Fast, Reliable General Contractor Across Pomona
Most Pomona homes were built between 1920 and 1970, and that age shows up fast when walls come down. If you’re planning a kitchen remodel, room addition, or roof replacement in 91767, 91768, 91769, or 91797, you need a contractor who knows what those older frames, stucco skins, and ad-hoc additions actually hold. Square Deal Contractors has spent years working Pomona’s bungalows, Spanish-revivals, and postwar tract homes. We show up on schedule, we scope honestly, and we stand behind the work. Call (866) 623-7205 to talk through your project and get a free estimate.

Why Square Deal Contractors Is Pomona’s Preferred General Contractor Company
Pomona homeowners keep calling us because we manage the entire remodel under one contract. No juggling three specialists, no finger-pointing between the tile crew and the electrician. Nolan Breckett built Square Deal Contractors around a simple operating rule: the person who writes the estimate is the same person who answers when you call mid-project. That accountability matters on Phillips Ranch hillsides and in the flat-grid streets around Lincoln Park, where we have handled everything from full bath gut-renos to whole-home additions.
Our crews know Pomona’s building department. We know which pre-1970s framing details typically pass inspection and which ones trigger a correction notice. We also know the code-enforcement climate on older blocks: converted garages and back-room additions that never got permitted are common, and they have to be dealt with before a new permit will close. That local knowledge keeps your project moving instead of stalling at the counter.
We do not bid blind. Our General Contractor process starts with a thorough walkthrough of the existing conditions, not just a quick lap with a clipboard. When we quote a Pomona job, the estimate reflects what we saw in the crawlspace, at the panel, and behind the stucco. That is the difference between a number that holds and a number that grows.
Styles & brands we work with







Remodeling Contractor in Pomona
Remodeling Contractor work in Pomona almost always means opening up a home that was built before modern building codes existed, then bringing what we find up to standard. A kitchen remodel on a 1950s tract home off Holt Avenue, for example, typically involves removing old plaster, rerouting electrical that is no longer safe, and reframing around windows that were never properly flashed. The job is not just cabinets and counters. It is making the room safe, insulated, and code-compliant before the finishes go in. Kitchens in Pomona run $14,000 to $45,000 depending on footprint, electrical condition, and material tier. A smaller galley kitchen can land between $9,000 and $20,000.
Inspection Before Estimate
We open walls on our own time, not yours, during the scoping phase where possible. When we cannot, we write allowances into the contract for the specific unknowns: electrical rough-in, framing, waterproofing. That way a surprise does not become a billing shock. A bathroom remodel in Pomona usually runs $9,000 to $28,000, with smaller full baths clustering around $5,000 to $12,000.
Change Orders Approved in Writing
When we find cloth-wrapped wiring or undersized studs, you get a written change order with the exact scope and dollar figure before any work proceeds. No verbal handshakes, no “we will figure it out later.” Pomona homeowners who have been burned by vague allowances appreciate that clarity. It is the Square Deal name operating as more than a name.
Licensed General Contractor in Pomona
Licensed General Contractor means one responsible party for the structural, mechanical, and finish work. In Pomona, where so many lots carry an old house that has seen seventy or eighty years of piecemeal work, that single point of accountability is not a luxury. It is the only way to keep an addition legal, an ADU buildable, and a garage conversion from becoming a code-enforcement headache. Home additions in Pomona run from $45,000 for a modest bump-out to $130,000 for a sizable second-story or ground-floor expansion.
Permitting and Legalization
Pomona’s building department requires plans and inspections for structural work, and they will flag any prior unpermitted work adjacent to the new scope. We handle the permit application, the plan review, and the inspections. If a garage was converted to living space decades ago without permits, we work with the city to legalize it or correct it so your current project can pass.
One Contractor for Every Phase
From demolition to drywall to the final punch list, you have one phone number. Roofing, windows, framing, electrical, plumbing, tile, cabinetry, hardscaping: all under one contract. Garage conversions in Pomona typically range from $30,000 to $80,000, and that number reflects what it actually takes to turn an old detached garage into a legal, insulated, properly wired living space.
Trusted Brands We Service in Pomona
We install and service roofing systems from GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed, and we keep relationships with more than 50 vetted manufacturers across cabinetry, countertops, plumbing fixtures, windows, and hardscaping. That means when a Pomona homeowner wants a specific shingle profile or a particular cabinet line, we can source it without being tied to one supplier’s inventory. Material selection should serve your budget and your house, not a vendor’s sales quota. We will tell you exactly what you are getting and why it belongs on your home in Pomona’s inland-valley climate.

