Morse Custom Homes and Remodeling

We have consulted with Morse on two projects over the past two years. We had all of the usual hesitations when first contacting them but found that all concerns were allayed immediately. Every single member of their organization is as responsible and talented as they could possibly be. From first call, through design work, estimates and construction, they were supportive and engaged. We are perfectly satisfied. Perfectly. If you're having any hesitation about making contact with them, don't hesitate!

We wanted to add an outdoor room to the back of our house. Morse Custom Homes and Remodeling helped us design it, and then built it. The designers, Diana and Ricardo, were excellent. They was meticulous and explained both their suggestions and the reasons behind them. They was very good at incorporating our ideas and thoughts. As for the construction, Morse did a great job of building the outdoor room. The quality of the work was wonderful. And Marty Morse is a pleasure to work with; he knows his stuff, and how to manage the work. All in all, we are very happy with both the process and the result. Kudos to Marty and his staff -- the quality shows they love what they do!

The board of directors of a sorority house corporation engaged Morse to design/build a major renovation of one of the original custom homes in Davis, CA. The home is listed as an historic property and is about 100 years old. It's service transitioned from housing families to use by the sorority in 1982. The project focuses were complete plumbing replacement, renovation of the kitchen and bath areas, upgrade to heating and air, and installation of new floors. Morse worked with us for a couple of years before actual construction began in March 2020. Their representatives were patient, helpful, creative, sensitive, honest, and understanding as we worked to obtain the funding and approvals necessary to begin work. Their communication and responsiveness during design and construction were stellar. We also found using Buildertrend during construction to be easy and helpful. Miraculously, there were really no unpleasant surprises when the walls were opened, a tribute to the original craftsmen. The only glitch was with an appliance supplier and that was remedied quickly. The project came in on time and within expected budget parameters. Morse's craftsmanship is beautiful and of the highest quality. The young women who live there are thrilled with the improvements and our board feels we've given a beautiful and important old home many years of new life. It would be a pleasure to work with the Morse team again.

Our home was built in 1941. After a couple of past remodels and improvements, it lacked a unifying style. Due to its age, it needed some serious repair work overall. We wanted to remodel multiple rooms and extend our space, especially the kitchen and master bedroom area. After interviewing various companies, we selected Morse Custom Home and Remodeling for this task. Design Manager Ricardo Almanza is a true visionary. He was able to completely transform our home from a somewhat awkward and old-fashioned living space into an inviting, stylish, and functional one. We are also very grateful for the support of Interior Designer Diana Machado. With her great sense of style and color, she guided many of our choices sdown to the smallest details. During the planning phase, Morse encouraged our participation in the decision-making process, scheduling regular meetings with Richardo Almanza, Diana Machado, and if need, other members of the Morse team. These sessions served to exchange ide

I had been looking for an experienced and proven full-service company that would provide design, engineering, County permitting, HOA approval, construction, and interior decorating services under one roof, so I selected Morse Custom Homes and Remodeling, and I'm really glad that I did. I have always enjoyed the creative process and was glad to have a voice during the efficiently and professionally executed meetings (clients can be involved as little or as much as they desire). I also appreciated having the designer's input while working with my ideas as well as his own suggestions and touches - the fireplace surround finish that ties to materials in the kitchen is a stunning example, and one I would not have been able to create myself. Upon the advice of the Morse team, we used the Houzz App to find inspiration and communicate concepts and desired architectural examples, which was an extremely helpful tool. Additionally, the Morse designer provided me with CAD images of elevation/floor plans and amazingly useful 3D images that could be panned as if walking through the rooms. These were emailed to me, so I could view them on my laptop at home, which allowed me to see features and address many issues before and during construction. Throughout the various stages of construction, the project manager and the designer would conduct job walks with me so that details could be completed to my satisfaction. Older homes present unforeseen challenges. Ours was a 1970's 3300 sq. ft. townhouse, and the Morse team tackled every obstacle extremely well. Furthermore, their relationship with suppliers and sub-contractors (electricians, plumbers, etc.) is strong, so these issues could be dealt with relatively quickly. I also challenged the team with desired features and complexities that often were unfamiliar to them, and they willingly incorporated all of them. They learned to install an energy efficient low-voltage whole house floor heating system (Step Warm system), programable (hidden) motorized Lutron shades, custom lighting throughout, a prewired shaft (now a closet) for a future elevator, and Miele appliances with full panel overlays for Euro custom kitchen cabinetry. The result is a truly custom, extraordinary, state-of-the-art, well executed, comfortable home. While remodeling projects are often stressful, the Morse team went out of their way to minimize the impacts on me, always offering ingenious solutions at every hurtle. I highly recommend Morse Custom Homes & Remodeling.

