Why Dollhouse
One licensed contractor for the whole project — start to finish.
When a foothill home needs more than a single room, you need one licensed contractor accountable for the whole thing — plans, permits, framing, systems and finish. That's what we've done across the San Gabriel Valley foothills for 25 years. Dollhouse handles your project under one roof: our in-house architect draws the plans and pulls permits, and our own crew self-performs the build instead of juggling a chain of subcontractors. You get one contract, one fixed price, one written timeline, and one project manager who walks the job with you every week. Whether you're remodeling the whole home, adding square footage, or building an ADU, we design it around how you live and build it to last decades.

How It Works

The same process we've used on every foothill project for 25 years.
Free in-home consult & sketch
We walk the home, talk through how you want it to work, and sketch options on the spot. Free. No obligation.
Architect plan, permits & fixed quote
Our architect draws the design and pulls permits; you get a line-item quote with a written start-and-finish date before you sign.
One crew builds it & walks it weekly
Demo, framing, systems, finishes — handled by our own crew as one coordinated scope, reviewed with you every week.

Real materials, specified to last.
Quality framing and finish carpentry, real stone and tile, solid-wood and quality-ply millwork, and hardware that still works in twenty years. We bring samples to you and help you choose finishes that fit your style, your budget, and how your home actually gets used.
Plan My Project What It Costs
Honest ranges, not vague "it depends."
Your exact number comes from the free in-home consult. Here's how most foothill projects break down:
Single-room remodel
One room taken down to studs and rebuilt — bath, living space or kitchen — on the existing footprint.
Whole-home remodel
Multiple rooms, a reworked layout, and updated systems and finishes throughout the home.
Addition / ADU
New square footage: room additions, second stories, or a detached accessory dwelling unit.
Every quote is line-item and fixed in writing before you sign. Financing available.
The Dollhouse Promise
Three guarantees that take the risk off your remodel.
Fixed-Price Quote, In Writing
The number on your contract is the number you pay. The budget you sign is the budget that closes the job.
On-Time Finish, In Writing
Your start and finish dates go in the contract. Run past finish day on us, and we credit you. No vague excuses.
5-Year Workmanship Warranty
Our work carries a five-year Dollhouse warranty on top of every manufacturer warranty. One call, we make it right.
