Hemet is a city of roughly 90,000 people in the San Jacinto Valley in Riverside County, about 30 miles southwest of Palm Springs and 90 miles east of Los Angeles. The city has long been known as a retirement destination in inland Southern California, with a higher share of older residents and fixed-income households than most comparably sized cities in the region. That character is reflected in the housing stock - a large portion of Hemet homes are single-story ranch-style properties built in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s, plus a significant inventory of mobile home parks and age-restricted manufactured housing communities. According to the city profile on Wikipedia, the city sits at approximately 1,600 feet elevation in the San Jacinto Valley, which gives it hotter summers and colder winters than most of coastal Southern California. Landmarks familiar to most residents include Diamond Valley Lake - the largest reservoir in Southern California - to the south of town, and the Ramona Pageant outdoor amphitheater in the hills above the city, one of the longest-running outdoor plays in the United States.
Hemet is relatively self-contained compared to other Inland Empire cities - most residents work locally or in nearby Riverside, and the city has its own commercial, medical, and service economy. Hemet Valley Mall has served as the central retail hub of the San Jacinto Valley for decades, and the Florida Avenue corridor is the main commercial spine running east to west through the city. For homeowners here, finding a reliable local contractor who is not just passing through from the coast matters - and our team treats Hemet as a primary service area, not an afterthought. Nearby Perris to the northwest and Beaumont to the north are also part of our regular service area - communities we know well and work in throughout the year.
