About Straight Edge Builders
Our Story
Straight Edge Builders is a top-rated, local General Corporation. We are licensed (#1075936) and based in Redlands, CA.
We started over five years ago. We have grown from small beginnings into a top full-service remodeler in the Inland Empire community.
The company was founded on a simple, essential principle: that quality craftsmanship must be delivered with unwavering integrity and transparent communication.
Our journey started with founders Mitch and Dustin. They are two dedicated professionals. They want to solve the biggest problems homeowners have when hiring contractors.
These problems are unreliability and poor communication. We evolved by replacing those common industry pitfalls with guaranteed punctuality, daily site presence, and honest budgeting.
Today, we continue to prove that building lasting relationships is just as important as building beautiful homes.
