Remodeling Company in Pomona, CA
Home remodeling in Pomona runs into realities that don’t exist in neighboring Ontario or Chino: original 1910s – 1940s Craftsman and Spanish Colonial Revival homes with unreinforced perimeter foundations, plaster-over-lath walls, and Historic Preservation Commission review cycles that add months to exterior projects. We handle whole-house renovations, kitchen and bath updates, and structural additions for families living in these older homes, starting with a written price before any work starts and ending with our 365-Day Done Right Promise. Call (949) 850-9896 to schedule your free estimate.
Why Pomona Homes Are Different
Pomona’s residential core sits on one of the largest concentrations of unrestored pre-WWII housing stock in the eastern San Gabriel Valley. The Lincoln Park National Register Historic District anchors this inventory, and its boundaries trigger mandatory design-review approval for any exterior alteration. Substitute a non-period window profile or modern fiber-cement lap siding for original wood, and the Historic Preservation Commission will deny the permit. No schedule pressure fixes that denial.
The structural burden runs deeper than paperwork. Original galvanized supply lines, shallow unreinforced concrete perimeter foundations, and unbraced cripple walls are standard in these neighborhoods. Any permitted addition or structural renovation routinely triggers a mandatory cripple-wall and anchor-bolt assessment, adding scope and cost before the core project begins.
Climate compounds the challenge. Pomona’s inland valley location at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains produces summer highs exceeding 100°F, accelerating thermal cracking in stucco and concrete flatwork faster than coastal LA projects experience. Santa Ana winds funnel through mountain terrain, increasing wind-uplift loads on rooflines and driving stricter ember-resistant construction detailing under California’s WUI code for properties near the urban-wildland interface on northern edges.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Pomona Services
Pomona homeowners call us most often for kitchen and bathroom renovations in historic homes, and for general contracting that navigates the city’s unique permit environment. Here’s what each service involves locally:
General Contractor in Pomona
We manage full-scope construction projects from permit pull to final inspection, with particular attention to Pomona’s Historic Preservation Commission timelines and the cripple-wall assessments that precede structural work in pre-WWII neighborhoods. Our crews coordinate with city plan checkers, structural engineers, and specialty trades so families aren’t left managing multiple contractors. General Contractor in Pomona covers additions, structural repairs, and whole-property renovations.
Bathroom Remodeling in Pomona
Bathroom updates in Pomona’s Craftsman bungalows and Spanish Colonial Revival cottages mean working with original plaster walls, narrow doorways, and galvanized supply lines that need replacement before new fixtures go in. We source period-appropriate tile and fixture profiles when the home sits in a historic district, and we protect original trim and flooring that can’t be replicated. Bathroom Remodeling in Pomona includes walk-in showers, tub-to-shower conversions, and full gut renovations.
Kitchen Remodeling in Pomona
Kitchen renovations here often open up closed 1920s floor plans while preserving original built-ins, casework, and ceiling beams that give these homes their character. We assess foundation load capacity before adding kitchen islands or moving walls, and we specify cabinets and surfaces that match the home’s era when exterior visibility triggers historic review. Kitchen Remodeling in Pomona handles everything from cabinet replacement to full layout reconfiguration.

Home Remodeling in Pomona
Whole-home remodeling in Pomona means working with housing stock that predates modern building codes: original plaster-over-lath walls, galvanized plumbing, knob-and-tube wiring remnants, and shallow unreinforced foundations that need seismic retrofitting before structural changes proceed. We specialize in opening up these older floor plans for modern family life while preserving the architectural character that makes these homes worth investing in. Our Home Remodeling service covers every room, with the Cedarwell Care Promise governing how our crews move through your house: drop cloths on every floor, shoe covers at the door, quiet tools during children’s rest hours where possible, and pet-safe product choices where available.

Your home still has its original 1920s floor plan with closed-off kitchens, single bathrooms, and no connection to the backyard, while your family needs open gathering space, a primary suite, and indoor-outdoor flow.
What it costs in Pomona
Whole-house remodeling in Pomona typically ranges from $45,000 for targeted room updates to $130,000 for full-gut renovations with structural changes, seismic retrofitting, and historic-material sourcing.
How we do it
We start with a structural assessment and cripple-wall evaluation, then phase the work so your family can live in the home during non-structural portions, with dust barriers, portable kitchen setups, and daily clean-up photos sent to you before the crew leaves.

How long does a whole-house remodel take in Pomona?

Do you handle seismic retrofitting during a home remodel?
Yes, we coordinate cripple-wall bracing, anchor-bolt installation, and foundation reinforcement as part of the remodel scope, since Pomona’s pre-WWII homes routinely trigger mandatory seismic assessments with permitted structural work.
