La Cañada Flintridge sits against the San Gabriel foothills — a community of substantial homes on generous lots, many of them mid-century or custom builds that have been updated (or not) over the decades. With JPL nearby and top-rated schools, it’s a place where homeowners invest seriously in their properties and expect craftsmanship to match.
High-end foothill projects are exactly where a multi-trade contractor proves its worth. A whole-home renovation here can mean structural reconfiguration, a complete repipe, and a zoned HVAC system for a much larger footprint — three trades that have to move in sequence. Mars Construction Industries Corp holds four CSLB classifications in-house — A (General Engineering), B (General Building), C-36 (Plumbing), and C-20 (HVAC) — so that sequence is managed by one team, on one schedule, with one point of accountability.
Construction & Remodeling Services in La Cañada Flintridge, CA
Our work in La Cañada Flintridge centers on whole-home renovations, major additions, and high-finish kitchen and primary suite remodels. Many of the city’s mid-century homes are ready for complete mechanical renewal behind the walls — repipes, sewer lateral replacement, and modern zoned HVAC — and we handle all of it with our own licensed crews rather than stacking subcontractors.
Foothill living adds its own considerations: larger homes need properly zoned heating and cooling to stay comfortable efficiently, and properties with significant grading benefit from drainage and plumbing planned with the terrain in mind. Our A (General Engineering) classification covers the structural and site-work side, so retaining, drainage, and foundation-adjacent work stays in-house too.
For families adding space for relatives or staff, our sister brand ADU Cities has delivered more than 100 accessory dwelling units in four years — detached guest houses and conversions built start to finish. And through 911 Drain Lines, we camera-inspect and trenchlessly repair sewer lines, with a 20-year warranty on lining.

Why La Cañada Flintridge Property Owners Choose Mars
Foothill estate projects punish disorganization. Here’s why La Cañada Flintridge homeowners hand the whole scope to one team:
Mars Construction Industries Corp is a general contractor backed by 30+ years of hands-on experience, based in Orange, California. We are licensed, bonded, and insured, holding four CSLB classifications in-house under license #1138550: A (General Engineering), B (General Building), C-36 (Plumbing), and C-20 (HVAC). We are also SB-PW and SB(Micro) certified.
That means one accountable team. Most projects cross trades, and that is where jobs stall — the plumber blames the framer, and you are left managing people who do not work for you. With Mars, the general contractor, the plumbing crew, and the HVAC crew are the same company: one estimate, one schedule, one phone number, and no gaps between trades.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Mars Construction Industries Corp licensed for this work?
Yes. We operate under CSLB license #1138550 with four classifications in-house: A (General Engineering), B (General Building), C-36 (Plumbing), and C-20 (HVAC). We are licensed, bonded, and insured, and we hold SB-PW and SB(Micro) small-business certifications. You can verify any contractor’s license status through the Contractors State License Board before you sign anything — and you should.
Our home is large with an older HVAC system. Can you zone it properly?
Yes. Larger foothill homes usually need zoned systems to heat and cool efficiently — no more freezing bedrooms and sweltering living rooms. Our C-20 HVAC crews design and install zoned systems as part of renovations or as standalone replacements, coordinated with any structural or plumbing work in the same project.
Do you handle the structural side of hillside-adjacent projects?
Our A (General Engineering) classification covers structural and site work, so retaining, drainage improvements, and foundation-adjacent construction stay with our own team and our own accountability — not a separate contractor you have to coordinate.
Do you subcontract everything out?
No. We self-perform across our four licensed classifications — general construction, plumbing, drain and sewer, and HVAC — which covers the bulk of most residential and commercial projects. For work outside our classifications, such as electrical, we coordinate properly licensed subcontractors and stay accountable for their work as your general contractor. You still deal with one team.
