Upland sits in the foothills of the San Gabriels — a historic suburb with a real downtown, tree-lined streets, and housing that ranges from early-1900s bungalows to mid-century ranches to newer infill. Those vintage and mid-century homes are Upland’s charm and its construction challenge: old supply lines, aging drains, additions built over decades by different hands, and HVAC retrofitted (or never retrofitted) into houses that predate central air. Mars Construction Industries Corp handles exactly this mix, backed by 30+ years of hands-on experience. With A, B, C-36, and C-20 licenses in-house, we’re the rare contractor that can correct the structure, repipe the house, and install the air conditioning as one project — with one company accountable.
Construction & Remodeling Services in Upland, CA
In Upland’s older neighborhoods, we lead with diagnostics. A sewer camera inspection reveals what decades have done to the lateral; an evaluation of supply lines and the water heater tells us what’s living on borrowed time. Then we fix it properly: trenchless sewer repair and lining with a 20-year warranty where excavation can be avoided, whole-house repipes to replace corroded galvanized pipe, and water heater replacement. Our A (General Engineering) license covers the structural work older homes often need alongside — foundation repairs, framing corrections, and additions engineered to tie into vintage construction.
Kitchen and bathroom remodels in Upland balance character and modern function. We open up closed kitchens while respecting the home’s bones, install cabinetry and counters built for daily life, and rebuild bathrooms with proper waterproofing — critical in older homes where a slow leak has had years to do damage. Whole-home renovations bring everything current in one coordinated push: systems, finishes, flooring, and paint.
HVAC is a frequent need in foothill homes that never had central air or whose systems are decades old. Our C-20 team designs for the realities of vintage construction — ducted systems where feasible, high-velocity or ductless options where they’re not. We also build additions and ADUs — more than 100 ADUs in four years through our sister brand ADU Cities — and handle commercial tenant improvements along Upland’s commercial corridors.

Why Upland Property Owners Choose Mars
Vintage foothill homes don’t respect trade boundaries — a repipe opens walls that need framing repair, an HVAC install needs duct paths through old structure, a sewer replacement crosses landscaping and concrete. Mars holds four licenses in-house — A General Engineering, B General Building, C-36 Plumbing, C-20 HVAC — under CSLB #1138550, so whatever the house reveals, the same company handles it. No “call a different contractor for that.”
