Why Stallion Contractors Is Claremont’s Preferred Home Remodeling Company
Claremont homeowners don’t hand over a renovation to just anyone. They want a contractor who respects what makes this city different: the protected oaks, the design review process, the neighbors on the street who notice when a roofline changes. Our team knows the difference between a remodel that fits Claremont and one that fights it. We’ve managed projects that required re-siting a foundation around a mature sycamore’s root zone, re-specing windows to pass design review on a period-revival home near the Colleges, and coordinating with the city planning department when a simple addition turns into a protected-tree conversation.
Led by Ruben Montoya, our crew brings full-scope capability to every project. From the kitchen to the roofline, one contractor covers the interior remodel and the exterior work. Ruben’s approach is simple: write the scope down, spec the right materials, and don’t leave the homeowner chasing three different subs on a Tuesday afternoon. That’s what Claremont homeowners tell us they actually want.
Styles & brands we work with
Home Remodeling Companies in Claremont
Home Remodeling Companies in Claremont range from single-trade specialists to full-scope general contractors like us, but most handle one slice of the job. A homeowner renovating a kitchen, replacing windows, and adding a paver patio ends up coordinating a cabinet shop, a glazing contractor, and a hardscape crew. We do all of it under one contract, one schedule, and one point of accountability. That’s the whole reason Stallion Contractors exists.
What a Full-Scope Company Actually Does
We handle interior and exterior work. A Claremont kitchen remodel with new KraftMaid cabinetry, Cambria countertops, and a Schluter tile system is one contract. So is replacing the roof with GAF or CertainTeed materials and then installing PGT impact windows at the same time. No finger-pointing between trades, no “that’s not my scope” phone calls.
When Claremont Homeowners Call Us
The call usually comes when a homeowner realizes their kitchen no longer works, a bathroom is failing behind the walls, or an addition has to account for a protected tree. We also get calls from buyers closing on a 1940s bungalow near the Village who want to know what it really costs to bring the electrical, windows, and kitchen into this century. The answer is always a written estimate, not a guess.
Whole House Remodel in Claremont
A Whole House Remodel in Claremont is a different animal than a kitchen refresh. It means opening walls on a structure that may have knob-and-tube-era wiring, single-pane wood windows, and load-bearing walls that were never designed for the open floor plan you want. It also means the city wants to see plans that respect the street. In Claremont, that’s not bureaucracy; it’s the price of living in a city that still looks like itself after a hundred years.
Sequencing Around What You Can’t Move
We sequence the rough-in and structural work around what’s fixed: the mature oak in the back yard, the setback, the neighbor’s sightline to the San Gabriels. On one whole-house remodel of a 1920s Craftsman near the Colleges, we opened the rear wall and found original single-pane wood windows paired with knob-and-tube-era electrical. The rough-in and load-bearing work then had to be sequenced around a root-zone restriction for the mature oak in the back yard. We spec’d marine-grade stainless fasteners and a sealed joint detail on the new window frames rather than standard galvanized and a caulk line, and the difference showed up as a line item in the draw schedule, not as a surprise change order. The punch list closed clean because everything, scope, allowances, and the tree-protection plan, was in writing before we pulled permits.
What a Claremont Whole-House Remodel Costs
Home additions run $45,000 – $130,000 in Claremont. A full interior remodel that includes a kitchen, bathrooms, floors, windows, and structural work usually lands in the same range once you factor in materials and the local design-review process. If you add an ADU, expect $90,000 – $220,000 depending on whether you go stick-built or prefab through partners like Abodu or Plant Prefab.
Trusted Brands We Service in Claremont
We install and stand behind brands that hold up in Claremont’s hot, dry summers and Santa Ana wind exposure. Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone countertops. KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry. GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning roofing. James Hardie siding, PGT and CGI windows, Therma-Tru doors, Belgard and Unilock pavers. For ADU projects, we work with Abodu, Dvele, Mighty Buildings, and Plant Prefab. Having 50-plus vetted brand partners means we match the material to the job, not the showroom margin. Pro-grade materials, professionally installed.
Common Home Remodeling Problems We See in Claremont Homes
- Galvanized fasteners failing on window and door frames. Claremont’s hot day-to-cool night swing causes fast corrosion on builder-grade hardware. We see frames that were installed fine five years ago now showing rust bloom at the corners and joint separation at the caulk line.
- Fence posts and railing anchors rotting at the base. Irrigation overspray plus Santa Ana wind load means untreated or lightly coated hardware fails early. The fix is hot-dip galvanized or stainless hardware set in sealed post bases from day one.
- Paver joints opening after one or two seasons. Light-duty sealers can’t handle Claremont’s UV and heat cycle. Joints open, weeds move in, and a patio that looked finished in March needs re-sanding and re-sealing by September. We specify a heavier sealer and wider joint detail from the start.
- Protected-tree restrictions reshaping siting and grading. Because Claremont is a designated Tree City with a dense canopy of mature coast live oaks and sycamores, remodels here routinely get reshaped by tree review. Foundation depth, grading plans, and even where the dumpster sits can be dictated by the arborist’s report. A contractor who does not know this wastes weeks.

AfterPricing for Home Remodeling in Claremont, CA
Claremont pricing is driven by three things: the scope, the spec, and the tree report. A kitchen remodel runs $14,000 – $45,000. A bathroom runs $9,000 – $28,000. Window replacement runs $4,500 – $15,000 depending on whether you spec standard vinyl or impact-rated frames. A paver patio runs $3,500 – $11,000. The materials upgrade for Claremont’s climate, stainless or hot-dip hardware, sealed joints, heavier sealers, typically adds 8 – 12% to the hardware and finish line items. That’s the coastal-spec vs. inland-spec gap, and the cheap spec costs more within a decade when it fails.

FAQs About Home Remodeling in Claremont
Yes, and often more than you’d think. Claremont enforces protected-tree ordinances that can restrict grading, foundation depth, and even equipment access inside the root zone of mature oaks and sycamores. If a tree on your property is protected, you’ll need an arborist appraisal before we finalize plans. Call (855) 600-3192 and we’ll tell you what the tree means for your specific site.
The hardware itself runs 8 – 12% more, but the installed cost is often lower over a decade because it does not fail the way galvanized does in Claremont’s heat-and-irrigation combination. We’ve pulled fence posts set with standard hardware that were rusted through at the base in six years. The upgrade is a line item, not a markup.
Yes, a whole-house remodel in Claremont requires permits, and yes, the planning department is engaged. The process is not slow if the plans are complete and the tree report is in hand. Most delays we see come from incomplete submittals or a scope change after plan check. We pull permits and manage the review, so you’re not the one at the counter. Call (855) 600-3192 to get the process started.
Allowances are written as specific line items with dollar ceilings before we start. If you upgrade from a standard single-pane replacement to an impact-rated PGT window mid-project, that’s a written change order with the delta, not a surprise. Ruben Montoya runs the jobs, so the person who wrote your contract is the same person approving the change.
Yes. Matching a 1920s Craftsman near the Village or a mid-century ranch south of Foothill is about proportion, material, and trim detail, not just paint color. We’ve done period-appropriate window replacements, trim profiles, and siding that pass design review and look like they belong. We’ll show you examples on homes in your own zip code, 91711.
