Luxury Remodeling in Ontario

George and William B. Chaffey founded Ontario in 1882 as an irrigation colony, and its backbone was Euclid Avenue, a boulevard of twin roadways divided by a central mall that rises on a long, easy incline from the Southern Pacific tracks toward the mouth of San Antonio Canyon. The older city holds eight designated historic districts, where Craftsman bungalows stand near Mediterranean, Tudor and Victorian houses. To the south, the 13-square-mile Ontario Ranch occupies land the city annexed in 1999 from the former San Bernardino County Agricultural Preserve, where dairy farms had shaped the landscape since the early 1900s and are now giving way to master-planned neighborhoods. Beneath most of the city lies alluvial sand that the Safety Element treats as a wind-related hazard, so a backyard plan here weighs historic review, dust and wind during excavation, and exactly where a pool, its barrier fence and an ADU may sit on the lot.

Two eras share the city: the Chaffey brothers' original subdivision pattern, still intact around the historic downtown and Euclid Avenue, with early tracts such as College Park, subdivided into 48 lots in 1914, and Armsley Square, laid out in 1924, and Ontario Ranch to the south, where former dairy properties are being converted to master-planned neighborhoods. Development Code Table 6.01-1 sets the minimum traditional single-family lot at 18,000 square feet in the AR-2 district, 10,000 in RE-2 and RE-4, and 7,200 in LDR-5.

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