About the Company
Since 1984, serving Orange County, LA, San Gabriel Valley & the Inland Empire.
Creative Kitchens & Baths is a licensed and insured general contracting and design-build firm. Since 1984 we have planned and built kitchens, bathrooms, custom cabinetry, flooring, windows, and entry doors for homeowners across Orange County, Los Angeles, the San Gabriel Valley, and the Inland Empire.
Our Story
Four decades of Southern California remodeling.
Creative Kitchens & Baths was founded in 1984 by Doug VandeHouten — a licensed and insured general contracting and design-build firm rooted in a simple conviction: a great kitchen or bathroom is engineered before it is decorated.
Since then we have completed full-scope renovations across Huntington Beach, Newport Beach, Costa Mesa, Irvine, Long Beach, Pasadena, the San Gabriel Valley, and the Inland Empire.
The firm continues to be owner-managed, with the same standards of design, craftsmanship, and client experience that have defined our work since day one.
