"I’m So Happy With My New Kitchen! I had my kitchen remodeled recently by CA Cabinets Inc., and I couldn’t be happier with the results. The quality was outstanding — beautiful materials, smooth drawers, elegant countertops, and a clean, modern design that completely transformed my home. Lior and his team were professional, quick, and very easy to work with. They kept everything clean, communicated clearly, and delivered results that exceeded my expectations. I’m truly thrilled with my new kitchen. If you’re thinking about remodeling, this is the company you want to hire!"

"They did a beautiful job. They even had to cut around a number of decorative rocks. When we were restricted to watering twice a week outdoors my backyard lawn died within two weeks—-it gets full sun. I was nervous about artificial turf because I didn’t know anyone who had it, but the guarantee on the high quality material is very good. There is a lot of labor required to get the ground ready for the artificial turf. Hye Turf Designs has great people. Ask for Hutch——he is the co-ownerof the company."

"Excellent architectural design service. Franco and his team help guide you and educate you as to the permit process. The design for my ADU turned out great. The 3D rendition was awesome. You get great service at a reasonable price."

"Ramy and his team did a meticulous, fast job replacing the mismatched and beaten up baseboards in our house. Very friendly, communicative, and flexible around our availability. Would definitely hire them again."

"Our backyard has multiple, disconnected garden zones, so we chose to use a flagstone patio and walkway system to connect the zones, seating areas, and planting beds. They designed the layout to maintain smooth transitions and even elevation for proper drainage. The patio covers roughly 1,150 square feet, including connecting pathways. Mortar joints were kept to a minimum to preserve a natural look. We appreciate this multi-zone patio as it has improved our movement around and visually ties different garden areas together."

"INA Kitchens designed and remodeled the 2 kitchens at our house. At first we started with the main kitchen and during the work, we also designed the kitchen at the guest house. During the work, they were very skilled, honest, creative and professional. Those advantages are the main things that we looked for in order to have a beautifully finished product. During the work, they were available for us via phone calls and always got back to us in a fairly time manner. The 2 kitchens are much stunning and functional than we originally wanted. We highly recommend INA Kitchens."

"3d design brought to life!!!! So as anyone else would be - I was a little hesitant about moving forward with such a big project. I called a few companies in my area (well 10 be exact!) and Encore Builders was one of them. First meeting: Brandon and Oz came by to scope out the area and take some measurements. I have never done such a big project and expressed my concerns and they recommended we do a 3d design so that I can see what the outcome will look like. I was detailed in how I wanted everything to look and feel. I even had a little Pinterest board put together of the patio furniture I wanted so I showed that to Brandon and Oz and they ended up including it in the 3d design. You can tell theyâ re very experienced not only in the work itself but the design aspect. They were hands on throughout the whole experience and it made me comfortable in my decision in moving forward with them. They also showed me a lot of impressive before and afters so I knew what to expect quality wise. Second meeting: they came over and presented the 3d design. I WAS STUNNED. The rendered design looked beautiful and looked even better than the vision I had in my head. It was a no brainer for me to choose Encore Builders. It gave me the reassurance I needed to start this project. It looked so realistic and was obviously tailored to my backyard measurements so it was really to see how it would look in real life! Right then and there we set up a start date for a few days later. The outcome looked exactly like the 3d design - I was beyond impressed. Brandon , Oz and their whole crew truly work from the heart. You can tell they love what they do and do it with a smile on their face. Their customer service skills are 11/10 and they really are the best!"

FAQs for design and decorating projects in Universal City, CA

Start by defining your goals and budget. Collect photos of rooms you love, jot down must-have features, and list what isn’t working in your current space. Share these details—and your target budget—during the first meeting. The clearer you are, the quicker a designer can translate your vision into a workable plan and keep costs in check.

Yes, working with an interior designer can help you save money. Designers prevent costly missteps, secure trade discounts on furniture and finishes, and coordinate the project so you don’t pay twice for the same work. Their upfront fee often pays for itself in avoided change orders, tighter timelines, and materials purchased at below-retail pricing.

A full interior design project wraps up in two to three months, on average, while a decorating job takes four to eight weeks. Timelines stretch if you add structural changes, custom millwork, or specialty materials, and unexpected shipping or permit delays can tack on extra days. Talk with your designer about project milestones and build in a little wiggle room.

Interview at least three pros whose portfolios match your style. Review their credentials and ask for references. During a face-to-face or virtual meeting, discuss your goals, budget, and timeline, and make sure their communication style and fee structure feel comfortable. The right designer combines technical know-how with a creative approach that clicks with you.
