Fast, Reliable General Contractor Across Los Serranos
General contractor work in Los Serranos means building on slopes, under HOA design review, and to Chino Hills wind and wildfire code. A kitchen remodel here runs $14,000 – $45,000. A room addition runs $45,000 – $130,000. Those are the numbers, and the difference between a smooth job and one that stalls at plan check comes down to whether your contractor knows the hillside ordinance as well as the floor plan. We’re Framework Contractors, and we’ve been building in Los Serranos long enough to know that a deck off Carbon Canyon is not the same job as a deck in flatland Chino. Call (844) 681-3590 for a free estimate, and you’ll get a line-item quote that includes the grading, the engineering, and the HOA submittal before we ever ask for a deposit.
Why Framework Contractors Is Los Serranos’s Preferred General Contractor Company
Los Serranos homeowners don’t call us because they saw an ad. They call because a neighbor on Butterfield Ranch Road or off Soquel Canyon Parkway had us handle a remodel, a retaining wall, or a roof replacement, and the inspections passed without drama. That kind of word travels in a community where one bad hillside job can trigger a drainage complaint from three houses downhill.
Noel Carbajal leads our team, and he’s managed projects in every tract between Carbon Canyon and the Los Serranos Country Club. That matters when the Chino Hills building department wants slope-stability calcs before framing starts, or when an HOA’s architectural committee has a specific stucco color palette for exterior work. We know the reviewers, we know the code chapters, and we’ve already solved the problems your job will hit.
We don’t work alone in Los Serranos. We bring our own crews and coordinate every trade under one contract, so a kitchen remodel that starts with cabinets doesn’t stall waiting on a plumber who’s never worked in a 91709 hillside home. Homeowners here tell us the same thing: they needed one accountable team, not six phone numbers.

General Contractor Services in Los Serranos
General Contractor Services in Los Serranos means taking a hillside home built in the late 1980s or 1990s and making it work for how you live now, without fighting the stucco, the slope, or the HOA alone. Jobs here most often fall into three buckets: kitchen and bath remodels, room additions and ADU conversions, and exterior work like decks, retaining walls, roofing, and fencing. A kitchen remodel runs $14,000 – $45,000. A bathroom runs $9,000 – $28,000. An ADU runs $90,000 – $220,000 all-in, and the single biggest cost driver on any of these is the hillside grading and structural work most flatland contractors never quote.
Kitchen and Bath Remodels
Los Serranos homes are loaded with late-1990s builder-grade kitchens waiting for cabinets, countertops, and fixtures worth the investment. We install KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, Cambria and Caesarstone slabs, and Kohler, Grohe, Toto, Moen, and Delta fixtures. You pick the materials. We handle demo, framing, plumbing, electrical, tile, and final inspection.

Additions and ADUs
Room additions and ADU conversions in Los Serranos hit the hillside grading ordinance immediately, especially in the Carbon Canyon and Soquel Canyon tracts. We pull the Chino Hills grading permit alongside the building permit, engineer retaining walls for clay-heavy soil, and build to Class A ember-resistant standards. For prefab ADUs, we work with Dvele and Boxabl to keep the structure off your slope for months while the site work gets done right.

