Why Dollhouse
One licensed contractor for the whole project — start to finish.
Most La Verne homeowners we work with aren't moving — they're investing in the home they already love, and that usually means more than one room. General contracting is how those bigger projects stay coordinated. Dollhouse is your licensed general contractor: our in-house architect designs the remodel or addition and handles the City of La Verne permits, and our own crew self-performs the build rather than stringing together subcontractors. Whole-home remodels, room additions, second stories, garage conversions and ADUs all run as one scope, one contract, and one fixed price with a written finish date. You get a weekly walkthrough with a single project manager and a five-year workmanship warranty on top of every manufacturer's. From the first plan to the final punch list, we design around how your household lives — then build a La Verne home that holds up for decades.

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.

Fixed-Price Quote, In Writing

5-Year Workmanship Warranty
Our work carries a five-year Dollhouse warranty on top of every manufacturer warranty. One call, we make it right.
Common Questions
Straight answers, no upsell.
What does a La Verne home remodel or addition cost?
La Verne projects typically break down into three ranges — a single-room remodel, a whole-home remodel with new layout and updated systems, or an addition/ADU that adds square footage. The exact figure is fixed and itemized at your free in-home consult, so there are no surprises after you sign.
Do you build ADUs and second-story additions in La Verne?
Yes — room additions, second stories, garage conversions and detached ADUs are core general-contracting work for us, designed permitted and built in-house. Our architect handles the City of La Verne plans and permits; the northern foothill and estate lots get a site evaluation for grading and access before we finalize the design.
How long will my La Verne remodel take?
It scales with scope. Design and permits run before construction; a single-room remodel is measured in weeks, a whole-home remodel or addition runs longer. Both the design and build dates go in writing before you sign.
What warranty do you offer?
Every Dollhouse project carries a five-year workmanship warranty on top of all manufacturer warranties, and your start and finish dates are written into the contract. One call and we make it right.
Where We Build
General contracting in La Verne & the surrounding foothills.
La Verne blends the historic, university-adjacent charm of Old Town La Verne with established mid-century neighborhoods and the upscale custom homes of North La Verne and Marshall Canyon Estates. The foothill and gated estate areas north of Golden Hills Road bring slope and access factors for additions and ADUs, while aging central-city homes drive whole-home remodels. Permits run through the City of La Verne Planning and Building & Safety divisions; notably La Verne has historically taken a lighter approach to historic-preservation regulation than neighboring cities, though Old Town falls under its own Specific Plan.
