AfterFast, Reliable General Contractor Across Hemet
Most Hemet homeowners call us after a contractor has already let them down once. Maybe the price changed after demo day. Maybe the crew stopped answering. Maybe the tile cracked six weeks after the final check cleared. We do things differently at Penhallow Remodeling. We write the price down before a single cabinet is pulled, we give you a real arrival window, and every project carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. Trevor Nash leads our team, and he’d rather explain something twice than have you guess. Call (936) 259-2607 and you’ll get a person, not a voicemail.
Why Penhallow Remodeling Is Hemet’s Preferred General Contractor Company
We know Hemet’s homes because we open them up. When walls come down in a 1970s tract house off Sanderson Avenue, we expect aluminum branch wiring. When we work near Sun City Hemet, we check for HUD-code manufactured home framing before we quote anything. That local knowledge keeps your number honest from day one.
Our General Contractor team operates under the Kingswell standard, which has guided every job since 2004. That means a written price before work starts, a clean job site every evening, and a written guarantee on every project. If something fails inside the guarantee period, we come back and fix it at no charge. A real person answers our phone 24/7, and every technician who walks through your door is background-checked and in uniform.
Hemet homeowners regularly tell us the same thing: the crew showed up when they said they would, and the invoice matched the estimate. That’s not a slogan. It’s what the written contract is for.
General Contractor Services in Hemet
General Contractor Services in Hemet cover the full scope of a remodel, from first inspection through final paint. A Hemet homeowner needs us when the project touches structure, plumbing, electrical, or permits. That’s most kitchens, every bathroom, and any addition or garage conversion. In Hemet, a bathroom remodel runs $9,000 – $28,000, a kitchen remodel $14,000 – $45,000, and a home addition $45,000 – $130,000. We name the price before we start, and we name it in writing.
Kitchen and Bathroom Remodels
We pull permits, manage subs, and stand behind the work for a year after the final walkthrough. We install KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, Cambria and Silestone countertops, and Kohler and Moen fixtures. The products matter because they carry their own warranties alongside ours.
Whole Home Remodels and Additions
When a Hemet family needs more square footage, we handle the structural engineering, foundation work, and interior build-out. In the Sun City Hemet neighborhoods especially, additions often involve HUD-code tie-down upgrades and non-standard roof framing. We plan for that before we quote, not after.

Construction Company in Hemet
As a Construction Company serving Hemet, we handle the structural and code-driven side of residential work, the stuff that separates a safe job from a fast one. Hemet’s building stock is older, and the San Jacinto fault runs through the valley floor. That combination means seismic strapping, shear-wall corrections, and foundation reinforcement come up on projects here more than almost anywhere else in Riverside County.
Structural and Foundation Work
East of Florida Avenue, we default to post-tension slabs or deepened grade beams. The expansive clay under Hemet swells in winter and shrinks in summer. A standard monolithic pour on that soil cracks within a few years. We’d rather spend a little more on the foundation than come back for buckled tile and sticking doors.
Garage Conversions and Room Additions
A garage conversion in Hemet runs $30,000 – $80,000, and a full addition $45,000 – $130,000. Both trigger code upgrades in older homes. We write allowances into the contract for GFCI/AFCI protection, egress windows, and framing corrections. You see the allowance before you sign, and any change order is approved in writing before we touch it.
Trusted Brands We Service in Hemet
We stock and install materials from brands that stand behind their products the way we stand behind our work. For deck construction, we use Sakrete concrete mixes for footings and post bases that hold up under Hemet’s freeze-thaw winter cycles and 108°F summer heat. In whole-home remodels, we’ve worked with Dvele and Cover for panelized build packages, and Abodu for ADU construction in Hemet backyards. When you call us, we can usually tell you over the phone whether a specific brand is available locally and how long it’ll take to get it. That saves you a second trip and a second quote.
Common General Contractor Problems We See in Hemet Homes
- Aluminum branch wiring from the 1970s and 1980s. It’s common in Hemet tract homes, and it hides behind walls until demo day. We inspect for it first and price the panel upgrade or circuit replacement before we open the wall all the way.
- Failed waterproofing in original showers. We tore a tub surround out of a 1978 stick-built home near Sun City Hemet and found the original shower pan leaking into the subfloor for years. The flange sat below the slab and the waterproofing had failed completely. We flagged it at inspection, priced the repair as a written change order, and poured the new mud pan over a properly bonded membrane.
- Slab heaving and cracked flatwork on expansive clay. The valley floor east of Florida Avenue moves. We default to post-tension slabs and deepened grade beams because we’ve seen what a standard pour does here within three seasons.
- HUD-code manufactured home complications. Hemet’s density of 55-plus communities means non-standard roof pitches, tie-down requirements, and carport-to-garage conversions. A contractor who only works stick-built homes in Temecula will get lost here. We won’t.

FAQs About General Contractor in Hemet
We inspect before we quote, and we write allowances into the contract for the upgrades an older Hemet home will likely need once walls are open. If we find something outside the allowance, we show you, explain it, and put a written change order in front of you before we touch anything else. The number is approved by you first. Call (936) 259-2607 to talk through what your house might be hiding.
Yes, and we plan for it. A permit on a 1970s or 1980s Hemet tract home often requires new GFCI/AFCI protection, egress corrections, and framing fixes that the original build never had. We write those allowances into the contract up front. You’ll see the line items before you sign, not after demo day. Call (936) 259-2607 for a free estimate.
Because the expansive clay under the Hemet valley floor swells with winter rain and shrinks through the dry season. That movement cracks standard monolithic slabs within a few years.

Call (936) 259-2607 and we’ll explain the soil report for your specific lot.
Yes. We work on HUD-code manufactured homes throughout Sun City Hemet and the surrounding 55-plus communities.

Call (936) 259-2607 for a free estimate.
We start with an inspection, not a visual walkthrough. We build allowances into the contract for the code upgrades and hidden damage common in older Hemet homes.
