Luxury Remodeling in Claremont

Claremont's General Plan defines more than thirty distinct neighborhoods, from college campuses to foothill subdivisions, and the city's Architectural Design Guidelines describe many of them one by one. Historic Claremont, the oldest, sits south of Foothill Boulevard beside Pomona College and the Village, with homes built between the 1890s and the 1940s on a street grid where many garages are reached from alleys behind the houses. North of the 210 Freeway the pattern loosens into winding streets and larger lots, and above them the Claremont Hills Wilderness Park, established in 1997, has grown past 2,500 acres of protected hillside. That northern edge is also where the General Plan places the city's greatest fire hazard. In every district, new construction and site changes pass through design review, so a pool, a garden wall or a patio cover is judged on how it sits among its neighbors as well as how it lives.

Claremont's RS single-family districts set minimum lots of 8,000, 10,000, 13,000 or 20,000 square feet and cap lot coverage at 30 to 40 percent by district; covered patios and decks count toward that cap, as do uncovered decks more than three feet above grade, while pools and uncovered patios do not. In Historic Claremont, blocks often pair large corner houses with smaller homes and many lots carry guest houses or accessory dwelling units, while North and Northeast Claremont were laid out with winding streets, cul-de-sacs and larger lots with very deep setbacks.

One team designs, permits and builds every project, and our own crews self-perform the work, so the people who plan your Claremont project are the people on site building it.
