Fast, Reliable General Contractor Across Highland
Finding a General Contractor who understands Highland means knowing the difference between flatland construction and foothill-edge work. In Highland, a re-roof, room addition, or fence replacement isn’t just about square footage. It’s about San Bernardino County fire-hazard review, wind-driven ember exposure, and materials that have to meet ignition-resistant standards before the permit gets approved. Stallion Contractors handles that complexity from the first site walk to the final inspection sign-off. If you’re planning a remodel, addition, or exterior replacement in Highland, call (855) 600-3192 for a free estimate and a straight answer on what your project actually needs.

Why Stallion Contractors Is Highland’s Preferred General Contractor Company
Highland homeowners keep calling us back because we do the paperwork other contractors skip. The foothill neighborhoods here, particularly the streets running up toward the hills off Base Line and the areas around 92346, fall under wildland-urban-interface review. That means a vinyl fence, a deck, or a re-roof has to document material ratings before the inspector will even look at it. We’ve walked dozens of those plan-check submittals through the county and we know what gets flagged and what passes the first time. Ruben Montoya, our owner, has made fire-hazard compliance a core part of how we bid work in Highland. When a homeowner calls us after a flatland quote fell apart mid-project, the frustration is always the same: nobody told them the scope had to include Class A materials and a fire-hazard review. We tell you before you sign.
Highland’s housing stock works in our favor too. The mix of mid-century and 1970s-90s tract homes, plus custom lots on the foothill edges, means we see the same conditions repeatedly: block walls, stucco-and-tile roofs nearing end of life, and older permitted-versus-unpermitted additions that need untangling. That repetition means our pricing for Highland is calibrated to real local conditions, not a generic regional average.
Styles & brands we work with







Remodeling Contractor in Highland
A Remodeling Contractor in Highland handles interior renovation work where the permit process and material choices interact with the same fire-hardening rules that govern exteriors. In practice, that means a kitchen or bath remodel in a 1970s tract home near the foothill edge often surfaces issues with older wiring, subfloor condition, and the permitted status of any past additions. We scope those before the plan check does, so the project doesn’t stall. A kitchen remodel in Highland typically runs $14,000 – $45,000 depending on cabinetry, countertop selection, and whether we’re moving plumbing or electrical. A bathroom remodel runs $9,000 – $28,000, and a small bathroom remodel typically lands between $5,000 and $12,000.
Kitchen and bath work that carries the permit file
When we remodel a kitchen in Highland, we’re not just swapping cabinets. We’re reconciling the as-built condition with what the county has on file. Older Highland homes often have unpermitted patio enclosures or utility-room conversions that affect the plan check. We document everything, submit it honestly, and keep the inspection record clean for your insurance carrier later.
Whole-home remodels on older Highland lots
Whole-home remodels in Highland often run into block-wall drainage and slope runoff issues where winter rain funnels off the foothills. We address grading and drainage as part of the build, not as a surprise change order. A full home addition in Highland typically runs $45,000 – $130,000.
Licensed General Contractor in Highland
A Licensed General Contractor in Highland carries the liability for every trade, every permit, and every inspection. That matters more in Highland than in flat neighborhoods because the county’s fire-hazard review makes the permit chain longer and the compliance record more important. We pull the permits, schedule the inspections, and walk the inspector through the fire-hazard paperwork on every project that requires it. Whether it’s a re-roof off Base Line, an ADU in a semi-rural lot, or an impact-window retrofit on a 92346 tract home, the license means one accountable party from start to finish. Home additions in Highland run $45,000 – $130,000, and ADU construction runs $90,000 – $220,000.
Wildfire-hardened exterior scopes
In Highland’s foothill-edge neighborhoods, a compliant exterior bid includes ignition-resistant roof coverings, ember-resistant attic vents, and wind-rated fasteners as standard line items. A cheap bid leaves those out and then issues change orders later. We carry them from the first estimate, so your quote reflects the real scope.
ADU and prefab capability
We partner with Abodu, Dvele, and Plant Prefab on ADU and prefab structure installation. That means a Highland homeowner who wants a permitted accessory dwelling unit on a semi-rural lot doesn’t have to wait through a traditional stick-built timeline. The prefab panels arrive with documentation that moves the fire-hazard review forward faster than a custom frame job.

