Ameristar Construction in Bloomington, CA | San Mateo Construction
We provide independent Ameristar construction service across Bloomington, handling everything from cabinet refacing in postwar tract homes to standing-seam metal roofing on the larger Valley Boulevard lots. What makes our Ameristar work here different is that we plan every job around San Bernardino County Land Use Services timelines and the unpermitted-additions reality on Bloomington’s older parcels. Call (855) 901-7266 for a free estimate. We’re a licensed general contractor, not an Ameristar dealer or authorized affiliate.
Why Bloomington Residents Choose Us for Ameristar Service
Most of our Bloomington Ameristar work starts the same way: a homeowner calls because a cabinet run has pulled away from the wall, or a metal roof edge has lifted after a Santa Ana event, and they want to know whether it’s a patch job or a replacement. We’ve pulled apart enough Ameristar builder-grade cabinet boxes and enough Ameristar metal roofing panels to tell you honestly which one it is. Noel Carrington, our owner, grew up pouring concrete with his father and has spent three decades running residential jobs across California. He’ll tell you straight: “Tell me what you actually need, and we’ll figure out the right way to build it.”
We work Bloomington because Bloomington is different. Unincorporated lots, county permits, old stucco and frame construction, generous setbacks that look like ADU opportunities until you check the records. That’s the job. We show up with a plan that accounts for it.

Common Ameristar Construction Problems We Solve in Bloomington
Here’s what we see on Ameristar jobs around Bloomington, and why:
- Cabinet boxes pulling apart at the base. Ameristar’s builder-grade cabinet lines from the Masco Cabinetry era used pressed board and stapled butt joints. Decades of inland-empire heat cycling, especially in unvented or uninsulated additions, swells those joints and the base rails separate from the box. Re-leveling the boxes on a sealed plywood substrate usually solves it, but the old substrate has to go first.
- Door bind and drawer glide failure from slab movement. Bloomington sits on decomposed-granite soils that shift with winter rain. When the slab moves, Ameristar cabinet runs twist out of level, doors bind, glides rack. The cabinet didn’t fail; the ground underneath it did. We fix both, because shimming cabinets on a moving slab just buys you a year.
- Rusted or lifted fasteners on Ameristar metal roofing after wind season. Santa Ana winds rip at panel edges and seam fasteners on the older Valley Boulevard and farm-road-grid properties. We find lifted fasteners and rust at the edges after a wind season, not a tear-off. Matching Ameristar panels where we can, and replacing the failing sections where we can’t, keeps the roof structurally sound.
- Rotting back panels on cabinets installed in unpermitted garage or shop conversions. A cabinet hung against an uninsulated, unsealed wall with no moisture barrier rots from the back forward. The face might look fine; the back panel is gone. We see this constantly on older Bloomington lots with owner-built add-ons.
- Water tracking behind metal roof penetrations. The crack-prone stucco-and-drywall envelope around roof penetrations lets water track behind the metal after winter rain. You’ll see staining on the ceiling inside before you see anything wrong on the roof. We chase that water path back to the source and correct the underlayment, not just the cosmetic stain.
Ameristar Service in Bloomington: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Bloomington is unincorporated San Bernardino County. Every Ameristar cabinet job, addition, or roofing permit runs through San Bernardino County Land Use Services rather than a city building department. That’s not a minor detail. It changes the whole sequencing of a project. On the larger lots off Valley Boulevard and the old farm-road grid, the county records check frequently turns up a back garage, carport, or shop that was never permitted. Before we can file for a new addition or ADU, that unpermitted structure has to be cleared, corrected, or legalized. Contractors who bid Bloomington jobs like a neighboring Fontana or Rialto city project get surprised by this; we don’t. Our crew once opened a full kitchen remodel on a Valley Boulevard lot and found the back garage had been converted to living space with no county permit. So before we set a single Ameristar cabinet box, we pulled the county records, corrected the unpermitted framing and stucco, re-leveled the slab-shifted floor, and only then hung the cabinet run on a sealed plywood substrate. The job ran on county inspection timelines, not a city counter’s, and it passed because we planned for that from the bid. That’s the Bloomington difference in one paragraph.
Ameristar Models & Products We Service in Bloomington
We service Ameristar’s builder-grade cabinet lines from the Masco Cabinetry era; oak, maple, and painted finishes common in Bloomington’s postwar and mid-century tract homes. We also service Ameristar metal roofing panels, standing-seam systems, and their shingle and tile roofing underlayment and accessory lines. On cabinets, we source OEM Ameristar replacement doors, drawers, hinges, and glides when the box is still solid. When the substrate is swelling or rotted, we specify a quality aftermarket box or a full plywood replacement. Refacing is honest on a solid 1970s frame; it’s wasteful on a water-damaged pressed-board carcass. On roofing, we match Ameristar panels and underlayment where the stock is available, and we won’t patch a failing system to buy one more season.

FAQs – Ameristar Construction in Bloomington
Because Bloomington is unincorporated, any scope of work over the simple repair threshold goes through San Bernardino County Land Use Services, and they’ll want to know what’s already on the parcel. If an old back garage or shop was converted without permits, that’s a correction item before the new work can be signed off. We run the records check at the front of the job so nothing stalls at inspection. Call (855) 901-7266 and we’ll pull the records for your lot before you commit to anything.
Usually both. On Bloomington’s decomposed-granite soils, a shifting slab racks the cabinet run out of level, and doors bind because the box itself is twisted. The Ameristar box may still be sound, but it has to be shimmed, leveled, and sometimes anchored to a new plywood substrate to hold alignment. We’ll level what can be leveled and replace what can’t. For an exact read on your cabinets, call (855) 901-7266 for a free estimate.
Ameristar metal panels hold up well when the fastener schedule and seam details are right. What fails first in Bloomington’s wind events is the edge fastening and the penetrations; lifted fasteners and rusted seam edges are the typical failure mode, not the panel itself. We match Ameristar panels where we can and replace edge sections where we can’t, so you aren’t paying for a full tear-off when the system’s core is still serviceable. Call (855) 901-7266 and we’ll walk the roof and tell you exactly what’s there.
Yes, but it’s a sequencing problem. The county won’t issue for new square footage while an unpermitted structure sits on the parcel. We correct or legalize the old garage first, then file for the ADU or addition. On Valley Boulevard lots especially, this is the normal path, not the exception, much like our Ameristar repair in Pedley work. We’ve done it, and we quote it from the start so there’s no surprise at inspection. Call (855) 901-7266 to talk through your specific lot.
No. San Mateo Construction is an independent, licensed general contractor. We are not an Ameristar dealer, factory-authorized service center, or manufacturer affiliate. What we are is experienced with the actual Ameristar product lines found across Bloomington’s housing stock, and honest about when a repair makes sense and when it doesn’t.
