Remodeling for San Dimas homes, from kitchens and baths to ADUs and retaining walls, planned around the city's own permit rules.
General Contractor help in San Dimas
Builders is a residential general contractor based in Corona that serves San Dimas homeowners. The median San Dimas home was built in 1976, and nearly half the city's houses went up between 1960 and 1979 (ACS 2024 5-year). Kitchens and baths that age are often on a second or third remodel. Our kitchen remodel estimates scope old galvanized or cast iron drain lines, undersized electrical panels, and GFCI and AFCI upgrades up front.
Most San Dimas lots can legally add an ADU. About 62 percent of the city's 12,370 housing units, 7,620 homes, are single-family detached (ACS table B25024), the parcels eligible for one ADU plus one junior ADU (JADU). We draw San Dimas ADU plans to the city's 2025 rules before submittal, including the soils report, the solar array on new detached units, and the electrical load math.
San Dimas issues its own permits through the Building and Safety Division at 245 E Bonita Ave, not LA County. Any wall that holds back a slope needs a permit at any height, so our hardscape and wall bids carry a city permit line. In the SF-H Hillside Zone, cuts and fills are capped at 12 feet from toe to top at a 2:1 slope limit, so big grade changes become stepped retaining walls.
The median owner-occupied home in San Dimas is worth $801,800 (ACS 2024 5-year). At that value, a permitted ADU adds rentable square footage, and updated kitchens, baths, paint, and hardscape hold resale value. Tell us about your San Dimas project and get a free estimate.

Where can I find a remodeling contractor near me in San Dimas?
Builders serves San Dimas homeowners from our base in Corona. We handle kitchen and bathroom remodels, ADU construction, hardscape, retaining walls, and interior and exterior painting. Call for a free estimate on your San Dimas project, and we will walk the job, check the city's permit rules, and give you a clear scope and price.
Do I need a permit for a retaining wall in San Dimas?
Yes, in most cases. San Dimas requires a permit for any retaining wall that supports a slope, at any height. A wall that is level on both sides needs one above 2 feet 10 inches, and fences or walls over 6 feet need one too. Permits go through the San Dimas Building and Safety Division at 245 E Bonita Ave.
How big can an ADU be in San Dimas?
San Dimas caps ADUs at 1,000 square feet. The city's 2025 ADU Requirements handout also asks for a minimum 4 foot setback at the sides and rear, architectural features that match the style of the main house, and washer and dryer hookups inside the unit. A stock plan that skips these items gets kicked back at plan check.
What does San Dimas require before it will issue an ADU permit?
Four items stall many ADU permits in San Dimas. The city's 2025 handout requires a soils report from a California licensed geotechnical engineer covering the ADU footprint plus 5 feet beyond it, solar panels on new detached units per the California Energy Code, a minimum 100 amp electrical panel with a load calculation for both dwellings, and LA County Fire Department fire flow approval.
Is it worth remodeling a 1970s house in San Dimas?
Usually, yes. Nearly half of San Dimas housing went up between 1960 and 1979, so a dated kitchen or bath is normal here, not a red flag. The key is an honest scope: homes that age often need drain, panel, and code updates during the work. When those are priced up front, the remodel stays on budget and the finished home competes well at resale.
