Rialto is a working-class Inland Empire city where a dollar still has to stretch — and where the housing stock is honest about its age. Many Rialto homes date to the postwar and mid-century building waves, and after fifty or sixty years, the systems inside those walls are telling the truth: galvanized supply lines that have narrowed to a trickle, cast-iron drains with decades of buildup, water heaters on borrowed time, and electrical-era plumbing that predates modern code. Hiring a general contractor here isn’t about luxury finishes first. It’s about finding one licensed team that can fix what’s failing behind the walls and make the house genuinely better — without handing you a stack of invoices from four different companies.
Construction & Remodeling Services in Rialto, CA
In older Rialto homes, the smartest money usually goes into infrastructure before cosmetics. We start a lot of projects here with a camera inspection of the sewer lateral and a look at the water supply lines, because a beautiful kitchen remodel means nothing if the drain under the slab is collapsing. When we find problems, we fix them with the right method for the situation: hydro jetting to clear heavy buildup, trenchless sewer repair or lining to replace a failed lateral without tearing up the yard — our sewer lining carries a 20-year warranty — and full or partial repipes to replace corroded galvanized pipe with modern materials.
Once the bones are sound, Rialto homeowners tend to want practical, durable upgrades: kitchens with real storage and counters that can take daily use, bathrooms with reliable fixtures and proper waterproofing, and whole-home renovations that bring a 1960s floor plan into the present. Because we hold our B, C-36, and C-20 licenses in-house, a single Mars crew handles the framing, the plumbing rough-in, and the HVAC — no subcontractor relay race, no finger-pointing when the schedule slips.
We also do a steady volume of ADUs in the Inland Empire. Rialto’s larger older lots are often good candidates for a detached unit or garage conversion, and through our sister brand ADU Cities we’ve built more than 100 ADUs in the last four years. And for local businesses along Foothill Boulevard and the commercial corridors, we handle tenant improvements and commercial plumbing and HVAC work with the same single-point accountability.

Why Rialto Property Owners Choose Mars
Older homes punish contractors who only know one trade. A repipe touches drywall, a sewer replacement touches concrete and landscaping, an HVAC changeout touches ductwork and electrical coordination. Mars holds four CSLB licenses in-house — A General Engineering, B General Building, C-36 Plumbing, C-20 HVAC — so the crew that opens the wall is the same company that repairs it, runs the new pipe, and patches everything back. One accountable team, start to finish.
Mars Construction Industries Corp brings 30+ years of hands-on experience to every project. We are licensed, bonded, and insured, CSLB #1138550, with SB-PW and SB(Micro) small-business certifications. When something goes wrong at 9 PM, our sister brand 911 Drain Lines answers at 714.746.7611 — 24/7 drain and plumbing emergency service.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are you a licensed contractor?
Yes. Mars Construction Industries Corp is CSLB #1138550, holding A (General Engineering), B (General Building), C-36 (Plumbing), and C-20 (HVAC). We are licensed, bonded, and insured, with SB-PW and SB(Micro) certifications.
My home is 50+ years old. Where should I start?
With the systems you can’t see. We typically recommend a sewer camera inspection and an evaluation of your supply lines and water heater before spending on cosmetic remodeling. Fixing infrastructure first protects every dollar you put into finishes.
Which trades do you keep in-house?
General construction, plumbing, drain and sewer, and HVAC — all under our own licenses. Work outside those classifications, such as electrical contracting, is handled by licensed specialty subcontractors we bring in and manage.
Do you offer trenchless sewer repair?
Yes. Where the existing line allows it, trenchless repair or lining replaces a failing sewer lateral without major excavation, and our lining work carries a 20-year warranty.
Do you handle plumbing emergencies?
Yes. 911 Drain Lines, our sister brand, provides 24/7 drain and plumbing emergency service at 714.746.7611.
Can you build an ADU on an older lot?
In many cases, yes. Through ADU Cities we’ve built more than 100 ADUs in four years — detached units, garage conversions, and attached additions — and we evaluate each property individually for feasibility.
