“Michelle helped us with a kitchen remodel. She is so enthusiastic and fun to work with! She was an enormous help and very patient with the decision making process and able to accommodate the ideas most important to me to make them work. Her staff and contacts are courteous and professional. She runs a tight ship providing a timely completion. We are now moving right along with the remodel of 2 guest bathrooms in spite of "these troubling times." She has great ideas that save the day and perseveres to make sure there is an element of fun in the project. Michelle truly loves what she does!” - Pat, Rancho Santa Fe

“My wife and I are not exactly wizards when it comes to design. Enter Michelle, who helped us design and build our new kitchen and family room. She and her workforce are consummate professionals. All work was done timely and very well. The bulk of the work was done in 5 weeks. We are thrilled and love it every time we walk into those rooms. This was approx. a year and a half ago. We are now doing two bathroom renovations and have once again brought on Michelle and her team. We have worked out the design and are in the process of ordering materials. Based on our prior experience, we are entering into this project with comfort and confidence. We cannot recommend Michelle too highly. Her field general, Eric, is about the hardest working guy I have ever met and I have personally worked on a host of construction projects in my younger days. Go with the best.” - Bill, Rancho Santa Fe

“We have a pretty big project going on in our backyard. We are adding a pool, an outdoor room, new bbq island, fire pit, all new plants and turf. We hired Michelle to help us pick out all the materials we need for the job. Our first two meetings were face to face and then the social distancing and quarantine started in our area. We were already mid project and needed to keep going, so Michelle quickly adapted her business to an online service. She has still been very present and available to meet with us and discuss the material selections for our project online. I knew the first time we met that she got my style and vision for our backyard. I honestly could not have done our project without her. She has been so instrumental in making or style come to life. I highly recommend Michelle and can’t wait to have her do our full kitchen remodel in the fall.” - Dana, Carlsbad

“Michelle is a great designer and pays great attention to detail. I love the kitchen she helped me to design. She picked up right away on the colors and style I was looking for and then helped me find the prefect combination. I waited a long time for my dream kitchen and Michelle gave it to me in 4 weeks, with very little disruption to our home. Her contractors were on time, very professional and kept the construction area clean so there was no tracking of dust and dirt. I have a small dog and they made friends with her, she misses them all now that the job is done. I can not say enough how happy I am with the work and my new kitchen.” - Peggy Carlsbad
