My mom is petite so Marie made sure all the fixtures and grabs were at the correct height and elderly friendly. Marie and Danny went above and beyond in communicating with my mom throughout the process. They left the house clean and tidy everyday and all their subs were wonderful. My mom says the CairnsCraft team was marvelous and kept her house immaculate! My mom is hard to please so this is definitely a relief to hear. We'll definitely use CairnsCraft again. :) **★★★★★ — Sharon Bodrug, Aug. 2026** > I had a great experience working with Marie and the CairnsCraft team on my studio renovation. They helped transform a dated, underutilized bonus room into a modern space our whole family can enjoy. Marie and her team were accommodating, flexible, and thoughtful as we worked through the right scope and approach for the project. > They also worked closely with both me and my designer to make sure the details came together smoothly. Adding a designer into the communication mix could have made things more complicated, but CairnsCraft made the process feel seamless. > I especially enjoyed working with Danny and Dennis. They were easy to collaborate with, communicated clearly, and kept the project moving at the pace I needed. The subcontractor they brought in was also excellent and went above and beyond to make sure my dogs were safe while the crew was coming and going. Everyone was friendly with the dogs, and the crew was greeted each day with wagging tails. > I’ve worked with several contractors, and this was the best experience overall. CairnsCraft Design & Remodel will be my go-to team for my next remodeling adventure. **★★★★★ — Sandra D, Feb. 2026** > I met Marie while visiting San Diego as I was thinking about remodeling my kitchen, I instantly thought of her and reached out to her. I live in Arizona and wasn't able to have Carin's Craft Design & Remodel complete the project however Marie went above and beyond to help me anyway. She was incredibly generous with her time, guiding me toward the right hardware, recommending trusted companies, and offering thoughtful direction throughout the process. > > I had a vision and had my own design but I was also inspired by her website and the stunning remodels she's completed for others--her talent, attention to detail, and passion for design really shined through. Even from afar, her support made a meaningful difference in my remodel. I am so grateful to Marie for her kindness, expertise, and willingness to help without hesitation. A heartfelt thank you! **Comment from CairnsCraft Design & Remodel:** > Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words. It truly means a lot to hear that our time together made a positive difference in your kitchen remodel. Even though we weren’t able to work together on the project directly, I’m so glad I could support you, share ideas, and help guide you along the way. > > Your vision and thoughtfulness throughout the process were inspiring, and it was a pleasure offering insight and recommendations to help bring it all together. I’m grateful you reached out and trusted me as a resource—it was absolutely my pleasure. Wishing you many happy years enjoying your beautiful new kitchen! > > Warmly, > Marie **★★★★★ — Chris M, Nov. 2025** > We chose CairnsCraft Design & Remodel for our old fireplace replacement, which included a floor to ceiling modern stone fireplace surround and installation of a linear realistic electric fire. From the beginning, we were impressed with their professional approach. Charles visited our house at the beginning of the project and with Marie came to view the finished project. They are truly dedicated professionals. Matt, the project manager, was our main point of contact, and was always available, in person or to respond promptly to phone calls and texts throughout the whole process. With the Cairns Craft team, he produced a detailed project proposal with itemized costs and a preliminary timetable. We remained in our home during the remodel, and was kept informed by Matt, in conjunction with online software, about which subcontractors would be at our home each day and when they would arrive. All were skilled, friendly and respectful of our home, cleaning up at the end of each day. The stone fabricator who installed our fireplace surround was particularly impressive. He worked closely with us to ensure the design we were looking for was achieved. His attention to detail was impeccable and craftsmanship second to none. A special thank you to Matt who kept the project moving along and was there to oversee the progress from beginning to end. We are so happy with our amazing new fireplace and looking forward to working with the team on our next project early next year. **Comment from CairnsCraft Design & Remodel:** > Thank you so much for this incredible review! It was an absolute pleasure partnering with you on your fireplace transformation. We’re thrilled to hear how much you’re enjoying the new modern surround and linear electric fire—what a beautiful upgrade to your home. > > Our entire team truly appreciates your kind words. we as owners of CairnsCraft enjoyed meeting with you again at both the start and completion of the project, and Matt will be delighted to hear how much his communication, attention, and professionalism meant to you throughout the process. Keeping clients informed and comfortable—especially when work is being done while they