"I highly recommend Contractor Adrian Lamb owner of Affordable Builders. I needed to find a contractor who could replace a mid-century bathtub/shower with a walk-in shower for my elderly parents and I needed the job completed as soon as possible. I contacted Adrian who graciously agreed to provide a quote on a Saturday morning. He was very professional and patient with our ideas and questions. He explained all options for our project and provided a quote including project scope later that same day. He also provided several different places to select the specific tile that my parents were looking for. The tile was selected. I notified Adrian who agreed to travel to two different locations to pick up the materials. The project started on the following Thursday as agreed at contract signing. Adrian was in constant communication responding to additional questions and providing updates. Project was completed in one week which is exactly what was promised. The shower is absolutely amazing and my parents are very happy with the workmanship of the finished project. Affordable builders worked in a very organized fashion, keeping materials, tools and all areas clean and safe throughout the project. My father asked that additional painting be done and Adrian obliged without hesitation. Overall, I highly recommend Affordable Builders for any bathroom remodeling needs. Affordable Builders provides quality workmanship at a fair price. A 5 star rating only because that is highest rating available. Sincerely, Guillermo Lopez"

As a family business we know the value of relationships. We understand the importance of treating people fairly. We work very hard every day to bring the very best in design, manufacturing, installation and follow through to every single project. Our customers have asked us to follow them to Illinois, Hawaii, Washington and from home to home here in Southern California. If we have the opportunity to work together, you will not be disappointed. We value honesty, kindness, tolerance and peace. Let's build something great together!
"Ron is the consummate professional. His firmâ s work is stellar, the project was completed on time and on budget, he is a genuinely nice and trustworthy man, and he treats the project/home as though it is his own. For example, he and his team happened to be on site when a toilet supply line blew and started to flood. Without missing a step, he repaired the leak, cleaned up the mess, and charged a fraction of what a plumber would have charged. If I were to build a new house, and I have built many, Ron would be the one I would turn to. I literally have nothing but glowing comments for Ron and team - and that is a first for me after 40 years of building/development. Well done!!"

"We sing the contract; the contractor came and measured the concrete stairs and existing broken handrail, and we got quote sing the contracts paid deposit and they came to install it just to see that the handrail they ordered was too small. Then they went silent for 2 months. It is October and we sing contract in August, we finally got response that the contractor got busy with larger projects...This is very disrespectful and non professional behavior."

Milan Design + Build, Inc. proudly serves its customers with pride, integrity and attention to the details that matter most to you. This is one of the many things that sets us apart from the rest. We are locally owned and operated. Give us a call today!
"We relocated to California 6 months ago and needed the kitchen in our new house completely gutted and remodeled before we moved in, as well as having all flooring on the main floor of the house replaced. We were a bit nervous about undertaking a project of this magnitude while still living in NJ but Milan exceeded our expectations in every way. The job was completed on time and on budget, without a single unexpected upcharge. Milan provided excellent guidance on design and material selection and all of the actual work was done by a dedicated crew of Milan employees, overseen by an extremely knowledgeable and personable foreman; no revolving cast of day workers was utilized. What also stood out was how clean the crew left the house at the end of each day. Finally, Milan refused final payment until we were 100% happy with every detail. We have already utilized Milan on a second project, which was also completed on time and on budget, and will absolutely hire them again in the future."

A small kitchen renovation requires an average of six to nine weeks from start to finish. This timeframe accounts for all phases, including demolition, installation, and finishing touches.
Projects with complex layouts or custom elements may extend beyond this timeframe, especially if you're handling portions yourself rather than hiring professionals. Material availability and contractor scheduling also influence your project duration.
The most efficient approach begins with thorough planning and securing necessary permits. Once preparations are complete, proceed with demolition, followed by rough-in work for plumbing and electrical systems. Next comes drywall installation and painting, then cabinets and countertops. Flooring installation follows, with backsplash and fixture placement completing the major components. This sequence minimizes the risk of damaging newly installed elements.
Replacing outdated appliances during your renovation often proves worthwhile, particularly for units over 10 years old. Newer models offer improved energy efficiency along with enhanced features and reliability.
Modern appliances also contribute significantly to your kitchen's overall aesthetic appeal and can become a selling point if you later decide to list your home. Consider models with energy-saving certifications that may qualify for utility rebates.
Several financing approaches exist for kitchen renovations. Options include personal savings, home equity loans or lines of credit, personal loans, or credit cards for smaller projects. The best choice depends on your financial situation, available equity, credit standing, and project timeline. Comparing interest rates and repayment terms across different financing methods helps identify the most cost-effective solution for your specific circumstances.
