John Swarm brought my kitchen from a quirky, small, basic, dated, and sort of functional kitchen with lots of wasted space to a beautiful, inviting, upscale kitchen with more storage and better use of space all within in the same footprint. The project involved moving a window, moving the stove vent, complete demolition down to the studs, replumbed, new electrical, canned lights, electrical panel, island, cabinets, and countertops, sink, range, and relocating the refrigerator to make room for an entire new wall of upper and lower cabinets. It took about 6 weeks from demolition to functional, with a few weeks added to fine tune a few minor details. My home is one hundred years old so it goes without saying there were some challenges that with John's expertise, we were able to work around with great results. I am thrilled with my new updated, reconfigured kitchen thanks to John. See attached Before & After pictures!

We cannot say enough about the great experience we had with John, Oscar, and the team of contractors that worked on our home over the past year. We live in a pre-1950s home that was in sorely need of an upgrade, especially to our kitchen and bathrooms. Our kitchen and laundry room areas were cramped and lacking in storage, our guest bathroom could barely fit one person, our main bathroom had a difficult layout, and safety issues like old wiring and windows that would not open easily. We received estimates and design proposals from multiple contractors but were immediately impressed by the design ideas that John suggested for our home. John helped us through all aspects of our project from the design, plans, permitting, to cabinet and materials selection. Working with Oscar and his team of workers every day was also so easy. The workmanship, flexibility, communication and cleanliness was beyond anything we could have ever expected. Our project was full of challenges from COVID to permit and supply chain delays to the birth of our son. But, John and Oscar were there to help us navigate through it all. Our home and overall living experience has been transformed. The pictures do not do justice to all the work that was completed. We now have a beautiful, functional kitchen in an open floor plan, two new beautiful bathrooms, gorgeous new windows, and plumbing and electrical up to code. In fact, we were all so pleased with the first phase of work, we also added in a new linen cabinet and refreshed all of our bedrooms with new paint, crown molding, baseboards, and doors. We are so grateful to John, Oscar, and the team. We highly recommend them for your next project.

We are undertaking a massive renovation, and John's expertise and approach have been nothing short of fabulous. He is knowledgeable about materials and local stores, and shares really great ideas on everything from structural elements to decor. He has been timely, reliable and flexible with us as we navigate hectic schedules. Beyond that, he brings fresh energy to a long project at every twist and turn. We highly recommend working with John.

We just finished our second remodeling project with John Swarm and his crew. The reason we went with him again was that he is a ‘one stop shop’ from the idea and design to completion. And the quality of Oscar’s team is always superb. John coordinated with all vendors through challenges and shortages of COVID. At the end we got our beautiful modern kitchen that we dreamt of for many years, eye catching staircase, beautiful floors, one of a kind fireplace and more. Practically brand new home. We would recommend John Swarm for any home improvement project because he delivers.

We have used John's expertise on two kitchens now. Sadly, we had to remodel our kitchens every time we moved, but John made them worthwhile. He is on top of the details, very accommodating, and is very knowledgeable about style and functionality. His crew was efficient, hard working, thorough, and, importantly, honest. Would highly recommend and would certainly use him again if we were ever to move yet again and be faced with the same dilemma of needing a new kitchen.

Thank you Nelson, I appreciate the review it helps clients to make the decision to work with my company!!

Recently had my Master Bedroom and Bathroom removed with John's design/coordination and Oscar and his crew of contractors. Unfortunately, while we were in the process of this, the pandemic hit. This meant slower timelines and limited availability of supplies. Despite all this, John was able created a plastic partition between the work area and where we were at (working from home) in order to still be able to socially distance. The crew all had masks, observed respectful distances, and cleaned up at the end of each day. Our original design choices had to be modified due to limited availability and showroom closures. John was able to navigate around this and came up with difference ideas in order to keep the project going instead of leaving us with a gaping hole. This was VERY much appreciated! As Oscar put it, he treats each job like it's working on his own house. The quality of work really shows the care that went into it. We plan to work with them again soon and look forward to the next project.

I just completed a major remodeling project with John Swarm as the project designer and manager. A few points: First, the project was promised to be completed before Thanksgiving. It was. A statement that astounded some of my friends with horror stories of projects that dragged on and on and on. Second, Oscar and his team did wonderful work. They showed up on time and as promised. I was particularly impressed with the painting - my home is a complex and difficult painting project. Third, working with John was wonderful! He has excellent taste and a clear design sense. I am an artist and highly visually oriented. I had definite design ideas, some of which would have been extremely expensive to implement. He guided changes to those ideas, leading to results that were less expensive but preserved the unique design elements I wanted. In short, we had a successful collaboration. This is the second project that I have done with John and I recommend him without reservation.

We did a huge project with John Swarm's design hive group. We completely remodeled 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, upstairs landing, stairs and created a large closet. John is an awesome visionary and helped us come up with ideas we had not imagined before. Oscar is a great contractor and his team was polite and professional. The finished project was as promised and John kept accurate track of the progress and expenses along the way. Would highly recommend this group.

Comment from The Swarm Design Hive Remodeling Group:

It was a pleasure working with you and Kevin. The project turned out better than I imagined. Master and Guest Baths and the Flooring truly changed the 2nd floor and Staircase. Thank you both for your confidence in our abilities!
Agreed Kitchen Bath Renovations Inc. Anaheim is amazing!!

NELSON GARCIA

John's design touch was superb and he always came by to check on the quality of the work for our kitchen remodel done by his guys. In fact, at one point, he ordered a new cabinet because the one that was used was not quite right. Very much appreciated his focus on detail and he kept us informed. Would definitely recommend.

John did a great job with my kitchen renovation. He was creative and offered his input on my kitchen cabinet choices and paired it well to the colors I picked for the countertop. He was very hard working and willing to put in time to meet the schedule we set out to finishing the kitchen. Always keeping you in the loop of what is going on and the next part to the renovation. Thanks John for my beautiful kitchen.

KCE did an amazing job on our remodel and I absolutely love my new kitchen! John Swarm did a fantastic job at laying out our design and Sal, Rudy, Jose, etc. were all trustworthy, conscientious and hard working throughout the remodel. Everyone who sees the transformation can't believe it's the same house!! The original design morphed into a much bigger project as did our timeline, but I have no regrets. Love the results!

Thank you KCE for a job well done. I remodeled my kitchen, half bath, fireplace and flooring including stairs and I couldn’t be happier with how it all turned out. I can truthfully say it exceeded my expectations. Everyone involved was very professional and helpful. The designer John Swarm was especially helpful in helping me design my dream kitchen and pick out all the material I needed to make that happen. He was in constant contact with me throughout the process to ensure that I knew what was happening and to make sure everything was to my satisfaction. The crew was very professional and cleaned up after themselves at the end of everyday. The job was completed on schedule without any issues. I would highly recommend KCE. Thank you John Swarm for making this remodeling experience easy and ensuring all my remodeling needs were met.
