Fast, Reliable General Contractor Across Highland
If you’re planning a remodel, addition, or reroof in Highland, you need a contractor who understands one thing before the first board is cut: this city sits at the base of the San Bernardino Mountains in a high-fire-severity zone, and that changes how every project gets permitted, built, and inspected. At Hampton Contractors, we handle the full scope – kitchens, bathrooms, whole-home remodels, roofing, siding, windows, hardscaping, and ADUs – under one contract, with one accountable team. Brent Calloway leads every project with a simple rule: write the full scope, name the materials, and don’t make the homeowner guess what the inspector will require. Call (833) 467-4075 to schedule a free estimate, and we’ll walk your property with the same eye we’d use on our own.
Why Hampton Contractors Is Highland’s Preferred General Contractor Company
Highland homeowners keep calling us for the same reason: we already know what their house is going to need before the inspector shows up. The mid-century tract stock from the 1950s through the 1970s dominates much of 92346, and those homes carry original wood-shake roofs, unvented attics, and stucco that hasn’t been touched in decades. Our General Contractor team has walked dozens of these properties, so we don’t flinch when a reroof turns into a re-deck or a kitchen remodel exposes framing that needs retrofit anchors.
We also understand that Highland isn’t Redlands or Loma Linda when it comes to code enforcement. The fire-severity overlay changes what passes. Our crews come prepared with Class A roofing assemblies, ember-resistant vent details, and the documentation to match – because we’ve seen too many cheap bids stall at inspection sign-off when those items weren’t in the written scope. Homeowners who hire us get one contractor, one project, and a quote that actually reflects what the City of Highland will require.
Reviewers across Highland consistently mention two things: we show up when we say we will, and we don’t pad the allowance line. That reputation matters in a city where word travels fast through East Highlands, the neighborhoods off Baseline, and the newer infill pockets near Greenspot Road.
Styles & brands we work with
Hire a General Contractor in Highland
Hire a General Contractor in Highland when the job spans more than one trade or touches anything structural, exterior, or permit-gated. A full kitchen remodel here typically runs $14,000 to $45,000, while a smaller kitchen refresh lands between $9,000 and $20,000. Bathroom remodels range from $9,000 to $28,000, and a walk-in shower install runs $4,500 to $12,000. Those numbers include the materials, labor, and the permit coordination a real GC provides – not just the finish work.
Kitchen and Bath Remodels
We rebuild kitchens and bathrooms in Highland homes where the original 1960s layout no longer works. That means moving plumbing lines, upgrading electrical for modern appliances, and often replacing water-damaged subfloor before the cabinets ever arrive. We source Cambria and Silestone countertops, Kohler and Moen fixtures, and KraftMaid or Wellborn cabinetry so you know exactly what’s going in.
Additions and ADUs
A home addition in Highland runs $45,000 to $130,000, and an ADU construction project ranges from $90,000 to $220,000. These are permit-heavy jobs, and in Highland’s fire zone, the plans have to account for ember-resistant assemblies, defensible space, and access for fire apparatus. We handle that – including the pre-application review – so you’re not chasing the building department yourself.
General Contractor Services in Highland
General Contractor Services in Highland go beyond interior remodeling. We handle roofing, siding, windows, doors, fencing, hardscaping, and full exterior renovations – because a home at the base of the foothills wears down from the outside in. Hot inland summers with intense sun and periodic Santa Ana winds dry out roofing, stress stucco, and expose drainage problems on sloped lots near the foothills. Our scope covers all of it.
Roofing and Siding
A roof replacement in Highland runs $8,000 to $20,000, and a metal roof installation goes from $15,000 to $40,000. We’re GAF and CertainTeed certified, which matters when your insurer asks for documentation. James Hardie siding holds up to the sun and dry wind better than original stucco, and we install it with the proper gaps and flashing details the inspectors here want to see.
Impact Windows and Doors
Impact window installation in Highland costs $8,000 to $25,000, and standard window replacement runs $4,500 to $15,000. PGT and Therma-Tru windows and doors aren’t just about energy savings – they harden the home against ember intrusion, which is a specific inspection point in the fire-severity zone. We order to spec and document the ratings.

Trusted Brands We Service in Highland
Hampton Contractors sources from a documented portfolio of 50-plus nationally recognized product brands, so Highland homeowners get materials they recognize with installation they can trust. That means Cambria quartz countertops in a kitchen remodel, Kohler fixtures in a bathroom, GAF-certified roofing overhead, and Belgard pavers on the patio. We’re not tied to one supplier or one catalog – you choose the brand, we handle the ordering, delivery, and install. For Highland specifically, we keep common ember-resistant vent products and Class A underlayment details in our standard spec, because those aren’t optional here. One contractor, one project, and no mystery substitutions.
Common General Contractor Problems We See in Highland Homes
- Wood-shake roofs that fail ember-resistance inspection. Original shake roofs on 1950s – 70s tract homes in foothill-adjacent neighborhoods won’t pass a reroof or addition permit until they’re upgraded to Class A. We find this on nearly every older home we quote.
- Unvented attics that trap heat and invite inspection failure. A hot attic in a Highland summer dries out decking and voids some shingle warranties. When we open these attics, we often find zero ventilation, and the inspector won’t sign off until that’s corrected.
- Stucco cracks from Santa Ana wind cycles and dry heat. Original stucco on sloped lots near the foothills cracks and lets water in during winter rains. That leads to framing damage that a paint-over bid will never catch.
- Foundation settlement on mid-century slab-on-grade homes. Older Highland homes on expansive soils shift over decades. Before a room addition goes vertical, the existing slab often needs assessment, and we include that in the written scope instead of discovering it mid-project.

