Fast, Reliable General Contractor Across Fontana
If you’re searching for a general contractor in Fontana who can handle a full home remodel, addition, or ADU without you having to coordinate four separate crews, you’ve found the right page. Moreno Valley Builders manages every phase of your project under one roof, from the first permit drawing to the final punch-list walkthrough. We work throughout Fontana’s 92335, 92336, 92337, and 92331 zip codes. Call (877) 752-3154 and tell us what you’re planning. We’ll give you a straight answer on scope and a free estimate.
Why Moreno Valley Builders Is Fontana’s Preferred General Contractor Company
Fontana homeowners call us because we understand the city’s split personality. South of the 10 in 92335, you’re dealing with 1950s and 60s stucco tract homes that have seen decades of unpermitted garage conversions and DIY additions. North of the 210 in 92336 and 92337, you’re in builder-warranty territory with HOA architectural committees that review everything down to the paint color on a patio cover. We navigate both worlds daily. Our crews know which central Fontana streets have older electrical panels that need upgrading before a kitchen remodel can pass inspection. We also know which north-side HOAs require submittal packets with elevation drawings before you can even think about replacing a window.
Noel Trevino leads our team, and he’s built Moreno Valley Builders around a single idea: one accountable contractor from permits to punch list. We don’t hand you off to a rotating cast of subs. When a structural question comes up, you talk to us, not a voicemail. When an HOA asks for a revised drawing, we handle the resubmission. That’s the difference Fontana homeowners feel most.
Styles & brands we work with
Construction Company in Fontana
As a construction company working across Fontana, we handle the full structural scope: room additions, ADU construction, garage conversions, and whole-home renovations. In the newer northern communities, many of these projects require coordination with the builder’s warranty terms and the HOA’s architectural committee. In older south Fontana, we’re often correcting unpermitted work before a project can legally proceed. Home additions in Fontana generally run $45,000 – $130,000 depending on square footage, foundation work, and whether you’re adding plumbing or just living space.
Additions and Structural Work
A room addition in Fontana isn’t just framing and drywall. It means tying into existing stucco, matching rooflines, and making sure the new foundation is engineered for the Inland Empire’s expansive soils. We handle the structural engineering, the permit set, and the inspection schedule.
ADUs and Garage Conversions
Fontana’s ADU rules have changed a lot in the last few years, and we keep current on what the city will and won’t approve. A detached ADU in Fontana typically runs $90,000 – $220,000. A garage conversion lands between $30,000 and $80,000, though older south Fontana garages with unpermitted electrical or plumbing can add scope. We tell you that before you sign anything.
Remodeling Contractor in Fontana
As a remodeling contractor serving Fontana, we spend a lot of time undoing builder-grade choices in newer homes and rehabilitating tired systems in older ones. A full kitchen remodel in Fontana typically runs $14,000 – $45,000. Bathrooms land at $9,000 – $28,000. Roof replacement runs $8,000 – $20,000. Window replacement starts at $4,500 and can reach $15,000 for impact-rated systems. Those are honest Fontana market numbers, not national averages dressed up to look local.
Builder-Grade Kitchen Upgrades
North Fontana kitchens from the last 10 to 15 years came with particleboard cabinet boxes and laminate counters that look fine on day one and show wear by year three. The first upgrades we usually recommend: cabinet replacement with KraftMaid or Wellborn, quartz countertops from Cambria or Caesarstone, and a real tile backsplash with Schluter waterproofing behind it. You don’t need to gut the kitchen. You need to replace what was never built to last.
Bathroom and Shower Work
Builder bathrooms in Fontana often have fiberglass tub surrounds and cheap vanity cabinets. We replace those with full tile showers, proper waterproofing, and fixtures from Kohler, Toto, or American Standard. The difference in how the room feels after a proper walk-in shower install is hard to overstate, and the $4,500 – $12,000 range covers most Fontana bathrooms without moving plumbing lines.
Trusted Brands We Service in Fontana
We specify American Standard and Toto for plumbing fixtures because their valve systems and finishes hold up under the hard water that Fontana’s municipal supply delivers. For tile and waterproofing, we standardize on Schluter systems because we’ve seen too many failed shower pans built with shortcuts. Sterling brings solid value at a lower price point when the budget calls for it. Because we pull from 50+ manufacturer relationships, you’re choosing from real product catalogs, not whatever the supply house had in stock that week. Your project. Your material choices.

