Fast, Reliable Home Remodeling Across Redlands
Home remodeling in Redlands, CA typically costs between $9,000 and $130,000 depending on scope, with kitchens and bathrooms landing in the $14,000 – $45,000 and $9,000 – $28,000 ranges respectively. We’re Square One Builders, a licensed general contractor led by Brent Calloway, and we manage full-scope remodels from the first demolition cut to the final walkthrough. Call (877) 688-9930 to schedule a free estimate and get a written line-item quote.

We work in Redlands every week, from the Craftsman bungalows near the University of Redlands to the 2010s subdivisions off East Lugonia Avenue. Local knowledge matters here because Redlands is not one housing market. It’s two: a historic core with preservation-minded review, and newer east-side neighborhoods with HOA architectural covenants that can stall a project before drywall goes up. We know which applies to your street.
Why Square One Builders Is Redlands’s Preferred Home Remodeling Company
Redlands homeowners call us because we carry the full scope under one contract. One contractor, every system. When you’re replacing builder-grade cabinets, we’re also checking whether the subfloor can handle stone tile on Redlands’ expansive clay soils. When we open a wall, we’re looking for shear bracing before we change a load path. Most remodelers in the Inland Empire specialize in one trade and hand you a list of other vendors to call. We don’t. From the ground up, it’s our crew, our subs, and our accountability.
Brent Calloway built Square One Builders around a simple premise: homeowners want straight answers and one person responsible when the unexpected shows up. That matters in Redlands, where an HOA review can delay a paint order and a builder warranty can be voided by a permit mistake. We’ve scoped and delivered remodels across ZIP 92373, 92374, and 92375, and our Redlands clients keep our calendar full through referrals. We spec the right material for your project, whether that’s a Cambria island or a Silestone countertop at a lower price point, and we don’t change the number once the contract is signed.
Your remodel, fully managed. That’s the job we show up to do in Redlands.
Styles & brands we work with







Luxury Home Remodeling in Redlands
Luxury Home Remodeling in Redlands means more than high-end finishes. It means a remodel that respects the massing and character of the home you bought, whether that’s a Spanish Revival near Millionaires’ Row or a hillside custom home on the south side. A luxury kitchen remodel in Redlands typically runs $14,000 – $45,000, and the work often includes custom cabinetry, stone or quartz countertops, upgraded plumbing fixtures, and lighting layouts that account for the intense inland sun. A luxury bathroom starts around $9,000 and can reach $28,000 with a walk-in shower, freestanding tub, and heated flooring.
When does this scope make sense? When you’re planning to stay in the home for five or more years, or when you’ve bought an older property near the University of Redlands and want to restore its character while modernizing systems. We’ve done whole-home updates in Redlands where the original 1920s millwork stayed and everything behind it got replaced.
Kitchen and Primary Suite Upgrades
The two spaces that return the most value in Redlands are kitchens and primary suites. We coordinate cabinet installation, countertop fabrication, plumbing rough-ins, and finish work as one sequence, so your Redlands kitchen doesn’t sit half-finished for weeks while a separate countertop vendor schedules around a cabinet crew. Kitchen island installation alone runs $3,000 – $10,000, and countertops add another $2,000 – $6,500.
Whole-Scope Interior Finish Work
Luxury scope in Redlands often includes window replacement, interior door upgrades, and flooring. We source from 50+ national brands, including Kohler and Grohe fixtures at the premium end, so a single contract covers every system. That is the Square One difference: we’re not a kitchen company telling you to find a window vendor. We handle it.
Full Home Remodel in Redlands
A Full Home Remodel in Redlands is the right call when a home has good bones but tired everything else. That’s common in the mid-century tract homes of ZIP 92374 and in the early-1900s stock near downtown. Full home remodels in Redlands typically range $45,000 – $130,000 depending on square footage, structural retrofits, and finish level. The scope includes kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, windows, doors, and often structural repairs.
On older Redlands homes, a full remodel frequently uncovers knob-and-tube-era wiring remnants, cast-iron drain lines, or foundation settling from the clay soil. We factor that into the estimate before demo starts. What we don’t do is “discover” a vague charge after the walls are open. Our Redlands clients get a written line-item quote, and we hold the number.
Structural and System Retrofits
When a Redlands home needs foundation work, shear wall upgrades, or a re-roof before the cosmetic work begins, we handle it in sequence with the same crew. Roof replacement in Redlands runs $8,000 – $20,000. Structural repairs and load-bearing evaluations are part of the full-scope contract, not a separate vendor you chase.

