Two Decades of
Island Excellence
Where mainland luxury expertise meets intimate island knowledge. For 20 years, PLS Builders has been the trusted name for discerning homeowners who demand exceptional quality on Catalina Island.
Peter Jones
Before Catalina became home, Peter Jones spent years crafting some of the most prestigious residences on the Southern California mainland. His portfolio reads like a map of Los Angeles' most coveted addresses: Beverly Hills, Pacific Palisades, Malibu, Brentwood—neighborhoods where precision and perfection aren't preferences, they're prerequisites.
Twenty years ago, Peter made a choice that would define his legacy. He brought his uncompromising standards across the channel to Catalina Island, where he saw an opportunity to do something remarkable: deliver world-class construction to a place that truly deserved it.
Today, Peter is more than a contractor—he's a neighbor, a community member, and a builder who understands that on an island this special, every home matters. His mainland experience combined with two decades of island expertise creates something you simply cannot find anywhere else.
