Home Remodeling in Murrieta, CA
Legacy Construction & Design remodels kitchens, bathrooms and more in Murrieta, and Murrieta is our home base, so a free in-home consultation is a short drive away. Much of the housing here was built from the late 1980s onward, and many of those homes still have their original builder-grade kitchens and baths. Those rooms are often sound but dated: oak or thermofoil cabinets, tile or laminate counters, cultured marble vanities and fiberglass tub surrounds that have reached the end of their useful life.

Remodeling a Home in Murrieta
Most Murrieta homeowners we meet want the same floor plan with better finishes, which is the kind of work we do best. We keep the sink, range and walls where they are, replace cabinets, counters, tile, fixtures and lighting, and finish the job on a clear schedule. Every project starts with a written estimate, and kitchen projects include 3D renderings so you can see the layout and finishes before anything is ordered. We keep our projects within the scope that does not require a building permit, and we tell you at the first visit if what you have in mind would need one.
Builder-grade homes from the 1980s onward
01Many Murrieta homes still have original cabinets, counters and tub surrounds. The layouts usually work well, so a finish-level remodel in the same footprint gives the biggest change for the budget.
HOA architectural review
02Many Murrieta neighborhoods have HOAs with architectural review for exterior work such as paint colors, patio covers and visible changes. Interior remodels rarely need HOA approval, but exterior projects should go through review before work starts.
Hot, dry inland summers
03Inland summers are hot, so we favor finishes that handle heat and sun, such as quartz over some natural stones near west-facing windows and exterior paints rated for strong UV.
Family homes that get heavy use
04Many Murrieta homes are busy family houses, so we steer kitchens and baths toward durable surfaces: quartz counters, porcelain tile, and cabinet finishes that clean easily.

Questions We Answer Every Week
Do I need a permit for a patio cover in Murrieta?
It depends on the cover. In Murrieta, a patio cover attached to the house, or a freestanding cover larger than the city's size limit, needs a building permit, and that work is outside what Legacy takes on. A freestanding cover or pergola under the city's limit typically does not need one.
Read the answerHow much does a bathroom remodel cost in Southern California?
A bathroom remodel in Southern California typically costs $15,000 to $50,000+. A hall bath refresh that keeps the layout runs $15,000 to $25,000, a tub-to-shower or full remodel $25,000 to $35,000, and a primary suite $35,000 to $50,000+. Legacy prices every project from a written estimate after a free in-home consultation.
Read the answerHow much does a tub-to-shower conversion cost in Temecula?
A tub-to-shower conversion in Temecula typically costs $25,000 to $35,000 with Legacy Construction & Design. That covers removing the tub, building a waterproofed shower pan at the existing drain, custom tile with a niche or bench, frameless glass and a new vanity. Prices are the same across every city we serve.
Read the answerHow long does a bathroom remodel take?
A standard bathroom remodel takes 8 to 12 days of on-site work, and a primary suite takes 2 to 4 weeks. Before demolition, allow 1 to 2 weeks for design and selections and 1 to 4 weeks for tile, the vanity and fixtures to arrive. We confirm deliveries before scheduling the start.
Read the answerHow is a shower waterproofed during a bathroom remodel?
A shower is waterproofed with a sloped shower pan and a waterproofing membrane behind the tile, not with tile and grout alone. Tile and grout shed most water, but some always works through. The membrane stops it before it reaches the framing or subfloor, and we water-test the pan before any tile goes in.
Read the answerFrameless vs semi-frameless shower glass: which should I choose?
Frameless glass uses thick panels with minimal hardware and gives the most open look, while semi-frameless puts a slim metal frame around the perimeter and costs less. Both work well on a walk-in shower. Frameless suits tile you want to show off, and semi-frameless suits a clean look on a tighter budget.
