Redlands is the Inland Empire’s historic treasure — citrus-era Victorians and Craftsmans on landmark streets, a classic downtown, and a university that keeps the city culturally alive. Restoring a 100-year-old home is a different craft from remodeling a tract house: the systems are antique, the materials deserve respect, and the work has to honor what made the house worth saving.
Historic homes are the ultimate multi-trade project. The beautiful 1920s bathroom sits above galvanized pipes and a cast-iron lateral that have given all they have; the addition needs structural sensitivity and modern HVAC that does not fight the architecture. With A, B, C-36, and C-20 licenses in-house, we renew the working heart of a historic Redlands home while our remodelers protect its character — one team accountable for both.
Construction & Remodeling Services in Redlands, CA
We start historic projects where they need to start: underground and inside the walls. Our C-36 plumbers perform whole-home repipes that retire century-old supply systems; our 911 Drain Lines crews camera original sewer laterals, hydro jet decades of buildup, and rehabilitate failing lines trenchlessly with a 20-year warranty — preserving landscaping and hardscaping that took generations to mature.
Then comes the visible craft: kitchens and bathrooms remodeled with period sensitivity and modern function, additions designed to read as original to the house, and ADUs — including carriage-house-style units — that suit historic lots. Our C-20 team installs HVAC engineered for older homes: even comfort without gutting plaster walls or compromising the architecture. We also serve Redlands’ downtown and university-adjacent commercial corridors with tenant improvements and multi-trade renovations.

Why Redlands 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.

Which trades do you handle in-house?
General construction and remodeling, plumbing, drain and sewer, and HVAC — all under our own CSLB licenses, so one team is accountable for the whole job.

Can you build an ADU on my property?
In many cases, yes. Through our sister brand ADU Cities, we have built more than 100 ADUs in the last four years, so we know how to evaluate a lot, design to the space, and build it right.

Yes. We handle commercial and tenant improvement projects — office and retail buildouts, restaurant plumbing, and multi-trade renovations — with the same single-point accountability we bring to residential work.
