Remodeling Company in Orange, CA
Home renovation in Orange means working on two very different kinds of houses: the 1900-1930s Craftsman bungalows and Spanish Colonial homes inside Old Towne’s preservation overlay, and the 1950s-70s tract homes that fill the rest of the city. Ashbury Contractors has served Orange since 2014, and we plan every project around the permit path it will actually face, whether that’s a design-review hold on a street-visible exterior change or a mid-century home that needs re-piping and reroofing in the same year. Call (833) 467-4091 for a free estimate on any scope, from a single kitchen to a whole-property renovation.
Why Orange Homes Are Different
The Old Towne Orange Historic District around the Plaza is one of the largest in California, and that changes how construction works here. A pre-1940 Craftsman or Spanish Colonial Revival home will typically have horsehair plaster over wood lath, original clay sewer laterals, and knob-and-tube wiring still active in parts of the house. Any exterior change visible from the street can trigger a preservation design-review hold, which means the permit sequence has to be thought through before the first wall is opened. Contractors who treat Orange like Anaheim or Santa Ana get projects stalled at plan check.
Outside the historic core, the city is mostly 1950s and 1960s tract housing with later infill mixed in. Those homes have their own predictable issues: galvanized supply lines that corrode from the inside, original composition shingle roofs at or past their service life, and slab foundations that were poured without the moisture barriers standard today. Orange sits on the semi-arid Santa Ana coastal plain, so exterior work has to handle long dry spells, hot afternoon sun, and Santa Ana wind events. At the eastern edges near Santiago Canyon, we also factor in wildfire-ember hardening for roofing, vents, and soffits.

Our Main Orange Services
Most Orange homeowners come to us through one of two doors: they need a general contractor to run a multi-trade project from start to finish, or they’re planning a specific remodel. Both sit under the same Ashbury roof.
General Contractor in Orange
Orange projects routinely cross trade lines: a kitchen remodel in an Old Towne Craftsman might hit knob-and-tube wiring, a cast-iron drain stack, and a floor that needs structural leveling before cabinets go in. A tract home addition could mean reroofing the existing structure so the new roof ties in cleanly. As the single accountable contractor, we sequence permits, trades, and inspections so the project moves without you coordinating three separate crews. See the full scope on our General Contractor in Orange page.
Home Remodeling in Orange
Remodeling in Orange spans two worlds: restoring and updating historic homes without losing the character that makes Old Towne what it is, and modernizing mid-century tract homes where original layouts and systems have aged out. We specify the product before we quote the price, so a Cambria quartz countertop, a Kohler fixture set, or a GAF roofing system is named in the estimate, not left vague. Details and local examples are on our Home Remodeling in Orange page.

Home Renovation in Orange
Home renovation in Orange almost always starts with the house’s era. In Old Towne, we’re opening walls behind horsehair plaster and finding knob-and-tube wiring that has to be decommissioned before insulation goes in. In the 1950s-70s tract neighborhoods, we’re often replacing galvanized supply lines, original sewer laterals, and worn-out roofing as part of one coordinated scope. The Santa Ana sun and wind cycles mean exterior materials get specified for UV and heat cycling, not just appearance. Our Home Renovation process covers the full property, from the foundation to the fence line, under one contract.
Home Renovation Contractors
Signs you need it
Multiple systems aging out at once: cracking plaster, low water pressure from corroded galvanized lines, a roof near the end of its service life, and rooms that no longer fit how your family lives.
What it costs in Orange
A full home renovation in Orange typically falls between $45,000 for a phased single-level update and $130,000 for a whole-home scope that includes structural, systems, and finish work.
How we do it
We start with the permit path (including historic review where it applies), open walls to assess structure and wiring, replace systems in the right order, then close up with finishes specified by brand and budget.
Home Renovation Companies
Signs you need it
You’re trying to coordinate a plumber, an electrician, a roofer, and a cabinet installer separately, and the schedule keeps slipping because no single party owns the sequence.
What it costs in Orange
Renovation work in Orange ranges from $9,000 for a small kitchen refresh up to $28,000 for a full bathroom remodel, with whole-home scopes reaching $130,000.
How we do it
One contract, one point of contact, one warranty conversation; we organize trades around your project’s critical path instead of each crew working to their own calendar.
What Home Renovation Costs in Orange

| Kitchen Remodel | $14,000 – $45,000 |
| Bathroom Remodel | $9,000 – $28,000 |
How long does a home renovation take in Orange?
A kitchen or bathroom remodel usually runs 6-10 weeks. A whole-home renovation in an Old Towne historic home can take 4-6 months because the preservation review adds time to the front end. Call (833) 467-4091 for a schedule based on your actual scope.
Will the price change once work starts?
Our estimates are line-item and fixed. If we open a wall and find hidden knob-and-tube or a failed clay sewer lateral, we document it and price the change order before proceeding, never after. Call (833) 467-4091 for a written quote.

Every quote is a line-item written price, fixed before work starts, with no change orders unless you approve them in writing.

FAQs About Remodeling Company in Orange
If your home is inside the Old Towne Orange Historic District and the work changes anything visible from the street, yes, you’ll likely go through design review. Interior-only work usually doesn’t trigger it. We sequence permits early so a review hold doesn’t stall the rest of the project.
Most Orange projects can start within 2-4 weeks of contract signing, depending on permit processing time. Old Towne projects with historic review typically add 2-6 weeks to that front end. Call (833) 467-4091 and we’ll give you a realistic start window for your scope.
Yes. We pull all required city of Orange building permits, handle the historic-preservation review where it applies, and schedule every inspection through final sign-off. The permit package is part of your contracted scope, not an extra step you handle on your own.
