Remodeling Company in Upland, CA
Home renovation in Upland means working on 1920s ranch homes, mid-century single-story builds, and foothill properties that sit under wildfire review. San Bruno Construction handles the full scope: kitchens, bathrooms, additions, ADUs, roofing, hardscaping, and exterior upgrades, all coordinated under one contract so you’re not juggling five subcontractors. We’ve served Upland since 2016, and we know how the citrus-era lots, Santa Ana winds, and hillside code requirements change the way a job gets planned. Call (866) 472-1908 to talk through your project.
Why Upland Homes Are Different
Upland’s housing stock is older than what you’ll find in most of the Inland Empire’s newer cities. The core of town, from the 91786 neighborhoods near downtown up through the 91785 tracts along Foothill Boulevard, is dominated by 1920s – 1970s single-story ranches and Craftsman-influenced homes on deep lots originally planted as citrus groves. Those homes have dimensions and framing patterns that make additions and ADU conversions the most common project type we quote, not new subdivision builds.
The climate shapes material choices. Hot, dry summers and Santa Ana wind events off the San Gabriels make fire-resistant roofing, ember-resistant vents, and defensible-space rebuilds recurring themes. Winter rains stress older roofs and hillside drainage. And in the 91784 foothill neighborhoods north of Euclid Avenue, homes sit in designated high fire severity zones. Even a small addition or re-roof there gets pulled into Chapter 7A wildland-urban interface material and vent requirements that flatland contractors in Rancho Cucamonga or Montclair rarely touch. Planning for that from day one saves homeowners thousands in change orders later.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Upland Services
Most Upland homeowners call us for one of two things: they need a general contractor to untangle a project that spans multiple trades, or they’re ready to remodel and want one team from design through finish. Both services have dedicated Upland pages with pricing detail.
General Contractor in Upland
Upland projects frequently cross trade lines: a kitchen remodel that turns into structural work on a 1950s ranch home, or a patio addition that triggers hillside grading review in the 91784 foothills. That’s where a single accountable general contractor changes how the job runs. We coordinate carpenters, roofers, electricians, plumbers, and finish trades so the schedule holds and the work passes Upland’s inspection process. If you’re planning a project with multiple phases or trades, read more on the General Contractor in Upland page.
Home Remodeling in Upland
Remodeling an older Upland home is different from working in a 2005 tract house. Floor joists run differently, kitchens were framed around smaller footprints, and plumbing stacks on 1960s homes often need rerouting to fit a modern layout. We plan for those realities upfront and pair them with real material choices: Kohler and Grohe fixtures, Cambria countertops, James Hardie siding, GAF roofing. See the full scope and pricing on the Home Remodeling in Upland page.

