The story of Rhino Builders is a testament to the power of lasting relationships. It began in 1989, when Mac Tarlton laid the first stone of this company. Mac didn’t just build homes; he built a reputation for uncompromising craftsmanship and honesty.
What started as a professional partnership eventually evolved into a profound family bond. When the time came to pass the torch, Mac chose Shay and Mor Zilber to carry his legacy forward. Today, as a family-owned and operated business, we don’t just maintain those original 1989 standards, we elevate them for the modern Bay Area lifestyle.
Our mission, Shay explains, “is to address the unique challenges of modern California living, from optimizing urban density through high-end Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) to integrating sustainable, high-performance materials.” By focusing on structural integrity and innovative design, we ensure that every full-home remodel or custom build is a lasting legacy for Silicon Valley families.
Whether you are looking for a ground-up build, a high-end ADU, or a full home transformation, we are here to turn your vision into reality with quality you can trust at every step.
Renovation is more than construction; it is the translation of your vision into structural reality. For over three decades, Rhino Builders has stood as a pillar of reliability in Lafayette, Orinda, and the greater Bay Area.
