Sam's professionalism, attention to detail, and construction experience made MDG an easy choice. Our project was completed on time, on budget, and far exceeded our expectations. Completely remodeling our master and guest bath along with various other custom projects (built-ins, flooring, carpet, paint, and laundry room), MDG went above and beyond with the incredible design and installation. Constantly communicating the next steps and updates, working with MDG was a simple and overall amazing experience. Sam works with an extremely tidy and meticulous crew and I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND working with MDG on your next home project. We plan to use Sam and MDG again on our next project!!! **Comment from Maker Design Group:** > Devin, thank you so much for reviewing us! We really enjoyed working with you and your family to upgrade and beautify your home over the past few weeks. Your master suite especially turned out absolutely amazing! We look forward to working with you again in the future! ### All 40 reviews **★★★★★ — Jane Chung, Nov. 2024** > Sam and his team remodeled a jack and jill bathroom that my children use. There were pre-existing issues with the piping which led to the remodel. Sam is very prompt, good at communicating and incorporated my design ideas into the remodel. He made sure I was happy with everything and was able to correct minor details to my liking. The whole process was very easy and my family is happy with the results. He also said if there were any issues in the future to please contact him. I appreciate the dedication to the final project and the customer's satisfaction. It speaks to the quality of the work. **★★★★★ — 2671 Club Mesa Costa Mesa, Dec. 2023** > Its hard to find good General Contractor as a sub contractor but Sam with Maker design group is a phenominal guy. He's really easy to work with and flexible, has respect and integrity, and always pays on time (this is rare with contractors). I would highly recommend Sam with the Maker Design group **★★★★★ — HU-907853641, Oct. 2023** > Sam and his team were amazing! We remodeled our bathrooms and working with Sam made it easy and simple! He is always responsive and available! He got the job done in an efficient manner. We are very impressed with the results and quality of his work. We highly recommend Sam and Maker Design Group to anyone looking for a general contractor! We definitely will use them again! Thank you very much. **Comment from Maker Design Group:** > Thank you so much for reviewing MDG for your Newport Beach Condo project! We look forward to working together in the future. **★★★★★ — Virginia, Aug. 2023** > Maker Design Group took our plans and created our dream ADU for our family. All design features of flooring, cabinets, fixtures, lighting, were suggested, then shown to us for approval. They were well-coordinated and enhanced every square inch of the structure. Sam, the president of Maker Design Group was actively involved in each step of the build from the reinforcements to the placement of walls, roof and stairs of a 2 bedroom project. I am pleased to have worked with Maker Design. Sam is a master communicator and rapidly answered every question we had. He is a miracle worker. Thank you MDG. I recommend them highly! **Comment from Maker Design Group:** > Thank you for your review Virginia. We really enjoyed working with you on your Newport Beach ADU and home remodel! **★★★★★ — Robin, May 2023** > Great company with a lot of knowledge. They will walk you through each step of the process with quality assurance & customer care. Highly recommend these professionals! **★★★★★ — Precision Property Measurements, Nov. 2022** > We've worked with Maker Design Group on several occasions over the years. Working with the MDG team is always so easy and seamless. Samuel and the team are so friendly, knowledgeable and professional! We always look forward to working with the folks at MDG and look forward to continuing a great working relationship with them for many years to come! **★★★★★ — Rene, Sept. 2022** > Sam from MDG was great to work with with regards to our master bathroom remodeling. We were more or less novices when it comes to design and materials and he did a great job consulting with us and making recommendations. > When the time came to do the demo and upgrade work, his guys were always on time and worked efficiently with few interruptions in between. They were also taking care not to cause unnecessary dirt and dust and protected our light carpet in the bedroom and up the stairs. Throughout the process, Sam kept us up-to-date on who was going to come when and for what purpose. > The shower glass guys ran into some snags and had issues with damage to the glass panels, which delayed finishing the project some, but stuff like that happens. > After the install, we noticed the shower was not draining fast enough and had a wet spot where water was pooling on the floor. Sam and crew came back spent several hours taking care of that issue for us. > I would definitely recommend MDG to others and would not hesitate to use them again for future projects. **★★★★★ — bruceco, April 2022** > We used Maker Design Group (MDG) for an extensive remodel of our Dana Point house. The entire upstairs (living room, kitchen, dining room, powder room, and master bedroom and bathroom) was redone, to the point that a single twelve-foot wall was the only