WHY HOMEOWNERS CHOOSE US
Kitchen Remodel Contractors Who Show Up Every Day
The biggest complaint homeowners have about contractors is not about craftsmanship. It is about disappearing acts. A crew shows up for two days, then vanishes for a week. Calls go unanswered. Timelines stretch from four weeks to four months.
That is not how we work. Our crew is on-site from 8am to 4pm, Monday through Friday, every day until your project is complete. Owners Mitch and Dustin stay directly involved with every job, which means quality control does not fall through the cracks when the work gets complicated.
We run a largely in-house crew, which means fewer handoffs, fewer miscommunications, and more consistent results. Our clients in Redlands and across the Inland Empire regularly mention this in their reviews, and it is something we are intentional about protecting as we grow.
Straight Edge Builders holds a full general contractor license (License #1075936) and is fully insured for all work we perform in California. We are accountable to you from the first day of demo to the last coat of paint.
When you get a quote from us, it is itemized and honest. We do not add line items mid-project, and we do not upsell. What we quote at the start is what you pay at the end.
MATERIALS & FINISHES
Cabinets, Countertops & Flooring | Materials We Install
The materials in your kitchen affect everything: how it looks, how long it lasts, and how much it costs. Whether you are planning a focused update or a complete custom kitchen remodel, we help every homeowner work through these decisions before a single cabinet goes in, so nothing surprises you during the build.
Cabinetry
Most homeowners we talk to know they want new cabinets but are not sure whether to go custom, semi-custom, or stock. Here is how we think through it with you.
Custom cabinetry gives you the most flexibility in size, wood species, and finish, and it is the right choice when your kitchen has unusual dimensions or specific storage requirements. Semi-custom is a strong middle ground between cost and personalization, covering the majority of what most families actually need. Stock cabinets make sense when the layout is standard and the project timeline is tight.
We also build out storage solutions, including pull-out drawers, built-in pantry systems, and custom millwork for corners and awkward spaces. The goal is a kitchen where everything has a place.
Countertops
Our team installs quartz, granite, marble alternatives, and custom butcher block. Quartz is the most popular choice for Inland Empire kitchens because it holds up to heat, resists staining, and does not need sealing.
Granite gives a more natural stone look and is equally durable. Butcher block adds warmth to islands and prep surfaces. We walk you through the tradeoffs based on how you cook and how much upkeep you want to take on.
Flooring
The right flooring depends on how your kitchen is used. Tile is the most durable option and handles moisture without issue, which is why it remains a go-to in busy Inland Empire households. Hardwood adds warmth and resale value, though it does need more attention in rooms where spills are frequent.
Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) has become the most popular choice we install for one straightforward reason: it gives you the look of hardwood with none of the maintenance worry. We help you match the flooring to the rest of your home so the transition from room to room looks intentional.
PRICING & TIMELINES
How Much Does a Kitchen Remodel Cost? What to Expect in the Inland Empire
Kitchen remodel costs in the Inland Empire generally range from around $20,000 for a focused, cosmetic update to $80,000 or more for a full gut renovation with layout changes, high-end materials, and structural work.* Most mid-range projects fall somewhere between those numbers, depending on the size of your kitchen and the materials you choose.
The single biggest cost driver is usually cabinetry. Custom cabinets cost more than stock, but they also last longer and use your space more efficiently. Countertop choice, flooring material, and whether you are changing the plumbing or electrical layout all move the number significantly.
Timeline follows a similar pattern. A focused update, like replacing countertops and a backsplash, typically takes one to three weeks. A full kitchen remodel with demo, layout changes, and new flooring generally runs four to eight weeks.
*These are general ranges for planning purposes. Your actual estimate will depend on your kitchen's size, the materials you select, and the scope of work. We provide free, itemized estimates so you have exact numbers before anything begins.

HOW WE WORK
Our Kitchen Remodeling Process | From First Call to Final Walkthrough
We use a consistent five-step process on every project. It keeps everyone on the same page and gives you a clear picture of what happens next from the moment you call to the day your kitchen is finished.
- Consultation & Project Planning:
We begin by understanding what you want from your new kitchen. This includes style, storage, workflow, challenges, and design ideas you love. We then provide a detailed, itemized quote with clear pricing and no surprises.
- Design, Materials & Layout Selection:
Our team helps you choose cabinets, countertops, flooring, and fixtures based on your budget, style, and how you use your kitchen. We finalize the layout to maximize workflow and make sure everything you select works together before we break ground.
- Demolition & Site Preparation: Before construction begins, we protect non-work areas of your home with barriers and dust covers. Our crew handles all demo carefully and hauls debris as we go. We clean up at the end of every workday so your home stays livable throughout the project.
- Construction & Installation:
Our crew works Monday through Friday, 8am to 4pm, every day. Cabinets, countertops, flooring, lighting, and appliances go in according to the finalized plan. You can always reach us with questions, and we flag anything unexpected before it becomes a problem.
- Walkthrough, Clean-Up & Warranty Details: When the work is done, we walk through every detail together: paint lines, grout joints, hardware alignment, and anything else you want to review. We do a full clean-up, and your project is backed by a workmanship warranty so you have long-term peace of mind.
Kitchen Remodeling in Redlands, Yucaipa & Highland
Because we work exclusively in the Inland Empire, we know the home styles, the local permitting offices, and the neighborhoods. Straight Edge Builders has built a reputation as the kitchen remodel contractors Redlands CA homeowners call first, and that same care extends to every city we serve. Here is a closer look at the communities we work in most often.
Redlands
Redlands is home. Our office is here, our crew lives here, and we have worked on kitchens across the city, from the craftsman homes near downtown to the newer builds on the east side toward Yucaipa. That means we know the local permit process, the inspectors, and the suppliers. For project details and Redlands-specific information, see our dedicated page,
Kitchen Remodeling in Redlands.
Highland
Highland sits just west of Redlands, and we work there regularly. A lot of the homes in the area were built in the 1980s and 1990s, which means kitchens that are overdue for a proper update. Open-concept layout changes and modern cabinet replacements have been among the most common requests from Highland homeowners. For local service details, see our dedicated page,
Kitchen Remodeling in Highland.
Yucaipa
Yucaipa kitchens often benefit from layout reconfigurations that open up the floor plan, as well as energy-efficient appliance upgrades suited to the local climate. We work with Yucaipa homeowners on everything from single-room refreshes to full kitchen overhauls. Find local project details and service information on our
Kitchen Remodeling in Yucaipa page.
