Separated by a 21-minute drive, Moreno Valley and San Bernardino have a lot of similarities. These East Los Angeles cities both have a population of over 210,000, both feature a majority of single-family type homes, and they are both highly connected to their natural surroundings.

With the right contractor, you can pair your new home with the beauty of Moreno Valley’s lakes or the grandeur of  San Bernardino’s mountains. Our editorial team has generated a list of the best general contractors that provide services to both cities. Our list is based on a careful review of each firm’s awards, work history, performance, and client reviews.

 

Omni Builders

P O BOX 9842, Redlands, CA 92375

Omni Builders is a general contractor committed to advocacy and client relationships. Omni, of course, means “all,” which reflects the company’s all-encompassing services. The firm covers pre-construction, construction management, design-build, and a number of other general contracting services. This 40-year old company serves 19 areas across the greater Los Angeles area and Inland Empire. The firm sits among the top 22 percent of almost 337, 000 licensed contractors in California.

The company is a certified LEED associate by the U.S. Green Building Council (USBGC). This makes it one of the few builders in the area that advocates the use and implementation of green building practices: it develops durable, energy-efficient, low maintenance, and cost-effective projects. 

Omni Builders also has its own in-house department. Clients get to save up to 15 to 35 percent of contracting fees due to its open book cost plus policy. The department also makes it easy for clients to track and control their costs from start to finish and increases their knowledge of what is happening when, and why. 

Flanigan Construction

745 East Stuart Avenue, Redlands, CA 92374

When it comes to building and renovating homes, Flanigan Construction values the importance of teamwork. The company started with Dan Flanigan’s vision of building quality projects and strong client relationships. Now a father-and-son tandem, Danny Flanigan brings new ideas to the 25-year-old company his father started. The two maintain a team of craftsmen who had been with the company since the start. The firm is now one of the top licensed contractors in California. 

Flanigan Construction provides general contracting, residential remodeling, construction management, design-build, and custom homes. It also specializes in tenant improvements including renovating and redesigning offices. The team is also active in communicating status updates before the project begins, while it is in progress, and continues to keep in touch after the project is completed.

Flanigan’s projects are built upon a combination of craftsmanship, architecture, and technology. The company features a negotiated team concept where it organizes all the professionals required all throughout the project: Flanigan Construction is well versed in negotiating with subcontractors. It is also experienced when it comes to collaborating with architectural and engineering teams.

RBC Construction

871 W 4th St Unit A, Beaumont, CA 92223

RBC Construction’s President and CEO, Ron Bierma, knows the hard labor of construction. Ron was only eight when he started pushing wheelbarrows. He learned demolishing, cleaning, framing, and siding while working for his dad. He also worked for grading and underground pipeline companies, where he operated bulldozers installing sewers. This full-range of experience became Ron’s edge over single-trade contractors.

The firm specializes in commercial and residential remodeling. It is adept at providing full-service home renovations such as adding rooms and outdoor spaces, remodeling kitchens and bathrooms, and updating design features. A perfect example of its work is this home in Palm Springs. Situated by a golf course, the company turned it into a relaxing leisure home for a retiring couple. The residence now features a billiard room converted from a dining room. It also features an additional indoor/outdoor bar with large stacked windows and a new kitchen with modern light fixtures and radiant windows.

Crestwood Construction

700 E Redlands Blvd U171, Redlands, CA 92373

Learning from his father’s construction business, Dan Gruner initially started Crestwood Construction to pay for his schooling. In return, he used his Business and Finance degree to expand the company. Over time, he found a passion for the craft and continued to develop it into a highly reliable and recognized home building company. This family-owned business now has 19 years of experience in residential construction and remodeling. Having served clients for more than a decade the company trusts its projects to speak for themselves. It relies on client referrals more than any other advertisement and for that, it gets 75 percent of its projects from word of mouth alone.

The company attracts clients by offering affordable prices since they perform trade work in-house. As a result, the crew also has more control over the timing and quality of the project. Aside from residential remodeling and commercial improvements, Crestwood also specializes in lender required repairs. It is a go-to contractor for real estate agents when it comes to repair and rehabilitation.

UMC2 Construction
