Fast, Reliable General Contractor Across Fontana
Finding a general contractor in Fontana who actually shows up when they say they will, pulls permits correctly, and doesn’t disappear mid-project is harder than it should be. We work across Fontana every week, from the older ranch houses near Jurupa Avenue to the newer subdivisions south of the 210, and we know what these homes need. Call (855) 600-3192 for a straight answer and a free estimate. If you’re planning a kitchen remodel, a room addition, or a full exterior replacement, we handle every trade under one contract.
Fontana’s housing stock is specific. Post-WWII tract homes in 92335 and 92336 hide aging galvanized pipes, cloth-wrapped or undersized wiring, and framing that predates modern seismic codes. Contractors who don’t know this city underprice the job, then hit you with surprise change orders once walls are open. We price for what we expect to find, and we walk you through exactly what happens when we find more.
Why Stallion Contractors Is Fontana’s Preferred General Contractor Company
We’ve earned the trust of Fontana homeowners by being direct about what a remodel actually costs, including the hidden work most contractors leave out of the quote. When you open up a 1950s or 1960s Fontana home, you’re going to find things. Original galvanized plumbing that’s corroded from decades of hard water. Electrical panels that can’t support a modern kitchen. Framing that needs blocking before new cabinetry goes in. We inspect first, write allowances into the contract, and never touch anything you haven’t approved in writing.
Our team is led by Ruben Montoya, who has spent years managing remodels and whole-home renovations across the Inland Empire. Ruben’s approach is simple: tell the homeowner the truth about their house, price the job honestly, and run the project like it’s his own. That’s why Fontana customers keep calling us back for second and third projects, and why they refer us to neighbors in Bloomington and Rialto.
We respond to Fontana service calls quickly, and we keep our material sourcing local where it makes sense. When wind from the Cajon Pass kicks up during exterior work, we adjust staging and containment so dust doesn’t end up inside your house or your neighbor’s yard. That’s the kind of thing you learn from actually working in Fontana, not from a corporate playbook.

General Contractor Services in Fontana
General Contractor Services in Fontana means managing a remodel from the first structural inspection to the final coat of paint, and everything in between. When a Fontana homeowner calls us, it’s usually because they’ve got a 1950s ranch house that needs major plumbing and electrical upgrades alongside new finishes, or they’re adding space to a home that shrunk as their family grew. Kitchen remodels here typically land between $14,000 and $45,000, depending on what’s behind the walls and how far you want to push the design.
Inspection Before Pricing
We don’t quote a Fontana remodel from a photo. Our pre-bid inspection includes pulling a few outlet covers, checking the panel, tracing water lines, and looking for signs of past water damage or DIY framing. This takes an hour and saves you from a quote that’s fiction. After inspection, the number we give you reflects the actual condition of your house, not an optimistic guess.
Allowances Written Into the Contract
Every major system that could surprise us gets a line-item allowance. Plumbing, electrical, framing, drywall repair, and structural reinforcing all carry specific dollar amounts in the contract. If we open a wall and find corroded galvanized pipes in a Fontana home near the 10 freeway, we already have a budget line for that upgrade. You approve the change order, we do the work, and the job keeps moving.

Construction Company in Fontana
Construction Company work in Fontana runs the full range from kitchen and bath remodels to complete exterior replacements, and we bring the same inspection-first discipline to every job. Home additions here run $45,000 to $130,000, depending on square footage, foundation work, and what the city requires. ADU construction falls between $90,000 and $220,000, and Fontana’s growing interest in accessory units means we’re seeing more of these permits than ever. Whether you’re adding a primary suite or re-roofing and re-siding the whole house, one contract covers it.
Whole-Home Scope, One Contractor
Most Fontana homeowners have been burned by the subcontractor shuffle: the tile guy blames the plumber, the plumber blames the electrician, and nobody takes responsibility for the finished product. We eliminate that. Our General Contractor team manages every trade directly, from cabinetry and countertops to roofing and fencing. You call one number, and one person is accountable for the result.
Permits Pulled, Inspections Passed
Fontana requires permits for room additions, ADUs, and any work that touches structural framing, electrical, or plumbing. We pull every permit the job requires, schedule inspections, and don’t cover anything up until the inspector signs off. If a project triggers a code upgrade, we’ll tell you before we start, not after the walls are closed.
Trusted Brands We Service in Fontana
Material choice matters, and in Fontana’s heat and wind, it matters more than most people realize. We stock and install products from brands like Cambria and Silestone for countertops that hold up to hard water and daily use, James Hardie siding that handles the Santa Ana wind events without warping or cracking, and GAF or CertainTeed roofing systems built for high UV and wind-driven debris. Our partnerships with Dvele and Boxabl give Fontana homeowners access to prefab ADU solutions that many traditional remodelers can’t offer. We keep material lead times short because we order direct from manufacturers, not through a middleman.

