Remodeling Company in Redlands, CA
Redlands is unlike most Inland Empire cities when it comes to remodeling. The older core around 92373 is dense with pre-1950 Craftsman and Spanish Colonial homes, while the north side in 92374 holds 1960s through 1990s tract housing. That split means two very different renovation playbooks, and a contractor has to know which one applies before the first wall opens. Sycamore Contractors has served Redlands since 2018, and we handle everything from kitchen and bath remodels to full exterior re-skins. Call (877) 265-6284 for a free estimate.
Why Redlands Homes Are Different
Homes in Redlands span more than a century of construction methods, and that history shows up in every job. The 1900s – 1940s Craftsman bungalows and Spanish Colonial Revival homes around downtown and the older south side often still carry original knob-and-tube wiring, pier-and-beam foundations, and plaster walls. When you renovate one of those homes, you’re not just updating finishes, you’re accounting for framing that may have settled, plumbing that predates modern code, and electrical panels that were never meant for today’s load. On the north side, the 1960s – 1990s subdivisions are far more predictable, but many now cycle through their first full kitchen or bath replacement.
Climate is the other variable. Redlands sits at the base of the San Bernardino Mountains in a hot-summer Mediterranean climate. Summer days regularly push past 100°F, and Santa Ana winds are dry and steady through fall. That heat cycles exterior stucco on older homes aggressively, and the clay-heavy soils expand and contract with the dry heat, producing the visible hairline cracking you see on pre-war stucco each summer. We schedule concrete, stucco, and roofing work in the early morning hours during summer, and we recommend reflective cool roofs and fire-resistant exterior materials for homes on the wildland-urban interface along the north and east edges of the city.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Redlands Services
Most Redlands homeowners call us about two things: managing a whole-home remodel from start to finish, or finding a licensed general contractor who can take on a single significant project and run it cleanly. Both services handle the local conditions above. Here’s how they break down.
General Contractor in Redlands
When a Redlands project involves structural work, multiple trades, or a historic home, a general contractor is the difference between a job that runs on schedule and one that stalls in permit review. In the 92373 historic districts, design review boards often require specific window profiles, roofline continuity, and exterior materials. Our role is to understand those requirements before drawings are finalized, coordinate every trade around them, and keep the project moving. If you’re planning an addition, an exterior transformation, or a whole-home renovation, start with our General Contractor in Redlands page.
Home Remodeling in Redlands
This is the service for kitchens, bathrooms, and interior transformations. Redlands homes built before 1950 often hide unknowns behind plaster walls: old wiring, relocated plumbing, or framing that has shifted over decades. Our estimating process anticipates those conditions instead of being surprised by them. We also carry relationships with cabinet and countertop brands homeowners can research before signing, including KraftMaid, Wellborn, Cambria, and Silestone. Read more about the process on our Home Remodeling in Redlands page.

Home Renovation in Redlands
Home renovation in Redlands means planning around two housing realities at once. In the 1900s – 1940s zones around 92373, we regularly uncover century-old framing, knob-and-tube wiring, and irrigation-root remnants from the orange grove era, all of which change scope once walls open. In the 1960s – 1990s tract homes of 92374, the work is more predictable but often includes replacing original mechanicals and single-pane windows at the same time. Here is our full Home Renovation service detail, followed by the sub-jobs Redlands homeowners ask about most.
Home Renovation Contractors
Signs you need it
You’re planning multiple rooms, structural changes, or a project spanning framing, electrical, and finishes that a single specialist cannot manage end to end.
What it costs in Redlands
Whole-home renovation in Redlands typically falls between $45,000 and $130,000 depending on square footage, home age, and how much mechanical work is required.
How we do it
We start with a site assessment of the home’s era and condition, then build a scope that sequences demolition, rough mechanicals, inspection checkpoints, and finishes around your living situation.
Home Renovators
Signs you need it
The house needs layout changes, flooring, lighting, and finish updates, and you want one accountable team instead of coordinating four subcontractors yourself.

Prices in Redlands push higher when work involves a pre-1950 home with original wiring and plaster, or when the property sits inside a historic district with design-review requirements.

Sycamore Contractors writes fixed, line-item quotes, so the price we agree on is the price you pay, no change orders from unknown conditions we should have caught in the estimate.
