Kitchen & Bathroom Designers in Cardiff By The Sea

“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Holly Stosic at our homes in Manhattan Beach and in Arizona. The MB house remodel was a galley Kitchen and three bathrooms. The kitchen was orginally very dark and confining. We have a vaulted ceiling. Holly suggested putting in windows above the cabinets, so we wouldn’t lose storage. The outcome was beautiful and it brings in so much natural light. The cabinets are a soft gray (almost white) very coastal looking. The laundry was adjacent to the kitchen and it is all enclosed in cabinetry, so it looks like part of the kitchen. Holly put in a gray cabinet/pantry that looks like a piece of furniture. She added quartz counter tops and blue iridescent Sonoma tile. Holly suggested incorporating rustic wood shelves and a beautiful butcher block top of our adjacent bar area. In kid’s Jack and Jill suite we used Walker Zanger white crackle tile. It had so many great different pieces and allows for accessorizing as our girls grow-up. Going with the coastal theme of the house, we used a Carrera marble looking Caesarstone on the counters. All of our vanities were raised, as we are a very tall family. Holly didn’t miss a beat and she even fed our pets while we were on vacation. Our bathroom was also Walker Zanger tile, an off-white tile with soft green accent tiles. The cabinets are an off-white called linen. The powder room has a bold patterned tile on the floor and a porcelain vanity. The whole family loves the house so much. Recently, we purchased a home in the desert. Holly has such incredible listening skills. She makes the project fun and I just felt so confidant. Even when things go wrong, she is right there with a solution. I love that she doesn’t make excuses. Her team is incredible. We’re in the planning stages for our desert house, which will be very modern. I highly recommend La Costa Cabinets & Design.”

“If you want a contractor who really cares about quality workmanship and who hires qualified, trustworthy and friendly professionals to perform the job, look no further than Lonnie at Home Remodeling Center (HRC) in San Marcos. HRC remodeled our kitchen last summer and the job they did was amazing. They did such a great job, my husband and I used them again for our master bathroom remodel one year later. There is no substitute for skilled craftsmanship and the professionals that Lonnie employs are truly exceptional. HRC performed high quality work at a very competitive price. Jorge, Juan and Christian were the primary team assigned to our kitchen project. They were all so friendly and personable. I wasn’t sure exactly how I wanted the design above my stove to look so Jorge offered to cut pieces of the tile and place the glass accent pieces together like a puzzle on the counter so I could see what they would look like on the backsplash. We both moved them around until we created a design that I liked. Jorge was very patient and I’m extremely happy with the quality of his work. The kitchen backsplash and floor look beautiful and Christian did a great job installing the cabinets in the kitchen and bathroom. Gabriel was the tile specialist for our master bathroom remodel. He made some very creative suggestions and discussed each of them with me before proceeding. His recommendations enhanced the overall aesthetics of the shower, tub, fireplace and floor. Gabriel was an artist! I wanted to be involved in the selection of tiles as they were being laid so I hand-picked each tile and handed them one-by-one to Gabriel. Some people would not have welcomed having someone literally standing over their shoulder handing them the tile to be strategically placed but Gabriel didn’t mind; he was so patient with me. He did an outstanding job and the bathroom is stunning. All of the people at HRC were friendly and helpful. Nora was pleasant and my cats loved her as she verified the measurements for the cabinets. Lonnie and Michelle gave their honest opinions regarding the type of products, designs and installations. When we asked about a particular product, they stated the pros and cons. Michelle provided her expertise as a talented designer. We appreciated their input but we made the final decisions and they respected those decisions. Lonnie was very accessible when we called with questions or concerns. Chris did a great job as Project Manager for our bathroom remodel. He responded quickly to our phone calls and was easy to reach. When a rare issue occurred, it was resolved quickly and professionally. Working with the guys from HRC was a wonderful experience. They became like family. They were courteous and respectful of our home and property. They always laid out their tarps and covered surfaces before starting to work. They cleaned up everything at the end of each day. They kept on schedule and let us know what they would be doing each day. As an extra touch, after our master bathroom was completed, they supplied a house cleaning team to clean our entire house at no charge to us. That was a pleasant surprise! My husband and I would highly recommend HRC. We are already planning to use them again for our next remodel project!”

Their attention to detail, budget and time frame set them apart in this competitive market. Gregg is hands on with every project to make sure it is done right and to or above the clients expectations.”

“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'm fortunate to have known Dana and Lee for nearly 7 years. Their reputation speaks for itself. If you haven't done so already, visit their beautiful showroom on Girard Ave. The products are high quality. So many of the displays demonstrate how you can have a gorgeous, functional kitchen in small spaces.”

“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!!”

“Mary is amazing! She did a great job of coordinating and giving professional advice during the remodel of our kitchen and master suite. She has an eye for detail and design and worked so well with the installers and other professionals on the job. Thank you Mary!”

“Tracy was knowledgeable, respectful, and honest. She took the time to become familiar with our taste and our budget. We were extremely happy with the fabric choices we made and the quality of the material. We would recommend Tracy's design talents to our friends and family.”

“Remodel Works did an excellent job in following our design plans to remodel our tired bathroom, including countertop, shower, sinks, toilet, and fixtures. Resembles a luxurious Las Vegas suite. Many kudos to the contractor!!!”

“I did a whole house renovation with Art Z Design Studio that took almost 9 months, and Art Z made it a fantastic experience in every way. I interviewed five designers before I was lucky enough to meet Einat Artzi. Einat is not only fabulously creative, always responsive, incredibly detail-oriented and 100% solution-focused, she is an absolute pleasure to work with! She has solutions to every problem that may arise during a renovation (and we had many), and is never flustered; she's always professional and calm. Einat is also trained as an architect, so her knowledge of the inner workings of a home is extensive and immensely helpful throughout any remodel or renovation process. And, on top of all of that, her prices are extremely reasonable! I am using Art Z Design Studio for our next big project, which is renovating our entire outdoor space. I give my highest recommendation to Art Z Design; I would not have this beautiful, functional home without Einat Artzi and Art Z Design Studio!”