Additions and ADU Scopes
Home additions in Redlands run $45,000 – $130,000, and garage conversions $30,000 – $80,000. We’re also authorized to build ADUs through partnerships with Abodu, Dvele, Boxabl, Mighty Buildings, and Plant Prefab, which is a capability most local remodelers cannot offer. If you’re looking at a backyard ADU, call (877) 688-9930. We’ll tell you what Redlands zoning allows on your parcel and what it will realistically cost.
Trusted Brands We Service in Redlands
We stock and install from a curated portfolio of 50+ nationally recognized manufacturers, so Redlands homeowners get real options within each category. For roofing, we carry GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning, the three largest U.S. shingle manufacturers, along with IKO for value-minded replacements. For kitchens, we install KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry and Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone countertops. We keep project-specific stock staged for Redlands jobs, which means faster turnaround when a cabinet order lands or a countertop template needs a re-check. We spec the right material for your project, at the price tier you set.
Our Home Remodeling team maintains direct relationships with these brands, so when a Redlands project hits a supply delay, we know who to call and what alternatives actually match the original spec.

AfterCommon Home Remodeling Problems We See in Redlands Homes
- HOA architectural-review stop orders. Redlands’ east-side subdivisions built after 2000 often enforce approved paint colors, fencing styles, and even visible solar panel screening. We’ve seen owners order $8,000 in exterior materials only to have the HOA reject the color. We file the architectural submittal before anything gets ordered.
- Builder warranties voided by unpermitted structural changes. Removing a load-bearing wall or relocating a plumbing rough-in without permits can void the builder warranty on a newer Redlands home. Some open-concept kitchen remodels fail sign-off because that wall is actually a shear wall required for seismic bracing. We evaluate it first.
- Expansive clay soil and settling. Redlands’ clay soils expand and contract with moisture, which causes minor settling. Builder-grade subfloor and framing can deflect under heavy tile or stone. If a bathroom remodel goes in without checking deflection, the floor cracks within a year. We check during our initial inspection.
- Builder-grade finish failures. Laminate countertops swell at the seams, cabinet hinges pull out of particleboard, and cheap vinyl windows warp under Redlands’ summer sun. These are not cosmetic problems; they’re predictable failures in homes built fast during the 2000s construction boom. We replace them with materials built to last in this climate.

FAQs About Home Remodeling in Redlands
Yes, and the key is filing the architectural-review submittal before ordering materials. Redlands’ east-side HOA communities enforce approved paint colors, fencing styles, and exterior changes, and interior remodels typically don’t need HOA review unless they change the footprint, roofline, or exterior appearance. We file the submittal for any triggered scope and build the approval timeline into the schedule. Call (877) 688-9930 and we’ll tell you whether your project triggers review.
No. Cosmetic replacements like cabinets, countertops, and flooring do not void a builder’s structural warranty. What voids it is unpermitted structural alteration, such as removing a load-bearing wall or relocating plumbing rough-ins without a licensed general contractor. We pull permits for any structural or mechanical work on your Redlands home, so the warranty stays intact. Get a free estimate at (877) 688-9930.
Kitchen cabinetry and countertops. Builder-grade cabinet boxes fail at the hinges and laminate counters swell from leaks, and both read as worn within five years. In Redlands, a cabinet installation runs $4,000 – $13,000 and countertops $2,000 – $6,500. We spec KraftMaid cabinets and Cambria or Silestone counters at whatever tier fits your budget. Call (877) 688-9930 and we’ll give you a line-item quote.
They cause minor settling that can deflect builder-grade subfloor and framing under heavy tile or stone. Before we install flooring or set a heavy island in a Redlands home, we check joist spacing and deflection. If the framing needs stiffening, we address it as part of the written scope, not as a change order. For an exact assessment of your home, call (877) 688-9930.
Yes, if the work involves plumbing, electrical, structural changes, or moving walls. Cosmetic-only work often does not require a permit, but Redlands’ building department requires sign-off for mechanical and structural scope. We pull all required permits and schedule inspections as part of the contract. Call (877) 688-9930 and we’ll walk you through exactly what your project triggers.