AfterPricing for General Contractor in Highland, CA
Here’s what Highland homeowners should expect to pay for the most common project scopes we quote. These are real ranges based on the work we’ve priced in 92346, not national averages.
| Project | Highland Price Range |
|---|---|
| Roof Replacement | $8,000 – $20,000 |
| Metal Roof Installation | $15,000 – $40,000 |
| Home Addition | $45,000 – $130,000 |
| ADU Construction | $90,000 – $220,000 |
| Impact Window Installation | $8,000 – $25,000 |
What moves the number is the condition of what’s already there. A roof that needs full re-decking costs more than an overlay. An addition that triggers a seismic retrofit costs more than one on a clean slab. We write every scope in detail, with allowances spelled out and no blank lines for the inspector to fill in later. Call (833) 467-4075 for a free estimate, and you’ll get a line-item quote – not a ballpark.

FAQs About General Contractor in Highland
A roof in Highland needs to meet Class A fire rating requirements under the city’s fire-severity overlay, and original wood-shake roofs won’t clear. The assembly – decking, underlayment, covering, and vents – has to be ember-resistant, which means adding ember-resistant vents and removing or replacing any exposed wood components. We document the rating so your insurer can see it. Call (833) 467-4075 if you’re not sure what your current roof carries.
Because Highland’s building department enforces fire-zone requirements at inspection, and a quote that omits the permit line is a quote that will change once the inspector arrives. A compliant quote includes the permit application, the plan review, the inspections, and the final sign-off – in writing, with no blank allowance left for the upgrade the inspector requires. Call (833) 467-4075 and ask us to show you a real Highland quote structure.
We write the full scope before we start – including the rough-in, the allowances, and the specific materials – so nothing gets “discovered” mid-project that wasn’t already priced. In foothill-adjacent Highland homes, that means we inspect the attic, the roof assembly, and the existing stucco during the estimate, not after demo. Our quotes are line-item specific, and change orders only happen if you change your mind. Call (833) 467-4075 for an estimate that reads like a contract.
Yes, and it happens regularly. The cheap bid skips the Class A roof upgrade and the ember-resistant vent retrofit, then the permit fails inspection sign-off and the roofline has to be opened again – at your cost. The original contractor walks away, or you pay the change order. A Highland addition that triggers fire-zone compliance can add thousands if it’s not in the original scope. We price it correctly the first time.
Many do. Mid-century slab-on-grade homes on expansive soils often need foundation assessment before a room addition goes vertical, and original framing may need seismic retrofit anchors once walls are opened. We include that evaluation in our estimate, so you’re not surprised when the engineer’s report comes back. If you’re planning a remodel on a 1950s – 70s Highland home, call (833) 467-4075 and we’ll walk it with you.
Why Fire-Zone Compliance Is the Spine of Every Highland Quote
Because Highland’s foothill-adjacent tracts sit in a high-fire-severity zone, a reroof or addition on a mid-century home here won’t pass until original wood-shake roofing and unvented attics are upgraded to Class A and ember-resistant assemblies – an inspection gate that many neighboring inland cities don’t impose. That’s not a marketing line. It’s what the building department enforces, and it’s the single biggest reason a Highland quote should look different from a quote in Redlands or Loma Linda.
On a mid-century tract home near the foothills, our crew pulled the original wood-shake roof and found an unvented attic that would never clear an ember-resistance inspection, so we re-decked, added ember-resistant vents, and brought the assembly to Class A before the addition permit could move forward. We wrote the whole scope of work in writing – including the rough-in and the allowances – so the homeowner’s insurer could see documented compliance when the claim was filed. That’s the difference between a contractor who knows Highland and one who’s just working here.
Cheap bids skip the Class A and ember-vent upgrade and quietly leave the unvented attic, so the permit fails inspection sign-off and the roofline has to be opened again. Other quotes omit wildfire-rated assemblies and defensible-space clearing from the written scope, so the “allowances” balloon into change orders once the inspector requires the upgrade. And we’ve seen Santa Ana-wind-driven single-ply roof and stucco jobs sold without the wind-load documentation the draw schedule depends on, stalling the lender’s release after rough-in. If your quote doesn’t mention any of this, ask why.