Trusted Brands We Service in Highland
We stock and install from a deep bench of manufacturers that matter in high fire hazard zones. GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning roof systems carry Class A fire ratings we can document for the county. James Hardie siding meets ignition-resistant exterior requirements. PGT impact windows handle wind-load and ember exposure. Fencing from Master Halco and Jerith gives us rated metal options where HOA or WUI rules call for non-combustible materials. For concrete and paver work, Sakrete and Belgard products hold up through Highland’s hot summers and seasonal Santa Ana wind events. When a Highland homeowner calls, we can usually source and schedule materials faster because the supplier relationships are already in place.

AfterCommon General Contractor Problems We See in Highland Homes
- Flatland bids that understate fire-hazard scope. A re-roof or deck quote written for Redlands or San Bernardino flats often ignores the county plan-check requirements that apply in Highland’s foothill-edge zones. The homeowner finds out mid-project that ember-resistant vents, Class A underlayment, and plan-check submittal fees were never included.
- Unpermitted additions from the 1970s and 80s. Many Highland homes have patio enclosures or converted garages that were never drawn or inspected. When we submit for a new remodel, the plan check stalls on load-bearing questions and subfloor issues that were never documented. We untangle those before the inspector shows up.
- End-of-life roofs on older tract homes. The composition-shingle and tile roofs on Highland’s mid-century and 1970s-90s stock are hitting age limits. Combined with UV damage and wind-driven ember exposure, a roof that looks tired from the street is usually a compliance problem on the permit desk.
- Block-wall and slope drainage issues. Where the foothills meet older lots, winter rain funnels toward block walls and foundations. Grading and drainage have to be addressed as part of the build, not treated as a separate line item after water shows up in the crawlspace.

FAQs About General Contractor in Highland
A compliant Highland re-roof quote includes Class A fire-rated roof covering, ember-resistant attic vents, wind-rated fasteners, and the San Bernardino County fire-hazard review and plan-check submittal fees. A cheap flatland bid often prices a standard composition-shingle job without those line items, then issues change orders when the permit desk flags the deficiency. If the quote doesn’t mention WUI material ratings, it’s incomplete. Call (855) 600-3192 and ask us to line-item it for you.
Because Highland’s foothill-edge zones fall under San Bernardino County’s wildland-urban-interface review, which requires ignition-resistant materials, defensible-space documentation, and plan-check submittal for structural work that would be over-the-counter in the flats. The review covers roof assemblies, decking, vents, and exterior fencing. We handle that paperwork as part of the project.
Documented compliance gives your carrier a paper trail showing the roof rating, the ember-resistant vent installation, and the inspection sign-offs. After a Santa Ana wind event or storm damage, that file supports your claim and can factor into premium review. On a 1970s tract home near the foothill edge off Base Line, we rebuilt an end-of-life composition-shingle roof with a Class A assembly and ember-resistant vents. The owner’s carrier accepted the documentation, and the defensible-space and roof-rating record is now on file for their premium review.
Yes. We pull the as-built condition, bring the enclosure into the permit file, and address load-bearing and subfloor issues the county will flag. It’s common in Highland’s older tract stock. The remodel moves forward with a clean inspection record, which matters when you sell or file an insurance claim later.
A written scope of work with line-item allowances for ember-resistant vents, Class A underlayment, wind-rated fasteners, and plan-check submittal fees. The contract should name the permit party, the inspection schedule, and the fixed pricing with no change orders for items a compliant quote should have carried from day one. If it’s not written, don’t swing the hammer. Call (855) 600-3192 and we’ll put it in writing before you sign.
