftMaid and Wellborn, and countertops from Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone. Fixtures come from Kohler, Moen, and Delta; tile and setting materials are sourced from trade suppliers, not big-box closeouts. We keep Sakrete products on the truck for the small patching jobs that come with older Chino Hills foundations, and we’re familiar with the manufactured-home systems from Cover and Dvele that are starting to appear on infill lots and ADU projects in the area. When a job calls for it, we order Abodu panels and coordinate delivery to the site, so your project isn’t waiting on a supplier we can’t reach.
Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Chino Hills Homes
- Diagonal cracking at garage corners and door frames. On cut-and-fill pads from the 1980s, the fill side of the pad compacts unevenly over decades. Before any wall comes out, we look for that tell-tale crack and call in a structural engineer if we find it.
- Outdated wiring that fails Title 24 once walls open. Kitchens built in the 1980s and early 1990s were wired for a single range circuit and maybe two countertop outlets. A permitted remodel today requires dedicated appliance circuits, GFCI protection, and make-up air for the range hood.
- Subfloor rot under the sink and dishwasher. Slow supply-line leaks go unnoticed for years, softening the plywood and loosening the tile. We probe the subfloor before we set any cabinet.
- Red-flag wind days shutting down work. Santa Ana winds channel through Carbon Canyon and can halt framing, roofing, and exterior work for days. We schedule interior demo and finish work on those days so your timeline doesn’t stretch.

FAQs About Kitchen Remodeling in Chino Hills
Chino Hills remodels cost more because the hillside terrain and older housing stock trigger code upgrades that flatland cities often avoid. Homes on cut-and-fill pads require foundation review before structural changes, and any permitted kitchen project must meet current Title 24 lighting, ventilation, and circuit requirements. Add in the cost of engineering sign-off when a wall is load-bearing, and the number moves. Call (936) 259-2607 for a written quote specific to your home.
Expect to find wiring that doesn’t meet today’s code, and possibly a subfloor that’s absorbed years of slow leaks. Our crew looks for both before demo, and we write an allowances line into the contract so any required electrical or waterproofing work is covered by a number you already approved. You won’t get a surprise change order unless we’ve shown you the problem and given you a written price to fix it.
Yes. Before we quote any kitchen remodel in Chino Hills, we check for diagonal cracking at garage corners, door frames, and slab edges, and we verify whether the home sits on a post-tension slab. If we see signs of differential settlement on the fill side of a cut-and-fill pad, we bring in a structural engineer before we write the contract. Call (936) 259-2607 to schedule a walkthrough.
We schedule interior work when the wind shuts down framing and exterior tasks. Red-flag days through Carbon Canyon can stop a crew from setting trusses or cutting exterior openings, but demo, electrical, plumbing, and cabinet installation continue inside. Your timeline is protected because we plan around the wind, not through it.
Yes, if the boxes are sound. Kitchen cabinet refacing in Chino Hills runs $4,000 – $13,000 and gives you new doors, drawer fronts, and hardware while keeping the existing frames. If the boxes are water-damaged, racked from slab movement, or poorly built, we’ll recommend replacement and show you exactly why. The estimate is free either way.
