Fast, Reliable General Contractor Across Wrightwood
Finding a General Contractor who understands mountain building is different here. Wrightwood sits at roughly a mile of elevation inside the San Gabriel high country, where winter snow loads, freeze-thaw cycles, and summer wildfire exposure shape every foundation, roof, and exterior detail. We plan around narrow mountain roads, San Bernardino County permitting, and delivery windows that close when snow hits Lone Pine Canyon Road or Highway 2. Whether you’re remodeling a cabin off Sheep Creek Drive, adding a detached ADU near Mountain High, or replacing a snow-damaged roof on Alder Lane, call Brent Calloway and the Hampton Contractors team at (833) 467-4075 for a free estimate.
Why Hampton Contractors Is Wrightwood’s Preferred General Contractor Company
We’ve done the unglamorous work that matters up here. Inspecting frost-depth footings, checking septic setbacks before siting a shop, sequencing material deliveries around snow closures. Wrightwood homeowners call us because we scope the project against the mountain first, then price it honestly. Our reputation in Wrightwood is built on projects that survived their first heavy winter without callbacks, not on marketing. We carry the full scope under one contract: roofing and James Hardie siding, kitchens and baths, hardscaping, fencing, and ADU or prefab construction through Abodu, Dvele, and Boxabl. That range matters when a remodel turns into structural updates, or when a deck replacement becomes an ADU.
Brent Calloway leads every Wrightwood project personally from estimate through final inspection. One contractor, one project, one phone number to call when you have a question. We coordinate San Bernardino County permits, schedule around winter access, and keep a watch on the weather windows that dictate when concrete pours and truss deliveries can actually land on your lot.
Styles & brands we work with
Remodeling Contractor in Wrightwood
Remodeling Contractor work in Wrightwood almost always touches structure. Older cabins built incrementally over decades often lack the snow-load engineering and fire-resistance detailing current code requires. A kitchen remodel here typically runs $14,000 to $45,000, but the mountain wildcard is what’s behind the walls: undersized rafters, non-engineered foundations, or deck ledgers that were never bolted for a wet Sierra-style snow year. We address those before drywall, not after. Bathroom remodels in Wrightwood run $9,000 to $28,000, with shower replacements between $3,000 and $8,500 depending on whether we’re rebuilding the pan to prevent freeze-thaw leaks.
Whole-home and structural updates
Snow load is not a suggestion at this elevation. We’ve opened walls in Wrightwood cabins and found ridge beams a full 2x undersized for the roof above them. A whole-home remodel gives us the chance to correct that before you invest in finishes. We detail exterior penetrations so freeze-thaw doesn’t turn a small gap into a spring leak.
Kitchen and bath scope
We carry Cambria and Silestone quartz, KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, and Kohler plus Grohe plumbing fixtures, so you choose materials by brand and we install to mountain standard. Tub-to-shower conversions run $3,500 to $10,000 in Wrightwood. Vanity installation starts around $800.
Licensed General Contractor in Wrightwood
Licensed General Contractor work on Wrightwood acreage is county work. There’s no city hall up here. Permits, plan checks, and inspections run through San Bernardino County, and on parcels that straddle the ridge line, addressing can fall under San Bernardino or Los Angeles County jurisdiction depending on the exact position of the structure. We verify jurisdiction before we quote because it changes plan review timelines, inspection schedules, and sometimes grading requirements. Home additions in Wrightwood run $45,000 to $130,000 depending on foundation scope and snow-load engineering. ADU construction ranges $90,000 to $220,000.
Detached ADUs and shops
Septic and well setbacks drive siting on open lots. Where the leach field sits, where the well head is, and how much slope separates them from a proposed ADU often decides whether that structure goes where you imagined or 40 feet over. We pull the county health department records before we commit to a location. That back-and-forth is part of why we scope before quoting, not after.
Grading and foundation work
Sloped lots near Table Mountain and the Angeles National Forest edges need drainage planned before footings. We spec frost-depth foundations and stem walls that stand up to Wrightwood winters, then sequence concrete pours around weather windows. Undercutting a poorly graded slope costs more than fixing it at rough-in, and we’d rather tell you that on day one.
Trusted Brands We Service in Wrightwood
We install and service what we specify. GAF roofing systems handle the snow load and ember exposure Wrightwood demands, Schluter waterproofing keeps showers from leaking into cabin framing, Grohe and Sterling fixtures hold up through hard water and freezing nights, and our paver work uses Belgard, Unilock, and Techo-Bloc so what we build stays level through freeze-thaw. Because we stock and source for Wrightwood specifically, we pre-order before the snow closes the mountain roads. That’s not a brand promise. That’s how we keep a project moving in February.

AfterCommon General Contractor Problems We See in Wrightwood Homes
- Undersized foundations and frost heave. Many older cabin footings sit above frost line, which in Wrightwood means movement every winter. We dig to frost depth, add stem walls where needed, and stop the cycle.
- Septic and well conflicts on new structures. A detached ADU or shop sited inside the setback kills the permit. We pull county records and survey the lot before quoting location.
- Snow-damaged decks and exterior details. Ledger boards flashing fails, water enters, wood rots behind siding. We rebuild to snow-load standard and detail every penetration for ember resistance.
- Winter road access interrupting deliveries. Material runs up Highway 2 or Lone Pine Canyon Road stop when the snow does. We pre-order lumber, trusses, and tile before the first storm, then stage them on site.

FAQs About General Contractor in Wrightwood
They determine where the structure can legally go. San Bernardino County health department setbacks require minimum distances between a leach field, well head, and any new living or work space, and on sloped lots those distances are measured on the actual grade. We pull the existing septic and well records first, site the structure accordingly, and that final location often changes what the foundation and drainage work costs. Call (833) 467-4075 before you clear land, and we’ll check the setbacks on your parcel as part of the free estimate.
San Bernardino County issues building permits, grading permits, and health department sign-offs for septic and well compliance. No city hall is involved. On ridge-line parcels near the San Bernardino – Los Angeles county line, the controlling jurisdiction depends on the exact address and structure position, so we verify the parcel against county mapping before any plan goes in. That verification is free and it prevents a permit rejected in week two from becoming a redesign in week ten.
Snow closes mountain routes like Lone Pine Canyon Road and parts of Highway 2, sometimes for days. Material deliveries stall, concrete pours get pushed, and trades cannot reach the site. We schedule Wrightwood projects around those windows: pre-ordering lumber, trusses, and tile in the fall, staging materials on site before access degrades, and sequencing weather-sensitive work for the months with reliable road conditions. It doesn’t lower the price but it keeps your project from sitting frozen for six weeks.
Yes, and that is the bulk of the structural work we do in Wrightwood. We evaluate rafters, ridge beams, foundation depth, and exterior cladding against current snow-load and ember-resistance codes, then install what the structure actually needs: GAF roofing, James Hardie siding, fire-rated venting, and frost-depth foundation work. Most older cabins in Wrightwood need some combination of those before interior finish work makes sense. We’re happy to walk you through which parts are urgent and which can wait.
Plan drainage before you pour footings. The right approach on Wrightwood slopes is surface water management plus a frost-depth foundation, which usually means regrading away from the structure, adding swales or retaining as needed, and installing stem walls that keep groundwater from saturating the foundation. On the sloped lot off Lone Pine Canyon Road where we converted a failing deck into an ADU, we had to underpin the original footing and add a 30-inch frost-depth stem wall before roughing in plumbing, because the original deck foundation was never engineered for snow load. That’s what we mean when we say grade it right the first time. For a free written scope on your lot, call (833) 467-4075.
