Carlsbad, CA Kitchen and Bathroom Remodelers

"Hi Love working with Lori. I had a remodel done for my kitchen and bathroom and Lori was very helpful in choosing the right colors to match and everything to coordinate. When you are spending so much money remodeling I felt it was important to have someone like her. I absolutely love my remodel and get complements all the time. Lori is very talented and listens to her clients."

"I had worked with Drew before, but this kitchen was all my own. Drew made great suggestions, but I made all of the final choices. I am thrilled with the final outcome. The kitchen is the same footprint, but has better flow and is more useful, with great storage. I will definitely use Drew and Coastal Designs for my next project. (Bathroom remodel)"

"I hired this company since it was highly recommended by a friend. They designed and remodeled my bathroom and dressing area so well that I could not believe I was able to have all the nice things and comfort in the available old bathroom of mine. The job was clean, on time and on the budget. Saeed's design was unbelievable . Thank you very much Saeed. Now we're thinking to have you do our kitchen."

"Mike and his team are fantastic. They completely remodeled my home including taking down walls, two baths,complete kitchen, heating and cooling, windows, floors etc. Top to bottom the renovation is spectacular. Mike has a great eye for detail and all of the sub contractors are excellent. Since I have expensive taste, Mike helped reign me in to stay on budget. We continue to work together on the exterior of my home to make it as exquisite as the interior. You hear lots of horror stories about contractors but none of that with the RedLeaf team. I highly recommend and in fact they are now working on my daughters home."

"When we had a water leak, we ended up having to gut the entire downstairs. We decided to change the footprint of the kitchen so we started getting quotes. I was delighted to find DelVecchio Kitchen & Bath. Peter came out and measured and offered some great suggestions that other companies didn't seem to think about. Also, we have a funky wall that sticks out about an inch further on one side of the sink. Had he not caught that, we would've had to reorder some cabinets to make everything line up. Peter was very professional, always easy to contact, and the pricing for the quality of cabinets I got was lower than anywhere else. I get so many compliments on my kitchen. I highly recommend DelVecchio Kitchen & Bath."

"Very pleased with the original consultation and follow up design for my kitchen. Very professional, knowledgeable and offered ideas I would never thought possible in redsigning my kitchen to be more functional. Great job!"

"First off, I want to say I am very pleased to have selected Paul Merrick Construction as my contractor for this renovation and I would not hesitate to recommend him to others. I entered the following tasks to use in recommending contractors: 1. Remove all cabinets and appliances from the kitchen and remove the dropped ceiling along the four walls and tear out the bar (pony wall) with the dining room. Insert doorway into hall behind kitchen. (Convert old kitchen to bedroom/office/home theater) 2. Tear out the living room fireplace and cement wet bar adjacent to dining area. (Space will be used for range top, hood and drawer microwave.). 3. Remove the first floor bathroom vanity with cement counter top. 4. Remove all tile and fixtures from master bath. 5. Properly dispose of all rubbish. 6. Move kitchen to dining room area, extend electrical and gas line to new locations for wall oven, refrigerator, dishwasher, range top, hood vent and microwave. Keep sink and dishwasher in current location by flipping them to the opposite side of a new wall to be built thus converting the old kitchen area into an office/home theater room. Install cabinets, and appliances and provide a movable island with built-in stand mixer shelf. 7. Install a dual headed shower to replace the former bathtub area, convert old shower into pantry closet, install double vanity with Carrara marble top, install porcelain wall and floor tile with Carrara marble trim. 8. Build out walk in closet in the master bedroom and replace/install six-panel doors throughout and paint the entire condo. I was provided with three primary contractor recommendations: I contacted all three, sent them my task list and set appointments with representatives. One was a no-show, one wanted $5500 to give me an estimate, and one provided a low, medium, high estimate (the low was more than double my budget of $85k). I went back for additional contractor recommendations and contacted Paul Merrick Construction. He took my list of tasks and arrived prepared to discuss the job and not sell me on removing weight bearing walls as another contractor had done. About five days later I received a 20 page breakdown of subtasks and costs for each task. This estimate was closely aligned with our budget and estimated a 10 week duration. Paul started tearing out the kitchen the first week of December and finished the renovation the end of February. It was a pleasure working with Paul, Gloria (interior designer for cabinet and appliance layout), and all of his workers. The tear out phase was messy as expected, yet they cleaned and swept the floors daily to minimize the dust and accumulation of debris. Drywall was removed from the old kitchen to simplify moving the kitchen gas and power lines. The ceiling in the old kitchen was raised as part of its conversion to an office/home theater with additional insulation and new drywall installed. Once the utility lines and drywall were in place for the new kitchen area, cabinets were carefully installed to accomodate a built in Blue Star wall oven and range top, refrigerator, drawer microwave, range hood, toe-kick drawers, and a moveable kitchen island that is a masterpiece. It was a pleasure to work with Mauro as he installed the kitchen, bath, and hall cabinets, built the island and installed the appliances. Paul's team did an outstanding job of prepping the master bathroom area for the new shower, wet-mopping, installing the large shower foundation and the porcelain tile and marble trim. The master bathroom and new kitchen are truly showcase rooms. With fresh paint throughout, upgraded doors and new kitchen and bathrooms we feel like we have a new home that will meet our needs during our retirement years. Thanks, Paul and Team."

"Dean Jones, owner of Authentic Design & Remodel, is the first contractor I have ever thoroughly enjoyed doing business with and this is the 5th home I have owned!!! Dean is both personally and professionally committed to the highest standards of work. His attention to detail is phenomenal. He is timely and his bids are accurate, the first time. There is no slope creep or additional expenses along the way. He is honest and ethical and approaches all of his work as if it were in his own home. His communication is excellent. His staff are ALL very dedicated, talented professionals, who happen to be amazing people too. They let my dogs out and even fed them once during a remodel when I couldn't get home. I have small children and their focus was on safety consistently. In addition, the work is mind-boggling beautiful and exactly ow I had it pictured. Dean has done a complete kitchen remodel for me, replaced every square foot of flooring, built custom garage shelving and recently built a beautiful patio, built in BBQ and a complete new landscape. I cannot say enough about his high quality craftsmanship, integrity and results. I would HIGHLY recommend Dean for any contracting need you may have. Laurie Wright San Diego, Ca"

"We have now used North Star for our Master Bathroom a few years ago and now our just completed kitchen. Eddy has such great vision and I appreciate his ideas and direction. His guys who were at our home for a month were the most respectful, efficient, clean, dependable and the list goes on - they felt almost like family. You hear so many stories about contractors who don't show up and do a sloppy job. These guys show up every day, work hard, want the job to be right and care about our input if there are any minor changes that we wanted to make. The project was finished within budget and right on time. If you are looking for a company that will exceed your expectations, call North Star, they will amaze you!"

"Don Silvers at Home Solutions did a complete kitchen remodel for us. Our kitchen was transformed beautifully into something we are very proud of. He was extremely professional and courteous. He designed the kitchen according to my wishes and needs. I bought all new appliances and he did the installations. The cabinets were beautiful and of very high quality . The best part was how affordable his prices were compared to others we got estimates from. We would highly recommend Home S olutions for a great kitchen remodeling experience."
