Fast, Reliable Home Remodeling Across Ontario
Home remodeling in Ontario runs about $14,000 – $45,000 for a kitchen, $9,000 – $28,000 for a bathroom, and $45,000 – $130,000 for a home addition. Those are the real numbers we quote every week across 91761, 91762, and 91764. Polaris Contractors manages the entire job, from structural work and roofing to cabinets and countertops, under one contract. If you’re planning a remodel and want one team accountable from first permit to final inspection, call Rick Sondermann and our crew at (855) 473-6535 for a free estimate.
Why Polaris Contractors Is Ontario’s Preferred Home Remodeling Company
We’ve worked all over Ontario, from ranch homes in the 91761 corridor to newer builds near the 91764 foothills. Rick Sondermann built Polaris Contractors around the idea that a homeowner shouldn’t have to coordinate five different subs just to get a kitchen done. One team, full scope. That means we handle the framing, the plumbing, the electrical, the finishes, and the final walk-through. Our Ontario customers tell us the same thing: they’re tired of playing general contractor on their own project.
We know how Ontario’s building department operates, especially the scrutiny ADU permits now get across the city. We know which inspectors push for additional drainage plans in 91764 and which neighborhoods still have original galvanized plumbing that needs replacement mid-remodel. That local knowledge keeps your job moving instead of stalling at permit review. Call (855) 473-6535 and we’ll walk you through what your specific home needs.
Our reputation in Ontario is built on documented work. Not vague promises. When we over-excavate a foundation because we found buried irrigation line, we photograph it, note it in the permit file, and hand you the paper trail. That’s what separates a licensed general contractor from a guy with a truck and a bid.

Luxury Home Remodeling in Ontario
Luxury home remodeling in Ontario means something specific when you’re dealing with 1950s-to-1970s ranch stock: you’re often rebuilding the home’s bones while you upgrade its finishes. A $45,000 kitchen remodel in 91762 might include structural shear-wall retrofits behind new KraftMaid cabinetry, not just new countertops and tile. The real cost driver in Ontario, especially in 91764, is what’s under the slab and behind the drywall.
Ontario homeowners call us for luxury remodels when they’ve outgrown a galley kitchen or a single 5×8 bath, and they want Cambria quartz, Grohe fixtures, and a layout that works for how they actually live. We specify materials to the home’s structural reality. A 1963 ranch with settled framing needs different prep than a 1990s track home.
Kitchen and Bath Upgrades
We guide you through cabinet, countertop, and fixture selection without drowning you in catalogs. KraftMaid and Wellborn for cabinets. Cambria and Silestone for quartz. Kohler and Grohe for fixtures. We match product tier to your budget and your home’s bones, not to a default price point.
Whole-Home Finishes
When a luxury remodel extends beyond one room, we coordinate flooring, trim, millwork, and hardware across the entire scope. That’s the advantage of a single-source contractor. The same crew that opens your wall also hangs your cabinet boxes and sets your tile. No finger-pointing between trades.
Full Home Remodel in Ontario
A full home remodel in Ontario often starts with what you can’t see: the foundation, the shear walls, the plumbing. Homes in 91761 and 91762 built between 1950 and 1975 were framed to code at the time, but that code predates current wind-load and seismic requirements by decades. So a full home remodel here means bringing the whole structure up to standard while you renew the finishes.
We recently remodeled a 1962 ranch in 91764 and found a buried citrus irrigation line and a pocket of organic debris under the original slab. Our crew over-excavated, brought in engineered fill, and added shear-wall anchors to meet current wind-load and seismic requirements. The fix passed inspection sign-off and the homeowner’s insurance adjuster later cited the documented soil report when reviewing a claim. That’s what a full home remodel in Ontario actually involves.
Structural and Envelope Work
Roofing, windows, doors, and shear hardware get handled as one coordinated scope, not separate bids. Impact windows from PGT or CGI meet wind-load ratings Ontario inspectors expect. GAF or CertainTeed roofing tied to current code. From the roof down to the pavers, one crew owns the result.
Interior Build-Out
Kitchens, baths, flooring, and finish work all sequence behind the structural work. We don’t install $10,000 worth of Cambria countertop on framing that hasn’t been inspected. Permits get pulled, inspections get scheduled, and you see the documentation at every step.
Trusted Brands We Service in Ontario
We stock and install Schluter waterproofing systems, Sterling bath products, Grohe fixtures, and GAF roofing across Ontario. These aren’t brands we pick at random. Schluter’s bonded waterproofing holds up in Ontario’s dry heat and occasional winter rain. GAF’s wind-rated shingles stand up to Santa Ana gusts that rip cheaper materials off the roof deck. When you remodel in Ontario, the brand matters as much as the installer. We’ll guide you to the right material, and we’re built to the brand’s specification, installed to ours. Call (855) 473-6535 to talk through options.

AfterCommon Home Remodeling Problems We See in Ontario Homes
- Buried citrus irrigation lines and organic debris under slabs in 91764. These old farm remnants rot, settle, and create voids under foundations. Inspectors now demand over-excavation and engineered fill, so a cheap quote that skips the soils report won’t pass.
- Original galvanized plumbing in 1950s and 1960s ranch homes. The pipes corrode from the inside, narrowing flow and eventually leaking. Any remodel that opens a wall should budget for supply-line replacement, not just fixture swaps.
- Missing shear-wall and foundation anchors. Ontario’s older homes were built before current seismic and wind-load codes. Opening walls for a kitchen or bath remodel triggers inspection requirements to retrofit steel anchors into the foundation and framing.
- Failed permit sign-offs on ADU projects. Ontario’s aggressive push for state housing mandates means building inspectors scrutinize ADU foundations closely. Without a soils report and drainage plan, the project stalls at inspection and resets your timeline.

FAQs About Home Remodeling in Ontario
Ontario’s prevailing code requirements for remodels that open exterior walls or add openings typically call for components rated for the region’s wind zone, which in practice means impact-rated windows and shear-wall hardware designed for high-wind exposure. We specify PGT or CGI windows and Simpson or equivalent shear anchors that meet the current engineering reports for your specific tract. A cheap quote that uses standard non-impact windows or skips shear anchors will likely fail inspection sign-off. Call (855) 473-6535 and we’ll check your address against the current map.
Because much of 91764 sits on former citrus groves. Old irrigation lines and decomposing organic matter under the topsoil create voids and uneven bearing capacity. Ontario’s building department now asks for a soils report and, often, a drainage plan before signing off on ADU foundations. We pull the soils report during design, not after excavation starts, so your permit packet is complete before review.
Documented compliance, meaning permits, inspection sign-offs, engineering reports, and material specifications, gives your insurance carrier proof that the work meets current wind, seismic, and drainage codes. That documentation frequently supports premium credits or at minimum protects your claim from being denied on non-permitted work grounds. We hand you the full paper trail at close-out.
You should see specific line items for a soils report in 91764 or other high-risk tracts, shear-wall and foundation anchor retrofit, impact-rated window and door specifications, plumbing replacement allowance, and permit and inspection fees. A cheap quote leaves those out, then hits you with a change order after rough-in. Polaris writes fixed pricing with no undefined allowances, and we explain every line before you sign. Call (855) 473-6535 for a free written estimate.
Yes. Any remodel that touches electrical, plumbing, load-bearing walls, or the building envelope requires a permit in Ontario. We pull permits, schedule inspections, and document every sign-off. That’s the difference between a remodel that supports your home’s resale value and one that comes back to haunt you at sale. Your project, managed start to finish.