AfterCommon General Contractor Problems We See in Fontana Homes
- HOA stop-work orders in north Fontana. Homeowners in 92336 and 92337 communities skip the architectural submittal, start a patio cover or exterior change, and the HOA shuts the job down mid-project. We handle the submittal packet from day one so the work doesn’t stall.
- Builder warranties voided by non-approved contractors. Newer homes in Fontana’s planned developments often require warranty-related repairs to go through approved channels. Using an unapproved contractor for structural work can void coverage. We work within those warranty terms, not around them.
- Unpermitted work surfacing in south Fontana. On older 92335 streets, we routinely find garage conversions and room additions that were never permitted. When square footage doesn’t match county records, the project pauses until the past work is brought to current code. We handle that process, but it adds time and cost to any remodel.
- Stucco and concrete cracking from heat and Santa Ana winds. Fontana’s hot, dry climate expands and dries out exterior stucco and flatwork. We see more re-stucco and concrete repair calls here than in coastal cities, and we spec materials that tolerate the temperature swings.

One thing worth saying clearly. We recently completed a kitchen remodel in the Hunters Ridge area of 92336 where the homeowner wanted to remove a wall to open up the floor plan. Our crew discovered the wall was load-bearing and had to add a beam per the structural engineer’s plans, which passed inspection sign-off without a hitch. We also navigated the HOA’s architectural review to get approval for the new window configuration, ensuring the builder warranty remained intact. That’s the job. Finding the thing you didn’t know was there and handling it cleanly.

FAQs About General Contractor in Fontana
If your Fontana home is in a newer master-planned community, especially north of the 210 in 92336 or 92337, you almost certainly need HOA architectural committee approval for any exterior change and sometimes for interior structural work. The fastest way to check is to pull your CC&Rs and look for the architectural submittal section, or call your management company directly. We review your HOA’s rules before we ever submit a permit set, because most Fontana HOAs have specific drawing and material requirements. If you’re not sure whether your project triggers a review, call us at (877) 752-3154 and we’ll help you figure it out.
Yes, and it’s one of the most common projects we do in north Fontana. The key is knowing which parts of your home fall under the builder’s structural warranty and which are cosmetic. Cabinet replacement, countertop installation, and backsplash work generally don’t affect the structural warranty, but moving walls, altering rooflines, or changing load-bearing framing often requires working with approved contractors or getting the builder’s sign-off. We preserve your warranty by routing the right work through the right channels. Call (877) 752-3154 and we’ll tell you exactly which category your project falls into.
In Fontana’s newer communities, the most common first upgrades are kitchen cabinet replacement, quartz countertop installation, full tile shower conversions, and window replacement. Builders install functional but inexpensive versions of all of these, and homeowners typically replace them within 5 to 10 years. A kitchen cabinet installation in Fontana runs $4,000 – $13,000. Countertops run $2,000 – $6,500. A tub-to-shower conversion runs $3,500 – $10,000. Those are the projects with the best return on daily comfort. Call (877) 752-3154 for a line-item quote on any of them.
Yes. We pull permits for every addition, ADU, garage conversion, and structural remodel in Fontana. The city’s plan check process for ADUs and additions is more detailed than a simple remodel, and we handle the full submittal, respond to plan check comments, and manage the inspection schedule through final sign-off. You never have to chase the building department. If you’re planning an ADU or addition in Fontana, call (877) 752-3154 and we’ll review your property’s specific requirements before you spend a dollar on design.
A home addition in Fontana typically takes several months from design to final inspection, and the total cost runs $45,000 – $130,000 depending on size and scope. Expect the process to start with a feasibility review of your lot, followed by architectural drawings, permit submittal, and then construction. In north Fontana, budget extra time for HOA architectural review if the addition changes your home’s exterior. In older south Fontana, expect potential surprises with unpermitted past work or outdated electrical. Call (877) 752-3154 and we’ll walk you through what your specific addition will involve.
If you’re ready to talk about your Fontana project, call (877) 752-3154. We’ll schedule a free estimate, review your HOA requirements if they apply, and give you a written quote with real material choices. One contractor. Every phase.
