Remodeling Company in Claremont, CA
Home renovation in Claremont means working with 1900s Craftsman bungalows, Spanish Colonial Revival homes near the Village, and mid-century ranches that all share one thing: they were built for a different era. Daly City Construction has served Claremont since 2013, and the work here consistently comes back to preserving period character while upgrading aging framing, foundations, electrical, and plumbing to current code. Call (866) 505-5254 for a free estimate on your Claremont renovation.
Why Claremont Homes Are Different
Claremont is defined by The Claremont Colleges and a historic, tree-lined Village core with strict historic-preservation and design review. Construction here is as much about shepherding projects through the city’s architectural review and preserving period character as it is about building. That level of design scrutiny and neighborhood pushback is not something you hit in neighboring Pomona or Upland.
The housing stock tells the story. Near the Village and college campuses, you’ll find 1900s-1930s Craftsman and Spanish Colonial Revival bungalows with original wood windows, lathe-and-plaster walls, and foundations that predate modern seismic standards. On the north and south edges of Claremont, mid-century ranch homes and 1960s-70s tracts present a different set of issues: single-pane aluminum windows, undersized electrical panels, and plumbing that has reached the end of its service life. Much of the work we take on in the 91711 ZIP code is additions, ADUs, and whole-home remodels of these aging wood-frame structures.
The climate adds another layer. Hot, dry Santa Ana wind seasons stress exterior finishes, wood siding, and roofing. The region’s expansive clay soils shift with moisture changes, and occasional seismic activity makes foundation and drainage detailing a recurring concern on older Claremont homes. A remodel here is not a cosmetic exercise. It is a structural and code-compliance project wrapped in historic character.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Claremont Services
Claremont homeowners call us most often about two things: full general contracting for multi-trade projects, and complete home remodeling scopes that touch multiple rooms at once. Here is what each involves in Claremont specifically.
General Contractor in Claremont
Acting as your general contractor in Claremont means one licensed team coordinating every trade: framing, electrical, plumbing, roofing, windows, finishes. That single point of contact matters more here than in most cities, because Claremont’s architectural review process rewards a contractor who can present a coherent plan rather than a stack of disconnected subcontractor bids. If your project involves a visible addition or exterior change near the Village, the design review will ask for period-accurate detailing. We handle that from day one. General Contractor in Claremont
Home Remodeling in Claremont
Home remodeling in Claremont often begins with a simple goal (more kitchen space, a primary suite) and uncovers what 80 to 120 years of settling, Santa Ana heat, and clay soil have done behind the walls. We scope each remodel to the actual condition of the home: foundation anchors where needed, updated electrical panels, proper drainage at the perimeter, and finishes that respect the home’s era without freezing it in time.

Home Renovation in Claremont
Home renovation in Claremont is a different animal from renovation in a newer tract city. The homes near the Village and college campuses were built between 1900 and 1940, which means knob-and-tube wiring, cast-iron drain lines, and foundations that have moved with decades of expansive clay soil. The Santa Ana winds and summer heat have baked exterior siding and roofing, and the city’s architectural review means any visible change must respect the original period detailing. Home Renovation is end-to-end work: we handle the structural corrections, the code upgrades, the historic-preservation paperwork, and the finished surfaces under one license and one point of contact.
Home Renovation Contractors
Signs you need it
You need home renovation contractors when your Claremont home has multiple failing systems at once: a kitchen that needs gutting, a bathroom with water damage, a roof at end of life, and wiring that cannot support modern appliances.
What it costs in Claremont
Whole-home renovation scopes in Claremont typically run from $45,000 to $130,000 depending on the number of rooms, structural corrections, and the material tier you choose.
How we do it
We start with a full condition assessment, produce a line-item scope with permit requirements mapped to Claremont’s review process, then sequence demolition, structural work, rough trades, finishes, and final inspection under one project manager.
Renovation Contractors
Signs you need it
You need renovation contractors when the work spans multiple trades (framing, plumbing, electrical, tile, cabinetry) and coordinating separate specialists is creating delays, finger-pointing, and budget drift.
What it costs in Claremont
Renovation projects in Claremont range from $9,000 for small scopes like a tub-to-shower conversion to $130,000 for large additions or whole-home refreshes.
How we do it
We submit one set of plans, pull all required permits, and run every trade from our own scheduling system so inspections happen in the right order and the project stays on sequence.
What Home Renovation Costs in Claremont
| Item | Typical range in Claremont |
|---|---|
| Home Addition | $45,000 – $130,000 |
| Kitchen Remodel | $14,000 – $45,000 |
| Bathroom Remodel | $9,000 – $28,000 |
These ranges reflect the structural realities of older Claremont homes: foundation shimming, knob-and-tube removal, drain-line replacement, and clay-soil drainage corrections are common line items that newer neighborhoods do not face. We quote upfront with no change orders unless you change the scope.
How long does a home renovation take in Claremont?
A whole-home renovation in Claremont typically takes 12 to 20 weeks. The city’s architectural review process can add two to six weeks if your project involves visible exterior changes in a historic district. We build that timeline into the schedule from the start.
Do you handle Claremont’s architectural review process?
Yes. We prepare the period-accurate drawings, material samples, and design-review submittals Claremont requires for visible work in historic districts. We have shepherded projects through the city’s review process since 2013 and know what the reviewers flag. Call (866) 505-5254 for a free estimate.

What Claremont Customers Say
"Allowances in the contract were realistic rather than artificially low to make the bid look good."
— Megan Brooks"Framing crew was meticulous and the walls are straight everywhere. Drywall goes on a lot better when the framing is right."
— Dale Sutton"He was upfront about a soil issue that added cost early rather than absorbing it and surprising us at the end."
— Ramon Salazar
