Fast, Reliable Home Remodeling Across Claremont
Home remodeling in Claremont, CA runs on the City’s calendar more than any contractor’s. The Community Development Department at Claremont City Hall on Indian Hill Boulevard reviews permits, and their plan-check schedule sets your start date. Mason Remodeling has worked with that process for years. We’re the Home Remodeling team that shows up as scheduled, with a written price in your hand before demolition starts. Call (803) 680-2547 to talk through your project, your timeline, and what the City will require from both of us.
Why Mason Remodeling Is Claremont’s Preferred Home Remodeling Company
Most Claremont homeowners call us after a bad experience with a verbal estimate that grew, or after a crew showed up without identification. That doesn’t happen here. Every Mason Remodeling technician is background-checked and identity-verified under the Threshold Standard. Before anyone arrives at your door in Claremont, you get their name and photo. They show up in a clean marked uniform, wearing a photo ID badge. No surprises at the door, no surprises on the invoice.
We also write the price down before work begins. Every project, every time. You’ll see the line items for cabinets, tile, labor, and City permit fees. Founded in 2004 as part of the Threshold Group, lead by Isaac Pruett, we’ve built our Claremont reputation on honoring that written number. And our 365-Day Done Right Promise covers the workmanship for a full year after completion. If something isn’t right, we return at no charge.
Styles & brands we work with
Home Renovation in Claremont
Home Renovation in Claremont means working with the City’s plan-check and inspection calendar from day one. Whether you’re adding square footage near the Village or gutting a 1950s kitchen off Foothill Boulevard, the Community Development Department reviews your plans before a hammer swings. We pull the permits, schedule the inspections, and rebuild to code. A small kitchen renovation in Claremont runs $9,000 to $20,000. A full kitchen starts around $14,000 and can reach $45,000 depending on cabinets, counters, and whether walls move.
Older-Home Renovation Work
Claremont’s housing stock near the Colleges and the Village skews older. We regularly open walls and find subfloor rot from decades-old slow leaks, aging cast-iron rough-in, and wiring that predates modern code. That’s not a cost overrun; it’s a condition of the house. We write allowances for discovery work into your estimate so you’re never surprised.
ADU and Addition Renovation
Garage conversions in Claremont run $30,000 to $80,000. Full ADU construction starts around $90,000 and climbs to $220,000 for a detached unit. Home additions run $45,000 to $130,000. The City’s ADU review process runs through the same counter at City Hall, so we build that wait into your timeline from the first conversation.
Home Remodeling Companies in Claremont
Home Remodeling Companies in Claremont operate under the same City permit rules, but not all of them verify their crews the way we do.

That means the person at your door is exactly who we said would be there. You get a name, a photo, and a badge at the door. Before demolition, you get a written price. After completion, you get a written guarantee with stated terms: 365 days from the completion date.
Kitchen and Bath Remodel Companies
A full Claremont kitchen remodel runs $14,000 to $45,000. Bathrooms run $9,000 to $28,000. Countertops alone run $2,000 to $6,500. We write the allowance schedule before we start so when you choose Cambria or Silestone, you know exactly what it adds. No change orders that blow the budget.
Whole-Home and Structural Remodel Companies
Structural repairs, load-bearing wall removals, and whole-home renovations require engineering sign-off in Claremont. We coordinate the structural engineer, the City plan check, and the inspection schedule. Your job doesn’t stall at the counter on Indian Hill Boulevard because we’ve already walked the plans through.

AfterCommon Home Remodeling Problems We See in Claremont Homes
- Demolition before permit. Someone opens a wall on a 1950s Claremont home, finds it’s load-bearing, and suddenly the City requires structural engineering. The price changes mid-stream, and the homeowner pays for the surprise. We pull the permit and check the framing before we demo.
- Subfloor and rough-in rot near the Colleges. Older Claremont homes often have water damage under sinks and behind tubs that never showed until the tile came up. We replace the plywood and rebuild the rough-in to current code before finishes go in.
- Verbal estimates that drift. A verbal cabinet quote becomes a change order when the homeowner picks Cambria over a stock slab. We set written allowance schedules so you choose your materials against a number you already approved.
- Knob-and-tube-era wiring. In Claremont’s pre-1960 housing stock, opening a wall sometimes reveals wiring that won’t pass inspection. We route that through the City’s inspection process so your remodel signs off clean, not on a temporary exception.

A kitchen or bathroom remodel in Claremont typically runs 6 to 12 weeks including City plan check and inspections. The plan-check calendar at City Hall sets the start, not our crew availability.

Call (803) 680-2547 for a realistic date range on your project.
Yes. We’ve remodeled 1950s kitchens off Indian Hill Boulevard near the Claremont Colleges. Historic-district work near the Village sometimes triggers additional City review, and we handle that paperwork. We’ve replaced water-damaged subfloor, rebuilt rough-in, and pulled building permits through the City on these homes. Call (803) 680-2547 to talk about your house specifically.
KraftMaid and Wellborn are semi-custom lines with measured factory tolerances, solid build quality, and lead times of 4 to 8 weeks. Fully custom cabinets are built to the inch, but they cost more and take longer. In Claremont, semi-custom handles most remodels well and keeps the City’s inspection timeline on track. We’ll show you samples and price both options in writing. Call (803) 680-2547.
