Remodeling Company in Mentone, CA
Home renovation in Mentone means working with foothill terrain, wildfire exposure, and San Bernardino County’s unincorporated-area permitting process. Sycamore Contractors handles the full scope: kitchens, bathrooms, roofing, windows, hardscaping, and ADUs under one contract and one accountable team. We’ve served Mentone since 2018, and we know what these lots throw at a project before the first permit is pulled. Call (877) 265-6284 for a free estimate.
Why Mentone Homes Are Different
Mentone sits in a semi-rural pocket east of Redlands at the foot of the San Bernardino Mountains. The housing stock is a mix of mid-century ranch homes, rural properties with outbuildings and workshops, and newer custom builds on larger lots. Many of those lots run on private wells and septic systems, which means a straightforward addition can trigger septic capacity reviews that wouldn’t apply in nearby incorporated cities. That changes the planning math on day one.
The climate shapes material decisions more than most homeowners expect. Hot, dry inland summers and strong Santa Ana winds put a premium on fire-resistant siding, ember-resistant vent detailing, and defensible space around structures. When we re-roof or re-side a Mentone home, we’re not just replacing a surface. We’re upgrading it to perform under wind-driven ember conditions that routinely push into this corridor from the national forest. And because Mentone is unincorporated, every permit goes through San Bernardino County Building and Safety rather than a city building department. That affects timelines, inspection schedules, and which code requirements apply. We plan for it from the first walkthrough.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Mentone Services
The two services Mentone homeowners call us about most are full general contracting and whole-home remodeling. Both start with the same conversation: what the lot will allow, what the county will require, and what the homeowner actually wants.
General Contractor in Mentone
When a Mentone project spans multiple trades, a general contractor becomes the single point of accountability. Hillside grading, septic setbacks, defensible-space requirements, and aging ranch-house framing all intersect on the same property. We coordinate the county submittals, schedule inspections, and keep the job moving across every trade without the homeowner chasing three different crews. From a kitchen gut to a full exterior re-skin, one contract covers it. Learn more on our General Contractor in Mentone page.
Home Remodeling in Mentone
Remodeling in Mentone often means working inside a mid-century ranch while preserving what makes it worth keeping: larger setbacks, mature trees, and a layout built for indoor-outdoor living. We handle kitchens, baths, additions, and whole-home updates with brand-name materials the homeowner can research before committing. For a closer look at how we approach full remodels in this specific market, see our Home Remodeling in Mentone page.

Home Renovation in Mentone
Home renovation in Mentone typically costs between $14,000 and $45,000 for a kitchen, and $9,000 to $28,000 for a bathroom, with the final number driven by the age of the home, septic and well constraints, and fire-resistant material upgrades. Older ranch homes here often hide outdated wiring, undersized plumbing, and foundation movement from foothill soil that only reveals itself after demo begins. Our job is to surface those conditions during the estimate, not after the contract is signed. We plan every renovation around what San Bernardino County will require and what the lot’s fire exposure demands. That’s the difference between a clean renovation and one that stalls mid-permit. For a broader look at how we structure renovations, see our Home Renovation service page.
Home Renovation Contractors
Signs you need it
Layouts that fight how you live, mechanicals past their expected lifespan, or a home that can’t handle the heat and wind without constant repair point to a renovation over a patch job.
What it costs in Mentone
Full renovation work through a general contractor in Mentone runs $14,000 to $45,000 for kitchens and $9,000 to $28,000 for bathrooms, depending on scope and structural discovery.
How we do it
We start with a site walk to assess septic, grading, and fire exposure, then produce a fixed-scope estimate, pull county permits, and run the job with a single project lead from demo to final inspection.
Home Renovators
Signs you need it
A house that works room by room but feels disjointed as a whole, or a property that needs mechanical, envelope, and finish updates at once, calls for a renovator who sees the full picture.
What it costs in Mentone
Whole-home renovation through experienced home renovators in Mentone generally falls between $45,000 and $130,000 when additions are involved, or $14,000 to $45,000 for a single major space.
How we do it
We map the entire property, sequence work so you can stay in the home where possible, and coordinate every trade under our own supervision rather than handing you a list of subcontractors.
What Home Renovation Costs in Mentone
| Item | Typical range in Mentone |
|---|---|
| Kitchen remodel | $14,000 – $45,000 |
| Bathroom remodel | $9,000 – $28,000 |
| Home addition | $45,000 – $130,000 |
How long does a home renovation take in Mentone?
Most Mentone renovations run 6 to 14 weeks depending on scope and county inspection scheduling. Septic reviews or fire-clearance requirements can add time, so we sequence permits before demo starts.
Will the price change once renovation work starts?
Our estimates are fixed-scope with no change orders unless you add scope or we uncover a hidden condition during demo. We document existing conditions during the walkthrough to keep the number honest. Call (877) 265-6284 for a line-item quote.
Brands We Service in Mentone
We install and service material lines from the brands homeowners in Mentone ask about most: roofing systems from Tamko and Boral, and impact-rated windows and doors from PGT and CGI. When wind-driven embers are a real concern, those product lines matter. Parts and material availability are stocked through our supplier network, and we can typically source what a Mentone project needs within standard lead times.

FAQs About Remodeling Company in Mentone
We can usually schedule a site walk and estimate within a few business days. Start dates depend on county permit turnaround, which for San Bernardino County unincorporated projects varies by scope. Septic and fire-clearance reviews can extend timelines, so we sequence paperwork first. Call (877) 265-6284 to check current scheduling.
Yes. We prepare and submit permit packages to San Bernardino County Building and Safety for every Mentone job that requires one, including septic capacity reviews and fire-hazard clearances. The homeowner never has to chase paperwork or interpret county code on their own.
Absolutely. We plan additions, ADUs, and remodels around existing well and septic footprints, and we coordinate with county reviewers on capacity requirements before design is finalized. That prevents surprises that would otherwise surface at inspection. Call (877) 265-6284 for a free estimate on your property.

— Ryan Rhodes"Weekly site meeting, every week, with a written summary afterward. I always knew where the money and the schedule stood."
— Jessica Nguyen"He caught an error in the engineer's drawings before it got framed, which would have been an expensive thing to discover later."