remain in their home—is something we take great pride in. We’re also glad to hear that our tradespeople made such a positive impression; their craftsmanship and respect for our clients’ homes are core to the CairnsCraft standard. > > Thank you again for trusting us with your vision and for recognizing the care and skill our team brings to every project. We’re honored to have earned your confidence and are very much looking forward to working with you again early next year. Enjoy your stunning new fireplace! > > — The CairnsCraft Design & Remodel Team **★ — Mike Fasulo, Oct. 2025** > BEWARE!!! I hired this firm to provide a kitchen remodel from design to execution and it was a horror story to say the least. From multiple measuring errors in the designs, to numerous visible damages, this firm is not competent and arrogant. They use a sub contractor named Kaizen Built Inc who should be best known for attempting to repair new items that Kaizen damages. They pride themselves in "fixing" problems they created and / or damages. Furthermore bth firms do not live up to the basic pricinipal of owning your mistakes. They in fact damaged my new appliances by saying paint on the aluminum doors accidentally but never let us know until we confronted them afterwards. To this day they have not remedied this damage. A 3 month $120,000 (not including $25,000 in new appliances damaged by Cairnscraft & Kaizen Built) remodel has taken over 2 years and is still incomplete. I have comprehensive notes and evidence of the "many" mistakes, damages, re-damages and uncooperative behavior of these 2 incompetent firms if anyone is interested. I have also attached a few photos (limit is 6, I have many more) of their work which should clearly have you 2nd guess using them on your project. **★★★★ — Steve Martini, Dec. 2024** > We choose Cairns Craft Design & Remodel to renovate our two (2) bathrooms. They were professional, attentive & prompt to our questions and concerns. In partnership with Cairns & Marie, we established the project timeline which was exceeded. We are very satisfied with the quality of workmanship and are now enjoying our two (2) bathrooms. Steve & Teresa Martini **Comment from CairnsCraft Design & Remodel:** > Steve & Teresa, thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience! It was truly a pleasure working with you both. We’re delighted to hear that you’re enjoying your newly renovated bathrooms and that our team’s communication, craftsmanship, and commitment to your project made the process smooth and enjoyable. > > We take great pride in exceeding expectations, and partnering with clients like you makes our work incredibly rewarding. Thank you again for trusting Cairns Craft Design & Remodel with your home—please don’t hesitate to reach out if you ever need anything in the future. We wish you many years of enjoyment in your refreshed spaces! > > — The Cairns Craft Design & Remodel Team **★★★★★ — Liza Gable-Ferguson, May 2024** > From the day Charles came to present information about CairnsCraft, to the last day of the project when Marie stopped by to give a thank you gift, our experience with Cairns has been fantastic. We had two incredible designers work on our home. Paola and Svetlana both listened carefully to our wishes and worked to create our dream kitchen. Having procured the design, we then had the opportunity to work with the construction team Marie managed. Every step of the way, matters were handled in a timely manner and Marie even managed to finish our project early! The whole experience was a joy - and having done two other kitchen remodels, we know this isn’t always the case! Marie, a master of communication, responded quickly and regularly to any questions or concerns we had. Finally, I have to add that working with Marie as our project manager saved us both time and money. We had a financial issue with the company that delivered our appliances, and on a late Friday afternoon, Marie called her many contacts and helped solve our problem! Thanks to CairnsCraft we now have our dream kitchen in our forever home. **Comment from CairnsCraft Design & Remodel:** > Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful review! It was truly an honor to be part of creating your dream kitchen, and our entire team is thrilled to hear how positive your experience was from start to finish. > > We at CairnsCraft loved working with you. Our designer will be especially grateful to hear how much you valued their creativity and ability to truly listen—collaboration like that is what brings great designs to life. And Marie is delighted that her communication, coordination, and care made the process smooth, transparent, and even enjoyable. Delivering projects on time—and sometimes early—is something we strive for, and we’re so glad that commitment made a difference for you. > > We also appreciate your kind words about the behind-the-scenes efforts. We believe our clients should feel supported every step of the way, and we’re happy we could help resolve things quickly so your project stayed on track. > > Thank you again for trusting CairnsCraft Design & Remodel with such an important space in your forever home. We’re delighted you’re enjoying your new kitchen, and we’re here for you whenever you’re ready for your next project. > > — The CairnsCraft Design & Remodel Team **★★★★★ — HU-487926864, Jan. 2024** > They were Wonderful and easy to work with.