Two successful remodel jobs with Morse. First was large upstairs addition and extensive improvements to make the home energy efficient. Recent job was complete kitchen remodel and conversion of bathroom for disabled access. Final product breathtaking. Design and engineering excellent. All subcontractors knew their trades, workmanship without flaw.. Workers polite, knowledgeable, and thorough. Outstanding craftsmanship. Any glitches were handily remedied. Office staff always responsive to my needs. Highly recommend!

We recently completed our family room fireplace remodel. We hired Morse construction for the design and construction. They did a fantastic job with the design and stayed on budget. Ilaina was an outstanding designer and she really listened to us to give us exactly what we wanted. She was thorough and very detail oriented. Ron was our lead project person and he kept regularly in touch with us and made sure the remodel was the least disruptive. We highly recommend Morse construction for any remodeling for your home.

We contracted with Morse to re-do two bathrooms in our house...the downstairs guest bath and the upstairs master bath. Marty Morse and his team was an absolute pleasure to work with, start to finish. And they were very accommodating of my unusual plan that I would build all the cabinetry. I had a very specific vision for the cabinetry so that it would blend well with other furniture pieces I had built earlier for the master bedroom. The guest bath was a standard shower-in-a-tub design. We wanted the tub removed and a stall shower built in its place. The master bath had a small stall shower and a giant Jacuzzi tub that we have not used for years because it wastes too much water. We wanted it removed, a nicer, larger stall shower built in, the vanities moved to the the other side of the room, and a large bay window removed. The design team of Ricardo and Kathy was really outstanding and helped us develop a floor plan that met our vision. And once they understood the wood selections I had in mind for the cabinets, they greatly aided and simplified the selections of tile and counter tops. The lead carpenter on our project, Ron Base, oversaw all aspects of the work and was a wealth of information. Besides being incredibly skilled, he was a really nice guy with a great sense of humor. He was a joy to work with throughout the project. I was also very impressed with the trades people they brought in to do the plumbing, electrical, sheetrock, stucco, tile setting and painting. The people who did the tile work (there was a team of two people) worked steadily for almost two full weeks and I consider them nothing less than artists. The highest compliment I can pay to the Morse team is that they were so good, we're going to have hem back next year to re-do our kitchen. And we know before we even start, it will be spectacular!

Working with Morse Custom Homes and Remodeling was a wonderful experience. From the design phase to the demolition right through to the amazing finished product I was impressed with everyone's professionalism and grateful for their knowledge and support. My ancient bathroom is now, as my son told his friend, probably the nicest room in the house. Ricardo and Kathy took a tiny space and reimagined it to feel luxurious...while including every feature on my list of wants. Steve and all his crew were considerate and professional and made the designers' ideas come to life. Their meticulous work makes me confident that the quality of the finished bathroom will endure for a long time to come. And they did it all in a timely manner, coming in right on schedule despite the usual surprises one finds in remodeling. The fact that I had no worries or panic as walls and floors were ripped open and plumbing rerouted is a testament to the organizational system Marty has developed. I am sincerely grateful!

We hired Morse Remodeling to remodel our kitchen, downstairs bathroom, and laundry room. I enjoyed working with his designers on our project, and was very happy with the final results.

We were very impressed with the knowledge, helpfulness, orderliness and timeliness of Morse Remodeling. Our project was extensive, remodeling ~2/3 of our home. We had to continue to live in our home during the construction and Morse accommodated our needs in scheduling the phases of the project. From design to implementation to completion of the work the process was seamless as each trade partner did their part. The trade partners were courteous, competent and cleanly. The unforeseen complications were dealt with fairly and quickly. The cost came in at or below budget and the city inspectors approved every phase easily. The project was completed on time.

I had a thoroughly great experience working with Morse. I was looking for a company that would take the reigns on my project and handle each step from the design phase through the construction. I was able to have a highly professional, worry-free remodel working with someone that I had confidence in who in turn had conscientious, caring employees that were a pleasure to have working on my home. I chose Morse because of their reputation for quality and I was not disappointed.
