### Reviews

**★★★★★ — Bob D, July 2026**

> Working with Teknik Design & Remodeling was hands down the best design/build experience we have ever had. From the initial consultation through final handover, Kevin and his team delivered a full kitchen renovation that exceeded every expectation we walked in with.
>
> Kevin has an exceptional eye for high-end design and a depth of expertise that becomes obvious within the first conversation. He guided us through stone selection, cabinet color direction, fixture pairing, and hardware finishes with the confidence of someone who has done this at the highest level for years. Every recommendation he made turned out to be the right one, and the finished space feels elegant, timeless, and completely cohesive.
>
> What sets Teknik apart is the personalized care. Kevin was hands-on throughout the entire project, walking us through options, sharing progress, and making himself available whenever we had a question. Jackie in the office kept every detail organized and communication seamless. Scheduling, deliveries, trade coordination, and change orders were all handled without a single dropped ball. Truly a frictionless experience, which anyone who has renovated a home knows is rare.
>
> The craftsmanship is meticulous. Every trade Kevin brought in did top-tier work: cabinet refinishing, countertop fabrication and installation, plumbing, tile, electrical, all of it. The attention to detail on the finish work is what separates a good remodel from a great one, and Teknik is in a category of its own.
>
> They finished on time and actually came in ahead of schedule on several workstreams. The site was cleaned up at the end of every day, and the final walkthrough felt like receiving a brand new kitchen: every surface inspected, every drawer tested, every finish confirmed. The luxury touches throughout, from the Taj Mahal quartzite to the Brizo Luxe Gold fixtures to the Honey Bronze hardware, were executed exactly as designed.
>
> If you are a discriminating client who cares deeply about design integrity, quality of execution, and being treated well throughout the process, Teknik is the firm to hire. Kevin and Jackie run an operation that is genuinely the best of the best. Highest possible recommendation.  Looking forward to working with Teknik for many years to come!

**★★★★★ — Tanya W, Oct. 2025**

> I recently completed a full master bath remodel with Teknik, Inc. to accommodate my husband’s physical disability. Kevin and his team were professional, friendly, and reliable throughout the entire project. The remodel involved turning a standard bathroom into a wet room with shower, toilet, and sink, connected to a dry room with vanity and walk-in closet—complete with foundation work after extending into part of the patio.
>
> The project was well-managed and completed on time with no downtime. Jackie was outstanding—always responsive and proactive in keeping things on track and quickly addressing any follow-up issues. Kevin provided helpful design guidance, and I’m very pleased with the results.
>
> While I initially misunderstood the budget regarding fixture purchases, that was on me. The quality of work was excellent, and even city inspectors commented positively during the four required inspections.
>
> Overall, I’m very happy with the finished project and would absolutely hire Kevin and the Teknik team again.

**★★★★★ — Complete bath and dressing area remodel., April 2025**

> Kevin and all employees showed exceptional skills and respect to us and our home.  Always on schedule and always “ listened “ to our concerns and suggestions. When in need I will always consider Teknik first.

**★★★★★ — Zach Harrelson, March 2023**

> Kevin and the team did a WHOLE HOUSE REMODEL for us and we couldn’t be happier. We love living here and we got everything we wanted. We re-did everything… kitchen, bathrooms, floors, walls, windows, doors, you name it. We even had some construction done to
>
> Kevin goes by the book and even when it started to look like something couldn’t be done (can’t put a toilet here because of the floor joists, can’t put a sliding door here because of the slope of the outdoor concrete…), just give Kevin a few days to think on it, and he’ll figure out a solution. He’s a thinker, and will figure out a legit by-the-code way to get you almost everything you want. We were so happy.
>
> He also has a keen eye for details and style. I think his specialty is tile, and we love our new bathrooms so much. If you have an idea and incorporate his advice, things will turn out beautiful.
>
> The working crew is also amazing. They work hard and do a solid job. And if you find anything, it’s minor and they’ll come fix it. You have to be reasonable about your expectations, but everyone is excited for you to enjoy the final product, and it’ll be great.
>
> Moving back in is taking forever but I can’t wait to add a picture. Definitely consider this team, they have good ideas and will work hard.

**★★★★★ — dlpoole9, Feb. 2022**

> Teknik Inc. just completed the remodel of my kitchen, family room, and fireplace.  The end result was even better than I imagined.  Kevin and his design ability took my vision and made it even better.  Ruth and the rest of the team were wonderful to work with and cared about the project as much as much as I did.  I was out of the house for the first two months and the constant communication kept me informed and put me at ease.  The job was done on time (actually early) and the entire team was attentive to every detail.  I was so thrilled with this company, Kevin is already creating a design for the backyard.   I will continue recommended Teknik to friends.

