AfterConstruction in Redlands, CA
A full kitchen remodel in Redlands typically runs $14,000 to $45,000, and the final number depends heavily on what’s behind the walls of a house built in 1912 versus one built in 1972. We’re Rowan Construction Group, and we work across five trades here: kitchen remodeling, bathroom remodeling, roofing, windows and doors, and home additions including ADUs. Call (470) 298-9650 for a written price before any work starts.
Why Redlands Homes Are Different
Redlands contains one of the largest and best-preserved concentrations of Victorian and Craftsman homes in the Inland Empire, many built between the 1880s and 1920s during the citrus boom. That stock sits along Cajon Street and the Highland Avenue corridor, where original balloon framing, rubble-stone foundations, and lime-based plaster walls are common. Any structural modification on those properties can trigger design review by the city’s Historic Preservation Commission, which often requires matching original fish-scale shingle profiles, window muntins, and true-dimension lumber profiles. Beyond the historic core, 1950s and 1970s ranch tract homes dominate the flatlands, while newer hillside builds must meet Cal Fire Chapter 7A ignition-resistant construction standards. Summer highs above 105°F drive demand for cool-roof assemblies, upgraded insulation, and shade structures. A contractor working in Redlands needs to know which rules apply on which street, because the answer changes block to block.
Our Main Redlands Services
Fence installation and driveway work are the two services Redlands homeowners ask about most often, usually after a citrus-era lot line is surveyed or a paver driveway starts sinking into expansive soil. Here is what each involves locally.
Fence Installation in Redlands
Redlands fence jobs often run along oversized historic lots where original redwood or wrought iron has failed decades past its useful life. We handle wood, vinyl, and aluminum fence installation, with written quotes that include post depth, concrete footing volume, and hardware spec before work begins. On hillside parcels in Cal Fire zones, fencing must meet specific clearance and material standards, which we document in the scope. Details are on the Fence Installation in Redlands page.
Driveway & Pavers in Redlands
Driveway work in Redlands ranges from concrete replacement on postwar ranch homes to paver driveways on historic properties where material choice matters to the Preservation Commission. We quote paver driveway installation from $7,000 to $18,000 and concrete from $4,500 to $12,000, with the substrate condition documented before pricing is finalized. Expansive clay soil in parts of the flatlands means we specify base depth and compaction in writing, not as a handshake understanding. Read more on the Driveway & Pavers in Redlands page.

BeforeAfterKitchen Remodeling in Redlands
A kitchen remodel in Redlands means working inside houses that were framed before plywood existed, where original plaster walls hide balloon framing and load-bearing walls may not be where a modern plan assumes they are. That is why we put the written price in front of you before anyone picks up a tool, with the scope itemized down to the substrate and the permitting path. On a Queen Anne near the University of Redlands, a kitchen wall removal can require structural documentation the city asks for during design review. We know when that applies and when it doesn’t, because we work across the full Kitchen Remodeling spectrum from small galley updates to full gut remodels.

Your kitchen layout no longer functions for how you actually cook, and the existing cabinets, electrical, or plumbing are at the end of their service life.

We document existing conditions, produce a written scope with line-item pricing, submit permits where required, and sequence demolition, rough-in, finish carpentry, and installation against a schedule you see before we start.
Cabinets & Countertops
Signs you need it
Your cabinet boxes are swollen, delaminated, or sized for a 1950s kitchen, and your countertops are cracked, stained, or too low for comfortable use.
What it costs in Redlands
Cabinet installation runs $4,000 to $13,000 and countertop installation $2,000 to $6,500 in Redlands, depending on material and linear footage.
How we do it
We measure, order from vetted brands like KraftMaid and Cambria, verify cabinet square and level on install day, and document the finished work in the photo record you receive.
Backsplash, Tile & Flooring
Signs you need it
Your backsplash is cracked, missing grout, or original to a house that predates modern waterproofing standards behind the tile.
What it costs in Redlands
Backsplash installation in Redlands typically runs $800 to $2,500 including prep, tile, and grout.
How we do it
We remove the old surface, inspect the substrate for damage, install the tile with appropriate adhesive and waterproofing, and grout and seal it the same day where the schedule allows.

Bathroom Remodeling in Redlands
Bathroom remodeling in Redlands often means working around original cast-iron plumbing, tile set in mortar beds, and floor framing that has settled over a century of use. The humidity swings and 105°F summers here make proper ventilation and waterproofing a real variable in the final price, which is why our quotes include membrane and venting specifics in writing. We handle the full Bathroom Remodeling range, from a small hall bath refresh to a walk-in shower conversion.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling

Your existing shower leaks, the tile has failed, or the curb and pan are original to a house that predates modern waterproofing membranes.
What it costs in Redlands
A walk-in shower installation in Redlands typically runs $4,500 to $12,000 including pan, membrane, tile, and fixtures.
How we do it
We remove the old shower to the studs, inspect the subfloor and framing, install a waterproof membrane system, and rebuild with tile and fixtures matched to the rest of the room.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Signs you need it
You have a tub you never use, you want easier access, and the existing tub surround is failing or the plumbing is original.
What it costs in Redlands
A tub-to-shower conversion in Redlands runs $3,500 to $10,000 depending on the condition of the subfloor and whether the drain location changes.
How we do it
We remove the tub, reframe the opening to code, relocate the drain if needed, and install the shower pan, membrane, tile, and fixtures with the waterproofing documented in the photo record.

How much does a small bathroom remodel cost in Redlands?

