Bathroom Remodeling Contractors Near Lemon Grove

“Nico, from Shugarman’s Bath, came today to replace the grab bars, shower head, and drain piece in our master bathroom due to hard water deposits. Also the shower head and drain plug in the main bathroom. He even touched up the caulking without us bringing it to his attention! He was friendly and polite! We felt very comfortable having him work in our home today. Very professional! Thanks Nico!”

“Royalty design & build is a top-notch company that pride itself on customer service. They did 2 of my bathrooms and we loved the results. The process was facilitated smoothly by Gabi and Lavi who were very patient and extremely helpful when we were feeling indecisive. The project was on time and on budget. It was our first major remodel, and we would use Royalty design & build again without hesitation.”

“Recently Marrokal Design & Remodeling completed the remodeling of our condominium in downtown San Diego. From start to finish their work was excellent and we couldn't be happier with our remodeled unit. We strongly recommend Marrokal for anyone, like us, thinking about a remodel project for their home. We live on the 15th floor of a high-rise downtown San Diego condominium development called The Grande North. About one year ago, having lived here for awhile, we decided to remodel both our bedrooms, both bathrooms, and install new wood floors throughout. The work was particularly challenging because it included moving various interior walls to create a new walk-in closet (without losing too much space in our master bedroom). Knowing this was going to be a big, expensive project for us we interviewed a substantial number of people and companies. We interviewed design firms, general contractors, and design/build companies. When we interviewed Steven Mark, a Senior Design Consultant with Marrokal, we felt thoroughly comfortable with his presentation and ideas. He also suggested some terrific ideas for our kitchen that we had not considered, such as removing a section of our kitchen counter to add space and allow for the installation of an island counter. It was a great idea so we added the remodeling of our kitchen to the project. Steven was realistic and honest with us about pricing, the time necessary to do our project, and the challenges with remodeling in a high-rise development. We spent a couple of months working with Steven on the design of our remodel, and eventually obtained all the elements we were looking for. Once we finished the plans, Steven introduced us to George Lazorcik and Melissa Prevost, the Senior Project Manager and Interior Designer, respectively, for our remodel. All three people are Marrokal employees. This fact was extremely important because it eliminated any potential for “miscommunication” between design, interior design and construction. Before construction started, George gave us a construction schedule that outlined the various phases of work. George's schedule turned out to be spot on. This was important for us because, due to the extensive nature of our remodel, we had to rent another place to live for a 5 month period. There were three points about the construction of our remodel that were particularly outstanding: (1) No HOA rule was ever broken, Marrokal and their subcontractors were particularly vigilant about abiding by our HOA's rules and regulations. (2) Every day someone was on the job performing some task to complete the remodel. We've been involved in construction projects before where you'd get some work done one week, then one week off, then work the following week. George made sure that the work was continuous without various trades tripping over each other in a rush to finish. (3) If there was a problem, George told us about it and we worked it out. Obviously in a project this size unanticipated issues will come up, and they did, but George was always honest in his evaluation of whatever the problem and the potential solutions. This attitude made this project, for us, a lot less stressful. George was always “on our side.” In our case Melissa, our interior designer, was much more than that – she was also part mediator and part psychologist. We had a LOT of decisions to make because of the extensive nature of our remodel. Also, half-way into our project, we decided to change all our interior doors from paint grade to stain grade. So helping us make decisions on cabinets, doors, countertops, appliances, tiles, sizes, colors, and coordination of all of these for all the different rooms and the kitchen seemed like an insurmountable job. Yet Melissa took the time and had the patience to work with us over a number of months to make sure we achieved a finished product that surpassed our expectations. Of particular note was the research effort, design time, and coordination with a Canadian company to get a “one-of-a-kind” glass countertop that made our new kitchen truly unique and custom. Melissa, and her coworkers at Marrokal, spent an unknown number of hours behind the scenes making sure that the size, design and engineering for this countertop would not only complement, but enhance, our kitchen. Mission accomplished. So we can highly recommend Marrokal for anyone considering a remodel of their home. Even with the challenges of working in a high-rise condominium, Marrokal's employees went above and beyond to make our remodel something that was relatively stress free, truly unique, and a finished product of which we are extremely proud and thoroughly enjoy!
