Featured Reviews for Design-Build Contractors & Firms in San Marcos

Ocean Drive Designs
Design-Build Contractors & Firms in San Marcos
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 24, 2021
“I highly recommend Marwan and Ocean Drive designs. He transformed our kitchen and the rest of our house into a beautiful space that we love to come home to; he listens better than most to his client's wants/needs and incorporates these into their design aesthetic. Marwan was very patient with us through the process, always willing to entertain our crazy ideas that at the end he made them a reality. He provided great 3D sketches which gave us a very good idea of what the end result was going to look like, helping visualize things. You won’t find a nicer and more ethical designer & contractor than Marwan. We highly recommend Ocean Drive Designs and will definitely use them for any future projects.”
Sea Pointe Design & Remodel
Design-Build Contractors & Firms in San Marcos
Average rating: 4 out of 5 starsMarch 1, 2014
“Can recommend Sea Pointe w/reservation. The end result was just what I wanted...getting there was somewhat of a financial surprise. Originally, I asked that the master bath remodel be consistent w/other (3) bathrooms (Siematic cabinets, imported Spanish tile). Two walls were taken down to studs and shower stall removed. I had assumed new shower doors were included since shower was torn out and this was a remodel...it did not (+$ for glass doors). (What average home owner would know that shower doors are considered "fixtures" & "fixtures" were not included in Sea Pointe's estimate.) I had assumed that my baseboards would be tile (consistent w/my other bathrooms, as originally requested). Specific baseboard material not identified in estimate (+$ for baseboard tile). Bottom line...stand in front of your wall and identify each and every detail and make sure it is specified in Sea Pointe's est.”
Design Studio West
Design-Build Contractors & Firms in San Marcos
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsAugust 28, 2013
“I'm fortunate to have known Dana and Lee for nearly 7 years. Their reputation speaks for itself. If you haven't done so already, visit their beautiful showroom on Girard Ave. The products are high quality. So many of the displays demonstrate how you can have a gorgeous, functional kitchen in small spaces.”
