Remodeling Company in Highland, CA
Highland sits at the foot of the San Bernardino Mountains, and that location shapes nearly every renovation we take on here. Home Renovation in Highland means working on 1970s and 80s stucco tract homes while also navigating wildland-urban interface building codes that flatland cities never see. Workshop Contractors has served Highland since 2011, and we’ve learned that foothill construction requires a different approach than what works in Redlands or Loma Linda. If you’re planning a remodel, addition, or full home renovation here, call (844) 384-3361 and we’ll walk you through what your specific street and slope actually require.
Why Highland Homes Are Different
Highland’s housing stock is a patchwork of mid-century ranch homes, 1970s-80s tract subdivisions off the 210 corridor, and newer infill scattered along the base of the San Bernardino Mountains. That means a kitchen remodel off Base Line might open up framing built under very different codes than a bathroom renovation up toward East Highlands Ranch. The climate adds another layer. Hot inland summers, Santa Ana wind events, and close proximity to the San Bernardino National Forest mean exterior materials take real punishment from UV and wind-driven embers. We regularly see siding that looks fine from the street but has dry rot where embers settled during wind events. Homes along the foothill edges toward the national forest boundary sit in very-high fire severity zones, so added square footage, new decks, and even re-roofs often trigger Chapter 7A WUI material requirements. A flatland contractor who doesn’t work in Highland daily will miss those triggers, and the permit office will catch it. That’s the hidden complexity most homeowners don’t realize until their project stalls.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Highland Services
Two services make up the majority of our Highland workload: full general contracting engagements and whole-home remodeling projects. Both require the same core discipline here: understanding how Highland’s fire-severity zones, aging housing stock, and foothill terrain interact before a single permit is pulled.
General Contractor in Highland
When a Highland project touches multiple systems, someone has to own the intersections. A room addition on a hillside lot might require structural work, WUI-compliant siding, roof tie-ins, and drainage changes that all affect each other. That’s what general contracting means in practice here. We manage the full scope under one contract so homeowners aren’t chasing three different crews through the Highland permit office. If your project spans more than one trade, start with General Contractor in Highland.
Home Remodeling in Highland
Highland kitchen and bath remodels hit a specific pattern: 1980s tract homes with original layouts, solid bones, but outdated mechanicals and materials that were never designed for today’s heat and fire-resistance standards. We see galley kitchens with single-pane windows facing the mountains, bathrooms with failing ventilation that breeds mold in summer heat. A full home remodel here means correcting those issues rather than covering them up. For kitchens, baths, and whole-home work, see Home Remodeling in Highland.

Home Renovation in Highland
Home Renovation in Highland splits into two realities depending on where your house sits. In the tract neighborhoods east of the 210, it’s usually about modernizing aging systems: replacing original windows, reconfiguring kitchens, and updating bathrooms that have been patched for four decades. Near the foothill edges, renovation often means rebuilding to meet current WUI codes, adding fire-hardened siding, ember-resistant venting, and defensible-space elements that weren’t required when the home was built. Because Workshop Contractors handles the full renovation scope, from Home Renovation planning to final inspection, material choices stay coordinated across every trade instead of being picked by whoever shows up that week.
Home Renovation Contractors
Signs you need it
You’re patching the same problem repeatedly, your home’s layout no longer fits how you live, or exterior materials show heat and wind damage that keeps coming back.
What it costs in Highland
Full home renovation in Highland typically ranges from $45,000 to $130,000 depending on square footage, number of systems touched, and whether WUI upgrades are required.
How we do it
We assess the structure as one integrated system, identify which trade work is actually needed, specify materials that work together, pull permits, and manage every crew through inspection.
Home Renovation Companies
Signs you need it
You’ve gotten quotes from three companies and none of them agree on scope, or you’ve discovered your project needs roofing, windows, and interior work handled together.
What it costs in Highland
The same Highland renovation scoped as an addition runs $45,000 to $130,000, while kitchen-specific work runs $14,000 to $45,000 when done as part of a larger project.
How we do it
One contract covers every trade: one schedule, one point of accountability, and material selections made with our project lead rather than a subcontractor you’ve never met.
What Home Renovation Costs in Highland
| Item | Typical range in Highland |
|---|---|
| Kitchen Remodel | $14,000 – $45,000 |
| Bathroom Remodel | $9,000 – $28,000 |
| Home Addition | $45,000 – $130,000 |
| Window Replacement | $4,500 – $15,000 |
How long does a full home renovation take in Highland?
Most full renovations in Highland run three to six months depending on scope and permit review times. WUI-triggered plan checks can add weeks, so we submit early and sequence work around the review timeline. Call (844) 384-3361 for a real schedule estimate.
Do Highland renovations require special permits because of fire zone rules?
Yes, often. Homes in very-high fire severity zones trigger Chapter 7A reviews for exterior materials, venting, and added square footage. We handle that paperwork as part of the renovation scope rather than treating it as a surprise.
Brands We Service in Highland
Highland homeowners choose from brands like GAF and CertainTeed for roofing, Grohe for fixtures, and Sterling for bath systems. Parts availability matters here since foothill heat and wind mean exterior products need to be ordered correctly the first time. See our brands for the full list.

Highland prices push toward the upper end when WUI requirements force upgraded exterior materials or when steep lot access slows deliveries and equipment. We quote fixed prices in writing after the site walk, so the number you approve is the number you pay.

FAQs About Remodeling Company in Highland
Most Highland homeowners see an estimator within a few business days of calling (844) 384-3361. Permitting timelines vary by scope, especially in WUI zones, but we submit plans as soon as materials and scope are locked, so review time doesn’t stack on top of our scheduling delays.
Yes, that’s a core part of our Highland work. We identify whether your property sits in a very-high fire severity zone early in the process, then specify materials and assemblies that pass plan review the first time. It’s the main reason foothill renovations need a contractor who knows Highland specifically.
Yes. We manage multi-scope projects under one contract, so a main-house renovation and an ADU addition run through one schedule, one permit package, and one point of contact. That coordination matters especially on Highland lots with slope and set-back constraints.
