Remodeling Company in Palm Springs, CA
Home renovation in Palm Springs means working with houses that were built between the 1940s and 1970s, most of them mid-century modern with flat or low-slope roofs, concrete block walls, and large expanses of glass. These homes need a contractor who understands that every exterior change can trigger historic preservation review, and that the desert climate punishes roofing and sealant failures faster than homeowners expect. Gold Star Contractors has served Palm Springs since 2012, coordinating full-scope renovations from the roofline to the countertop through a single accountable team. Call (833) 382-8544 to talk through your project.
Why Palm Springs Homes Are Different
Palm Springs construction is defined by mid-century modern architecture and the city’s strict historic preservation ordinance. Even homes that are not individually designated can require design review for exterior modifications, which means documentation, compatibility studies, and patience are just part of the job. We routinely help homeowners in Deepwell and Twin Palms prepare submittals that show how a new roof or window package respects the original post-and-beam design. Flat-roofed mid-century homes in these neighborhoods often hide decades of patched roof leaks and marginal structural connections that only reveal themselves during drought-to-monsoon moisture swings.
The desert climate accelerates wear on everything. Summer highs routinely pass 110°F, and the intense UV exposure means elastomeric roof coatings, window seals, and exterior paints fail years earlier than they would in coastal California. Exterior work has to be scheduled around the heat, which is why we front-load demolition and roofing in the cooler morning hours and move finish work indoors during peak summer afternoons. Homes in the 92262, 92263, 92264, and 92292 ZIP codes also tend to have concrete block construction that requires different anchoring and flashing details than wood-framed houses. None of this is standard tract-home work, and it should not be treated that way.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Palm Springs Services
Homeowners in Palm Springs most often call us for two things: a general contractor who can manage a whole-home renovation, and a remodeling team that understands mid-century architecture well enough to update it without erasing it. Both services run through the same project team, the same brand portfolio, and the same accountability.
General Contractor in Palm Springs
As a General Contractor in Palm Springs, we handle the full scope: structural work, seismic retrofits, roofing, windows, interior finishes, and the permit paperwork that goes with it. Palm Springs adds a layer most cities do not, because the historic preservation ordinance can require design review even when the home is not a designated landmark. We prepare the drawings, the material specifications, and the submittal narrative so the review process does not stall your project. One contractor, every system, no handoff gaps. That matters more here than almost anywhere else in the Coachella Valley.
Home Remodeling in Palm Springs
Home Remodeling in Palm Springs usually means working inside a mid-century envelope: updating a kitchen or bath while keeping the clerestory windows, the concrete block, and the clean roof lines intact. We specify the brand, manage the install, and stand behind the result, whether that means a Schluter waterproofing system under a walk-in shower or a Caesarstone countertop on original slab cabinetry. The goal is never to make a 1962 home look like it was built in 2024. The goal is to make it feel like the best version of itself.

Home Renovation in Palm Springs
Home renovation in Palm Springs is less about tearing things out and more about correcting what four decades of desert sun and monsoon cycles have done to the shell, then updating the interior without losing the architecture. Most of the homes we renovate were built between 1948 and 1972, with flat roofs, concrete block, and single-pane glass that cannot keep up with modern cooling loads. A full home renovation here typically begins with the roof and windows, because every interior finish depends on the envelope being dry and sealed. Through our Home Renovation team, Gold Star Contractors manages the entire sequence: demolition, structural repair, mechanical and electrical updates, insulation, drywall, finishes, and fixtures, with one project lead accountable for the whole thing.
Home Renovation Contractors
Signs you need it
You are seeing multiple systems fail at once: roof leaks after monsoon rains, sticking windows, cracked ceiling seams, and a floor plan that no longer works for how you live.
What it costs in Palm Springs
Full home renovation in Palm Springs typically runs $45,000 to $130,000 depending on structural scope, roof condition, and the level of interior finish you choose.
How we do it
We start with an envelope assessment (roof, windows, and sealant), then sequence interior work so mechanical and structural updates happen before finishes go in, preventing rework.
Home Renovation Companies
Signs you need it
You have been patching the same roof leak, the same cracked stucco, and the same tired bath for years, and the repairs are stacking up faster than they solve anything.
What it costs in Palm Springs
Expect home renovation companies in Palm Springs to quote between $45,000 and $130,000 for a whole-home scope, with smaller phased renovations starting around $14,000.
How we do it
We bring the entire project under one contract, one schedule, and one accountable lead, so the roofer, the electrician, and the tile setter are never working against each other.
Home Improvement Contractors
Signs you need it
Your mid-century home still has its original single-pane windows, original flat roof, and original electrical panel, and your summer cooling bills are climbing every year.
What it costs in Palm Springs
Home improvement projects in Palm Springs vary widely, but a kitchen remodel runs $14,000 to $45,000, a bathroom remodel $9,000 to $28,000, and a roof replacement $8,000 to $20,000.
How we do it
We stage improvements by system rather than by room, which means the roof and windows go first, the mechanical and electrical follow, and the cosmetic finishes land last.
Renovation Contractors
Signs you need it
The plaster is cracked along the block walls, the bathroom tile is failing from moisture, and the kitchen layout cuts you off from the view your house was designed around.
What it costs in Palm Springs
Renovation contractors in Palm Springs typically price a full home renovation from $45,000 to $130,000, with smaller scopes like a tub-to-shower conversion starting at $3,500.
How we do it
We document existing conditions thoroughly before demolition, because in mid-century construction the wall you open always tells a different story than the one in the original plans.

How long does a home renovation take in Palm Springs?
A whole-home renovation in Palm Springs typically takes four to eight months, with design review and permit processing adding anywhere from three weeks to three months before work starts.

Brands We Service in Palm Springs
We specify and install premium plumbing and tile systems from Toto, American Standard, and Schluter, plus surfacing and fixture lines that meet the standards those manufacturers require.

FAQs About Remodeling Company in Palm Springs
Yes. We prepare the architectural drawings, material specifications, and written narrative the city’s preservation office asks for, and we manage the submittal and revision process. Call (833) 382-8544 and we can tell you whether your scope is likely to trigger design review before you commit.
We work year-round. Exterior demolition, roofing, and concrete placement get scheduled for early morning, and finish work moves indoors during the hottest afternoons. The schedule is built around the heat, but it does not stop the project.
That depends more on the city’s review timeline than on our availability. Small interior remodels can often start within a few weeks; exterior work in historic districts can take months in review. Call (833) 382-8544 for a realistic start date on your specific scope.