Home Renovation in Upland
Home renovation in Upland usually means reworking a house that predates modern insulation, open kitchens, and energy codes. Most of the homes we renovate in the 91784, 91785, and 91786 ZIP codes were built between the 1920s and 1970s, so the work often involves structural retrofits, panel upgrades, and removing old plaster to run new mechanicals, not just cosmetic updates. Foothill homes north of the boulevard add Chapter 7A material requirements on top of everything else. San Bruno Construction runs the whole renovation: one contract, one point of contact, and the trades scheduled in the right order. We carry access to 50+ established product brands, so decisions on cabinets, countertops, roofing, and windows stay in your hands. This is the full scope of what we do: see Home Renovation for the service hub.
Home Renovation Contractors
Signs you need it
A Upland home that needs renovation contractors typically shows multiple aging systems at once: original 1960s wiring, single-pane windows, a kitchen laid out for a different era, or slab foundation cracks that need a structural consult before finish work starts.
What it costs in Upland
Full home renovation in Upland runs $45,000 – $130,000 for a typical 1,200 – 2,000 square foot home, with the higher end for foothill projects that trigger fire-zone material upgrades.
How we do it
We start with a walkthrough to separate structural work from finishes, bring in a structural engineer when the home’s age demands it, pull permits through Upland’s building division, then sequence trades: demo, rough electrical and plumbing, insulation, drywall, flooring, cabinets, fixture install, final inspection.
Home Renovators
Signs you need it
You need experienced home renovators when the job spans three or more rooms, an addition plus a kitchen, or a whole-home update that has to happen while you live in the house.
What it costs in Upland
Multi-room renovation work in Upland typically lands between $45,000 and $130,000 depending on square footage, the home’s age, and whether the 91784 foothill fire-zone requirements apply to your exterior.
How we do it
We phase the job so you can stay in the home where possible: isolate work zones with dust barriers, run rough trades before finishes, order long-lead cabinets and windows early, and hold a weekly walkthrough so the schedule and budget stay visible.
Home Improvement Contractors
Signs you need it
When a house needs work across unrelated areas, roofing and a bathroom and new windows, hiring separate specialty crews creates scheduling conflicts, finger-pointing, and no one accountable for the gaps in between.
What it costs in Upland
Bundled home improvement projects in Upland start around $14,000 for a kitchen and climb to $130,000 for full additions plus interior work, depending on scope.
How we do it
We write one contract covering all trades, order materials from brands like KraftMaid, Cambria, and GAF under our account, and manage the permit set with Upland’s building department so inspections land when trades finish, not two weeks later.
Home Renovation Companies
Signs you need it
You’re interviewing home renovation companies when the project needs a permit set, structural changes, and finish selections all coordinated, not a handyman with a truck and a two-week window.
What it costs in Upland
Whole-home renovation through a full-service company in Upland runs $45,000 – $130,000, with smaller scope work like a single bathroom renovation at $9,000 – $28,000.
How we do it
We bring the design, procurement, and trade coordination under one roof, present a written line-item quote before work starts, and walk with you through every inspection from rough frame to final clearance.
Renovation Contractors
Signs you need it
A renovation contractor makes sense when Upland’s permit office requires stamped drawings for your scope, which is common for additions, ADU conversions, and any structural change on pre-1970 homes.
What it costs in Upland
Renovation contractor pricing in Upland starts at $45,000 for whole-home projects and reaches $130,000 for additions plus full interior rework.
How we do it
We handle the design drawings, structural engineering, permit submittal, trade scheduling, material procurement, and the final walkthrough, all in one contract so you’re not coordinating six companies from your kitchen table.

Prices in Upland climb when the job touches a foothill home in the 91784 fire zone, because Chapter 7A-compliant roofing, vents, and siding materials cost more than standard products. Older citrus-era homes also carry unknowns behind the walls: knob-and-tube wiring, undersized joists, or cast-iron drain lines that add cost once they’re exposed. Our quotes are written and line-itemed before we start, and the price doesn’t change unless the scope does.

FAQs About Remodeling Company in Upland
After you approve a written estimate, we typically begin the permit set within five to seven business days. Upland’s building division review times vary by project type; foothill homes in 91784 add a fire-zone review. Once permits issue, we schedule the first trade crew based on material lead times. Call (866) 472-1908 to get your project into the queue.
Yes. We prepare submittal packages for HOAs in communities like The Colonies that require architectural review before exterior work starts, including roofing color, window style, fencing, and hardscape materials. We route the paperwork, attend follow-up questions, and adjust the material spec to match HOA standards.
Yes. We’re familiar with Chapter 7A wildland-urban interface requirements for roofing, vents, and exterior materials in Upland’s high fire severity zones. We spec compliant products from the start so the building division and fire department reviews pass on the first submittal, not the third.

What Upland Customers Say
"Ground up build. Permits, foundation, framing, all of it, and he ran the schedule tightly enough that the subs were never tripping over each other. Finished within a month of a fourteen month estimate."
— Andres Herrera"Weekly site meeting, every week, with a written summary afterward. I always knew where the money and the schedule stood."
— Tim Pruitt"He was upfront about a soil issue that added cost early rather than absorbing it and surprising us at the end."
— Nathan Barrett
