We’re Bradford Remodeling Co Riverside, part of the Garrison Partners family since 2004. Our crews know the streets, the soil, and the county requirements that shape building here along the Santa Ana River corridor. Bloomington is not Fontana, and it’s not Rialto. The ground behaves differently, the permits work differently, and a General Contractor who doesn’t understand that will cost you money. We do understand it, and we write it into the scope from day one.
Why Bradford Remodeling Co Riverside Is Bloomington’s Preferred General Contractor Company
Homeowners in Bloomington call us because we answer the phone and we keep our word. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is a written guarantee on every completed project: if our work fails inside that first year, we return and correct it at no charge. That isn’t a slogan. It’s the Garrison Standard, and it means your signed guarantee is in your hand before we leave the job site.
Our technicians are background-checked and show up in uniform. You’ll know who’s walking through your gate before the truck parks. And when you call, a live person answers, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. No voicemail maze. No callback queue. Curtis Lane runs our jobs by the books, which means written pricing, documented scope, and a punch list that gets closed before we call the project done.
We’ve scoped and built on acreage lots off Valley Boulevard, along the older ranch tracts near Cedar Avenue, and in the newer subdivisions south of the 10. That local experience matters when it comes time to pull county permits, move an existing septic line, or lift a building pad above the floodplain. You want a contractor who has done this here, not someone learning the county map on your dime.
Styles & brands we work with
Remodeling Contractor in Bloomington
A Remodeling Contractor in Bloomington handles interior and exterior renovations on existing homes: kitchens, baths, whole-home remodels, room additions, and attached or detached structure work. The first sentence you’ll hear from us is about scope: what’s load-bearing, what’s not, what’s behind the drywall, and what the soil report says before we pour. A typical kitchen remodel in Bloomington runs $14,000 to $45,000 depending on cabinet grade and whether we’re reworking the rough-in plumbing and electrical. A bathroom remodel falls between $9,000 and $28,000.
What actually changes the price here is the ground. Slab-on-grade foundations on expansive clay shift. If you’re remodeling a 1960s ranch and adding square footage, we may need to address the substrate before we ever swing a hammer. That’s a Bloomington reality, not a sales pitch.
Kitchen and Bath Rough-Ins
Older homes along Valley Boulevard frequently have original cast-iron waste lines that are failing after decades of soil settlement. When we open a wall for a remodel, we inspect those lines. If they’re cracked or offset, we replace them before rough-in inspection. That’s not a change order; it’s a known Bloomington condition we flag during the estimate.
Attached and Detached Additions
Adding a room or a second bath onto a Bloomington home often means tying new footings to an existing slab that has already moved. We order a soils report, confirm how the existing foundation is performing, and design the tie-in so the new work doesn’t crack the old work. On open acreage, we also survey where your septic tank and leach field sit so the new footprint doesn’t conflict with county setback requirements.
Licensed General Contractor in Bloomington
A Licensed General Contractor in Bloomington is who you hire when the project involves structural work, county permits, site grading, or new construction attached to or separate from the house. We hold the license, we pull the permits, and we’re on site for the county inspections from foundation pre-pour through final. Room additions in Bloomington typically run $45,000 to $130,000. Garage conversions run $30,000 to $80,000. A full ADU on an acreage lot is $90,000 to $220,000, depending on whether you’re building on a slab or pier-and-beam, how far the utilities have to run, and what kind of septic work the county requires.
You’ll hear some contractors quote a number before they’ve read the soil report or checked the septic as-built. That’s how homeowners end up with a permit rejection and a re-drawn plan six weeks into the project. We scope foundation, drainage, and utility conflicts before we quote, so the number we give you is the number we build to.
New Builds and ADUs on Acreage
Building a detached ADU or shop on an open Bloomington lot means county, not city, permitting. San Bernardino County reviews setback lines, septic placement, well clearance, and floodplain elevation. We handle that paperwork before you sign anything, because a rejected permit after plans are drawn costs you time and money. We bring in structural fill where the lot sits low, set the building pad above the floodplain, and daylight drainage to a legal outfall.
Foundation and Grading Work
Expansive clay under a slab does not show itself until after the first wet season. That’s when walls crack and doors stop latching. We recommend soil testing on every new foundation in Bloomington, and we specify piering or a raised perimeter beam wherever the clay is active. It adds to the quote on the front end, but it saves you a five-figure foundation repair three years after the certificate of occupancy.
Trusted Brands We Service in Bloomington
We build with manufacturer-backed materials so the spec sheet backs up the guarantee. That means KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, Cambria and Caesarstone surfaces, Kohler and Moen fixtures, James Hardie siding, and GAF roofing. On Bloomington fence and patio work, we install Jerith aluminum and Belgard paver systems, selected for how they hold up through hot dry summers and sudden downpours. These are name-brand products with published specs and manufacturer warranties, which means when something fails, we know who to call and you’re not left with a mystery part and a shrug.

