As a true full-service interior design and general contracting firm, they eliminated the usual stress of remodeling, by managing every single detail from initial concept to the final coat of paint. We worked with them and their fabulous team to transform our kitchen, primary bathroom and secondary bathroom. > Regarding the design, Shelley with her keen design eye and pursuit of perfection, captured our aesthetic perfectly, creating spaces that are both stunning and highly functional. > Regarding the project management, Stephen, being the ultimate problem-solver, kept the project on schedule while brilliantly managing our expectations and the chaos of a busy job site. He was onsite every day from early until late, making sure everything ran smoothly and on time. > Having the designer and construction crew under one roof meant zero communication gaps, zero finger-pointing, and zero delays. > The crew arrived on time every day, kept a remarkably clean and tidy workspace, and treated our home with the utmost respect. > If you want a beautiful and functional home without the headache of managing multiple independent contractors, Sass Construction and Design is the only way to go and worth every penny. They deliver a rare combination of artistic vision and structural execution of the highest quality. We cannot recommend them highly enough. **★★★★★ — zmsclar, June 2026** > Sass Construction and Design helped us out with our remodel of our master bathroom and second bathroom. Shelley and Stephen are an incredible team. The design planning with Shelley was easy and so much fun. Shelley was flexible with her time and generous with her advice. Stephen was prompt, courteous and on top of all the comings and goings of all the vendors. Their attention to detail and customer service was unparalleled and their calm "no fuss" demeanor meant that they were a pleasure to work with. Its always a great sign when all the vendors and workmen raved about each of them. They have loyal Subs and that speaks volumes. It was such an easy remodel and I can't recommend them enough. **★★★★★ — katzies, June 2026** > The Sass team was great to work with. Our project turned out really beautifully and in good timing!! Everybody that worked on the project were polite, timely and a pleasure to work with. We would highly recommend the Sass team for any of your house remodeling projects. **★★★★★ — Mohit Bhushan, May 2026** > We recently completed a major whole-house renovation with Shelley Sass as our designer and Stephen Sass as our general contractor. They are a formidable team; Shelley’s keen design eye and relentless pursuit of perfection are perfectly balanced by Stephen’s hands-on execution and daily presence on-site. Completing a project of this scale on schedule is a rarity, and we couldn't be happier with the results. We highly recommend Sass Construction and Design to anyone seeking a seamless, high-quality home transformation. **★★★★★ — Garage conversion into finished room, May 2025** > Stephen (the project manager) and Shelley (the interior designer) sustained excellent communication before and throughout the process of converting our unfinished garage to a finished room. Their team completed the garage conversion project in accordance with the projected timeline. We were very happy with the quality of the finished room and would be happy to work with them again. **★★★★★ — Suzanne Cooper, March 2025** > It was a pleasure to work with Shelley and Stephen on a project to remodel our kitchen, bathrooms, and main bedroom. Shelley brought her special insight into developing a perfect design that aligns beautifully with our own style. Stephen and his project team brought the plan to life ahead of schedule, while maintaining a perfectionist's attention to detail. Both Shelley and Stephen were always ready to listen and completely engaged throughout the project. We are thrilled with the results. We highly recommend the Sass team and look forward to working with them again. **★★★★★ — HU-648230322, Sept. 2024** > I used Shelley and Steven (Sensitive Information Hidden) on the remodel of my condo in Serra Mesa and I couldn't be happier with the results. Shelley did the Interior Design and Steven led the construction team. Their service was phenomenal. I would highly recommend them and their team. They are really wonderful to work with. Lots of great ideas and knowledge. Very easy to work with. Floors, cabinets, lighting, fans, bathrooms furniture selections, window treatments and more. I can't believe what a difference they've made to this place. My family will reap the benefits for a long time. Thank you so much Shelley and Steven. **★★★★★ — saskiacrawford, Aug. 2024** > Shelley and Stephen Sass of Sass Construction and Design recently completed a remodel project of our primary bathroom, guest bathroom, powder bathroom, and laundry room. Shelley and Stephen worked hard to keep to our requested timeline, were extremely punctual and responsive, and took care of our home as though it were their own. Shelley has a very tasteful design aesthetic and it was easy to collaborate to determine exactly what we wanted and needed. She gently guided us along the way, with excellent, thoughtful, and thorough