AfterCommon General Contractor Problems We See in Fontana Homes
- Corroded galvanized plumbing. Original pipes in 1950s and 1960s Fontana homes are often rusted from the inside, reducing water pressure and risking leaks inside walls. We replace them with copper or PEX before new finishes go in.
- Undersized electrical panels. A 60-amp or 100-amp panel can’t handle a modern kitchen with double ovens, induction cooktops, and dedicated appliance circuits. We upgrade panels and add AFCI protection to meet current code.
- Framing issues behind drywall. Many Fontana tract homes were built quickly, with undersized headers and minimal blocking. When we hang new cabinetry or open a wall for a room addition, we reinforce framing to current standards.
- Wind-driven dust infiltration. Homes near the base of the Cajon Pass constantly battle dust that works its way through old windows, under doors, and into attic spaces. Exterior replacements need proper sealing and weatherstripping, not just a quick swap.
Pricing for General Contractor in Fontana, CA
Fontana pricing comes down to what’s hiding in your walls and what you want the finished space to look like. Here are the ranges we see most often:
| Project | Fontana Price Range |
|---|---|
| Kitchen Remodel | $14,000 – $45,000 |
| Bathroom Remodel | $9,000 – $28,000 |
| Room Addition | $45,000 – $130,000 |
| ADU Construction | $90,000 – $220,000 |
| Roof Replacement | $8,000 – $20,000 |
| Paver Patio Installation | $3,500 – $11,000 |
The biggest cost driver in Fontana is what we find during inspection. A house with updated plumbing and a modern panel will come in at the lower end of these ranges. A 1958 ranch house with original galvanized pipes and cloth wiring will land higher, because the code upgrades are mandatory, not optional. Call (855) 600-3192 for a free estimate and we’ll give you a real number based on your house, not an industry average. Estimates are free, and every quote includes written allowances for the unknown conditions we expect to find.

FAQs About General Contractor in Fontana
In Fontana’s post-WWII homes, the most common triggers are plumbing and electrical discoveries: corroded galvanized pipes, undersized wiring, panels that can’t pass inspection, and framing that needs reinforcing. We recently finished a kitchen and bath remodel on a 1958 ranch house near Jurupa Avenue and Sierra Avenue in Fontana, where opening the walls revealed cloth-wrapped wiring and severely corroded galvanized pipes. After our inspection, we wrote change orders to upgrade to copper plumbing and a new electrical panel, and the homeowner approved each line before we proceeded. The project passed final inspection sign-off in two weeks. Call (855) 600-3192 and we’ll walk you through how allowances work on your specific house.
Yes. Any room addition in Fontana requires permits through the city’s building department, regardless of square footage or whether you’re finishing existing space. We pull all permits, schedule inspections, and coordinate with the city throughout the job. Skipping permits saves nothing long-term: unpermitted work becomes a liability when you sell, and Fontana inspectors will flag it during any future remodel. We handle the paperwork and you get a signed-off, legal addition.
Fontana sits at the mouth of the Cajon Pass, and Santa Ana wind events can blow dust and debris across a job site with little warning. We use site containment measures like dust screens and staged material storage to keep debris from damaging fresh stucco, new paint, or open window openings. On exterior siding and roofing projects, we schedule work around forecasted wind events when possible, and we secure all materials at the end of every workday. This is standard practice for us in Fontana, not an add-on charge.
Expect the plumbing and electrical to need more work than the visible finishes. Kitchen remodels in 1950s Fontana homes typically require galvanized pipe replacement, an electrical panel upgrade, and new dedicated circuits for appliances, which adds to the total. We cover this during our pre-bid inspection so the quote you get reflects reality. The finished kitchen will be safer and more functional than a surface-level remodel, and you’ll know exactly what each line item cost.
Draws are tied to completed milestones, not arbitrary dates. For a typical Fontana remodel, you’ll pay a deposit to lock the schedule, then additional draws after rough-in inspection, after drywall and finishes, and a final payment after final inspection and punch-list completion. We spell out the exact draw percentages in the contract before work begins. You’ll never be asked to pay for work that hasn’t been completed or inspected.
