Fast, Reliable Home Remodeling Across Highland
Home remodeling in Highland, CA costs between $45,000 and $130,000 for a full-home project, with kitchens running $14,000 to $45,000 and bathrooms $9,000 to $28,000. We serve the entire 92346 ZIP, from the flat valley neighborhoods near Baseline Street to the foothill parcels climbing toward the San Bernardino National Forest. Highland isn’t a one-size-fits-all building zone, and a remodel here needs a contractor who understands the difference between a mid-century stucco rancher on the valley floor and a hillside home in a fire zone. Call (866) 505-5254 to schedule a free estimate and get line-item pricing before you commit.
Why Daly City Construction Is Highland’s Preferred Home Remodeling Company
Highland homeowners keep calling us back because we handle every phase of a remodel under one license. When you’re re-roofing a 1970s stucco home near the foothills and adding a kitchen island and replacing windows at the same time, juggling three contractors slows everything down. We coordinate it all. Noel Cabrera leads our team with a direct, no-runaround approach: we show up, we scope the work accurately, and we don’t pad the quote because we think you won’t notice.
Our reputation in Highland is built on projects that pass inspection the first time. We know the county inspectors who cover 92346, we know which foothill parcels trigger WUI requirements, and we know which valley-floor homes have expansive clay soil that affects slab and foundation work. That local knowledge means fewer surprises. When a Highland homeowner calls us about a remodel on a hillside lot off Greenspot Road, we already know the questions to ask before we even drive out.

Full Home Remodel in Highland
A Full Home Remodel in Highland means we’re touching multiple systems at once, which most often happens on those 1970s and 1980s tract homes where the kitchen, bathrooms, floors, windows, and roof all hit their serviceable life around the same time. The work typically includes demolition down to the studs in key areas, structural repairs where needed, plumbing and electrical updates, drywall, insulation, flooring, cabinetry, countertops, fixtures, and finish work. A full-home remodel in Highland runs $45,000 to $130,000 depending on square footage, the quality tier you choose for finishes, and whether the parcel falls into the wildland-urban-interface zone, which adds fire-hardening requirements we’ll get into below.
WUI Fire-Hardening Compliance
If your property sits on the northern edge of Highland where the streets climb toward the forest, your remodel legally requires ember-resistant vents, Class A roofing, and defensible-space setbacks. A contractor who’s only worked flatland jobs in Redlands or San Bernardino proper may not flag this until the inspector rejects the work. We include these requirements in the initial scope so you’re not hit with a change order mid-project.
Whole-Home Coordination
When we run a full-home remodel, we sequence the trades so the roof gets replaced before the new drywall goes in, and the windows get flashed and sealed before the siding goes up. One point of contact means you’re not calling a roofer Tuesday and a tile guy Thursday. Noel Cabrera oversees the schedule from start to finish.
Home Remodeling Contractor in Highland
A Home Remodeling Contractor in Highland should be someone who can pull permits, manage inspections, and coordinate subs without you having to chase anyone down. That’s what we do. Whether you’re adding an ADU on a hillside lot, converting a garage into living space, or gutting a primary bathroom, we handle the scope, the materials, and the inspection walk-throughs. You deal with one phone number, one schedule, and one accountable party.
Additions and ADUs
Highland’s housing stock skews toward single-story homes on generous lots, which makes additions and ADU builds practical in a way they aren’t in denser cities. A home addition in Highland runs $45,000 to $130,000, and an ADU construction project ranges from $90,000 to $220,000. We work with prefab ADU partners like Abodu, Dvele, and Plant Prefab so you’re not stuck with a 14-month custom build if you’d rather have a factory-built unit installed in a fraction of that time.
Kitchens, Baths, and Roofing
Highland kitchens from the 1980s and 90s have layouts that don’t match how families cook today. We open up walls, run new plumbing and electrical, install cabinets and countertops, and finish with backsplash and fixtures. Kitchen remodels run $14,000 to $45,000, bathrooms $9,000 to $28,000, and roof replacements $8,000 to $20,000. We carry GAF and CertainTeed roofing lines so you can pick the warranty tier that fits your budget and your fire-zone requirements.
Trusted Brands We Service in Highland
We install and service GAF and CertainTeed roofing systems, Grohe plumbing fixtures, and Sterling bath and kitchen products across Highland. Because we work with a curated portfolio of 50+ manufacturer brands, we can source materials locally and get them to your 92346 job site without the showroom delays that hit when a contractor has to shop around. If a Grohe valve fails in a Highland remodel three years from now, you call us, not a supplier. One contractor, every phase, and every warranty conversation stays in-house.

AfterCommon Home Remodeling Problems We See in Highland Homes
- Foothill WUI parcels treated like valley-floor lots. A remodel on the north side of Highland near the forest edge skips ember-resistant vents and Class A roofing, then fails inspection. The draw schedule stalls and the homeowner is stuck fixing another contractor’s oversight.
- Santa Ana wind loads ignored on hillside additions. Cheap quotes omit structural engineering for wind exposure on exposed foothill lots. When the calcs come back requiring upgraded shear walls, the price jumps thousands.
- Expansive clay soil under valley-floor slabs. Parts of Highland’s flat stretches sit on clay that swells and shrinks with moisture. A remodel that doesn’t account for soil movement can crack new tile and drywall within two years.
- Mid-century homes with outdated electrical and plumbing. Many Highland homes built in the 1960s and 70s still have original panels and galvanized pipes. A remodel that doesn’t address these systems is a cosmetic patch, not a fix.

FAQs About Home Remodeling in Highland
Yes. A remodel on a foothill parcel in Highland’s wildland-urban-interface zone requires fire-hardening compliance documentation that valley-floor homes don’t need: ember-resistant vents, Class A roofing, and defensible-space setbacks all have to be shown at inspection. The permit process itself is the same county process, but the plan review will flag WUI requirements that a flatland project never triggers. Call (866) 505-5254 if you’re not sure which zone your parcel falls into.
Class A is the fire rating required on WUI parcels in Highland, and we recommend Class A on every roof replacement in 92346 regardless of zone, because Santa Ana winds can carry embers across the valley floor too. GAF and CertainTeed both offer Class A shingle systems that also meet wind-uplift requirements for exposed foothill lots. A cheap three-tab shingle won’t pass inspection on the hillside.
Allowances set a dollar figure for materials upfront so when fire-hardening requirements appear, there’s a line item for them instead of a surprise invoice. Change orders then document the exact cost delta in writing before work proceeds. A written scope with fire-hardening allowances keeps a WUI remodel from turning into an open-ended bill. We write these into every Highland contract.
Yes. On a recent hillside remodel near the forest edge, we replaced standard louvered attic vents with ember-resistant units and upgraded to a Class A roof assembly. We walked the county inspector through the WUI compliance photos, and the homeowner used that documentation to keep their insurance premium from spiking after the next renewal. Insurers in fire-prone ZIP codes look for proof of hardening, and a compliant remodel gives them exactly that.
A compliant quote includes ember-resistant vent replacements, Class A roofing material, fire-rated decking or siding if it’s in the scope, wind-load engineering for hillside additions, and written allowances for WUI materials. A cheap bid leaves those off because they add cost and the contractor is betting you won’t know the difference until the inspector does. Call (866) 505-5254 for a line-item quote that shows every fire-hardening requirement upfront.
