Contractors in San Bernardino
This office covers a huge area, from Fontana and Rialto out to Redlands and up into the high desert. A lot of what comes through here is warehouse and industrial adjacent — concrete, earthwork, electrical and sheet metal for the distribution buildings that keep going up along the 10.
It is also the office people from the high desert tend to pick, because Hospitality Lane is a straight run down the 215.
