Remodeling Company in Colton, CA
Bradford Remodeling handles general contracting, kitchen remodeling, and whole-home remodeling in Colton, CA. Most Colton homes date from the 1950s through the 1980s, which means we’re regularly working with original framing, outdated electrical panels, and cast-iron drain lines that newer Inland Empire subdivisions don’t have. The job is different here, and pricing reflects that. Call (903) 568-7222 for a written estimate before any work begins.
Why Colton Homes Are Different
Colton sits on the south edge of the San Bernardino Valley, close enough to the Santa Ana River that soil movement and drainage are real factors on remodel jobs, especially south of the I-10. Homes in the older grid around La Cadena Drive and Valley Boulevard were largely built between 1940 and 1970. Many still have their original floor plans, which means kitchens are closed off, bathrooms are small, and load-bearing walls are exactly where a homeowner wants them gone. A general contractor who doesn’t know Colton’s housing stock will bid it like a Riverside tract home and get burned at rough-in. We don’t.
Summers here hit the high 90s and stay there. That drives decisions on insulation, window specs, and HVAC routing in a way it doesn’t in coastal markets. We also see a lot of homes with flat or low-slope roof sections, which affects how we tie in additions and how we flash around new exterior work. The city processes permits through its own building division, and we handle that paperwork start to finish. If a Colton job needs a structural change, we know what the plan checker is looking for and we submit it right the first time.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Colton Services
Three services make up most of what we do in Colton: general contracting for structural and whole-scope work, kitchen remodeling for the homes where the original 1960s layout is still in place, and whole-home remodeling for buyers and long-time owners who want the entire house brought up to current code and livability. Each service has its own Colton page with pricing specifics.
General Contractor in Colton
As a General Contractor in Colton, we take the job from permit to final inspection. That often means opening up a load-bearing wall, reframing for a new window or door, or tying an addition into a 60-year-old roofline. Colton’s older homes rarely match the dimensions on their original plans, so we field-verify before we cut. You get one written price, one scope, and one crew held to The Garrison Standard on site. No subs showing up without notice, no numbers that move mid-job.
Kitchen Remodeling in Colton
Kitchen Remodeling in Colton usually starts with taking down a wall between the kitchen and living room that didn’t exist in the original floor plan. Colton kitchens from the 1950s and 60s sit in an 8-foot-wide galley with a soffit above the cabinets. We reframe for the new opening, reroute plumbing and electrical through the soffit space, and spec cabinets like KraftMaid or Wellborn that give the room a full custom look at a known price. Backsplash, counters, and lighting follow the same written scope.
Home Remodeling in Colton
Home Remodeling in Colton covers the projects that touch more than one room: reworking a floor plan, adding square footage, updating a bath and kitchen in the same permit, or bringing an older home up to current energy and safety codes. On a Colton home from the 1970s, that routinely includes a panel upgrade, attic insulation, and new windows spec’d for Inland Empire heat. We write the whole scope, in order, with a price beside each line, before we file for permits.

Two things push a Colton remodel toward the top of a range: hidden conditions inside older walls (original wiring, non-standard framing) and finish selections (Cambria or Caesarstone counters, Wellborn full-overlay cabinets). Both are line-items in the written price you get up front. There is no second number at the door. We put it in writing before we pull the permit.

FAQs About Remodeling Company in Colton
Yes. We pull all permits through the City of Colton’s building division, schedule inspections, and stay on site through final sign-off. The permit work is part of your written scope. You don’t chase plan check, and you don’t get a surprise line item for a permit fee that appeared out of nowhere.
Most Colton kitchens take 4 to 8 weeks from demo to final inspection, depending on how much structural work is in the plan. A wall removal or joist repair adds time. A cabinet-only refresh is faster. Your written estimate includes a week-by-week schedule, and we report delays as they happen, not after the fact.
Yes. Some Colton neighborhoods, particularly newer subdivisions east of I-215, have design-review requirements for exterior changes. We pull the HOA’s architectural guidelines as part of the scope review and file what needs to be filed before any exterior work begins. Interior remodels usually aren’t subject to HOA review, but we confirm rather than assume.
