Remodeling Company in Pomona, CA
Home renovation in Pomona usually means working on a house built between 1920 and 1965, and that changes the entire job. Pre-1960 bungalows, Craftsman cottages, and Spanish-revival homes bring knob-and-tube wiring, pier-and-beam foundations, and galvanized plumbing that rarely survive a modern remodel untouched. Add Pomona’s hot Inland Empire sun and Santa Ana winds, and you’re looking at exterior systems that age faster than they do ten miles west. Gold Star Contractors has served Pomona since 2012 as a single-source general contractor, so you don’t juggle five trades on an older home. Call (833) 382-8544 to talk through your scope.
Why Pomona Homes Are Different
Pomona’s core, across 91766 and into the blocks around downtown and the fairgrounds, is dense with pre-1960 construction. These aren’t tract homes with predictable framing. You’ll find shallow slab or pier-and-beam foundations, original two-wire electrical, and early copper or galvanized supply lines. When you add on or convert a garage, the load path rarely follows a clean template, and the utility tie-ins almost always need full replacement before inspection will pass. Permitting in Pomona reflects that: the city treats most work on these older parcels as a retrofit against an aging structure, not a fresh build.
The climate compounds it. Intense summer sun beats on south- and west-facing stucco and roofing, and Santa Ana wind events tear at tile, shake, and flashing. Wood framing and slabs move through big seasonal thermal swings, which is why we see failed stucco, shifted rooflines, and cracked driveways in the older neighborhoods around Phillips Ranch and Westmont. Detached garages and citrus-era rear alleys are common in Pomona’s older blocks, and that’s exactly why garage-to-ADU conversions and rear-lot additions are such a steady local job. The framing and electrical behind those old garages rarely meets modern code without serious upgrade work.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Pomona Services
Two scopes dominate the calls we get from Pomona homeowners: full general contracting on pre-1960 homes, and whole-home or room-specific remodeling where the existing structure dictates the plan. Here’s how each one works in Pomona.
General Contractor in Pomona
A general contractor in Pomona is the difference between coordinating four separate trades and handing one accountable team the entire project. On Pomona’s older bungalows and Spanish-revival homes, that coordination matters more than it does on newer subdivisions: the electrician’s panel upgrade, the plumber’s repipe, and the framer’s load-path correction all have to happen in sequence, not in parallel. We manage that sequence under one GC license, from permit drawings through final inspection. General Contractor in Pomona services cover additions, structural corrections, and whole-home renovations on the housing stock that makes Pomona different.
Home Remodeling in Pomona
Home remodeling in Pomona usually starts with a kitchen or bathroom inside a house that’s outlived its original systems. You’re not just replacing cabinets and tile; you’re uncovering wiring that needs to go, plumbing that’s rusting from the inside, and framing that’s settled unevenly over seventy years. We scope the remodel around what the house actually needs, not what a cabinet brochure shows. Home Remodeling in Pomona work covers kitchens, bathrooms, and interior renovations where brand selection and sequencing matter as much as the demolition itself.

Home Renovation in Pomona
Home renovation in Pomona means bringing a 1920s-to-1960s house up to how you actually live today, and doing it without pretending the original construction doesn’t exist. Citrus-era bungalows and Spanish-revival cottages hide wiring, plumbing, and framing that no modern inspector will pass without correction, and Pomona’s heat and wind load mean every exterior touchpoint has to be weatherproofed properly. That’s the specific problem this service solves: full-scope renovation that accounts for the aging structure underneath. Gold Star Contractors handles Home Renovation as a single point of accountability, so when the electrician finds knob-and-tube behind the lath, you’re not the one scrambling to coordinate the fix.
Home Renovation Contractors
Signs you need it
Your Pomona home needs renovation contractors when you’re facing multiple systems that have outlived their useful life, from original two-wire electrical to settled pier-and-beam foundations that throw doors out of square.
What it costs in Pomona
A full home renovation in Pomona typically runs $45,000 to $130,000 depending on square footage, system replacement scope, and how much of the original framing and utility work has to be corrected before finishes go in.
How we do it
We start with a structural and systems assessment of the existing house, produce a scope and line-item estimate, submit permit drawings to the City of Pomona, then manage demolition, rough-in trades, and finishes through one accountable project team.
Home Improvement Contractors
Signs you need it
Call home improvement contractors when your Pomona house has deferred maintenance that’s about to become structural, like cracked stucco on west-facing walls, failing roof flashing, or a detached garage with rotted framing.
What it costs in Pomona
Home improvement scopes in Pomona vary widely, but the most common projects we price fall between $14,000 and $45,000 for a kitchen remodel, and $9,000 to $28,000 for a bathroom remodel.
How we do it
We scope each improvement against the house’s actual condition, specify materials from our brand portfolio, and run the job with one team so the plumber, electrician, and finish carpenter work from the same plan.

How long does a home renovation take in Pomona?
Most full renovations in Pomona run 10 to 16 weeks. Older homes add time for electrical and plumbing corrections, plus the city’s plan review cycle on pre-1960 structures. Call (833) 382-8544 for a schedule tied to your actual scope.
Will the price change once work starts on my Pomona home?
Our estimates account for what we can see, but opening walls on a 1940s Pomona house sometimes reveals conditions no one could have priced. We document any change order in writing before proceeding. Call (833) 382-8544 for a free estimate.

What Pomona Customers Say
"Quoted me over the phone, charged me that, left. Perfect."
— Laura Ziegler"The foundation survey came back dead on. Everything downstream of that being square is the reason the rest of the build went smoothly."
— Megan Gallagher"Allowances in the contract were realistic rather than artificially low to make the bid look good."
