Remodeling Company in Claremont, CA
We’re Mason Remodeling, and we handle general contracting, bathroom remodeling, and whole-home remodeling across Claremont, CA. Most Claremont homes we work in were built between the 1920s and 1970s, which means the framing, plumbing, and electrical systems are built to older codes and often need real corrections before new finishes go in. The dry foothill heat and clay-heavy soil also push foundations and exterior materials harder than homeowners expect. If you’re planning work in Claremont, call us at (803) 680-2547 for a free estimate and a written price before anything starts.
Why Claremont Homes Are Different
Claremont sits at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains, and that foothill position shapes nearly every construction decision. Summer temperatures regularly climb into the 90s and low 100s, so insulation, ventilation, and window selection matter more here than in coastal cities. Older neighborhoods around the Village and north of Foothill Boulevard are dense with Craftsman bungalows and Spanish Colonial homes from the early 20th century, many of which were built on raised foundations and still have lathe-and-plaster walls. When we open those walls, we often find knob-and-tube wiring or cast-iron drain lines that need replacement before new tile or cabinetry can go in.
The terrain matters too. Properties on the north side of Claremont climb toward the mountains, which affects drainage, retaining walls, and how we stage materials on a job site. Soil in this area has a high clay content, so when it swells in wet winters and shrinks in dry summers, it stresses foundations and hardscape. Newer developments south of the 10 Freeway and in Stone Canyon are on more forgiving ground but often have strict HOA design review processes that add a layer of approvals before work can begin. Every one of these conditions changes the way we quote and schedule, which is why our written price comes after we have actually looked at the house, not from a generic formula.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Claremont Services
Two types of work dominate the calls we get from Claremont homeowners: whole-home transformations that need a general contractor managing everything from permits to finishes, and bathroom remodels that fix the cramped, outdated layouts common in homes built before 1980.
General Contractor in Claremont
As a general contractor in Claremont, we coordinate the entire project from structural work to final inspection. Many older Claremont homes need seismic retrofitting, electrical panel upgrades, or foundation corrections before any cosmetic work makes sense, and we handle that sequence so the homeowner never has to chase subcontractors. City permitting moves at its own pace here, and we manage plan submittals, inspections, and the back-and-forth that comes with working on older properties in the Village and surrounding neighborhoods. Every crew member arrives in a marked uniform with a photo ID badge, and you’ll know their name and face before they ever knock on your door. General Contractor in Claremont
Bathroom Remodeling in Claremont
Most bathrooms we remodel in Claremont are small, which is not a complaint, it is the starting point. Homes built in the 1950s and 1960s along Indian Hill Boulevard and in the areas around Memorial Park often have bathrooms in the 40 to 60 square foot range, so the design work is about gaining storage, light, and usability without moving walls. We regularly convert tubs to walk-in showers for older homeowners who want a low-threshold entry, and we quote these with a written line-item price so you see exactly where the budget goes. Schluter strips, the metal trim that seals the edge where tile meets flooring, are standard on our tile work because they prevent chips and cracks that are common with exposed tile edges.

Home Remodeling in Claremont
Full home remodeling in Claremont frequently means updating a 70 to 100 year old house while the family stays in it. That changes logistics: dust containment, scheduling around children and work-from-home routines, and phased construction that keeps at least one bathroom usable. We have done kitchen-first remodels in the Claraboya and Thompson Creek areas where the kitchen, dining, and living spaces are opened into one connected room. Home additions and ADU work are also common here, especially on larger lots where Claremont zoning allows for secondary units. You will get a written price before any tools are unpacked, and a written guarantee that covers the work for 365 days from the completion date. Home Remodeling in Claremont
