My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

URRUTIA DESIGN has been working in the design and development business for 25 years, focusing mainly on major residential renovations in Northern California. As a company we are passionate about our work and our commitment to our clients, always trying to maintain a proper balance between a client's design vision, our own creative vision and the overall investment and value of the property. “It’s an intimate process, this home renovating business. Getting to know our clients personally, as well as learning about what it is they hope their home becomes. There are many, many conversations and get togethers along the way. Deep discussions about design direction, wishlists, budget, necessities, guilty pleasures, etc. We forge amazing business and personal relationships, as you can imagine. And along with the comradery, always keeping an eye on the prize with attention to every design detail. AND always with room and patience for as many edits as necessary! Whatever the home, whatever the budget, the final product has to be incredibly special for the client. Comfortable, sensible, beautiful, timeless, nurturing… a place to nurture incredible moments. A place where amazing stories will be 'written.' After all, the home is the nest. It’s the hub for our lives. And in recognizing this, we always strive to create ‘life changing’ environments for our clients. With our home designs, our main goal is to actually change the lives of our clients… to change the lives of our new 'friends.'” —Jason Urrutia/Principal, URRUTIA DESIGN

We had an excellent experience with Urrutia Design. We had never used a design firm before, and we brought Jason in later on our project: but luckily we still hadn't made all of our design choices and still needed help. He was able to work with us on paint colors, mirror ideas, window trim materials and even sent us a wonderful tiler who fixed a botched grout job. We are so grateful for his expertise. We chose Urrutia Design with the idea to bring many different textures and materials together and make it feel intentional. He is so good at this! Jason is very friendly, easy to work with and we are looking forward to hiring him again. P.S. Don't wait! Hire him BEFORE you start!

Jason is a personable designer with many ideas. We were looking at doing an extension of our cottage to give us more living space. He brought another team member from his office, and a builder with him. All 3 gave us different perspectives; it was a productive meeting which helped us decide on what we wanted to do with our home. Thank you Jason!

As a General contractor, I worked with Jason (Urrutia design) on a project in San Rafael. The information given to us to build was on time and very detailed. Excellent communication and follow-up. The design was great; he was very picky with the finished products, and the result was stunning! Highly recommended, and I enjoyed working with them.

Jason and the whole Urrutia team made what could have traditionally been a stressful process for a family, a truly great experience. Their expertise, transparency and great communication made a much needed remodel practical and achievable. We look forward to working with them again and are always excited to refer them to friends and family.

One of the best decisions we made was to hired Jason Urrutia of Urrutia Design ( www.urrutiadesign.com) for our kitchen renovation. This was our first major home renovation and you can imagine all our questions and concerns but Jason was personable, professional and patience throughout the entire project. He is an experienced talented designer who listens and whose top priority is the client's happiness with the finished results. His knowledge, strong versatile design skills and attention to details elevated our ideas and choices to a level that only a designer's eye can create in a home. Today we have a timeless, beautiful kitchen that we love and there is nothing, absolutely nothing. we would change. It was wonderful to have a collaborative working relationship and we plan to hire Jason Urrutia in the future for both our exterior and interior projects.

Long overdue review. Jason was amazing and patient throughout the difficult San Francisco permitting process in the middle of Covid. Eventually we got our permit, fought through the supply chain issues and finally got our kitchen and laundry room addition. Construction is finally done, the design looks great! Still waiting to get our final sign-off from the city, but there's light at end of tunnel. Glad to see the vision materialize.

As a general contractor, it can be challenging bringing a designer’s vision into reality; the opposite is true for Urrutia Design. Working with Urrutia Design has always been a pleasure and every job we have worked on together has turned out great. They have well thought-out designs that are creative, realistic and unique and I can tell they keep the builder in mind when they are creating ideas. They are organized, thorough with planning, responsive and well versed with the products being used. I have several projects coming up with Urrutia and I am excited to get started.

Jason Urrutia is simply amazing to work with. I can't say enough about his expertise and ability to understand the preference and goals of his clients and turn them into reality. We are undertaking a fairly substantial remodel and have been working with Urrutia Design for a number of months. We live in a traditional home that needs updating but we don't want to lose the original tone of the house. With Jason's guidance we are going to end up with an amazing space that respects the original architecture. We know what we like, but could never do what we are doing without the guidance and expertise of Jason. If you are looking for a design firm that really truly knows their space, look no further than Urrutia Design.
