Desert Hot Springs is a city of two eras: mid-century spa-era homes with real architectural character, and newer desert builds going up to meet demand. Both share the same unforgiving climate — summer heat that punishes air conditioners, hard mineral-rich water that chews through plumbing, and sun that ages everything it touches. Building and remodeling here takes a contractor who plans for the desert instead of fighting it.
That is where a multi-license GC earns its keep. A mid-century restoration in Desert Hot Springs is not just cosmetic — it is new plumbing behind the vintage tile, an HVAC system actually sized for 115-degree afternoons, and a sewer lateral checked before you invest in the rest. One accountable team holding the A, B, C-36, and C-20 licenses means the pretty parts and the working parts get done together, in the right order.
Construction & Remodeling Services in Desert Hot Springs, CA
Air conditioning is not a luxury in Desert Hot Springs — it is life support for the house. We install and replace complete HVAC systems engineered for desert heat loads, and we repair systems that other companies give up on mid-summer. Because we are C-20 licensed in-house, your cooling project never waits on a subcontractor’s schedule.
For the city’s mid-century homes, we do sensitive kitchen and bath remodels that respect the era while replacing what time destroyed: corroded supply lines, failing water heaters, and cast-iron drains attacked by mineral-heavy water. Our 911 Drain Lines crews camera sewer lines, hydro jet buildup, and perform trenchless repairs backed by a 20-year lining warranty. We also build ADUs — a natural fit in a spa town where a well-built casita can serve family or generate rental income — and handle commercial and tenant improvement work for the hospitality businesses that keep the local economy moving.

Why Desert Hot Springs Property Owners Choose Mars
Most construction projects fall apart in the gaps between trades. The general contractor blames the plumber, the plumber blames the HVAC tech, and the homeowner is left playing referee. Mars Construction Industries Corp was built to eliminate that problem. We have been a licensed general contractor in Southern California backed by 30+ years of hands-on experience, and we hold four CSLB licenses in-house: A General Engineering, B General Building, C-36 Plumbing, and C-20 HVAC — CSLB #1138550.
That means one accountable team from the first walkthrough to the final punch list. When your project needs a repipe, a new sewer lateral, and an HVAC changeout in the same week, you make one call and we sequence all of it. No finger-pointing, no scheduling gaps, no “that’s not my trade.”
We are licensed, bonded, and insured, and we carry SB-PW and SB(Micro) small business certifications. Our family of brands — 911 Drain Lines for drain and sewer work, ADU Cities for accessory dwelling units, Get Your Roof Certified, and Universal Inspect for property inspections — means the same company you trust with your remodel can also camera your sewer line, build your ADU, or inspect a property before you buy it.