AfterCommon General Contractor Problems We See in Bloomington Homes
- Slab cracking from expansive clay: Bloomington sits on the Santa Ana River floodplain. The soil swells when wet and shrinks when dry. Homes built in the 1950s through 1970s almost never have the deeper footings and moisture barriers that today’s code requires.
- Failing cast-iron waste lines and clay sewer pipe: Older tracts along Valley Boulevard still run on original cast iron and clay. Soil settlement over 50 years cracks pipe at the joints. We see it on nearly every older remodel we open up.
- County permit rejections from missed septic and well setbacks: Acreage owners often draw their dream ADU or shop before anyone checks where the septic tank is buried. San Bernardino County will reject the plan. We confirm the as-built before we draw.
- Material hauls and heavy equipment access on unpaved lots: Long driveways and open dirt lots add trucking and crane time that standard per-square-foot pricing never captures. We line-item access and haul costs so the draw schedule doesn’t blow out at rough-in.
Pricing for General Contractor in Bloomington, CA

Yes, the spread is wide. That’s because a garage conversion with existing framing and an accessible septic line is a very different job from a detached ADU on low, wet ground that needs structural fill, a new leach field, and a 200-foot electrical run from the pole. We quote line by line, in writing, before work starts. The price you sign is the price you pay. If the site conditions change, you know before we spend a dollar, not after.
Call (424) 567-8472 and ask for a written line-item estimate. Free, no obligation, and it takes the guesswork out of the biggest check you’ll write this decade.

FAQs About General Contractor in Bloomington
Yes. Bloomington is unincorporated San Bernardino County, so a detached ADU or shed conversion under 120 square feet still falls under county building codes if it has plumbing or is intended for occupancy. A purely storage shed without utilities may be exempt from a building permit, but if you’re adding a bathroom, kitchenette, or sleeping space, you need a county permit and a septic or sewer plan that shows the connection point. Call (424) 567-8472 and we’ll pull the permit for you.
They can add $5,000 to $15,000 to the foundation work depending on what the soils report shows. Expansive clay under a slab means we either drill piers to competent soil, deepen the perimeter footings, or both. On a simple 12-by-16 addition, that’s the difference between a $52,000 job and a $67,000 job. If a contractor quotes you a room addition here without discussing a soils test, walk away. Call (424) 567-8472 for a quote that accounts for the ground before we pour.
Sometimes, but you’ll need to verify the existing septic tank and leach field locations against the new living-space footprint. A garage conversion that adds a bathroom requires a connection to the existing septic system, which must have the capacity and the setback clearance. If the garage was built inside the required setback distance, the county may require you to move the leach field entirely, which costs thousands before framing even starts. We check the as-built first. Call (424) 567-8472 to get the survey rolling.
Because surface crack repair on expansive clay is a temporary patch. The soil keeps moving. Piers drilled to stable soil or bedrock stop the movement at the source, which is the only way to keep repaired drywall from cracking again in the next wet season. On slab-on-grade ranch homes from the 1950s and 1960s, we see the same pattern repeated: hairline crack, first rain, wider crack, misaligned doors. Piering costs more than a surface patch, but it’s the difference between fixing a symptom and fixing the cause. Call (424) 567-8472 and we’ll have an engineer look at it, not just a sales rep with a caulk gun.
Your punch list should cover final grading and drainage, septic and water line as-builts, door and window operation after the first dry season, and a written confirmation that all county inspections passed with final sign-off. On an acreage build, we also verify that surface water drains away from the foundation and toward a legal daylight point, that the leach field was installed per the county-approved plan, and that the well, if present, was tested for flow and contamination before closing. You should have all of that in writing before you sign the final release. We deliver that packet on every new build we complete in Bloomington.
