Why Dollhouse
One licensed contractor for the whole project — start to finish.
When San Dimas homeowners outgrow their floor plan, the fix is rarely one room — it's walls moved, space added, and systems brought up to date all at once. That's general contracting, and it's what we've done across the foothills for 25 years. As your licensed general contractor, Dollhouse handles the whole project under one roof: our in-house architect draws the plans and pulls permits, and our own crew self-performs the build — framing, electrical, plumbing, finishes — 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 on your San Dimas lot, we design it to fit how you live and build it to last decades — no handoffs, no finger-pointing, no surprise change orders.

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.
Common Questions
Straight answers, no upsell.
What does a whole-home remodel cost in San Dimas?
It depends on scope, but most San Dimas projects fall into three bands: a single-room remodel, a whole-home remodel (multiple rooms, new layout, updated systems), and an addition or ADU that adds square footage. You get an exact, line-item, fixed price at the free in-home consult — not a vague range.
Do you build ADUs and home additions in San Dimas?
Yes. As a licensed general contractor we design, permit and build room additions, second stories, garage conversions and detached ADUs in-house. San Dimas offers a streamlined permit path for ADUs that meet state standards, and our architect handles the application and plans for you.
Are you a licensed general contractor?
Yes — CSLB License #1045801 (General Contractor), bonded and insured. Our office is on Stonehenge Drive in San Dimas and our crew lives in the foothills. Verify us in 30 seconds at cslb.ca.gov.
Can I stay in my home during the remodel?
Usually yes for a phased remodel or an addition — we seal off the active work zone and keep the rest of the home livable. For a full whole-home gut we will tell you honestly when staying makes sense and when it does not.
Where We Build
General contracting in San Dimas & the surrounding foothills.
Much of San Dimas was built between the 1960s and 1980s, so neighborhoods like Via Verde and the tracts climbing toward San Dimas Canyon are full of ranch and mid-century homes now ready for whole-home updates and additions. Hillside and canyon-adjacent lots bring real grading, drainage and access considerations for room additions and detached ADUs. The City of San Dimas Building & Safety Division handles permits, and the city offers a streamlined path for state-compliant ADUs.
Our crew lives here. San Dimas sits right inside our service area — within a 25-mile radius of San Dimas you'll also find us in Glendora · La Verne · Claremont · Upland · Rancho Cucamonga · Pasadena · Arcadia · San Marino · Sierra Madre · Monrovia · Covina · Azusa · Duarte · Walnut · Diamond Bar · Chino Hills.
