Bloomington sits between Rialto and Fontana, and most of what we get called out for there is the same short list: a shower valve that won't shut off, tile grout that's gone dark and crumbly, a patch of hardwood buckling near a slider door, or a roof that dripped through a bedroom ceiling in the last winter storm. Ken Independent Home Solutions is run by Kendrick Drysdale, and Bloomington is a few minutes from home base.
A lot of Bloomington's housing stock is single-story slab-on-grade homes from the 1950s through the 1970s, plus newer tract builds on the Fontana side. On the older ones we spend a lot of time on galvanized supply lines, cast-iron drain stubs, original single-pane-era bathrooms with mud-set tile, and hardwood or laminate laid straight over concrete without a proper moisture barrier. Knowing what's likely behind the wall before we open it keeps the estimate honest and the job short.
Nine trades, one crew in Bloomington
Rather than juggling a plumber, a tile setter and a painter on three separate schedules, you get one point of contact for the whole scope. Here is the full range of work we take on:
- Plumbing — leaking supply lines, valve and faucet replacement, drain and trap work, fixture swaps
- Bathroom remodeling — tub-to-shower conversions, vanities, new pans, waterproofing before tile
- Tiling — floor tile, shower surrounds, backsplashes, grout and cracked-tile repair
- Hardwood flooring — install, board replacement, transitions and trim
- Flooring — laminate, vinyl plank and tile floors, including subfloor prep over slab
- Roofing — leak tracing, shingle and flashing repair, patching after storm damage
- Painting — interior repaint, ceilings, exterior stucco and trim, patch and texture first
- Home renovation — kitchens, whole-room updates, multi-trade projects run start to finish
- Handyman services — doors that won't latch, drywall holes, dry rot at thresholds, shelving, fixtures, the punch list
How a Bloomington job actually runs
We start with a walkthrough. You show us the problem, we look at what's connected to it, and you get a written price for the work described — nothing added later without you approving it first. On a bathroom, that means we tell you upfront whether the pan needs replacing or just re-grouting, because those are two very different numbers and you should hear it before the demo starts, not after.
On a typical Bloomington bathroom, demo and rough plumbing take the first couple of days, waterproofing and tile the next, then grout, seal and set the fixtures. A single leaking angle stop under a kitchen sink is a one-visit fix. A tile floor across a living room and hall usually runs a few days depending on how much old adhesive has to come off the slab. We tell you which category your job falls into when we quote it.

What Bloomington customers have said
Reviews from homeowners we've worked for, describing the work we did:
- "Our guest bathroom had a slow leak behind the tile that had rotted out part of the wall. Kendrick opened it up, replaced the bad framing, waterproofed it and re-tiled the whole surround. It looks better than the original." — Bloomington homeowner
- "Ceiling stain kept growing after the rain. They traced it to bad flashing on the roof, fixed that, then patched and painted the ceiling so you can't tell where it was." — Bloomington homeowner
- "Replaced the laminate in three rooms with vinyl plank. They dealt with the uneven slab instead of just laying over it, and cleaned up every night." — Bloomington homeowner
