"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"

"We had an amazing experience from start to finish. The communication alone set them apart. Martha and the entire team were responsive, clear, and genuinely cared about making sure everything was done right. The crew was professional, respectful, and kept the space clean throughout the remodel, which we truly appreciated. Their design options were incredibly modern and stylish; honestly, far more elevated than what we saw from larger chain competitors. They were also very cost-efficient without cutting corners, which is rare to find. The quality of the work, the attention to detail, and the overall experience exceeded our expectations. If you?re looking for a remodeling company that combines great design, excellent communication, and real craftsmanship, Premier Home Remodeling is it."

"I had Sunset Design & Build redo my kitchen, replace all the flooring, and install new windows throughout the house. From the first meeting, I felt like I was in good hands. Isaac was easy to talk to, gave great suggestions without being pushy, and kept things moving. The new kitchen layout is way more practical, the flooring looks amazing, and the windows made the house feel brighter and quieter. They finished right on schedule, and the whole process was surprisingly low-stress. Definitely recommend them if you’re planning a remodel."

"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."

"I dont usually write reviews as I hate to write. However, the service received from Friends & Brothers was so exceptional I felt compelled to do so. I cannot express how happy and satisfied I am! I do not have the words. Professional, Reliable, Considerate (of me and my home), Neat, Clean, Polite, Respectful, Cost Effective, Friendly, and Thorough come to mind. They called when they were on their way and actually arrived early which is generally unheard of. I was pleasantly surprised. What I thought was a small plumbing issue was in reality a much bigger problem. Jair ended up having to replace my toilets since the parts needed are no longer made/readily available. He also completed a couple other small tasks for me (electrical, etc). Even with all the extra work the total cost was still less than my usual plumber quoted for the small repair. Jair was a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend him and his company, Friends & Brothers!"

"Review time! Are you sure you want me to review EG Construction? The answer is, of course! Time has passed a bit since Elias and crew completed the project for our home here in San Diego. I just did not have the time to sit down and focus on a review for this company, but I do have time now. The guys who showed up to do the work were great. Communications from the group was excellent, no issues at all while we worked from home. The engineered wood flooring looks amazing and I really appreciate the care they took to provide a high-quality job while completing it within our agreed time schedule. Elias had no issue working this project through the holidays (it was almost Christmas), but good thing it was completed prior to that! Kudos to the crew for working so diligently and at the same time keeping the level of quality in check. No one is perfect, could there be something that they could do to improve? Sure, letâ s just say we were glad that we were not in a rush to get this project done. E.G. Construction was a bit slow to get back with estimates and follow ups on material prices. Talk about the price, their estimates were in line with other bids we received. Yes, we did shop around and almost went to another contractor, however, my wife leaned towards giving E.G. Construction an opportunity. In any case, the job was done right and thatâ s the most important thing that mattered. This is a family company, so I understand not all process is perfect so I did not mind for some of the communication delays. Paola was straightforward and easy to work with when we got in touch, she also was able to get me an answer when I asked. Also, maybe our home project is really small compared to what they are usually chasing after. Elias seemed to always act responsible and I love his stylish fashion outfit (I like his fashionable glasses the day he showed up for a final follow up with me). Not only do I recommend E.G. Construction, but we do not believe we are done with their services. Labor in general is not cheap, but quality service is not an option and I believe E.G. Construction provides excellent quality. Since we have enough left-over material to replace other carpet areas, we hope E.G. Construction will be our partner in that future project."

FAQs for kitchen remodel projects in La Jolla, CA

Your galley kitchen needs adequate clearance around any island installation to maintain functionality. Most galley kitchens lack sufficient width for traditional islands, as these layouts prioritize efficiency in smaller spaces. 

If your kitchen has an unusual width, consult with a kitchen designer who can evaluate your specific dimensions and recommend appropriate solutions. For narrower spaces, consider alternatives like rolling carts or narrow work tables that provide additional surface area without permanently restricting movement.

Kitchen remodels require six to 10 weeks for completion, though timelines vary based on project scope and material availability. Simple updates like cabinet refinishing and countertop replacement might finish within a few weeks, while comprehensive renovations involving structural changes often extend beyond two months. 

Planning stages add approximately four weeks before construction begins. Maintaining clear communication with your contractor and ordering materials early helps prevent unnecessary delays.

Common errors include insufficient clearance between opposing countertops, inadequate lighting that creates shadowy work areas, and poor storage planning that leaves countertops cluttered. Some homeowners select oversized appliances that overwhelm the space or invest in expensive features that don't address fundamental workflow issues. 

Careful planning, accurate measurements, and consultation with experienced professionals help avoid these pitfalls and ensure your renovation successfully addresses your kitchen's specific challenges.

Whether expansion makes sense depends on your home's layout, your budget, and your long-term plans. Combining a galley kitchen with neighboring spaces creates more open, flexible layouts that many buyers prefer. However, removing walls involves substantial costs, particularly if they contain plumbing, electrical systems, or structural elements. 

Sometimes, optimizing your existing galley layout through better storage solutions and lighting proves more cost-effective than expansion. Consult with a contractor to evaluate specific costs for your situation.

Effective galley kitchen lighting combines multiple sources to eliminate shadows and create visual spaciousness. Overhead fixtures provide general illumination, while under-cabinet lighting illuminates work surfaces directly. Consider recessed ceiling fixtures that don't protrude into limited headspace. 

Lighting with dimming capabilities allows adjustment for different activities. Reflective surfaces like glass tile backsplashes or glossy cabinet finishes help bounce light throughout the space, reducing the corridor effect common in galley layouts.