AfterCommon General Contractor Problems We See in Pomona Homes
- Unpermitted garage and back-room conversions. A surprising share of Pomona’s older lots have a garage that became a bedroom or a back porch that became a laundry room without city approval. These must be legalized or corrected before your new remodel passes inspection. We handle that process as part of the scope.
- Cloth-wrapped wiring and undersized framing. Homes built in the 1920s through the 1950s often carry electrical systems that no longer meet code and framing that cannot support modern loads. Opening a wall for a kitchen or bath remodel routinely reveals both. We write allowances for these discoveries so they do not sink your budget.
- Stucco and roof stress from Santa Ana winds and inland heat. Pomona’s long, hot summers and dry wind events bake exterior surfaces. We see cracked stucco, failed flashing, and granule loss on roofs across 91767 and 91768. Repairs done here need materials rated for sustained UV exposure and thermal cycling.
- Code-enforcement attention on older blocks. Pomona actively enforces building standards on aging residential properties. Work that stalls at inspection is almost always tied to prior unpermitted additions or electrical that was never updated. We scope for these issues before you pay a deposit.
Pricing for General Contractor in Pomona, CA
Here is what Pomona homeowners can expect for the most common projects, based on the housing stock and site conditions we actually see here:

| Project | Typical Pomona Range |
|---|---|
| Kitchen Remodel | $14,000 – $45,000 |
| Bathroom Remodel | $9,000 – $28,000 |
| Home Addition | $45,000 – $130,000 |
| Garage Conversion | $30,000 – $80,000 |
What moves these numbers is the condition of the existing structure, not the mood of the contractor. A kitchen in a 1940s bungalow with unpermitted prior work will cost more than the same footprint in a 1990s build because we have to bring the rough-in up to code before the cabinets go in. That work is real and it is not optional. Call (866) 623-7205 and we will walk your property, check what is actually there, and give you a written, line-item estimate free.

FAQs About General Contractor in Pomona
We stop, document what we found, and bring it to you immediately. Then we research the property’s permit history with Pomona’s building department and put together a written change order for the legalization or correction work. You approve the number before we touch it. No work continues under the table, because if it does, your final inspection will fail and you will pay to open walls twice.
Call (866) 623-7205 to talk through your specific situation. Estimates are free and the conversation is honest.
An allowance is a specific dollar amount written into your contract for work we know is likely but cannot fully quantify before demolition. In Pomona, we commonly write allowances for electrical rough-in, framing repairs, and waterproofing on pre-1970s homes. When we open the wall, you get an exact figure against that allowance. If we do not use it, you do not pay it. If the real number exceeds it, you approve the difference in writing before the extra work proceeds.
That is the Square Deal way: no vague language, no surprise invoices. Call (866) 623-7205 for a written estimate that spells out exactly what is included.
Because the work behind the drywall almost never matches what is on file, and Pomona’s inspectors verify the rough-in before your finishes go in. Knob-and-tube wiring, ungrounded outlets, undersized floor joists, and missing shear walls are all common in that era of housing. When we pull a permit for a kitchen or bath remodel, the inspector reviews the exposed framing and electrical, and any deficiencies must be corrected before we can close the wall.
The permit is not a penalty. It protects you from buying a remodel that hides fire and structural hazards. Call (866) 623-7205 to discuss your home’s vintage and what a permit review would mean for your project.
Yes. We have worked with Pomona homeowners who inherited a converted garage or an enclosed back porch that was never approved. The process involves pulling the original lot records, assessing the current condition against code, and working with the city on a path to legalization. Sometimes that means correcting an electrical service or adding lateral framing. Sometimes it means demo-and-rebuild. We give you that assessment in plain English before you commit to anything.
The earlier we look, the more options you have. Call (866) 623-7205 for a free evaluation.
We price them as written change orders with a clear scope, a clear dollar amount, and your signature before the work begins. On older Pomona homes, common upgrades include adding GFCI and AFCI protection, replacing corroded galvanized supply lines, adding venting, and reframing where walls were cut for previous work. These are not optional. They are what the inspector will require before sign-off, and we will not fudge them.
If you want a contractor who will tell you the truth about what a Pomona remodel actually costs, call (866) 623-7205. The estimate is free, and you will know exactly what you are getting and why.
