Fast, Reliable Home Remodeling Across Pomona
Home remodeling in Pomona means working with homes that were mostly built between 1920 and 1965, and that changes how a good contractor scopes the job. We know the bungalows off West Holt Avenue, the Craftsman streets in 91766, and the hillside-adjacent lots in 91767 where clay soil moves under shallow foundations. Polaris Contractors handles everything from kitchens and bathrooms to full additions and roof-to-paver exterior work, with one contract and one accountable team. Call (855) 473-6535 for a free estimate on any scope you’re planning.
Why Polaris Contractors Is Pomona’s Preferred Home Remodeling Company
Pomona homeowners keep telling us the same thing: they’ve gotten three quotes, none of them match, and nobody wants to own the whole job. We built Polaris around fixing that. Rick Sondermann leads a general contracting team that covers interior, exterior, and structural work under one project agreement, so you’re not juggling a kitchen guy, a roofer, and a fence crew. When a Pomona homeowner calls, we talk through what the house actually needs before we talk finishes. That’s why much of our work in 91766 and 91767 comes from neighbors who watched us run a clean job down the street. Our reputation in Pomona is built on showing up when we say, keeping the site orderly, and documenting every permit and inspection step.
We’re not the cheapest bid in Pomona, and we won’t pretend to be. We price the work that actually needs doing, including the structural and drainage corrections older Pomona lots so often require. Homeowners tell us the free estimate is what won them over. It’s line-itemed, it’s honest, and it doesn’t vanish the hard stuff that a cheap quote conveniently leaves out.
Styles & brands we work with
Full Home Remodel in Pomona
A Full Home Remodel in Pomona typically runs $45,000 to $130,000 depending on square footage, structural condition, and the material tier you choose. On Pomona’s older stock, that number reflects something a cosmetic estimate won’t: opening walls on a pre-1960s house often reveals clay-soil settling, undersized headers, or framing that has racked over decades of drought-and-rain cycles. We sequence the work so the structural fix, foundation correction, and drainage improvements happen before any finish material goes in. Then we install what you actually picked, from KraftMaid cabinetry to Cambria counters, as part of one managed scope.
When a Full Home Remodel Makes Sense in Pomona
If you’re in a 1940s Spanish-Revival in 91766 and want a kitchen that flows into the dining room, the wall you’re opening is likely load-bearing on a shallow footing. We plan for that on day one, not as a change order in week three. A full-scope remodel also makes sense when wind, sun, and soil have each taken their toll: roof, windows, stucco, and foundation all aging together.
What the Scope Includes
We permit, we build, and we close out with final inspection sign-off. Kitchen, baths, flooring, windows, doors, structural repair, roof, and exterior hardscape can all fall under one agreement. No separate bids, no finger-pointing between trades.
Home Remodeling Contractor in Pomona
Hiring a Home Remodeling Contractor in Pomona is a different decision than it is in newer parts of Los Angeles County. Here, the houses are older, the lots are on expansive clay, and the Santa Ana winds funnel down from the San Gabriels hard enough to matter. A contractor who only does cosmetic kitchen and bath work will sell you a pretty finish and leave the settling under it. That’s where we start differently. We look at the foundation, the drainage, and the wall structure before we talk tile patterns. Typical Pomona remodels in our pipeline range from a $14,000 kitchen to a $130,000 addition, and the structural portion of that is always documented and inspected.
One Team From Roof to Pavers
If you want a kitchen remodel and the roof needs replacing and the driveway is cracked through, we’ll price it as one project with one schedule and one accountable GC. That’s the full-scope model, and it works especially well in Pomona where older homes have compounding needs.
Materials That Match the Weather
We guide you to materials that hold up under Pomona’s heat and wind: impact-rated windows, cement lap siding, Belgian and paver hardscaping systems, and roofing specified by warranty tier. We’ll guide you to the right material, not overwhelm you with a 50-brand menu.
Trusted Brands We Service in Pomona
Pomona customers often ask us what we actually install, and the answer is simple: brands we trust enough to stand behind. We work with Therma-Tru for exterior doors that handle direct afternoon heat and wind-driven grit, ECO Window Systems for impact-rated window packages on windward exposures, and ES Windows for projects where the homeowner wants a cleaner, thicker frame without a bulky look. Because our Pomona jobs are local, we can order and receive parts quickly when a mid-project adjustment comes up. Built to the brand’s specification, installed to ours.
Common Home Remodeling Problems We See in Pomona Homes
- Foundation settling on expansive clay. Much of 91766 and 91767 sits on soil that swells when it rains and shrinks in drought. Finished work that ignores this re-cracks within a season or two, and we see it on tile, drywall corners, and door frames throughout older Pomona neighborhoods.
- Racked framing in pre-1960s bungalows. On a Craftsman off West Holt Avenue, we opened a kitchen wall and found the original framing had shifted enough to stick every interior door. That’s not a trim issue; it’s a structural repair with permits and a new load-bearing header.
- Santa Ana wind damage to roofs, stucco, and fences. Pomona’s wind events tear at loose flashing and lift shingles on north-facing slopes. Remodels that skip a roof inspection before interior work are asking for water intrusion into new ceilings and insulation.
- Undocumented load-bearing wall changes. A previous owner opened a wall, never pulled permits, and left an undersized header. When you buy the house, that liability is yours. We bring it up to current code and get the inspection sign-off so your investment is documented.

FAQs About Home Remodeling in Pomona
In many cases, yes. Pomona’s position at the foot of the San Gabriels puts parts of the city in higher wind-load zones, and the older housing stock in 91766 and 91767 often triggers seismic retrofit requirements when load-bearing walls are modified or an addition changes the building’s footprint. A compliant quote includes the engineering calc, the permit, and the inspection sign-off. Call (855) 473-6535 to walk through what your specific project would trigger.
Because it’s invisible work that doesn’t photograph well, and it eats into the budget a homeowner can see. On Pomona’s expansive clay, leaving it out means new tile and new doors will fail within a season or two. We include a foundation and drainage evaluation in every structural scope, and we don’t hide it under a vague “contingency” line.
Documentation is what separates a paid claim from a denied one. If a Santa Ana wind event damages a wall or roof we permitted and inspected, there’s a paper trail showing the work met code at the time. An undocumented remodel leaves you arguing with an adjuster about when the damage happened and who’s responsible. Call (855) 473-6535 and we’ll explain what documentation your project would carry.
A compliant quote includes the permit line, the engineering calc for load-bearing work, a written drainage-and-foundation evaluation, and an inspection pass line item. A cheap one skips all four and hopes the house doesn’t move. On Pomona’s clay soil, it will move. We’ll show you exactly where the cheap quote cuts the part that keeps your remodel standing.
Yes, we do it regularly. The trick is budgeting for what’s behind the plaster before you pick finishes. On a Craftsman off West Holt Avenue in 91766, our crew opened a kitchen wall and found the original framing had racked from clay-soil settling. We pulled permits, upgraded the load-bearing header, added footing and drainage correction, and then the KraftMaid cabinets and Cambria counters went in on schedule. Call (855) 473-6535 for a free estimate on your bungalow.
