Remodeling Company in Chino, CA
Home renovation in Chino means working across two very different housing stocks: the 1960s – 1980s stucco tract homes in established 91710 neighborhoods, and the newer master-planned communities rising on former dairy and agricultural land in 91708 near the Chino Hills border. Elmwood Contractors has served Chino since 2011, coordinating everything from kitchen remodels in aging postwar frames to full additions on freshly graded lots. We name the brands going into your home before the contract is signed, and we plan every job around the expansive clay soils and Santa Ana wind exposure that define this part of the Inland Empire. Call (866) 253-8554 to schedule a free estimate for your Chino renovation.
Why Chino Homes Are Different
Chino sits in the Inland Empire’s dairy-and-ag transition zone, and that history shows up in ways most homeowners never see until a project starts. The established tracts in 91710 were built between roughly 1965 and 1985, mostly wood-frame construction with stucco exteriors and tile roofs. Those homes have now reached the age where original plumbing, electrical panels, and roofing systems need real attention, not patchwork. In 91708, much of the ground was ranchland or farmland within living memory, and builders are still working through master-planned phases near the 71. Contractors working there hit old fill, abandoned irrigation lines, and inconsistent soils that require engineered grading and compaction testing before anything goes vertical. The city’s active grading and seismic review process adds a layer of coordination that a single-source general contractor is built to handle. Add in hot, dry summers with Santa Ana wind events that stress roofing, stucco, and exterior finishes, and you get a market where the right material choice is not a luxury – it is the difference between a renovation that lasts 5 years and one that lasts 30.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Chino Services
Most Chino homeowners come to us for one of two reasons: they need a general contractor to coordinate a multi-trade project without the scheduling chaos, or they want a full home remodel with a defined brand list and upfront pricing. Here is what each looks like in Chino.
General Contractor in Chino
Chino projects frequently touch both interior and exterior systems at once – a kitchen remodel that requires a structural wall removal, a roof repair triggered by Santa Ana wind damage, or a home addition that means new stucco, windows, and hardscape in a single permitted scope. Acting as your General Contractor in Chino, we hold the permit paperwork, coordinate every trade, and make sure the right products – from James Hardie siding to Schluter waterproofing – go in the right sequence. One point of contact, one project plan, one standard for the whole job.
Home Remodeling in Chino
In older 91710 homes, remodeling often means working around 1960s and 1970s framing conventions, original cast-iron drain lines, and floor plans that were not designed for modern kitchens or open living spaces. In 91708, remodels are more likely about upgrading builder-grade finishes to something better suited to how the homeowner actually lives. Our Home Remodeling in Chino work covers kitchens, baths, living spaces, and exterior envelope upgrades, with every material drawn from our vetted brand lineup – KraftMaid and Wellborn for cabinetry, Cambria and Silestone for counters, Kohler and Moen for fixtures. You see the actual product names before you sign.

Home Renovation in Chino
Home renovation in Chino usually means taking a home that is 40 to 60 years old in 91710, or a newer but builder-basic home in 91708, and rebuilding it room by room to the standard the homeowner actually wants. The clay-heavy soils and seismic review requirements in this part of the Inland Empire mean some renovation projects also need foundation attention, drainage correction, or sheer-wall upgrades – work that a specialty remodeler will not touch but a full-scope Home Renovation contractor handles as a matter of course. We coordinate every trade under one roof, so a renovation that touches plumbing, electrical, framing, drywall, and finishes does not turn into a six-month game of phone tag.
Home Renovation Contractors

Home Renovation Companies
Signs you need it
You have collected four separate bids, realized none of them cover the whole scope, and you are tired of being the general contractor yourself.

The honest answer is that a Chino home renovation through a single company typically lands between $9,000 for a small bath and $45,000 for a full kitchen, with additions pushing toward $130,000 depending on square footage and site conditions.
How we do it
We bring the brand list, the trade relationships, and the permit experience under one contract, so every sub – framing, plumbing, electrical, tile, paint – is scheduled by us and accountable to us.

FAQs About Remodeling Company in Chino
Most Chino projects can begin within 2 to 4 weeks of a signed contract, depending on permit review and material lead times. Chino’s grading and seismic review can add time for additions or any work that disturbs soil. Call (866) 253-8554 to get a realistic start date for your specific project.
Yes. Many 91708 communities have design review committees with specific requirements for exterior colors, roofing materials, and fence styles. We prepare and submit the documentation your HOA needs, and we coordinate the HOA approval timing with the city permit process. Call (866) 253-8554 to ask about your specific community’s requirements.
Chino’s combination of older tract homes in 91710, newer subdivisions in 91708, expansive clay soils, and seismic review requirements means some projects need engineering or foundation work that is less common in neighboring cities. That can push a Chino renovation toward the upper end of a price range, but we price it upfront. Call (866) 253-8554 for a written estimate.

What Chino Customers Say
"Ground up build. Permits, foundation, framing, all of it, and he ran the schedule tightly enough that the subs were never tripping over each other. Finished within a month of a fourteen month estimate."
— Tara Mercer"The foundation survey came back dead on. Everything downstream of that being square is the reason the rest of the build went smoothly."
— Gilbert Morales"He was upfront about a soil issue that added cost early rather than absorbing it and surprising us at the end."
— Gilbert Torres
