Glendora Home Remodel

We walk through dozens of Glendora homes every month. In January 2026, we are noticing some very specific trends in what homeowners are upgrading.

It’s not just about white kitchens anymore. It’s about efficiency and density.

1. The ADU Boom Continues With the City of Glendora expediting Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) permits to meet state housing goals, many homeowners are turning their detached garages into rental units or "in-law suites."

  • ROI Factor: High. It adds square footage and potential income.

2. Soundproofing Upgrades With the Metro Train now blowing its horn at crossings, homeowners within earshot are investing in double-pane, sound-dampening windows. It’s a dual benefit: silence and better insulation during these chilly January nights.

3. "Mudrooms" and Drop Zones As we embrace a more walkable lifestyle (walking to the Village, walking to the train), we are tracking dirt into the house! We are seeing more remodels that include a dedicated entry bench/shoe storage area near the front or side door.

4. Electrification Replacing old gas furnaces with heat pumps is huge this year, driven by new rebates and high gas prices.
