Remodeling Company in Highland, CA
Highland home renovations carry two realities most other Inland Empire cities don’t: fire-conscious building codes where the foothills meet the San Bernardino National Forest, and clay-heavy soils that move enough to crack slabs and shift foundations. Polaris Contractors has served Highland since 2018, running full-scope renovations from the roofline down to the pavers under one project agreement. When you call (855) 473-6535, you’re talking to the team that manages every trade, not a dispatcher passing your number to a stranger.
Why Highland Homes Are Different
Most of Highland’s housing stock dates from the 1950s through the 1980s: wood-frame stucco tract homes on former citrus land, with newer infill mixed into the east side. Those older homes were built before anyone seriously thought about ember intrusion or expansive clay. Walk through East Highland and you’ll see driveways with hairline cracks from seasonal soil swell and shrink, rooflines with original 30-year composition shingles, and single-pane aluminum windows that leak cooled air straight into the hot summer afternoon.
The foothill streets closer to Highway 330 face a different layer of rules. Homes there sit in the wildland-urban interface, which means any roof replacement, re-side, or window swap can trigger Chapter 7A ignition-resistant requirements: Class A roofing, ember-resistant vents, and specific siding profiles that flatland contractors often miss. Highland projects reward a contractor who reads that map. Polaris does.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Highland Services
Two scopes handle most of what Highland homeowners call us about. Both pull from the same 50+ vetted brand roster and the same single-point-of-accountability model.
General Contractor in Highland
When a Highland project spans structural work, exterior upgrades, and interior finishes, you need one contract and one accountable team. We cover the full envelope: roofing systems from GAF and CertainTeed, impact-rated windows from PGT and ECO Window Systems, siding, fencing, and interior remodeling. That coordination matters most on foothill properties where fire-hardening and soil conditions force decisions no single-trade contractor is positioned to make. General Contractor in Highland services run from whole-home renovations to additions and garage conversions, all managed start to finish by Polaris.
Home Remodeling in Highland
Highland kitchens and baths from the mid-century era usually outlive their original layouts, plumbing, and electrical panels. Our remodeling scope handles cabinet replacement with KraftMaid and Wellborn, quartz countertops from Cambria and Silestone, fixtures from Kohler and Grohe, and the structural changes that open up closed floor plans. On older Highland homes we routinely find cast-iron drain lines and undersized circuits that have to be addressed before finishes go in. Home Remodeling in Highland covers kitchens, baths, and whole-interior updates under one team.

Home Renovation in Highland
Home renovation in Highland means working with what the 1950s through 1980s builders left behind: solid framing but outdated layouts, original windows, and foundations poured over clay that has been moving for decades. The specific problems this service solves are homes that no longer function for the people living in them, and exteriors that need Chapter 7A upgrades before the next Santa Ana wind event. Polaris Contractors manages the entire scope, from structural corrections to final trim, through Home Renovation services built around one contract and one accountable team.
Home Renovation Contractors
Signs you need it
You have a Highland home where the floor plan fights daily life, systems are outdated, and exterior finishes no longer meet foothill fire-hardening standards.
What it costs in Highland
Whole-home renovation in Highland typically runs $45,000 to $130,000 depending on square footage, structural corrections, and fire-resistant exterior upgrades.
How we do it
We map every trade and material decision before demolition, pull all Highland permits, and run the job as one coordinated sequence rather than separate specialty bids.
Home Improvement Contractors
Signs you need it
Your Highland home has multiple smaller projects that keep stacking up: tired kitchen, leaking shower, drafty windows, and a driveway that’s cracking from clay soil movement.
What it costs in Highland
Bundled home improvement scopes in Highland land between $14,000 and $45,000 for kitchen work, $9,000 to $28,000 for bathrooms, and $4,500 to $15,000 for window replacement.
How we do it
We consolidate every trade under one project agreement so you’re not juggling a window company, a tile crew, and a fencing contractor on different schedules.
What Home Renovation Costs in Highland
| Item | Typical range in Highland |
|---|---|
| Kitchen Remodel | $14,000 – $45,000 |
| Bathroom Remodel | $9,000 – $28,000 |
| Roof Replacement | $8,000 – $20,000 |
How long does a home renovation take in Highland?
Most full-home renovations in Highland run 3 to 6 months depending on scope and permit review. Foothill properties with Chapter 7A upgrades can add 2 to 4 weeks for plan review and material lead times. Call (855) 473-6535 for a realistic timeline on your specific house.
Do I need fire-hardening upgrades for a Highland renovation?
If your home sits near the wildland-urban interface along the foothills, yes. Roof, siding, and vent changes routinely trigger Chapter 7A requirements for ignition-resistant materials. Flatland Highland homes generally do not face the same mandate. We’ll confirm during the estimate.
Brands We Service in Highland
Our Highland jobs lean on window and door systems built for Inland Empire heat and wind, including our brands like ECO Window Systems, ES Windows, and Therma-Tru. We also stock and install Mr-Glass products where the project calls for precision glazing. Most replacement parts for these brands arrive in Highland within a week.

Foothill properties push the top of every range because Chapter 7A materials and plan review add real cost. Clay soil conditions on older slabs can also add foundation correction line items. Every Polaris estimate is written line by line, and the price we agree on is the price we build to: no change orders unless you change the scope.

FAQs About Remodeling Company in Highland
Yes. Polaris pulls every required permit with the City of Highland and any applicable county overlay, and we schedule inspections ourselves. Foothill projects requiring Chapter 7A review get handled through the same process. You’ll never be asked to pull an owner-builder permit unless you request it.
Homes along the foothill edge toward the San Bernardino National Forest, especially streets close to Highway 330, sit in the wildland-urban interface. Roof replacements, re-siding, and window swaps there typically require Chapter 7A ignition-resistant materials and ember-rated vents. Flatland Highland generally does not.
Yes. Clay-heavy soil across Highland causes seasonal swell and shrink that cracks driveways, walks, and occasionally slab foundations. We assess cracking as part of every estimate and bring in structural corrections before finish work begins. Call (855) 473-6535 to schedule a free estimate for your Highland property.

What Highland Customers Say
"Quality construction and a professional operation. Communication was strongest at the site meetings, and slower by email in between."
— Marcus Mosley"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