design advice. Her attention to detail (even the smallest!), enthusiasm for all aspects of the design/construction process, and energy in keeping everyone focused and on task was a marvel. Not one day was wasted due to misaligned schedules - everything hummed along brilliantly. We added a number of extra projects to the overall scope - and somehow and miraculously, they kept to the original timeline. Their fantastic sub-contractors ALWAYS arrived on time and I was definitely comfortable with them in my home (even when we were often out of town). Thanks to Shelley and Stephen and their outstanding team, we are absolutely thrilled with the results. HIGHLY recommend! **★★★★★ — Anne-Marie Parker, July 2024** > Following thorough research, I decided to hire Shelley Sass of Shelley Sass Designs to renovate the kitchen and bar area in our recently acquired home. I cannot speak highly enough of her. Not only is she an absolute pleasure to work with but she is such a talented interior designer and home renovation expert! Shelley is a consummate professional who goes above and beyond to ensure the job is completed to perfection. She manages every step of the project and is communicative, punctual and very hands on. She not only excelled in her work but also demonstrated exceptional professionalism by surpassing our expectations to ensure flawless completion of the project. Together with her husband, Stephen Sass, of Sass Construction and Design, they delivered the project on schedule and within the budget! The final outcome exceeded my expectations! I am so delighted with their services that I am planning to enlist their expertise for my upcoming projects as well. **★★★★★ — jeanyp95, Dec. 2023** > Shelley and Stephen remodeled two bathrooms for me and the results are very stunning and have given me much joy and happiness. Every time I walk into the bathrooms I get so much pleasure. > I work full time and was not around to manage my project, and I knew at every step of the way they were there managing things, taking care of things and looking out for my best interests. > Their communication is beyond reproach and their efficiency is outstanding. Every question and request was addressed immediately and I didn’t have to worry about anything. Stephen and Shelley were always available and took care of the entire project management from beginning to end. > Shelley’s creative input on the design side resulted in a beautiful elevated look and cohesive design throughout my house. > I highly recommend Stephen and Shelley for any design, remodel or construction project, as their passion, integrity and commitment made me realize I thankfully chose the best team! **★★★★★ — Delaney Giacalone, Dec. 2023** > We worked with Shelley and Stephen to add a new room to our house, specifically a library room with lots of bookshelves and a window seat. From the beginning they were easy to work with and were tremendously helpful. They are both fantastic communicators and always explained every step of the process along the way. > > We started with just the idea of what we wanted and they helped shape that idea into reality. First they helped us with getting blueprints created and approved by the city. Once that was finished, construction began. Stephen was great in managing the whole project, making sure everything was timely and smooth. He coordinated with all the subcontractors and would always be there to meet them at our house. During construction Shelley helped design the interior with us and interface with the cabinetry company. She's very knowledgeable and we always felt like she valued our opinion as well. They made everything very stress free for us and we're so happy with how the room turned out. We overall loved working with them and would definitely work with them on any future projects. **★★★★★ — Tammi Litke, Aug. 2023** > I used Sass Construction and Design for a kitchen remodel in 2022 and was so pleased with the results that i hired them in 2023 for a bathroom remodel. Very professional and they are on top of every detail.. They have outstanding sub contractors as well. Shelly went with me to numerous tile and quartz stores to find the right designs for my vision.. Stephen checks in multiple times a day to make sure all is in order I also re did all the floor downstairs and the fireplace in the family room. The timeline was adhered to so no delays . I was pleasantly surprised that everything was done in time. I am planning on redoing the two remaining bathrooms next year and will definitely use Sass Construction and Design! **Comment from Sass Construction and Design:** > Thank you Tammi for your fabulous review and it means so much to us. Our clients happiness is our only concern. We loved working with you and we are thrilled with the results. We look forward to working with you again when we remodel your primary bathroom and guest bathroom in the next few months. ## Selected projects - [Full Home Remodel in 4S Ranch](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/full-home-remodel-in-4s-ranch-pj-vj~7238839) - Location: San Diego, CA - Photos: 52 - Description: This is a beautiful one story home (always a winner), with gorgeous landscape views of hills and greenery.