**Comment from Teknik Design & Remodeling:**

> Oh my goodness, Donna! Thank you so much for your lovely review of the team! We have enjoyed (and are still enjoying) working with you! We love how your vision came to life and we're so happy you're pleased with the results. It's a new space altogether. Can't wait to talk soon!
>
> Sincerely,
> Kevin, Ruth & Clean Cut Crew

**★★★★★ — michelle pizzo, July 2021**

> Teknik Design & Remodeling surprised us at every turn! First, the design was more thorough than I anticipated--they didn't want to leave any room for unexpected change orders or mistakes! We had 100% of our product before the job got started and there were no breaks or abandoning the job site or schedule like you hear about with so many in the industry.
>
> Remodeling is dusty but the crew was diligent to cover and mask my home daily, even from the front door to the master bathroom!
>
> The whole project was an enjoyable experience,  from design to completion. Kevin and his team were always cooperative and flexible, on time and  dependable! My husband and I had a new idea for an LED back-lit shampoo shelf and when we did the final walk-through, Kevin had secretly included it for us as a surprise! Great minds think alike! Raul, Chanh, Juan and other crew members were on time every single day and took great care of my house. Highly recommend!

**★★★★★ — Dinesh Patel, May 2021**

> Since Teknik had done a wonderful construction job by extending our family room, without any
> hesitation had TEKNIK (Kevin) do a small project requiring a removal of a wall between our

**★★★★★ — Matthew Miller, March 2021**

> The entire team at Teknik were fantastic and great to work with. Our master bathroom remodel came out far better than we had envisioned. The project completed right on budget and in the time frame that we were given at the start. The team wore masks the entire time and were very respectful of our space.  Thank you to Kevin and the entire team. We LOVE our new bathroom.

**★★★★★ — Donna Kiley, Nov. 2020**

> I have very high regard and respect for Kevin and his crew at Teknik and would recommend them without reservation!
> They are very skilled professional craftsman who take pride in the quality of their work and stand behind it.
> The company has high integrity; they are honest in their estimates and in the work they produce. They are also reliable and show up as scheduled. They have done a number of projects for me over the years and have always stood behind their work until I was completely satisfied with each job. I wouldn’t have anyone else in my house!

**★★★★★ — MisterPrivate Guy, Aug. 2020**

> For anyone like myself who really takes the time to interview/select a vendor for something, you need to call Teknik to include in your process.  Kevin is a fantastic partner, and everyone in his company are complete professionals who are masters of their trade.
> I had a total remodel in my downtown condo, and could not be happier with the experience and results.   This included 2 bathrooms, Kitchen/Dining/Entertainment center (all custom across the board.)
> My biggest concern going into this was hiring a contractor who would need to be managed.  Kevin & Ruth are extremely detail oriented and were 2 steps ahead of me the entire time.  The amount of detailed attention Kevin had for my project was a tremendous relief, and the entire experience was actually enjoyable. Keep in mind, this was even during Covid 19 limitations and I still feel this way!!  I will never hire a different contractor in San Diego, and highly suggest you explore this company to see if you feel the same after.  10/

**★★★★★ — James S, Nov. 2019**

> "Beach style master bedroom, bathroom, and closet remodel"
> We wanted our master bedroom and bath to be a sanctuary in our house... and it was definitely time for a remodel!  (You don't know how bad it is until you take a picture. Yikes.)  We didn't know how to find the right contractor, so like everyone, we started our search online (Angie's List, Home Advisor, Google etc.), looking for a contractor we could trust, be reasonably priced, and be a company we would "go-to" for additional jobs.  Kevin, the owner of Teknik, was quick to respond to our online inquiry and within days, Kevin came to our house and we immediately felt comfortable and at ease.  Kevin had so many design ideas that helped us envision what was right for our space.  After entertaining a few more consultations with contractor companies, we knew the answer; it's Teknik for sure - their responsiveness, their heart, their design ideas. They cared about the project and our house as if it were their own.  Every step of the way Kevin and Ruth were our partners in the design-build process, allowing us to remain in control of our project scope, selections, and overall budget.  The whole experience was stress-free and actually fun!
>
> From demolition to finishing touches, the Teknik team was courteous, polite, punctual, and kept our home clean through-out the construction process. Our new go-to contractor team for life. NO MORE SEARCHING ONLINE!

**Comment from Teknik Design & Remodeling:**

> Yay! I'm so glad that you enjoyed our process as much as enjoyed working with you and Linda. What a delight it was to see your third floor transform and to see how much you're enjoying it already. Great job and we will talk to you soon! Here are a couple of before pictures :)

**★★★★★ — Kathy Adams, Sept. 2019**

> We had Teknik remodel our kitchen, staircase, and outdoor patio. We absolutely LOVE the finished project!  Kevin and his design-build team transformed our 20 year old, dated house into the envy of our neighborhood!  We went from a dark, non-functional kitchen...into a fabulous, contemporary indoor/outdoor living area.  The La Cantina door opening up to our patio added a whole new dimension to the way we live and entertain.  Our home has been transformed into an inviting oasis, where family and friends want to be!
>
> Kevin had so many awesome ideas on how to modernize our living space, based on our personal needs. The scope of the project grew in the design phase, and end-product totally exceeds our exceptions!!
>
> The Teknik crew and staff are all amazingly professional, helpful, and responsive to all of our questions and needs.  It felt like we all functioned as a team and it was truly a pleasure to work with Teknik!

**Comment from Teknik Design & Remodeling:**

> ...And that is exactly what we wake up to do every morning, transforming people's lives. Remodeling with TEKNIK is beyond just upgrading the look of your house, it is about joining forces with our clients to create a life long sanctuary that is both efficiently functional and truly enjoyable for them and their families.

What type and color is it?
