Remodeling Company in Ontario, CA
Home renovation in Ontario means working with houses that were mostly built between 1950 and 1980, when galvanized plumbing was standard and foundations were poured on former citrus grove soil. Those homes now need real upgrades: foundation attention, plumbing replacement, and floor plans that work for how families live today. Polaris Contractors handles the full scope, from the roof down to the pavers, so you’re not juggling five different crews. Call (855) 473-6535 to talk through your project.
Why Ontario Homes Are Different
Ontario’s housing stock tells two stories. The residential neighborhoods, especially in the 91761 and 91762 ZIPs, are filled with ranch-style homes from the 1950s through the 1970s. These houses have wood-frame construction, original galvanized pipes that corrode from the inside out, and foundations that have spent decades reacting to Ontario’s hot, dry summers and Santa Ana winds. Soil drying and subsidence here is real: we regularly see cracked slabs and hairline foundation fractures in older Ontario homes that would go unnoticed in coastal cities.
The 91764 ZIP has its own quirk. Many postwar homes there were built on former citrus groves, which means old irrigation lines and buried organic debris still sit in the soil. When that organic material decomposes, it leaves voids. New foundation work in that area often requires over-excavation and compaction reports before concrete goes down. Ontario’s building inspectors also take a close look at ADU projects, since the city has been pushing hard to meet state housing mandates. Expect requests for soil reports and drainage plans on any addition.
For homeowners, this means renovation in Ontario is rarely a cosmetic exercise. The best projects address the structure first: foundation bolting, shear-wall retrofits, and drain plane corrections. Get that right, and the kitchen and bath work that follows actually lasts.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Ontario Services
Two service areas account for most of the calls we take from Ontario homeowners: full-scope general contracting and whole-home remodeling. Here’s what each looks like in this city.
General Contractor in Ontario
When an Ontario renovation touches structure, plumbing, electrical, and finishes, you need one accountable party coordinating the entire job. That’s the General Contractor in Ontario role we play. In Ontario’s older ranch homes, this often means sequencing foundation work, re-piping, and interior remodeling so the house stays livable while the work happens. We manage every trade under one contract, pull the permits, and deal with the city’s inspection schedule so you don’t have to. One team, full scope, from structural retrofits to the final coat of paint.
Home Remodeling in Ontario
Whole-home remodeling in Ontario usually starts with the question of whether to keep the original footprint or open it up. Many 1960s ranch homes have compartmentalized layouts that don’t match how families live now. Our Home Remodeling in Ontario work includes reconfiguring kitchens and baths, moving walls where the structure allows, replacing windows and doors, and upgrading finishes throughout. Because Ontario’s climate swings from dry heat to occasional winter rain, we also address exterior drainage and building envelope issues as part of the remodel, not as an afterthought.

Home Renovation in Ontario
Home renovation in Ontario, CA is a different job than it is in newer cities. The housing stock here is predominantly 1950s to 1970s ranch construction, which means galvanized supply lines, undersized electrical panels, and foundations that have shifted through decades of hot, dry summers and Santa Ana wind seasons. Renovating these homes properly means addressing what’s behind the walls before you spend money on what’s in front of them. Polaris Contractors has served Ontario since 2018, and we approach every renovation as a full-scope project: structure first, systems second, finishes third. That sequencing is what prevents a beautiful new kitchen from sitting on top of a failing foundation. You can read more about our renovation approach on our Home Renovation page, but the short version is this: one contract, one accountable team, and a plan that respects how Ontario’s older homes actually behave.

What Ontario Customers Say
"Every inspection passed first time. The building department clearly knows him and that made the whole process easier."
— Yolanda Herrera"Excellent build. Costs came in about six percent over the original contract, driven mostly by material price movement during the build, which he documented each time."
— Marisol Morales"He was upfront about a soil issue that added cost early rather than absorbing it and surprising us at the end."
— Brandon Lin
