AfterConstruction Before & After in Rancho Cucamonga, CA
Photos beat promises every time. We’ve documented every project since 2007 - over 4,000 jobs - because a homeowner in Rancho Cucamonga deserves to see what “done right” actually looks like before they sign anything. Below are representative transformations across our seven trades, each with the photo record our crews deliver as standard under The Haven Standard.
Recent Transformations
Kitchen Remodel: Galley to Open-Concept in North Rancho Cucamonga
The wall between kitchen and living room was load-bearing, which meant the beam had to be engineered and permitted through San Bernardino County - we pulled the permit, passed inspection, and the homeowner got the signed documentation. We installed KraftMaid cabinets with soft-close hardware, a Kohler farmhouse sink, and under-cabinet LED strips. The photo record shows the beam calc sheet, the rough inspection, and the finished electrical. Under Clause 1, the $34,500 price was written before demolition started; the final invoice was $34,200 because we hit our material estimate.
Bathroom Remodel: Leaking Shower Pan to Curbless Walk-In
The leak had been running long enough to stain the garage drywall - we opened the subfloor, documented the rot with photos, and showed the homeowner before cutting anything. We replaced the subfloor, installed a Schluter-Kerdi waterproofing membrane (the spec sheet is in their photo record), and pitched the pan to a linear drain so the entry could stay curbless. Toto fixtures, matte black hardware, and a floating vanity. Written price was $18,900; one change order for upgraded tile added $340, signed before the tile went in.
Roofing: Three-Layer Tear-Off with Cracked Decking in Etiwanda
Three layers is the legal limit in California, and this roof was there with a layer of torch-down someone had tried in the 1990s. We stripped to bare sheathing, found cracked 3/8″ plywood at the eaves where leaks had softened it, and replaced 380 square feet of decking. GAF Timberline HDZ with a System Plus warranty, new ridge vent for the attic, and ice-and-water shield at the valleys because Etiwanda gets the Santa Ana wind-driven rain. The photo record shows every layer coming off, the bare deck, the new underlayment, and the finished ridge. Written price: $14,200. No changes.
Windows & Doors: Single-Pane Aluminum to Vinyl Retrofit in Alta Loma
The aluminum frames conducted heat so aggressively the homeowner’s south wall was unusable in July. We measured for Anlin Catalina retrofits - vinyl frame slides into the existing aluminum track, no stucco tear-out - with low-E glass and Argon fill. The patio door got the same treatment with a foot bolt and multi-point lock. Photo record shows the old U-factor sticker, the gap measurement, and the finished caulk line. Written price for 14 openings and the door: $11,400. Passed Title 24 compliance on inspection.
Driveway & Pavers: Cracked Concrete to Belgard Permeable Courtstone
The concrete had heaved where a camphor tree’s roots grew underneath - we removed the slab, severed the offending roots (arborist consult in the photo record), and regraded with a 2% slope away from the garage. Belgard Courtstone permeable pavers on 6″ of open-graded aggregate so Rancho Cucamonga’s heavy winter rains don’t sheet toward the foundation. The permeable base qualifies for some water district rebates; we included the application paperwork. Written price: $9,800. The change order was for extending the apron to the sidewalk - $1,200, signed before the base went in.
Home Addition & ADU: Garage Conversion to 480-Square-Foot Junior ADU
The previous owner had thrown up drywall and a sink without permits - we had to strip to studs and start over. We insulated to R-13 walls and R-30 vaulted ceiling, ran a dedicated electrical sub-panel, added a mini-split for heating and cooling, and installed a legal egress window with a window well. The kitchenette got Wellborn cabinets and a 24″ range; the bath got a 32″ shower pan and a wall-hung toilet to save floor space. Photo record includes every inspection sign-off, the insulation blower door test, and the final CO. Written price: $67,500. Two change orders: upgraded flooring ($890) and a tankless water heater ($1,400), both signed. Final: $69,790.
