Remodeling Company in Pomona, CA
Home renovation in Pomona means working with a building stock that spans nearly a century: Craftsman bungalows from the 1920s, Spanish Colonial homes in the historic core, mid-century tracts from the 1950s and 1960s, and newer infill near the freeways. The climate here, with hot dry summers and Santa Ana winds, wears down exteriors faster than coastal cities. Square One Builders has served Pomona since 2014, and we manage full-scope renovation work from the ground up: structural, roofing, windows, kitchens, bathrooms, and exterior systems under one contract. Call (877) 688-9930 for a free estimate on your Pomona project.
Why Pomona Homes Are Different
Pomona sits at the exact seam between LA County and the Inland Empire. The building stock reflects that split: 1920s citrus-belt bungalows and pre-1950 homes concentrated in 91766 and 91767, with newer subdivisions and warehouse corridors running through 91768 and 91769. A renovation in the historic core routinely unearths what a cosmetic facelift never addressed: original knob-and-tube wiring, cloth-wrapped conductors, and undersized electrical panels hidden behind updated facades. That means a kitchen or bathroom remodel in the older neighborhoods often carries a line item for full electrical service and panel upgrades, not just new fixtures.
The climate shapes material decisions too. Pomona’s hot, dry inland summers and periodic Santa Ana winds accelerate wear on roofing, stucco, and wood siding. Mild winters allow near year-round construction, which is good news for scheduling, but seasonal wildfire smoke and dust influence when exterior finishes get applied and which materials hold up. Contractors here also work across residential, commercial, and light-industrial scopes within the same few ZIP codes, because the city mixes single-family homes with warehouse-facing parcels along the 10 and 60 freeway corridors. A genuine Pomona contractor knows the difference between a 1923 Craftsman on Mission and a 1970s tract home off Holt, and plans the work accordingly.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Pomona Services
Two services account for most of the calls we get from Pomona homeowners: full general contracting for large remodels and additions, and whole-home remodeling that touches multiple rooms and systems at once. Each has its own dedicated Pomona page with deeper detail.
General Contractor in Pomona
A general contractor in Pomona coordinates every trade under one accountable team, from demolition through final inspection. That matters here because older homes in 91766 and 91767 often need structural corrections, electrical upgrades, and plumbing retrofits before finish work can even begin. One contract means you never have to mediate between a roofer, an electrician, and a cabinet installer. Read the full scope on our General Contractor in Pomona page.
Home Remodeling in Pomona
Home remodeling in Pomona typically means adapting a 1920s or mid-century house to the way families actually live now: opening kitchens, adding bathrooms, converting garages, or reconfiguring entire floor plans. The older the home, the more likely the wall you want to remove conceals outdated wiring or structural shortcuts from a previous remodel. We handle that discovery process so it doesn’t derail your budget. See the details on our Home Remodeling in Pomona page.

Home Renovation in Pomona
Home renovation in Pomona means preparing for what’s behind the walls of a house built before 1950. In the older neighborhoods around downtown, along Holt and Mission, we regularly find original knob-and-tube wiring, early cloth-wrapped conductors, and service panels that cannot support a modern kitchen or a new bathroom. That changes the scope: a renovation here is not just cabinets and tile, it’s bringing the electrical, plumbing, and sometimes the structural framing up to code so the finish work actually lasts. Our full-scope approach means one team handles everything from that first electrical panel swap to the final backsplash grout, which is why we call it Home Renovation from the ground up.

FAQs About Remodeling Company in Pomona
We typically schedule an estimate within a week of your call, and for most Pomona projects the walkthrough takes under two hours. After that, we deliver a written scope and line-item pricing. Call (877) 688-9930 to set up a time that works for you.
Yes, we pull all required permits from the City of Pomona and schedule inspections as part of the contract. For homes in the historic core, we also verify what code upgrades the existing structure will need before finish work begins, so there are no surprises at inspection time.
Yes, and we expect to. Many Pomona homes built before 1950 still have knob-and-tube or cloth wiring and undersized panels, so any significant remodel includes electrical service upgrades in the scope. Our full-scope contracting means we handle that work directly rather than asking you to hire a separate electrician.

What Pomona Customers Say
"The foundation survey came back dead on. Everything downstream of that being square is the reason the rest of the build went smoothly."
— Claudia Torres"Quality construction and a professional operation. Communication was strongest at the site meetings, and slower by email in between."
— Leela Singh"Framing crew was meticulous and the walls are straight everywhere. Drywall goes on a lot better when the framing is right."
— Renee Novak