interior wall that did not move. Samuel and his team at MDG were a complete pleasure to work with. Samuel worked hard to understand what we were trying to accomplish in the remodel, suggested alternatives when appropriate – or when the budget required it – and generally maintained excellent communication throughout the process. > > Remodeling in the middle of a global pandemic had its challenges. Getting someone from the power company out to approve our new meter or dealing with an appliance that came in six months later than promised are two quick examples. Even when suppliers or other outside elements caused delays or issues, Samuel was always able to reschedule work with his team so that delays were minimized. We never had a delay due to someone from MDG team not being available. They were 100% reliable. > > Overall, we are delighted with the result and happy to have worked with MDG. We’d use them again in a minute and gladly recommend them to others looking for an expert remodel team. **Comment from Maker Design Group:** > Bruce, thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We really enjoyed working with you and are so glad you are happy with the finished product. The beautiful project pictures showcased on our profile are the result of your ideas and collaboration with our team. We successfully weathered the pandemic together. We look forward to working with you again on future projects! **★★★★★ — C Yusem-Meyers, Sept. 2021** > MDG provided excellent project execution on a complete remodel of our master bedroom and en suite master bath. I know a thing or two about renovation, having worked with several contractors on a variety of projects over the years. My most important criterion in selecting a contractor is prompt and straightforward communications, with full transparency. Sam Quinta excels in this regard. But what became most appreciated is that Sam and his team work so hard to make sure the client is satisfied. There are always speed bumps in any project. The issue is how they're dealt with. MDG works tirelessly to ensure that the end result is to the client's satisfaction and that the execution is flawless. Sam works to the highest ethical standard. One other note, Sam does a great job of following architect/designer specs and communicating with your design team. The sourcing and timely delivery of materials is a real strength as well. Bravo to Sam and MDG. **Comment from Maker Design Group:** > We had a blast working on your project from start to finish, navigating the challenges, to create a gorgeous outcome. We really enjoyed working with you and thank you so much for your review of MDG! **★★★★★ — mdr0619, March 2021** > I can’t believe how easy MDG made remodeling my master bathroom. They worked with me to design my dream bathroom and I couldn’t be happier. The project came in on budget and ahead of schedule. The workmanship is outstanding. I would highly recommend them. **Comment from Maker Design Group:** > Thank you so much for your review Mary, we really enjoyed working with you. Your master suite turned out fantastic! We look forward to working together on your next project! **★★★★★ — Brendan Springstubb, June 2020** > MDG helped my wife and I with a large scale remodel of our living room, den, and a bedroom addition, some of which required extensive engineering and permitting work. Our house was completely transformed and we couldn't be happier with the outcome. Sam was very diligent in keeping us informed on the progress and timelines, and was extremely responsive to any questions that came up along the way. Highly recommend! **Comment from Maker Design Group:** > Brendan, thank you so much for reviewing MDG! We really enjoyed working with you and your wife. We are thrilled with with way your home turned out; a beautiful and functional masterpiece. The combination of modern sophistication and excellent use of indoor and outdoor spaces is truly marvelous! We would love to work together with you on future projects. **★★★★★ — Haley, May 2020** > Working with Sam at MDG was a pleasure. He goes above and beyond to handle the permits, scheduling, logistics and he listens and understands the first time. This was my first big house remodel and dealing with the city was a pain. He handled everything going out of his way to make multiple trips to make sure our permit gets approved and the house is done to code. I will use him again for my next project. **Comment from Maker Design Group:** > Thank you Haley! It was really great working with you to renovate your property as well! Your project was a profound transformation as we took a rough residence and turned it into a bright, airy, and beautiful home! We look forward to working with you again! **★★★★★ — Ekash, Dec. 2019** > Sam and the company have done an amazing job to transform our kitchen and family room area. The outcome of this project was nothing but perfect! Sam is great to work with, highly professional, dedicated to the customer satisfaction. He drives for perfection and put extra effort when necessary to workaround the issues and come up with solutions during the course of project. Highly recommended! **Comment from Maker Design Group:** > Thank you so much, it has been such a pleasure working with you! Your home is truly a masterpiece. **★★★★★ — Denise Rockstroh, Sept. 2019** > Nothing but positive things to say about Sam from Maker Design Group! When starting