Roofing in Redlands
Roofing in Redlands means contending with flat or low-slope historic roofs that bake under 105°F summer sun, plus Cal Fire Chapter 7A ignition-resistant standards on the northern and eastern foothills. The cost of a roof replacement here reflects the underlayment, venting, and material choices that make sense for this climate, not a generic national average. We handle the full Roofing scope from small repairs to complete replacements and metal or tile systems.
Roof Repair
Signs you need it
You have a visible leak, lifted shingles, failed flashing around vents or chimneys, or granule loss in your gutters after a Santa Ana wind event.
What it costs in Redlands
Roof repair in Redlands typically runs $400 to $1,800 depending on the damaged area, the material, and whether the decking below is sound.
How we do it
We inspect the roof and attic, photograph the damage, quote the repair in writing, and replace only what has failed, with the new flashing and sealant documented in the photo record.
Roof Replacement & Installation
Signs you need it
Your shingle roof is past its service life, your flat roof has repeated patches, or your hillside property needs a Chapter 7A-compliant assembly.
What it costs in Redlands
A roof replacement in Redlands runs $8,000 to $20,000, with metal roof installation from $15,000 to $40,000 on the high end.

| Roof Replacement | $8,000 - $20,000 |
| Roof Repair | $400 - $1,800 |
| Metal Roof Installation | $15,000 - $40,000 |
Does a Redlands roof in a Cal Fire zone cost more to replace?

How long does a roof replacement take in Redlands?
Most shingle replacements finish in three to six days, but a historic property with design review or a tile roof with long lead times can extend that. We put the schedule in writing. Call (470) 298-9650 to start.
Windows & Doors in Redlands
Windows and doors in Redlands often sit in original wood-sash frames on historic homes, where replacement triggers design review and requires matching muntin profiles and true-dimension trim. The summer heat here makes energy-efficient glazing a real operating-cost decision, and on the foothills, impact-rated products are sometimes required by code. We quote the full Windows & Doors scope, from single-window replacements to full-house retrofit packages.
Window Replacement
Signs you need it
Your windows are original single-pane wood sashes that rattle, leak air, or have failed glazing putty and sticking weights, and your cooling bills climb every summer.
What it costs in Redlands
Window replacement in Redlands runs $4,500 to $15,000 depending on the number of openings, frame material, and glazing spec.
How we do it
We measure each opening, order the specified units, remove the old sashes without damaging the trim where possible, and install the new windows with documented flashing and insulation.
Impact Windows & Doors
Signs you need it
You live on the northern or eastern edge of Redlands where Cal Fire standards or insurance requirements call for impact-rated glazing and door assemblies.
What it costs in Redlands
Impact window installation in Redlands runs $8,000 to $25,000, with door assemblies quoted separately based on opening size and hardware.
How we do it
We verify the product ratings, install per the manufacturer’s tested assembly, and provide the documentation your insurer asks for, included in the walkthrough record.

| Window Replacement (single) | $4,500 - $15,000 |
Do I need a permit to replace windows in a Redlands historic home?
Often yes. The Historic Preservation Commission reviews exterior alterations on locally designated properties, and matching original profiles matters. We handle the application and documentation. Call (470) 298-9650 to check your address.
What does window replacement cost per window in Redlands?
Most homeowners spend between $4,500 and $15,000 for a full window replacement in Redlands, depending on count and frame material. Call (470) 298-9650 for a per-opening breakdown.
Home Additions & ADU in Redlands
Home additions and ADUs in Redlands carry an extra layer of complexity that most Inland Empire cities do not have: a second-story addition on a Queen Anne near the University of Redlands can trigger a full Historic Preservation Commission public hearing, with requirements to match fish-scale shingle profiles and window muntins exactly. On the hillside edges, Chapter 7A ignition-resistant standards apply to any new structure. We handle the full Home Additions & ADU process, from design and permitting through final inspection.
Garage Conversion ADU
Signs you need it
You have a detached garage on an alley lot that is underused, and you want a rental unit or a space for an aging parent without building an entirely new structure.
What it costs in Redlands
A garage conversion ADU in Redlands runs $30,000 to $80,000 depending on the existing slab condition, the distance to utilities, and the finish level.
How we do it
We inspect the garage structure, engineer the conversion for seismic and energy code, run new utilities, and finish the unit to a certificate of occupancy, with the permit record in your file.
New Detached ADU
Signs you need it
Your lot has rear or side yard space for a standalone unit, and you want a fully independent living space or rental income stream.
What it costs in Redlands
A new detached ADU in Redlands runs $90,000 to $220,000 depending on size, site work, and finish selections.
How we do it
We handle site analysis, design, structural engineering, permit submission, and construction, with a written schedule and a flat price before ground breaks.
What Home Additions & ADU Costs in Redlands
| Item | Typical range in Redlands |
|---|---|
| Home Addition | $45,000 - $130,000 |
| ADU Construction | $90,000 - $220,000 |
| Garage Conversion | $30,000 - $80,000 |
How long does ADU permitting take in Redlands?
A standard ADU permit runs four to eight months depending on the site, but a historic overlay or hillside lot can add review time. We submit the package and track it for you. Call (470) 298-9650 to discuss your address.
Can I build an ADU on a Redlands historic property?
Yes, but the design must be reviewed by the Historic Preservation Commission if it is visible from the street or attached to a designated structure. We prepare the required documentation. Call (470) 298-9650 for a site assessment.
Brands We Service in Redlands
We work with factory-built ADU systems from Abodu and Mighty Buildings, which reduce on-site framing time for Redlands hillside lots. Parts are ordered through our vetted supply network, not a big-box counter. See our brands for the full list and lead times.
