We’ve remodeled kitchens in the Lincoln Park Craftsman district, the post-war cottages along Holt Boulevard, and the hillside tracts near Phillips Ranch. Pomona’s housing stock demands a different kind of contractor - one who budgets for the 80-year-old electrical and gas systems behind the drywall, not just the cabinets in front of it. That’s the work we do.

Why Rowan Construction Group Pomona Is Pomona’s Preferred Kitchen Remodeling Company

Our reputation in Pomona was built on documented outcomes, not promises. We’ve completed hundreds of kitchen remodels across the city, and our customers leave reviews citing the same thing: the price on the final invoice matched the price on the first page of the contract. That discipline - written price before work starts, signed change order before any deviation - is Clause 1 of The Haven Standard, and it’s why Haven acquired Rowan in the first place.

Dispatch and scheduling run from our Los Angeles office, but the crews serving Pomona are local to the eastern San Gabriel Valley. We understand the difference between a 1920s Craftsman on College Avenue and a 1960s ranch near the 71 Freeway. The former has knob-and-tube wiring and skip-sheathed subfloors; the latter has aluminum wiring and shallow pier foundations. We price for what we find, and we find it before demolition starts.

Our 365-Day Done Right Promise applies to every Pomona job. If it’s not done right, we make it right - backed by terms you can read, not a handshake. Background-checked, uniformed technicians. A live person answers calls 24/7. And every visit produces a documented photo record, included as standard.

Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in Pomona

Full Kitchen Remodeling

A full kitchen remodel in Pomona means more than new cabinets and counters. In the pre-1940s homes around Lincoln Park and the historic downtown core, it means opening walls to find uninsulated knob-and-tube wiring, undersized gas lines, and skip-sheathed tongue-and-groove subfloors with no underlayment. We rough-in the electrical and gas to modern code, level the framing, and build a proper substrate before the first cabinet goes in. Our Kitchen Remodeling team coordinates every trade under one written scope, one draw schedule, and one point of accountability.

Kitchen Design & Layout

Pomona’s older kitchens were built for a different era - narrow galley layouts, minimal counter space, and no integration with adjacent living areas. We redesign for how you actually cook and gather, but we also design for what the structure can support. Opening a wall to the dining room in a 1930s bungalow requires verifying whether it’s load-bearing and, if so, engineering a proper header. We handle that verification in the design phase, not during demolition. The written scope includes structural engineering when needed, permits pulled and inspections passed, so the layout you approve is the layout that gets built.

Cabinet Installation & Refacing

Cabinets in Pomona’s older homes can’t be installed the way they are in new construction. The original framing is often out of plumb by an inch or more. Fastening cabinets directly to that framing without shimming, leveling, and in some cases sistering new studs produces doors that misalign and drawers that bind within a year. We level the substrate first, then install KraftMaid, Wellborn, or custom-built boxes to a true plane. Refacing is an option when the cabinet boxes are sound and the layout works - we re-skin with new doors and hardware, saving 30-40% against full replacement. Either way, the price is written before work starts.

Countertop Installation

We specify and install Cambria, Caesarstone, Silestone, and natural granite. In Pomona’s inland heat pocket, where summer temperatures hit 105-110°F, material selection matters. Dark granites on south-facing kitchens can become uncomfortably hot to the touch; lighter quartz with low thermal mass performs better. We also assess whether the existing base cabinets can support the load of 3cm stone - older cabinets built for laminate tops often can’t. If reinforcement is needed, it’s in the written scope, not a mid-project surprise.

Backsplash, Tile & Flooring

Backsplash installation runs $800-$2,500 in Pomona, depending on tile selection and the condition of the wall behind it. In homes with original plaster over lath, we often need to install cement board or apply a skim coat before setting tile. For flooring, we handle porcelain, ceramic, engineered hardwood, and luxury vinyl plank - specifying materials rated for the thermal cycling Pomona’s climate demands. Expansion joints, proper underlayment, and moisture barriers are line items in the scope, not afterthoughts.

Kitchen Island Installation

Islands are the most requested addition in Pomona kitchen remodels, and the most frequently under-engineered. A 3cm quartz top on a 6-foot island weighs 400-plus pounds. In a post-WWII cottage with a shallow pier foundation, that load concentrates where the original structure wasn’t designed to carry it. We verify floor joist capacity, add blocking or a support post when needed, and run new electrical and gas lines for cooktops or prep sinks. The island you get is the island that was engineered, permitted, and inspected.

You see the brand names, the model numbers, and the per-unit costs in the written scope before you sign.

Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Pomona Homes

• Knob-and-tube wiring behind original plaster. In Lincoln Park Craftsman homes, we regularly find active knob-and-tube circuits feeding kitchen outlets. California code requires full replacement during any remodel involving wall demolition. The panel upgrade and rewiring add $3,500-$7,500 to the job, but only if they’re in the original scope. Bids that skip this line item balloon into five-figure change orders at inspection.
• Undersized gas lines for modern ranges. A 1920s bungalow may have a 1/2-inch gas line rated for a basic cooktop. The 36-inch six-burner Wolf or Thermador the homeowner wants needs 3/4-inch. Running new black iron or CSST through finished walls is not a change order we want to discover mid-project. We test flow and pressure during the pre-construction walkthrough.
• Skip-sheathed subfloors with no underlayment. Original tongue-and-groove boards, often oak or Douglas fir, were installed directly on joists with no plywood layer. They’re beautiful, but they’re not a stable substrate for stone counters or modern tile. We add plywood underlayment and a mud-set base where needed, locking that labor into the written scope.
• Moisture damage under original plumbing. Eighty-year-old galvanized drain lines and brass supply valves fail slowly, saturating the subfloor before anyone notices. We find it during demolition, document it with photos, and stop work for a signed change order that specifies the repair scope and cost. No work proceeds on a change until the change order is signed - that’s the discipline that keeps projects within a few percent of the agreed price.