our master bathroom renovation, I knew I wanted to work with someone who had an eye for design... this is Sam all the way! From the beginning, Sam helped pick tiles, fixtures, and finishes, even meeting me at the tile store multiple times. Throughout the entire remodeling process, Sam was very communicative, always providing me with updates and expected timelines. Since we gutted the entire bathroom to start fresh, I really had a vision for something spectacular... and that vision really came into fruition with Sam's help. I will definitely work with him again in the future. Thank you for everything, Sam! **Comment from Maker Design Group:** > Thank you so much Denise, it was a pleasure working with you! **★★★★★ — Ann Mesa, July 2019** > As a design professional I have worked with home builders, contractors, flippers, contractors and private clients for many years. Spring of 2019 I had the distinct pleasure of Collaborating with Maker Design Group on a project in Irvine. The team was very professional, efficient, diligent and thourough. They truly have their client's best interest in mind and are careful to ensure quality standards and aesthetic appeal are beautifully delivered to the fullest extent. I am excited to start the next project with MDG **★★★★★ — HU-362530505, July 2019** > Excellent team, work ethic, work standard and integrity. I enjoy working with MDG and look forward to scheduled future projects together. It is a rare blessing to find a design-build firm that understand the industry from top to bottom. Any concerns were quickly addressed and solutions identified and implemented. As a GC I can tell you these are definitely the kind of people we love to work with. **★★★★★ — Charles Hirst, June 2019** > If you are looking for the highest quality of service in design and build look no further than Maker Design Group. Sam was incredibly responsive, demonstrated superior knowledge, and asked detailed questions regarding our project to ensure we received exactly what we were looking for in our new home. Scheduling conflicts prevented us from using him but when we do another project in the future I will definitely be calling Sam and his team first. **★★★★★ — Dawn Rinker, June 2019** > Sam is a very reliable designer and contractor who goes out of his way to help my clients. He designed and remodeled my client's bathrooms in Newport Coast after her purchase of her home. She was meticulous and was very happy with Sam's work and services. Sam was able to go the extra mile and help my client with English as her second language. In addition, he knows what he is doing so if you listen to him on suggested remodel and repair work, you will get a big return on your money if you are looking to sell. He is creative and has a lot of resources for quality finishes. I recommend Sam with 5 Stars! **★★★★★ — HU-390306018, May 2019** > Fast and reliable professionals. Great seamless work. Went from concept to dream reality with little to no hassle. I would recommend them to everyone that has quality in their dream project. **★★★★★ — Pacific Coast Builders, Inc., May 2019** > Being a design build firm also we found that Sam and MDG is a pleasure to work with. They displayed integrity and are highly professional. He was extremely attentive to our requests as the project developed. He also was helpful with resolving concerns. Answers were always received in a timely manner. We look forward to our future joint projects. **★★★★★ — Sinclair C, Aug. 2018** > Our kitchen remodel, new flooring, master walk-in shower rebuild, and main bathroom vanity update couldn't have gone smoother! Thanks to Sam and his professional crew, the whole project was completed in a very timely manner, while giving me frequent updates along the way. I couldn't have been more pleased with the outcome and am impressed with the quality of the workmanship. Great job Maker Design Group! **Comment from Maker Design Group:** > Thank you reviewing our work Sinclair! The team and I really enjoyed working with you and would welcome the opportunity to do so again. You project truly turned out great! **★★★★★ — Stephanie Bottaioli, Aug. 2018** > Sam at Maker Design Group is your man for your home renovation needs. I hired Maker Design Group first for bathroom tiling. After seeing the final product, I awarded them the job for interior painting and kitchen cabinet install. > > I was most impressed with the tiling job. The attention to detail surpassed my expectations. I did 3 full new bathrooms and I can't decide which is my favorite. Plus, they were very considerate of cleanliness and meeting timelines. He also got me the lowest bid by far for painting my whole house with new walls. The painting crew even came back at a moment's notice to do touch ups and paint new items (some doors, trims, baseboards, etc.). The cabinet installers were able to work with my custom island cabinetry install even though the pricing given was for off the shelf pieces only. All tradesmen that came through Maker Design Group were very flexible and understanding. > > Sam was able to deliver quality at an unbeatable price (and I did quite a bit of price shopping). He reassured me of all my worries and fears (such as care with my newly refinished wood floors). He is incredibly easy to work with and is extremely responsive. His priority is customer satisfaction and he visits the site to ensure that work is meeting expectations. > > I