Fast, Reliable Home Remodeling Across Pomona
Home remodeling in Pomona means working with houses that carry real history, from 1920s Craftsman bungalows near downtown to mid-century tract homes off Garey Avenue. Square One Builders has spent years opening walls in 91766, 91767, 91769, and 91797, and we know exactly what’s behind them. When you call (877) 688-9930, you reach a general contractor who manages every system of your project under one contract, not a revolving door of subs. We scope, plan, and build from the ground up, and we give you straight numbers before you commit.
Why Square One Builders Is Pomona’s Preferred Home Remodeling Company
Pomona sits at the exact seam between LA County and the Inland Empire, and its building stock reflects that split personality. A 1920s citrus-belt bungalow on one block sits a few streets from a mid-century ranch and a warehouse corridor near the 10 and 60. Most remodelers in the area specialize in one trade. We don’t. One contractor, every system means our Home Remodeling team handles structural work, electrical, plumbing, cabinetry, countertops, windows, and exterior finishes without you ever having to coordinate between trades.
Brent Calloway founded this company on a simple premise: a homeowner should be able to hand one team the keys and get a completely finished project back. That matters even more in Pomona, where older homes routinely hide problems that a trade-specific contractor would walk away from. Our local reputation is built on clients in the historic core and the newer subdivisions alike, and our response time to Pomona is measured in the same day it takes most homeowners just to get a call back.
We also know what the City of Pomona’s permit process actually requires, which matters when you’re opening walls and triggering code upgrades. That’s local knowledge you can’t fake.
Styles & brands we work with
Full Home Remodel in Pomona
A full home remodel in Pomona typically runs $45,000 to $130,000 depending on scope, and it’s the right call when a house has good bones but too many outdated systems to fix piecemeal. In Pomona’s pre-1950 core, that often means a home where the kitchen, electrical panel, and waterproofing all need work at once. We inspect before we quote, and we write allowances into the contract for what the walls might hide. That’s how we keep the number honest.
Call (877) 688-9930 to schedule a free estimate, and we’ll walk the property with you before we put any number on paper.
Whole Home Remodel
A whole home remodel in Pomona often starts with electrical and plumbing because the 1920s and 1950s houses here were never built for modern loads. Kitchens, baths, flooring, windows, and rooflines get addressed as one project, not a sequence of unrelated patch jobs. We coordinate every system so the finished house works as a unit.
Structural Repairs and Additions
Opening walls in Pomona frequently reveals framing damage from old roof leaks or failed waterproofing behind tile. A home addition in Pomona runs $45,000 to $130,000, and structural repair is often the necessary first step. We deal with the permit-triggered upgrades, from seismic strapping to egress windows, before finish work begins.
Home Remodeling Contractor in Pomona
A home remodeling contractor in Pomona should understand that a kitchen remodel here ($14,000 – $45,000) and a bathroom remodel ($9,000 – $28,000) are rarely straightforward when the house predates 1960. Square One Builders has pulled permits in Pomona for full scopes that span framing, plumbing, electrical, and finish work. We’re not a kitchen-only or bath-only shop; we’re the general contractor who stays accountable for the whole job from demolition to final inspection sign-off.
Call (877) 688-9930 and talk through your project with us directly.
Kitchen and Bath Remodels
Pomona kitchens in older homes often sit on undersized circuits and outdated plumbing. We run load calculations before adding new ranges, dishwashers, and islands, and we spec cabinets and countertops from brands like KraftMaid and Cambria rather than whatever the distributor happens to have on the shelf.
Garage Conversions and ADUs
A garage conversion in Pomona runs $30,000 to $80,000, and a full ADU construction starts around $90,000 and can reach $220,000. We’re an authorized partner for prefabricated structures from Abodu, Dvele, Boxabl, Mighty Buildings, and Plant Prefab, which gives Pomona homeowners options most local remodelers can’t offer at all.
Trusted Brands We Service in Pomona
We source materials from a portfolio of 50-plus nationally recognized brands, and we spec the right material for your project, not the one a supplier wants to push. For Pomona roofing, that includes GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning, all three of the largest U.S. manufacturers. For countertops, Cambria and Silestone sit at different price tiers within the same category, so you can balance quality and budget without switching contractors. We keep our sourcing relationships active so Pomona customers aren’t waiting on backordered parts longer than they have to.

AfterCommon Home Remodeling Problems We See in Pomona Homes
- Knob-and-tube wiring and 60-amp panels behind fresh drywall. The historic core in 91766 and 91767 is full of updated facades hiding electrical systems that can’t support modern kitchens. Any remodel there should budget for a full service and panel upgrade, not just cosmetics.
- Rotten framing and subfloor behind bathroom tile. Pomona’s older homes often had original waterproofing that failed years ago. We find the damage during demolition and price the repair in writing before we proceed.
- Stucco and wood siding wear from inland heat and Santa Ana winds. Pomona’s hot, dry summers accelerate exterior deterioration faster than coastal LA. Roofing and exterior cladding here need material choices that hold up to that specific abuse.
- Failed inspections from unpermitted past work. A previous owner’s DIY wiring or a bootleg garage conversion can tank a new permit application. We identify those issues during our initial walk-through and include correction in the scope.

FAQs About Home Remodeling in Pomona
Yes, a kitchen remodel in Pomona requires a building permit if you’re moving plumbing, altering electrical, or changing structural walls. The City of Pomona also requires electrical and plumbing permits for those specific systems. We pull all permits and schedule inspections so you don’t have to navigate the counter yourself. Call (877) 688-9930 and we’ll confirm exactly what your project triggers.
In Pomona’s pre-1950 core, budget for a full electrical service and panel upgrade, likely $3,000 to $6,000 depending on amperage and existing conditions. You should also set aside 10 to 15 percent of the project cost for hidden framing or water damage repair. We build allowances into the contract so there’s a number attached to every possibility, not a vague warning.
We write a change order that is priced and approved in writing before we touch the rough-in. On a 1920s bungalow near Holt and Mission in 91766, our crew opened the kitchen wall to find cloth wiring and a 60-amp panel that couldn’t support the new range and dishwasher. We wrote a change order for a full service upgrade to 200 amps and a new panel, the clients approved it, and the project passed inspection sign-off without surprises. That’s the standard process on every Pomona job.
Yes, a garage conversion in Pomona runs $30,000 to $80,000, and we’re an authorized partner for prefabricated ADU structures from Abodu, Dvele, Boxabl, Mighty Buildings, and Plant Prefab. Pomona’s zoning allows ADUs on most residential lots, but setbacks and utility connections vary by parcel. Call (877) 688-9930 and we’ll check your address against current city requirements before you commit to a design.
We source cabinetry from KraftMaid and Wellborn, and countertops from Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone, among others in our 50-plus brand portfolio. We spec the right material for your project and budget, and we handle installation under the same contract as the rest of your remodel. No separate countertop vendor, no finger-pointing.