Construction Company in Los Serranos
As a full-scope Construction Company in Los Serranos, we take jobs that would otherwise require three or four specialty contractors: a roofer, a window company, a fence crew, and a hardscape installer. One contract. One point of contact. You call us, we run it from the roof down to the retaining wall at the back line of your lot.
Roof replacement in Los Serranos runs $8,000 – $20,000, and we install GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, and Tamko systems with the Class A fire rating Chino Hills requires in the wildland-urban interface. Impact window installation runs $8,000 – $25,000, and for hillside exposures off Carbon Canyon that take the full force of a Santa Ana wind event, impact-rated PGT or CGI windows are the only smart call. Vinyl fencing runs $3,500 – $9,000. Aluminum runs $4,000 – $10,000.
Exterior and Slope Work
Decks, retaining walls, and drainage on Los Serranos slopes are not flatland work. The clay-heavy hillside soil expands in winter rains and cracks in summer heat, and a retaining wall built without proper drainage will lean within five years. We engineer every wall for the specific soil, and we build decks with ember-resistant decking and wind-rated connections meant for Carbon Canyon gusts.
Whole-Home Projects
When a Los Serranos homeowner wants the full transformation, we run it as one project: kitchen and baths inside, roof and windows outside, hardscape with Belgard or Techo-Bloc pavers, and fencing at the lot line. That scope is rare, which is exactly why we built Framework Contractors around it.
Trusted Brands We Service in Los Serranos
We work with the brands you already trust, because your materials, our craftsmanship is how a Los Serranos project should run. For prefab construction on hillside lots, we partner with Dvele and Boxabl, two manufacturers whose assemblies are engineered to survive California wind and fire requirements out of the factory. For kitchens and baths, our cabinet and countertop lines include KraftMaid, Wellborn, Cambria, and Caesarstone. For plumbing fixtures, it’s Kohler, Grohe, Toto, Moen, Delta, and Blanco. We keep local relationships with suppliers serving the 91709 corridor, which means material lead times for Los Serranos jobs don’t stretch out the way they do for contractors ordering from out of region.

AfterCommon General Contractor Problems We See in Los Serranos Homes
- Stucco ledger pull-off after wind events. Decks bolted into 1990s Spanish-revival stucco without structural ties or moisture barriers tear away during Santa Ana wind gusts off Carbon Canyon. We rebuild the ledger connection, flash it, and engineer the attachment for the wind load the code requires.
- Hillside grading stalls at plan check. A contractor files a building permit for a room addition and gets the plans kicked back because Chino Hills requires slope-stability calcs and a grading permit. Cheap quotes skip those calcs. Our quotes include them, which is why our inspections sign off.
- Retaining walls without drainage. Clay-heavy hillside soils in Los Serranos expand and contract through wet winters and dry summers, and a wall built without a drainage system will crack and lean. We build every wall with engineered weep systems and backfill.
- Insurance claim gaps after fire or wind. Homeowners who used a contractor that never pulled final inspection find their wildfire or wind claim rejected or their premium raised. Documented permit sign-off, especially on roofing, windows, and decks, is the paperwork that protects you.

FAQs About General Contractor in Los Serranos
Decks and roof additions in Los Serranos must meet the Chino Hills wind-load requirements for the wildland-urban interface zone, which typically means engineered connections rated for 85 – 100 mph gusts off Carbon Canyon, plus Class A roofing assemblies and ember-resistant soffit and eave detailing. A compliant quote includes the structural engineering for those loads. A cheap quote doesn’t mention them at all. Call (844) 681-3590 and we’ll walk your specific lot’s requirements.
A hillside deck in Los Serranos needs both a Chino Hills grading permit for the slope work and, in most tracts, HOA architectural review before the building permit clears. Flatland Chino decks can often skip the grading review. Los Serranos decks can’t, because the city checks slope stability, drainage, and fire defensible space before it will sign off. Skipping either track stalls your job. We file both.
Documented permits and final inspection sign-off give your insurer proof the work met Chino Hills code at the time it was built, which supports a claim and can protect your premium. Undocumented work on a roof, deck, or window in the wildland-urban interface is exactly what adjusters look for to deny or reduce payouts. We leave you a complete sign-off package: grading, framing, final.
A compliant Los Serranos quote includes slope-stability engineering, the Chino Hills grading permit line item, HOA design-review submittal work, ember-resistant material allowances, and the wind-rated structural connections your hillside exposure requires. A cheap quote leaves those out on purpose, then sends you a change order when plan check rejects the un-engineered plans. Call (844) 681-3590 for a quote that includes everything up front.
Yes. We handle HOA architectural submittals and the full Chino Hills permit path, including grading and hillside review, as part of the contract. Off Carbon Canyon in the hillside tracts, we rebuilt an add-on deck tied into a new retaining wall where the original ledger had pulled from the stucco after a Santa Ana wind event. We pulled the grading permit alongside HOA approval, engineered the wall for the clay-heavy slope, and used ember-resistant decking and Class A assemblies. The inspection sign-off package we left behind, grading, framing, final, is what let that homeowner keep their premium.
