Shawn took a look around, listened to what I had in mind, and thankfully told me what would or wouldn't work. He picked a beautiful quartz counter top, gave me options to choose from for the paint, faucet and hardware. He has a great team working for him. They were respectful and trustworthy. The refinished cabinets look like new. They do high quality work. He made his best effort to get things done within the time frame discussed but, as with any renovation, there were some unexpected issues that led to minor delays and affected cost. I really appreciated how his main concern was that I was happy with the end result. Before and in process photos attached (forgot to take a picture of the final product and don't want to clean the kitchen right now).

4.5 stars We did a…read morefull kitchen remodel soon after moving into our new home (before we got too settled). Due to unusual circumstances, we had a very tight timeline (see below for more details) so they were able to finish in 2 1/2 months. Overall, we are very happy with the end result and love our new, open layout! TL:DR version: - GREAT construction team/vendors and Fadil is the BEST project manager. Also the flooring contractor, Izec, is amazing. - Loved the design recommendations made by Shawn, like the floating shelves and bench by the window. - Pricing is competitive. Quality of work is fantastic. Designs are beautiful. - Area of improvement: better communication throughout the project. I had to be proactive and ask a lot of questions and follow up often. They offer both design and construction services, all under the same owner. This was convenient in that I only had to deal with one company and they took care of everything. Our project was unusual in that I was 6 months pregnant when we started the project. Typically, they don't start on construction until all materials are in stock but we needed to get things moving and completed quickly, so we ordered mostly standard sized and in-stock materials. The owner, Shawn, kept his promise on adhering to our timeline to the best of his ability, even as we ran into challenges with plumbing, structural, and electrical. His team worked tirelessly--even on weekends--to meet our deadline, without sacrificing quality or details. With any major construction, nothing is flawless. The one challenge I had, which may be unique to my circumstance, was getting proactive updates and just overall communication. At times, the construction team didn't even know what they were working on. Some of the designs didn't match the materials ordered. There was some miscommunication on which materials we were responsible for vs. what they would get for us. These were minor issues that eventually got resolved but it did cause me some stress and unrest. Highly recommend being proactive, with any big construction project, and staying close to the details... At the end of the day, despite some bumps, we now have our dream kitchen! And it was completed in record time! Last but not least, if you're told that any materials are "stuck" at the Oakland port, GET SOMETHING ELSE that's in stock. There is no ETA on when things will get unloaded at the dock...could be weeks or even months.

Well, I quickly figured out that I was a fish out of water without my normal team and contacts to assist in getting the home ready and staged. I found Natalie and her team at Casa Di Vita here on yelp. I placed several calls to different staging companies with either no response or just terrible customer service. Natalie returned my call quickly and was helpful from the get-go. We clicked immediately because we both like to get things done, and have high expectations of ourselves and our team. She assisted me in finding a photographer and a cleaning person as well. From seeing examples of her work, I knew she would do a great job in staging the home. She stuck to her schedule, and did a beautiful job of getting the home looking stylish and welcoming to potential buyers. I would highly recommend Natalie and Casa Di Vita Staging. Her advice throughout this process has been invaluable and I cannot be more grateful for her kind partnership in this adventure.

Jennifer worked with us listening carefully to our desires, tried to work collaboratively with us though I leaned on her heavily for her ideas. She helped us design a beautiful bathroom, had great people for us to work with, and did all the interfacing with them for us. She designed a beautiful built in cabinet that works with the flow of movement with a granite countertop. She particularly focused on light and textures given our darkish 1942 home. She worked closely with us, was always available, found us economical choices of materials, and is very personable and warm. One day after the remodel when the light was shining in, I fell in love with our light and airy and perfectly functioning bathroom. Thank you Jennifer for our beautiful bathroom and the positive experience.
