Ken Independent Home Solutions works throughout Colton, from the older stucco-and-slab houses near Valley Boulevard to newer tract homes on the north side of town. Kendrick Drysdale runs the business and does the work, which means the person who looks at your leaking shower valve or your buckled hallway floor is the same person who quotes it and finishes it.
Most Colton calls fall into a handful of categories: a hose bibb that won't shut off, grout that has crumbled out of a 1970s bathroom floor, a section of roof that leaks after the first real rain of the season, or interior paint that has chalked and faded on a west-facing wall. Those are the jobs we do week in and week out.
Nine trades handled by one Colton crew
Instead of hiring a plumber for the valve, a tile setter for the shower pan and a painter to patch the wall afterward, you deal with one person from start to finish. Here is the full list of what we take on:
- Plumbing — leaking valves, running toilets, sink and tub drains, fixture swaps
- Bathroom remodeling — tubs, showers, vanities, new tile and fixtures
- Tiling — floor tile, shower walls, backsplashes, grout and caulk replacement
- Hardwood flooring — installation and refinishing
- Flooring — laminate, vinyl plank, tile and carpet transitions
- Roofing — repairs, patching and re-roofing
- Painting — interior and exterior, including prep and patching
- Home renovation — kitchens, whole rooms, layout changes
- Handyman services — doors, trim, drywall, shelving, fixture mounting and the punch list nobody else wants
What a Colton repair job actually looks like
A typical bathroom job starts with a walk-through so we can see what's behind the tile before promising anything. If the shower has been leaking into the subfloor, that gets addressed before the new tile goes down — otherwise the same crack shows up again in a year. On flooring, we check the slab for moisture and level before laying hardwood or vinyl plank, because a lot of Colton houses sit on slab and small dips telegraph straight through the finished floor.
For roof calls, we find the entry point rather than smearing sealant across the whole thing. On paint, exterior stucco in this part of the Inland Empire takes a beating from sun on the south and west elevations, so those walls get patched and primed properly instead of just recoated.

Colton and the surrounding cities we cover
Colton is a short drive from our base in Rialto, so it's a regular stop. We also work in San Bernardino, Bloomington, Fontana, Grand Terrace, Loma Linda, Riverside and Jurupa Valley. If you're in Colton and unsure whether your job is big enough to bother with — a single door that won't latch, one cracked tile, a toilet that rocks — it's still worth asking. Small jobs are a large share of what we do.
How pricing and estimates work
We look at the job, explain what needs doing and what it will cost, and put it in writing. If the repair turns out to be simpler than it looked, the price reflects that. If we open a wall and find rot or old galvanized pipe, we tell you before we keep going rather than adding it to the invoice at the end.
For remodels — a bathroom, a kitchen, a room getting new flooring throughout — we'll talk through material choices first, because tile, plank and hardwood all price out differently and that choice usually moves the total more than the labor does.