Your feedback will surely help future clients feel confident choosing our team for their future project! > > — The CairnsCraft Design & Remodel Team **★★★★★ — Owen Roth, Dec. 2023** > This is the second home renovation project we have done with CairnsCraft and we could not be happier to work with them. Marie and Charles are wonderful to work with -- they are kind, patient, and responsive, and they are very good about communicating over the course of the project. They work with outstanding subcontractors who do beautiful work, and their own employees are terrific. They get the renovations done efficiently, they stick to the budget carefully, and they get good and fair pricing. Our most recent renovation could have taken several months, but they got it done in just a few weeks and the work is impeccable. We have recommended them to many of our friends and will continue to do so, and look forward to working with them in the future on our next home projects. **Comment from CairnsCraft Design & Remodel:** > Thank you so much for this fantastic review!

Your feedback means the world to us and will absolutely help future clients feel confident putting their homes in our hands. > > Thank you again—we can’t wait to work with you on your next project! > > — The CairnsCraft Design & Remodel Team **★★★★★ — Nicole S., Dec. 2023** > I absolutely LOVE Marie and Charles. We used them to remodel our La Jolla home after another contractor left us high and dry (and "forgot" to get permits for his work." They came in and re-did what needed to be done at fair, reasonable, and straightforward pricing. They can be trusted with quality and time. CairnsCraft is now my go-to for any work I need done. They built an ADU for me on time and on budget for the same house in La Jolla. We later moved to Rancho Santa Fe, and they did it again, converting a four-car garage and outbuilding into a beautiful 1 bedroom apartment! They made it really sweet, with a kitchenette, bathroom with large tub, and heated floors. It's a little oasis built out of 500 square feet, and adds so much to our home. Thank you Charles & Marie for all that you do! **Comment from CairnsCraft Design & Remodel:** > Thank you so much for this extraordinary review! Working with you over the years—and across multiple homes—has truly been an honor for our entire team. Clients like you are the reason we love what we do. > > We’re thrilled that we were able to step in after your previous contractor left things unfinished and help bring everything up to code, to standard with the transparency, quality, and care you deserved from the start. Knowing that you trusted us again for your La Jolla ADU, and then once more for your beautiful Rancho Santa Fe property, means the world to us. Repeat clients are the greatest compliment we could ever receive. > > Transforming your spaces—from the ADU to the garage and outbuilding conversion—has been such a rewarding journey. Hearing how much you love the finished 1-bedroom apartment, complete with the kitchenette, spacious bath, heated floors, and all the thoughtful touches, truly makes our day. Creating that “little oasis” for you is exactly the kind of project that inspires our passion. > > Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for your trust, loyalty, and generous words. Charles, Marie, and the whole CairnsCraft Design & Remodel team are always here whenever you need us. Your continued confidence in our work will absolutely help future clients feel assured that they’re in good hands. > > We can’t wait to help with whatever you dream up next! > > — The CairnsCraft Design & Remodel Team **★★★★★ — Vonna Cummins, Dec. 2023** > We worked with CairnsCraft for our kitchen remodel and wholeheartedly recommend working with Charles and Marie. From the design to the final product, our experience was positive! We have a small galley kitchen and pantry area and love the results--both beautiful and functional. Planning, coordination, and communication were always excellent as was attention to detail. Marie and Anne were immediately responsive to any questions. We really liked the scheduling program, so we knew what to expect day to day and week to week. And we finished on time! Thank you! **Comment from CairnsCraft Design & Remodel:** > Thank you so much for this fantastic review! We’re absolutely thrilled to hear how much you love your new galley kitchen and pantry.
