Home renovation in Claremont, CA typically runs between $45,000 and $130,000 for a full addition and $14,000 to $45,000 for a kitchen remodel, with most projects taking longer here than in newer cities because of the housing stock. We’re Moreno Valley Builders, a full-scope general contractor serving Claremont since 2017, and we manage every phase from permits to punch list. Call (877) 752-3154 to schedule a free estimate and talk through what your house actually needs.
Why Claremont Homes Are Different
Claremont isn’t like the newer subdivisions east of the 15. The city grew up around the Claremont Colleges, and that shaped everything about its housing. Walk the streets near the Village and you’ll see Craftsman bungalows from the 1910s and 1920s sitting next to period-revival homes with deep porches and original wood windows. Head south of Foothill Boulevard and you hit the 1950s and 1960s ranch tracts. Both eras create very different problems during renovation.
Inside those older Village homes, we routinely find knob-and-tube wiring that needs full replacement before any walls come down. Plaster over wood lath means dust control and careful cutting rather than quick drywall demolition. The framing in a 1920s Craftsman follows a different layout logic than a 1963 ranch, and adding a second story or opening a bearing wall means understanding how the original carpenter framed the load path.
Then there’s the climate. Claremont sits at the base of the San Gabriel foothills, which means intense summer sun, Santa Ana wind events in the fall, and dry-season wildfire exposure. Roofs and exterior work have to account for UV degradation on south-facing elevations and wind uplift on ridge lines. When we specify roofing or siding here, we’re thinking about how the material holds up to 100-degree weeks and 60-mile-per-hour gusts, not just how it looks on paper.
And if your house is in the historic Village area or on a college-adjacent street, expect preservation review. Exterior changes often get scrutinized for period-appropriate detailing. Window replacements, porch modifications, and even paint colors can trigger additional design review. That’s not a roadblock; it just means the contractor needs to submit the right drawings the first time.

Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Claremont Services
Most Claremont homeowners reach out to us for two reasons: they want a single accountable contractor to run a whole remodel, or they need a general contractor to coordinate the trades, materials, and permits on a larger project. Here’s what those look like here.
General Contractor in Claremont
General contracting in Claremont means coordinating everything: demolition, framing, electrical, plumbing, roofing, windows, and finishes. The difference here is the age of the houses. A 1923 Craftsman addition in the Village requires a contractor who understands plaster, old foundation conditions, and the city’s preservation review process. We pull the permits, schedule the inspections, and keep one line of accountability across every trade. For the full picture of how we run Claremont projects, read our General Contractor in Claremont page.
Home Remodeling in Claremont
Remodeling in Claremont usually means working with what’s already there rather than tearing down and starting over. That’s true in the Village, where historic fabric matters, and in the ranch tracts on the south and east sides, where we’re often reconfiguring original 1960s floor plans to open up kitchens and add natural light. The material choices matter more here because the houses are older and the climate is harsher. We specify products that handle Claremont’s sun and wind loads while keeping the character of the home. Details are on our Home Remodeling in Claremont page.

Home Renovation in Claremont
Home renovation in Claremont means working inside homes that were built long before modern building codes, often with wiring, framing, and foundation conditions that stop less experienced crews cold. You’re not just changing finishes; you’re correcting decades of deferred maintenance while trying to preserve what makes a 1920s home worth keeping. We coordinate the trades, specify materials that hold up to Claremont heat and wind, and handle permits through final inspection. If you’re planning a full home renovation, our Home Renovation page covers the larger scope.
