    Why Dollhouse

    The kitchen is the room you live in. Build it once, build it right.

    Claremont homeowners tend to care about doing things right the first time — and so do we. From the tree-lined streets of the Village to the larger lots on the north side, Claremont's homes range from character-rich older builds to spacious contemporary layouts, and each calls for a different hand. Our approach is the same either way: a licensed architect designs your kitchen in-house, we cost it line-by-line, and our own crew builds exactly what was drawn. No subcontractor roulette, no “that's not what I quoted” surprises halfway through. You get a fixed-price contract, a written timeline, and weekly walkthroughs with the same project manager from demo to final finish. Whether you're opening up a closed-off kitchen or rebuilding from the studs, we design around your home and the way you actually live in it — then build it to last.

    What It Costs

    Honest ranges, not vague "it depends."

    Your exact number comes from the free in-home consult. Here's how most foothill kitchens break down:

    Refresh

    New cabinet fronts, counters, backsplash, fixtures and lighting on the existing footprint.

    Full custom

    Walls moved, structural changes, premium millwork, signature island and high-end finishes throughout.

    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 kitchen.

    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.

    How much should I budget for a kitchen remodel in Claremont?

    Claremont kitchens generally fall into three tiers — a surface-level refresh, a mid-range remodel with new cabinetry and layout, or a full custom build with walls moved and premium millwork. Your exact, fixed number comes from the free in-home consult, written line-by-line before you sign so there are no moving targets.

    Do you remodel kitchens in older Claremont homes?

    Yes — a lot of Claremont's character homes need a careful hand, and our in-house architect designs around original structure rather than fighting it. If your home is in the Historic Claremont or Lincoln Park district, changes that affect the exterior can trigger added design review, and we handle that as part of the project.

    Will I have one point of contact throughout?

    Yes. The same project manager walks you through the build every week, and the crew that builds your kitchen is the crew that drew it — there’s no designer-to-builder handoff where details get lost.

    Are you licensed and insured to work in Claremont?

    Yes. CSLB License #1045801, bonded and insured. You can verify us in 30 seconds at cslb.ca.gov.

    What happens if the project runs long?

    Your start and finish dates go in the contract. If we run past finish day for reasons on our side, we credit you — and your work carries a five-year Dollhouse workmanship warranty on top of manufacturer warranties.

    Where We Build

    Kitchen remodeling in Claremont & the surrounding foothills.

    Claremont is full of early-1900s Craftsman bungalows, Spanish Revival and mid-century homes on tree-lined streets near the Colleges, including the protected Historic Claremont and Lincoln Park districts. That depth of character housing means many kitchens here need a preservation-minded approach — opening up the layout without fighting the home's original structure. Kitchen permits run through the City of Claremont, and remodels on homes in the historic districts can face added design review, which our architect navigates for you.

    Our crew lives here. Claremont sits right inside our service area — within a 25-mile radius of San Dimas you'll also find us in San Dimas · Glendora · La Verne · Upland · Rancho Cucamonga · Pasadena · Arcadia · San Marino · Sierra Madre · Monrovia · Covina · Azusa · Duarte · Walnut · Diamond Bar · Chino Hills.
