Remodeling and building across Pleasant Hill

Pleasant Hill sits in the heart of central Contra Costa, and much of its housing — the ranch and mid-century homes of Gregory Gardens, Poets Corner, and Sherman Acres — is ready for a serious update rather than a move. Rhino Builders has built across the county since 1989, and because our own 30-person crew handles framing, plumbing, electrical, and finish, your Pleasant Hill project runs in sequence instead of stalling between subcontractors. These are the four projects Pleasant Hill homeowners ask about most.

01 · Service

Kitchen Remodeling

Pleasant Hill’s mid-century floor plans tend to wall the kitchen off from the rest of the house. Our most common project here reconnects it — to the dining and family rooms, and often out to the backyard on these flat lots — while replacing wiring, plumbing, and cabinetry that have aged past their prime. One team carries it from demo through the final counter.

A modern kitchen features rich wood cabinetry with stainless steel appliances, including double wall ovens and a gas cooktop. A large white island with seating for three anchors the center of the room, which is floored with warm wood and illuminated by recessed ceiling lights and under-cabinet LED lighting. Natural light streams through a large window above the sink, overlooking an outdoor garden.
A modern, bright bathroom features a spacious walk-in shower with marble tile walls and a glass enclosure, positioned on the left side of the room. The right side displays a dark wood vanity with a white countertop, an illuminated mirror with integrated lighting, and chrome fixtures, while warm wood-look flooring runs throughout. Additional amenities include a heated towel rack, pendant lighting, recessed ceiling lights, and a toilet, creating a luxurious spa-like atmosphere.

Bathroom Remodeling

In Pleasant Hill’s established homes, a bathroom remodel is as much about the plumbing behind the wall as the tile in front of it. We replace tired supply and drain lines, waterproof to spec, and fix ventilation before any finish goes in — whether it’s a quick guest-bath refresh or a primary suite you actually want to linger in.

Full House Remodel

Many Pleasant Hill homes are one comprehensive remodel away from being exactly right — an updated floor plan, modern systems, and finishes that fit today. Because a full remodel touches structure, mechanical, and finish at once, we sequence it as a single project under one contract, so open walls reveal opportunities, not scheduling gaps.

A modern, open-concept home interior featuring a spacious living area with a beige sectional sofa, a kitchen with white cabinetry and quartz countertops, and hardwood flooring throughout. Large glass sliding doors open to a backyard patio and deck, while pendant lights hang above the kitchen island and a fireplace sits centrally between the living and kitchen spaces. The bright, airy design emphasizes clean lines and neutral tones with stainless steel appliances.
A modern wooden backyard studio or guest house with natural cedar siding and large multi-pane windows, featuring a covered entry porch and contemporary design. The structure sits on a paved patio adjacent to a residential home, surrounded by landscaping with shrubs and a manicured lawn. Construction materials and tools are visible on the left side, indicating ongoing building or renovation work.

ADU Construction

Pleasant Hill’s generous, mostly flat lots make ADUs simpler than in the county’s hillside towns — a detached unit, a garage conversion, or a junior ADU can pencil out cleanly for rental income or family. We run the whole process, from checking your buildable envelope against setbacks to city permits and construction under current California ADU law.

About Pleasant Hill

Built for Pleasant Hill homes and neighborhoods

Pleasant Hill’s neighborhoods — Gregory Gardens, Poets Corner, Sherman Acres, Golf Club Estates, and Pleasant Hill Heights — share a housing stock built largely mid-century, on mostly flat, walkable lots. That means similar layouts and similar opportunities: opening floor plans, updating systems that are decades old, and adding space or a second unit without leaving a central location close to BART, DVC, and the county seat.

As an incorporated city, Pleasant Hill runs its own building and planning process, with its own submittal standards and inspection sequence. We’ve filed and built here for years, so the permit package goes in complete the first time rather than coming back as a correction letter, and the project keeps moving from permit to final inspection.

Good To Know

Pleasant Hill general contractor questions

Yes. We prepare and submit the complete permit package to the City of Pleasant Hill’s building and planning division, coordinate any required reviews, and manage the project through final inspection so you don’t handle submissions or corrections.

A Pleasant Hill kitchen typically runs several weeks once permits are in hand; a bathroom is shorter. Older homes can add time when we uncover outdated wiring or plumbing, which we document up front so there are no budget surprises.

For many Pleasant Hill families the answer is yes — you keep the central location and lot while getting a home that fits today. We’ll scope the full project honestly, including what the existing structure needs, before you commit.

Most single-family lots qualify for at least one ADU under California law, and many can add a JADU too. We confirm exactly what your lot and setbacks allow during a free site assessment.

Cost depends on scope, finish level, and what the home needs behind the walls. We document every line item, including any systems work, before the contract is signed, so the number you approve is the number you build to.
