    Our family is so happy with our new deck and outdoor space and can't thank Shay and his Crew at Rhino Builders enough for all their hard work. We worked direclty with Shay and he helped make things run smooth thoughout the entire process. Any issues were addressed and resolved immediately. The finished product was amazing and look forward to years of enjoyment.
    Love our new Deck and so glad we did it!!
    Thank you again Rhino Builders.

    Kitchen & Bathroom
    $65,000

    We bought a new place and the kitchen and bathrooms needed a major remodel. Rhino Builders was great from the start: they showed up on time for the estimate, communicated well every step of the way and got our re-model done in a timely manner!!
    We then hired them for some other renovations around the house and still were great and their pricing was always competitive. Thanks, will definitely recommend Shay and his team at Rhino.

    Convert a second story loft into an office
    $50,000

    Shay and his team gave us extremely high quality work at a great value. They were very thorough, professional, comprehensive in their service. I had a second-story loft converted into a home office. I was surprised to see that everything looks as if my home was built this way. Electrical, Scaffolding work, drywall, painting. Every aspect was taken care of and more. I was very stressed to go into construction work which can be very messy and frustrating but the team thoughtfully cleaned up each day. I could not be happier and more impressed with Rhino Builders.

    Communication with them was very pleasing and we definitely recommend working with them ??

    Home Renovations
    $87,900

    I own a small apartment building that needed soft retrofitting, I had been dreading the cost and hassles that usually accompany any construction project. I called a few retrofitters many either did not return my calls or seemed uninterested in a small job. Rhino was different. When I met with the men I was instantly satisfied with the knowledge. Hiring Rhino was a no-brainer. The job went very well: it started on time and ended a few days early. There were no surprises - no "extras", so my cost was as agreed. During construction, Sean gave me regular updates on the project and he answered all my questions promptly. Their bid for the project was thousands of dollars less than competitors. I definitely recommend Rhino Retrofitting.

    Renovations whole house
    $69,800

    Excellent experience again with Rhino Retrofitting. Sean and Antonio came to see my 3-story apartment building in South San Francisco. We discussed what the soft story retrofit plans will likely include. They both are knowledgeable and experienced. We appreciated their professional, no-pressure approach and taking time to answer our questions. Rhino performed an exploratory investigation of the support structure, as architectural plans were not available. They engineered the plans with city approval. They then consulted with us and provided the approved THP (Tenant Habitability Plan) paperwork. Sean went over the approved plans and explained the work that would be performed and the purpose. They both answered all my questions. The primary work team was very pleasant and answered all our questions. I was provided with timely progress reports by phone and text. When I had a question, my call was answered or returned right away. Despite Covid-19, they scheduled and passed inspections and completed the work on time. I have seen projects by other companies stuck in limbo for months with no progress in the past. They removed all debrisand left the property clean. My tenants and neighbors had no complaints! I am very pleased with this experience.

    Renovating A Bathroom
    $38,600

    I am very impressed with Rhino Retrofitting; their customer service is top-notch. Scheduling an appointment and interaction with the company was a great experience. This company truly cares about doing business the right way. I highly recommend them to anyone who needs compliance with the mandated soft story retrofitting. From the first meeting, Sean explained in detail the work required to be done. He was also available after we signed the contract. Communication was excellent, the work was of high quality, and the price was fair. I absolutely recommend Rhino Retrofitting.

    Did a fantastic job, and I am super happy
    $36,550

    I had to have earthquake retrofitting done on one of my properties. Rhino Retrofitting did a fantastic job, and I am super happy with the work. I have recommended them to friends who have also used the company for several soft-story retrofits. Finding a construction company that I can rely on was critical. This company was excellent from start to finish. They told me exactly what the cost would be and handled permits and inspections. All I had to do was sign the check. I recommend Rhino Retrofitting to my friends and the public.

    Very professionally run construction
    $42,600

    Rhino Retrofitting is a very professionally run construction company. I own a three-story building that needed to be soft-story retrofitted. Sean and his team did the work we agreed upon in a timely manner, and I am very satisfied with the entire experience. The workers were on time and efficient; they cleaned up at the end of the dayand acted very professionally. Sean took care of permits and city inspections and kept me updated on the project's progress. Thanks for a job well done!
