Fast, Reliable General Contractor Across Pomona
Hiring a General Contractor in Pomona means finding someone who understands the city’s pre-1960s housing stock before the first wall opens. Mason Remodeling has provided general contracting, bathroom remodeling, and whole-home remodeling since 2004, and our crews serve Pomona locally from the brand’s Los Angeles scheduling office. You get a written price before any work starts, a 365-day guarantee on completed work, and a live person on the phone whenever you call (803) 680-2547.
Why Mason Remodeling Is Pomona’s Preferred General Contractor Company
The first thing Pomona homeowners notice about our process is that we don’t bid off a visual walkthrough. We check the panel, we check joist sizing, and we write the scope of work around what’s actually behind the walls. That matters in a city where houses off Garey Avenue, Phillips Boulevard, and in the Lincoln Park neighborhood regularly carry original wiring and undersized framing. Mason Remodeling, led by Isaac Pruett, sets the price in writing before a single tool comes off the truck, and every crew member arrives with a name and photo sent to you in advance, a photo ID badge at the door, and a clean marked uniform. The 365-Day Done Right Promise applies across general contracting, bathroom remodeling, and whole-home remodels. If the work isn’t right within a year of completion, we make it right at no cost to you.
Styles & brands we work with
Licensed General Contractor in Pomona
A Licensed General Contractor in Pomona is the person responsible for pulling permits, scheduling inspections, coordinating subcontractors, and carrying the project from first demolition to final walkthrough. When a Pomona homeowner hires us for a remodel, an addition, or a garage conversion, we’re the single point of accountability. Kitchen remodels here typically run $14,000 to $45,000, home additions $45,000 to $130,000, and garage conversions $30,000 to $80,000. The license matters because Pomona’s building department enforces structural and electrical code on any project that touches load-bearing walls, panel capacity, or square footage. We pull permits, we schedule the inspections, and we don’t let a job stall at sign-off for paperwork that should have been filed in week one.
What We Handle
We scope and manage the rough-in, framing, drywall, finish carpentry, tile, cabinets, fixtures, and site clean-up. On a Pomona kitchen we’re typically coordinating the electrician for new circuits, the plumber for the rough-in, and the countertop fabricator for the template and install. The homeowner gets one number to call and one written price that covers the trade coordination, not five separate bids to chase.
How We Bid Pomona Work
Every estimate includes a line-item breakdown and an allowance sheet for materials like cabinets, counters, and fixtures. The allowance sheet is what keeps a job on budget when we open a wall and find something the last remodel hid. If a panel upgrade or subfloor repair becomes necessary, the allowance sheet flags it as a possible change order from day one, so the final invoice matches the conversation you had before we started.
Residential General Contractor in Pomona
A Residential General Contractor in Pomona handles the projects that make an older home livable for the way families actually use it now. That’s kitchens, baths, room additions, ADUs, and garage conversions. On a Pomona ranch or bungalow, the job often starts with correcting what’s hidden: a 100-amp panel that can’t carry a modern kitchen, floor joists that were sized for 1940s loads, or cloth wiring that needs to come out before we close the wall. Bathroom remodels in Pomona run $9,000 to $28,000, and a garage conversion ranges $30,000 to $80,000. We write the price before demolition, and we hold that price unless the scope changes and you approve the change order in writing.
Room Additions and ADUs
Pomona’s zoning allows ADUs on many residential lots, which is why we see so many homeowners converting garages or building detached units off the alley. An ADU construction project here runs $90,000 to $220,000, and the range depends heavily on whether you convert an existing garage or build new. We handle the site survey, the plans, the permit set, and the build, and we set the draw schedule so you’re only paying for completed phases.
Home Pricing and Permits
On any Pomona home addition or ADU, we include the cost of permits and inspections in the written price. We don’t skip permit pulls to save time, because an unpermitted garage conversion stalls at inspection and forces tear-out when the city catches it. The price we give you is the price you pay unless you change the scope mid-build, and that change comes as a written change order with a new price before any additional work begins.