was very impressed with Maker Design Group’s results and professionalism. I will be hiring them again for future home projects. **Comment from Maker Design Group:** > Stephanie, thank you so much for your review of our work! Your home is truly a work of art that beautifully represents your tastes in a timeless fashion. It was an absolute pleasure working with you! **★★★★★ — Michael Balla, May 2018** > Sam was a pleasure to work with and always extremely responsive! Maker Design remodeled both of my bathrooms and went out of his way to make sure everything met my expectations. I would recommend Maker Design to any of my friends. **★★★★★ — polarstone, April 2018** > We worked with MDG on a beautiful white kitchen remodel using our polarstone Alpine quartz. Sam was enjoyable to do business with and we have multiple projects in the works. **★★★★★ — Stephanie W, Jan. 2018** > Sam (Montage Design) is very responsive and timely providing quotes and stayed right on track for project timeline. Sam had great suggestions for finishes for our 2 bathroom remodels and willing to work within our budget. > I will use Sam for future projects and recommend his services. **★★★★★ — jenn1995, Jan. 2018** > Beautiful job on a bathroom remodel. Uses excellent plumbers and tiling professionals. Sam made sure I was happy with every last detail before calling it done. **★★★★★ — eveshuang, Jan. 2018** > We hired Sam for a whole house remodel and we are very pleased with the results. Sam is always responsive and available for us when we have questions. We made quite a few last minute changes and he was willing to work with us to get things customized the way we wanted. I have to say their tile work is amazing. They are not the cheap but they are very reliable and do good quality jobs! **★★★★★ — Anum Ahmed, Jan. 2018** > Sam was really quick in answering my inquiry for a home renovation project I'm working on and was very personable. He had a lot of experience in the field and provided us a lot of great information regarding our addition and what we should expect. Overall, our initial meeting was very informative and I'm grateful Sam had worked on similar projects in the past. **★★★★★ — Stephanie Gomez, April 2017** > We hired them to do all of our tile work (4 bathrooms and our kitchen) for our major home remodel. We really did hit the jackpot when finding this company. It is rare to find all the qualities you hope for when taking on a massive project like ours. Their craftsmanship was precise. We had chosen a lot of intricate tile designs/patterns that required extra patience, problem solving skills , installation experience and creativity. and the outcome was perfect. They are on time, conscientious of your budget, trustworthy and good natured. They possess a multifaceted knowledge and passion for their trade and have impeccable design sense. We would 100% recommend this company. **★★★★★ — Marc S., April 2017** > Sam and his team at Maker Design Group, LLC were awesome! The communication was great from the beginning and the craftsmanship is second to none. The attention to detail really shows in the finish product. I would absolutely recommend Maker Design Group, LLC and would use them again in a heartbeat. Thanks guys for the shower of our dreams! **★★★★★ — Julie Demuth, April 2017** > We highly recommend Sam and his team at Montage Design Group!

We are so happy with the end product! **★★★★★ — Wendy Rodriguez, March 2017** > I highly recommend Sam and Maker Design Group, LLC for any home improvement projects you want to exceed your expectations.

I would recommend him to anyone looking for high quality work. **★★★★★ — Debbie Fisher, March 2017** > I was referred to Montage Design Group by a mutual acquaintance and right from the initial consultation I felt very comfortable with Sam and his team. We decided to take a vacation and left the entire project under Sam's supervision. He and his team totally gutted our master bathroom shower replacing it with an entirely new enclosure glass and beautiful tile and fixtures. We arrived home to our brand new bathroom just as we had designed it together. Everything we discussed was perfectly executed and on time. I would definitely recommend Montage Design Group and plan to use them again for future projects! **Comment from Maker Design Group:** > Thank you Debbie, that was a fun project! Looking forward to working with you again soon. **★★★★★ — nickyangel100, March 2017** > My son Tarek (best known for his work on HGTV’s Flip of Flop) and I have worked with Sam before and once again we could not have been more pleased with the exceptional level of service, quality of craftsmanship, and attention to detail that was given to this project. I was excited to sign with Montage Design Group for the renovation of my bathrooms using Porcelanosa tile, which is truly an art. The pictures speak for themselves. From start to finish the work was carried out with a diligence and care that was truly remarkable. An unparalleled experience. I have and will continue to HIGHLY recommend Montage Design Group to all close friends and family. **Comment from Maker Design Group:** > Thank you Dominique, it was a pleasure to work with you and participate in bringing your wonderful and lively design ideas to life! **★★★★★ — Pattie Blasdel, March 2017** > This young man ... has a gift .. he can see how it will all come out before he even starts !!!
