Remodeling Company in Highland, CA
Home renovation in Highland means working with foothill lots, mid-century and 70s-90s tract homes, and wildfire-defensible construction rules that flatland cities don’t face. Timberline Contractors has served Highland since 2018 as a licensed general contractor handling everything from kitchen and bath remodels to rooflines, siding, hardscaping, and ADUs under one contract. If you’re planning a renovation, an addition, or a full-home update in the 92346 area, call (866) 253-5808 for a free estimate and a straight answer on what your project will take.
Why Highland Homes Are Different
Highland sits where the San Bernardino foothills meet the Inland Empire valley floor, and that geography shows up in almost every job we walk. Homes along the lower streets east of the 210 and around Base Line tend to be mid-century or 70s-90s tract builds with slab foundations and stucco exteriors. As you climb north toward the foothills, lots get steeper, drainage becomes the quiet deciding factor in whether a foundation or retaining wall holds up, and wildfire defensibility stops being a suggestion. Santa Ana wind events push heat and embers through the canyons, so roof replacements and siding choices here carry fire-resistance weight that a flat-lot remodel in Redlands or Loma Linda rarely has to consider. Highland homeowners doing room additions, ADU conversions, or whole-home rehabs are usually working with an existing house that needs structural honesty first: grading, water shedding, and brush-clearance compliance before the finishes go in. That’s the work we actually enjoy.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Highland Services
Highland homeowners call us most often for two things: full-scope general contracting on foothill and valley lots, and complete home remodeling that ties interior updates to the exterior envelope work the climate demands. Here’s what each involves in Highland specifically.
General Contractor in Highland
When a Highland project spans site work, framing, roofing, and interior finish, hiring trade-by-trade means you become the scheduler, the quality inspector, and the person who finds out too late that the roofer’s flashing detail doesn’t match the stucco crew’s timeline. Our General Contractor in Highland work runs under one contract with one accountable party from grading and drainage through final paint. On foothill lots, that matters more than on flat ground, because slope work and fire-resistant material sequencing have to be coordinated from day one, not patched together mid-job.
Home Remodeling in Highland
Highland remodels almost always involve an older home with good bones and outdated systems. You’re not tearing down; you’re reworking what’s there: opening a kitchen, rebuilding a bath, replacing windows that leak heat into a summer that regularly pushes past 100 degrees. Our Home Remodeling in Highland scope covers cabinetry, countertops, tile systems, plumbing fixtures, flooring, and the structural corrections that make the cosmetic work last. Because summers here are hot and dry and winters bring mountain runoff, we sequence heat-sensitive materials and waterproofing details around Highland’s actual seasons.

Home Renovation in Highland
Home renovation in Highland is a different animal than renovation in the flat Inland Empire cities. The housing stock is older, the lots climbing into the foothills demand real drainage and grading work, and wildfire-defensible exterior choices are part of the conversation from the first walkthrough. Timberline Contractors handles renovation as a single accountable scope, from foundation corrections and retaining walls to kitchens, baths, and roof-to-stucco fire-resistant upgrades. You can read more about how we structure the work on our Home Renovation page.
Home Renovation Contractors
Signs you need it
You’ll know it’s time when you’re coordinating three different crews for one project, or when the house needs structural and systems work before any cosmetic upgrade will hold.
What it costs in Highland
Full home renovation in Highland typically runs $14,000 – $45,000 depending on scope, with room additions at $45,000 – $130,000 and ADU construction at $90,000 – $220,000.
How we do it
We start with a site walk and drainage assessment specific to your lot, then pull permits, sequence structural work before finishes, and keep one project lead accountable through final inspection.
Home Renovators
Signs you need it
If the house has good bones but every surface shows its age, and you want one company responsible for the whole refresh, a renovation contractor is the call.
What it costs in Highland
Typical renovation scopes that touch multiple rooms fall in the $14,000 – $45,000 range, while focused single-room updates like a small bath remodel land at $5,000 – $12,000.
How we do it
We establish a material tier with you early using our brand catalog, then run demolition, rough-in, and finish work with the same in-house trade coordination from start to end.
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 |
How long does a home renovation take in Highland?
Most full-home renovations run 8 to 16 weeks depending on scope and permit timing. Foothill lot work involving grading, retaining walls, or foundation correction can add weeks, so we schedule around those unknowns before finishes begin.
Will Highland’s wildfire rules affect my renovation?
Yes, often. If your home sits in a WUI zone, exterior materials like roofing, siding, and decking may need to meet fire-resistant standards, and brush clearance can affect scheduling. We factor that compliance into the estimate from the first visit. Call (866) 253-5808 to talk through your specific lot.

FAQs About Remodeling Company in Highland
Yes. We pull all required Highland and San Bernardino County permits, schedule inspections, and keep the job compliant through final sign-off. Foothill lots sometimes trigger additional grading and drainage review, and we handle that documentation as part of the project.
Usually, yes. We have worked with Highland HOAs on exterior material approvals, color palettes, and construction-hour restrictions. Bring us your HOA package at the estimate stage and we will build the exterior scope around those rules before we start, not after.
Start timing depends on scope and permit queues, but most Highland projects move from signed contract to first day on site within 2 to 4 weeks. Larger foothill jobs involving grading or structural work may take longer to clear permits. Call (866) 253-5808 for a realistic timeline on your specific project.

What Highland Customers Say
"Excellent build. Costs came in about six percent over the original contract, driven mostly by material price movement during the build, which he documented each time."
— Vivian Nguyen"He caught an error in the engineer's drawings before it got framed, which would have been an expensive thing to discover later."
— Tracy Anderson"Framing crew was meticulous and the walls are straight everywhere. Drywall goes on a lot better when the framing is right."
— Luis Mendoza
