Remodeling Company in Highland, CA
Home renovation in Highland means working with homes that sit at the base of the San Bernardino Mountains, where fire code Chapter 7A shapes nearly every exterior decision and the housing stock runs from mid-century ranch homes to 2000s tract builds east of Baseline. Gold Star Contractors has served Highland since 2012, managing full-scope renovations from kitchens and bathrooms to roofing, windows, and ADUs under one accountable team. Call (833) 382-8544 for a free estimate on your Highland project.
Why Highland Homes Are Different
Highland sits in a high-fire-severity zone at the foot of the San Bernardino Mountains. That single fact changes construction here more than anything else. When we renovate a home in Highland, the exterior scope is never just about curb appeal. Chapter 7A of the California Building Code requires ignition-resistant roofing, ember-resistant vents, and non-combustible siding on hillside rebuilds and many additions. Homes in Redlands or Loma Linda trigger these rules far less often.
The housing stock compounds the challenge. Highland’s older neighborhoods off Baseline and Webster are full of mid-century ranch homes on generous lots, many with original wood-shake roofs and eave vents that inspectors now flag during any reroof or addition. The 1980s through 2000s tract subdivisions east of Baseline bring their own issues: production-grade materials hitting the end of their service life, floor plans that need reworking, and drainage problems that show up during winter rains. Hot, dry summers with Santa Ana wind events mean exterior work timing matters. We schedule roofing and siding around wind forecasts, and we spec materials that hold up to prolonged UV exposure without warping or fading. When we work a hillside lot off Greenspot Road or along the foothill edges, grading and drainage become part of the conversation from day one.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Highland Services
Two services handle most of what Highland homeowners call us about: full general contracting for the complex projects, and scoped home remodeling for the rest.
General Contractor in Highland
When a Highland project touches multiple trades at once, a general contractor is the difference between a coordinated build and a schedule that drifts for months. Hillside additions in the fire zone often require structural engineering, Chapter 7A exterior upgrades, and careful sequencing with the building department. We manage the full scope as General Contractor in Highland, from permits and inspections to trade coordination, so the homeowner never chases subs across the 92346 area.
Home Remodeling in Highland
Remodeling a Highland home usually means working with an existing structure that needs selective upgrades rather than a full rebuild. Kitchens in 1990s tract homes east of Baseline, bathrooms in mid-century ranches off Baseline, and exterior refreshes that must clear Chapter 7A all land here. Our Home Remodeling in Highland work covers kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, interior finishes, and the exterior systems those remodels often reveal as necessary.

Home Renovation in Highland
Home renovation in Highland is rarely a surface-level job. The age of the housing stock, the fire-zone requirements, and the hot, dry climate mean a renovation often uncovers work the homeowner did not plan for. Home Renovation from Gold Star Contractors handles the full discovery, replanning, and execution of that work, from structural fixes to finish materials. Our team coordinates every trade so a Highland renovation does not turn into five separate vendor calls.

What Highland Customers Say
"Every inspection passed first time. The building department clearly knows him and that made the whole process easier."
— Gilbert Flores"Ground up build. Permits, foundation, framing, all of it, and he ran the schedule tightly enough that the subs were never tripping over each other. Finished within a month of a fourteen month estimate."
— Daniel Sutton"He caught an error in the engineer's drawings before it got framed, which would have been an expensive thing to discover later."
— Neil Parker
