Featured Reviews for Del Mar, CA Home Builders

Rancho Santa Fe Craftsman
Del Mar, CA Home Builders
June 14, 2017
“I worked with Greg and RSFC on a major remodel in 2016. My other experiences with contractors has never been this smooth and painless. The first thing I noticed was the level of communication that I received. Whether it was scheduling or explaining processes, I always felt that Greg was in control of the job and that gave me a lot of confidence in the end result. Budget is always a concern, and as things change throughout the job we were able to talk about how the changes would reflect on the final cost. I think that the biggest thing that I would like to mention is Greg's attention to detail and craftsmanship. I finally have gotten to work with someone that is as concerned with the details and the finished product as I am. Greg views the whole house as a system, and builds that way. Every detail matters, and that really shows when you walk through my new home. I will definitely work with Greg and RSFC on a project in the future.”
Mansson Construction LLC

“Several years ago, when Martin and his family were living in Hawaii, and he was the proprietor of a one-man shop, we had Martin remodel the small guest bathroom in our condominium apartment. By removing a privacy wall and hand-crafting a vanity cabinet, he transformed the room into a bright and open retreat. The centerpiece of his work is the beautiful Mango wood cabinet and mirror frame he constructed to replace the old vanity. He is a first-class cabinet maker and precise craftsman who takes pride in his work and doing the job right! Martin was easy to work with, kept us apprised of his progress (even when we were way for a few days), and always cleaned up at the end of the day. Professional, polite, and a simply nice guy. Subsequently we also had him reconstruct and retile our master shower/toilet area. Again, the result was a clean modern look. We would have no reservations hiring him again, or recommending him to any of our friends or family. Our only regret is that he and his family moved from Hawaii before we could get him to remodel our kitchen. On a scale of one to five stars, he and his work rate five stars. Frank Streed & Pamela Medeiros Kailua, Hawaii”
Jantz Construction

“Ryan is the consummate professional. He embodies honesty and quality, consistently exceeding our expectations in every way. Both himself and his subcontractors are clean, courteous and polite. My wife felt very comfortable being home alone with them in our house (we have four daughters as well who adored the whole crew). He has done numerous projects for us: two full bathroom remodels, a family room addition and an additional bedroom add-on. We have known Ryan and used his company over the course of 8 years. Look no further, he is the best!!!”

“As an architect of fine homes, I refer Dave Morgan to my clients to general contract their custom homes. Dave is detail oriented, transparent about costs and easy to get hold of, always. I highly recommend Morgan Group.”
Mulvey Custom Builders
Del Mar, CA Home Builders
March 23, 2016
“Mulvey Builders built my house 30 years ago. Over the years we have done several projects with Mulvey Builders, including remodeling our kitchen, upgrading our bathrooms, and upgrading our yard to include a pool and basketball court. I trust the men who have done the work both inside and out in my home. They handled everything.”
Marrokal Design & Remodeling
Del Mar, CA Home Builders
June 6, 2013
“We raised our family in the same neighborhood over 26 years. Our home yearned for updating. Some goals were: eliminate fall risks from multi level flooring, make downstairs bathroom senior safe, open up family room and brighten up downstairs with new doors and windows. We chose Marrokal because of their impeccable reputation. We did not seek other bids because ours would be the 7th Marrokal remodel project in our small cul-de-sac. All our neighbors praised their work. The Design Team exceeded our expectations and incorporated creative innovations into our home AND helped us stay within our budget. The production phase required a bit of oversight, but this job, remodeling all of the downstairs, was completed on time in 5 1/2 months. We lived in our home during the project and Marrokal always kept the job site clean! The caliber of subs was top notch. The final product turned out fabulous! Finally, we rarely need to utilize our extended warranty due to the quality of workmanship, nothing breaks! There is no doubt in our minds that we will hire Marrokal for future projects. You should too!!”
Spaces Renewed
Del Mar, CA Home Builders
June 30, 2014
“Spaces Renewed is a great company managed by a contractor-designer husband & wife team. Beth has a keen eye for design complimented by Marshall's high professional level of construction expertise. It was a real advantage for us to consult with both of them during the initial consultation, and the computer generated plans gave us a real good sense of what the end product would look like. From start to finish they were pleasant and courteous in every way showing a full degree of trustworthiness and honesty. The contractual documents were clearly itemized with plenty of detail, and all our questions were addressed with great care. They had a very skillful work crew that showed careful attention to every detail, including thorough cleanup at the end of every work day. They were always responsive to any questions or requests we had. Workdays were very consistent with no delays, which made the project come in on schedule. Everything worked out to be right on budget, and the final results far exceeded our expectations. We have no hesitation in giving Beth and Marshall the highest rating, and recommending their company to anyone who wants a thoroughly professional job done.”

June 27, 2013
“I had the pleasure of working with Bob both in 2011 in 2012. He was extremely professional and organized. He gave me solid timelines and was flexible when my client's needs changed. The project was a big one. The home was about 7500 sq ft. We remodeled the kitchen and secondary bathrooms, changed the flooring throughout, replaced staircase railings, plus added a dance studio and a home theater. We addressed the front and back yard too. We added an outdoor entertainment/cooking area. He also added an outdoor powder room. He made my job easier because he communicated so well. I referred him to another client who said he seemed to be the only contractor she interviewed that actually listened to what she wanted. Props to Bob.”