Trusted Brands We Service in Pomona
Pomona homeowners regularly ask us about Abodu and Cover for ADU kits, and Mighty Buildings for panelized construction. We’re happy to work with those systems when the project and lot fit the product, and our material partnerships across KraftMaid, Wellborn, Cambria, Silestone, Kohler, Moen, GAF, and Belgard mean we can also source specification-grade products on a traditional build. Because our crews work Pomona regularly, we keep the turnaround on material quotes and replacements local instead of waiting on a regional lead time. We’ll tell you honestly which system fits your lot and your budget, and we’ll put that in writing before you commit.

AfterCommon General Contractor Problems We See in Pomona Homes
- Hidden panel and wiring issues. Pomona’s pre-1960s housing stock, built during the citrus-packing and rail-yard boom, frequently still carries original 100-amp panels, cloth wiring, or knob-and-tube circuits. A contractor who bids off a visual walkthrough never catches it, and the homeowner gets a change order mid-build.
- Undersized joists and load-bearing surprises. Homes along Holt Avenue and in the older blocks near downtown Pomona were framed to code from a different era. When a wall comes out, the joist sizing doesn’t always support the open-concept span the homeowner wanted, which means a beam and a post that should have been in the original scope.
- Moisture damage under old vinyl flooring. Many Pomona ranch homes were built slab-on-grade, and decades of original vinyl trapped moisture against the concrete. The subfloor repair only becomes visible after the first layer comes up, and it needs to be in the scope before the flooring goes down.
- Unpermitted past work. We routinely open walls and find previous unpermitted electrical or plumbing. When that happens, the fix has to be brought to current code before we can close up, or the city won’t sign off. A written scope from day one includes the contingency for exactly this.
Pricing for General Contractor in Pomona, CA
Pomona pricing reflects the age of the housing stock and what’s really behind the walls, not just the visible finishes. Here’s what we typically see across the city:
| Project | Pomona Price Range |
|---|---|
| Kitchen Remodel | $14,000 – $45,000 |
| Bathroom Remodel | $9,000 – $28,000 |
| Home Addition | $45,000 – $130,000 |
| ADU Construction | $90,000 – $220,000 |
| Garage Conversion | $30,000 – $80,000 |
| Roof Replacement | $8,000 – $20,000 |
The biggest cost drivers are panel upgrades, subfloor repair, and whether the original framing carries the new load. We write those contingencies into the allowance sheet before work starts, so you know the possible range up front. There’s no verbal estimate that grows on the final bill. Call (803) 680-2547 for a written line-item estimate on your Pomona project.

FAQs About General Contractor in Pomona
Yes. Pomona requires permits for garage conversions, and the work must meet current building, electrical, and plumbing code before the city will sign off. We pull the permit set as part of the written price and schedule the inspections so the project doesn’t stall at sign-off. Call (803) 680-2547 for a garage conversion estimate that includes permit costs.
The two biggest hidden cost drivers in Pomona are the panel and the subfloor. Many 1940s and 1950s kitchens still run on a 100-amp panel that can’t carry a modern appliance load, and slab-on-grade construction often trapped moisture under old vinyl. Our written scope carries a contingency line for each, so a kitchen that looks like $25,000 on the surface doesn’t become $35,000 after demo. We’ll show you the allowance sheet before work starts. Call (803) 680-2547 to get yours.
You pay for completed phases, not for promises. The draw schedule is laid out in the written contract before work begins, and each invoice comes after the work for that phase is done and inspected where applicable. On an ADU or addition, the draws typically cover site work and foundation, framing, rough-in, and finishes. We don’t take a deposit and disappear. Call (803) 680-2547 for a written contract that spells out every draw and what triggers the payment.
We can give you a fixed price for the scope of work as we see it at the time of the estimate. What we won’t do is pretend we know what’s behind a 1950s wall without opening it. That’s why our written price includes an allowance sheet that flags the likely contingencies, such as a panel upgrade or subfloor repair, with the cost range attached. If the scope changes, you get a written change order with a firm price before the additional work starts. That’s how we keep Pomona projects from running over budget. Call (803) 680-2547 for an estimate built that way.
The punch list is the walkthrough you do with us at the end of the job, room by room, where we mark every scratch, seam, or gap that needs touching up. We don’t call a Pomona job complete until the punch list is signed off, the permits are closed, and the final inspection is passed. The 365-Day Done Right Promise then covers the work for a full year from the completion date. If something isn’t right within that year, we come back at no charge. Call (803) 680-2547 if you have a Pomona project you want to review before you sign.
