Remodeling Company in Redlands, CA
Home renovation in Redlands means working on homes built anywhere from the 1890s to the 1970s, often under the city’s historic-preservation overlay. That changes everything about how a project gets scoped, priced, and permitted. Workshop Contractors has served Redlands since 2011, and we’ve learned that the first step on any older Redlands property is understanding what’s behind the walls before touching them. Call (844) 384-3361 to talk through your project.
Why Redlands Homes Are Different
Redlands is a historic citrus-belt city, and the construction trade here is defined by century-old orange-grove infrastructure meeting strict historic preservation. Much of the older core, especially the 92373 ZIP, sits under the city’s Historic and Historic-Transitional zoning overlay, which can flag even minor facade changes for review. Many older lots still carry remnant citrus irrigation standpipes and valve boxes, and mature grove trees often dictate where site work and demolition can happen. If your home is downtown-adjacent, our first move is usually to pull the Sanborn map and check the overlay before touching a wall.
The housing stock spans 1890s – 1930s Victorians, Craftsmans, and Spanish Colonial Revivals near downtown, plus mid-century and 1960s – 70s tract homes in the east and north. Those older homes frequently have knob-and-tube or early cloth wiring, galvanized plumbing, pier-and-beam foundations, and original wood windows and siding. Redlands also sits near the San Andreas and Crafton Hills fault zones and the foothills wildland-urban interface, so we design for seismic bracing on cripple walls and older masonry, high summer heat gain on roofing and insulation, and defensible-space detailing on hillside lots.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Redlands Services
Redlands homeowners call us most often for two things: full general contracting across multi-system renovations, and complete home remodeling that balances historic character with modern code.
General Contractor in Redlands
Redlands remodel projects rarely stay inside one trade. A kitchen renovation on a 1920s Craftsman in the historic district often pulls in electrical, plumbing, foundation, and sometimes structural work the moment walls open. We manage all of it under one contract, one schedule, and one team, so you’re not coordinating a revolving door of subcontractors. From the roof down to the pavers, we handle it. Learn more about our General Contractor in Redlands services.
Home Remodeling in Redlands
Remodeling a Redlands home means working with what’s already there: original wood windows worth restoring, plaster walls, uneven pier-and-beam floors, and decades of previous renovations layered on top. We scope every project by looking at how the systems interact, not just the finish surfaces. Whether you’re updating a Spanish Colonial Revival kitchen or reworking a 1970s tract home bathroom in the 92374 ZIP, the material decisions stay in-house. See our Home Remodeling in Redlands page for the full picture.

Home Renovation in Redlands
Home renovation in Redlands often means opening walls in a home built before modern building codes existed, which is where our Home Renovation expertise matters most. The city’s older housing stock carries knob-and-tube wiring, galvanized supply lines, and foundation systems that were never designed for today’s seismic standards. Add in the Historic-Transitional overlay on downtown-adjacent properties, and a renovation here is as much about navigating what you can’t see as what you can. We scope every Redlands renovation with those hidden systems in mind, so the bid you get is the job you get.
Home Renovation Contractors
Signs you need it
Floors slope noticeably in an older Redlands home, outlets are ungrounded two-prong, or you find galvanized pipes with visible rust at the fittings.
What it costs in Redlands
A full home renovation in Redlands typically falls between $45,000 and $130,000 depending on the home’s age, foundation condition, and whether it sits in the historic overlay.
How we do it
We start with a systems audit of the foundation, electrical, plumbing, and framing, then build a scope that sequences structural work before finishes so nothing gets covered up twice.
Home Renovators
Signs you need it
Your Redlands home has original 1920s wiring still in service, a pier-and-beam foundation that’s never been seismically braced, or water pressure that drops whenever a second fixture runs.
What it costs in Redlands
Home addition work in Redlands runs $45,000 to $130,000, and renovation-heavy remodels that open multiple rooms land in the same range once structural and system upgrades are included.
How we do it
We pull permits, brace the cripple walls and foundation where the seismic zone requires it, bring electrical and plumbing up to current code, then rebuild finishes with materials we source directly.
What Home Renovation Costs in Redlands
| Item | Typical range in Redlands |
|---|---|
| Home Addition | $45,000 – $130,000 |
| Kitchen Remodel | $14,000 – $45,000 |
| Bathroom Remodel | $9,000 – $28,000 |
Will I need historic review for my Redlands renovation?
If your property sits in the Historic or Historic-Transitional overlay, most of the older core around downtown does, yes. Even minor facade changes can trigger review, so we pull the Sanborn map and confirm the overlay before scoping any exterior work. Call (844) 384-3361 and we’ll check your address early.
How long does a full home renovation take in Redlands?
Most full renovations run several months, and Redlands’ historic overlay can add review time if your home is in a designated district. We sequence work so structural and system upgrades happen first, keeping the schedule moving while permits clear. Call (844) 384-3361 for a realistic timeline on your specific home.

What pushes pricing up in Redlands is usually the age of the home: knob-and-tube rewires, galvanized repiping, seismic bracing on old cripple walls, and historic-review compliance on downtown properties all add scope you won’t see on a newer tract home in the 92374 ZIP. We quote line-item pricing up front so you can see exactly where your money goes before you sign, no change orders hiding in the fine print.

FAQs About Remodeling Company in Redlands
Yes. Every structural, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical permit is pulled by us before work starts. Redlands has its own review process, and the historic overlay adds a layer for downtown homes, so we handle the paperwork and inspections as part of the contract. You won’t be asked to owner-builder anything.
That depends on the scope and whether historic review applies to your property. We schedule a site visit, confirm the permit path, and give you a start window in writing. Call (844) 384-3361 and we’ll get your project on the board.
All the time. Knob-and-tube and early cloth wiring are common in Redlands homes built before the 1940s, and we scope rewires as part of any renovation that opens walls. We also check for galvanized plumbing and unbraced cripple walls while we’re in there, so the home is safer when we close it up.

What Redlands Customers Say
"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."
— Alejandro Mendoza"Sent photos of everything before and after, which I needed for our HOA. Didn't have to ask twice."
— Alma Ramirez"Framing crew was meticulous and the walls are straight everywhere. Drywall goes on a lot better when the framing is right."
— Holly Quinn
