"DM Building was great! Very professional and Danny, the owner gave a fair price for the amount of work that we needed for our bathroom. The crew did great professional work and knew what they were doing. Our bathroom turned out great and we are very happy with it. Highly recommend!"

"Sarah was great at getting to know what styles I liked and understanding what I really wanted my place to look like. She came back with options to choose from and adjusted just a bit after giving me room to provide my feedback. The designs came out great and people are really impressed when they come to my home. They always ask who designed it, and now you know 🤣 I highly recommend Sarah if you want similar outcomes! I really enjoy coming home everyday now, and it’s very much thanks to Sarah’s interior designs! She also helped coordinate some of the purchasing, which was super helpful, and is generally well organized. She used to work for a firm that charges much more, so you’re getting all that experience without having to pay for quite so much overhead."

"Leslie did a great job with helping us complete room addition compliance with city of San Diego. She was able to advocate for us with deflecting conditions that were not applicable to our project. She exhibited professionalism throughout the project, helping us in our favor all the way through completion. Highly recommended. Very thorough and knowledgeable with city codes, and knowing who to outreach at the city. There are multiple staffers at the city DSD that did not appear to be on the same page with what needed to be done with our project and Leslie was very capable in facilitating their mutual understanding."

"Our kitchen remodel with McCormick Home Builders went beyond our expectations. Leoni and her team took the time to understand exactly what we wanted. The open layout design changed the way we use the space, and it’s been perfect for family gatherings. They were prompt, courteous, and genuinely invested in making sure we were happy. Really impressed!"

"These people did an amazing job! Being the guy that I am my house definitely needed some new ideas. I have no clue about interior design, but working with them quickly put me at ease. So if you're looking for a company to guide you in the right direction and create something just for you, go with this interior design company!"

"I had a great experience working with Pacific Sands. The team was thorough, detail-oriented, and highly responsive throughout the process. What stood out most was their ability to combine technical accuracy with practical design solutions. They took the time to address questions, explain design considerations, and adjust details when needed — all without sacrificing quality or efficiency. Would definitely recommend!"

"We couldnâ t be happier with our remodel. New Wave Design and Build owner Eran Ozeri and his team were very easy to work with; their attention to details impressive. Eran understood our vision and transformed the entire upper level of our home into a beautiful new living space. His communication skills are impressive, he contacted us daily and gave us updates throughout the build process. Eran takes great pride in his work. He went above and beyond to ensure that we were happy with all elements of the remodel. Whenever the project encountered a problem Eran always figured out a solution that did not compromise the plan/design. We will definitely be using New Wave for our next project, and have already recommended him to several of our friends."

"Jessa was wonderful to work with! She explained the process in a way I could understand, was prompt with communications and I actually enjoyed it. She told me building a house might lead to building more and I can see why. It's immensely satisfying to design something and then see it come to life! We were told the drafting would be 3-5 weeks and we took every bit of 5 weeks because we really wanted to take our time in between each revision. I'm glad they didn't hurry us because as a family we did not agree on certain details quickly. Love our forever home and so glad we chose the right place for the design and drafting."
