We worked with this company 5 years ago for our kitchen and recently hired them again for an addition including bedroom and bathroom The project took about two months and was handled professionally from start to finish. They were always on top of things, very clean and organized, and easy to work with. They showed great responsibility and stayed on schedule. Very happy with the results highly recommend! read more

I'm giving Milan Design + Build four stars for my recent bathroom remodel. There was a lot to like about the process, but a few technical design choices kept it from being a perfect five-star experience. The Pros: Permit Handling: They were fantastic at expediting the permit process with the city. Especially Sean and Abigail for calling the city almost daily. This saved me a massive headache and kept the project moving forward. Flexibility: Sean Shlomo Norianl was the project manager and Martin was the site manager. They were both friendly and open to talking over about the plan, especially when I point out potential issues. The whole work crew were also easy to work with and accommodating to my schedule and requests. Aesthetics: The overall finish and "look" of the bathroom is beautiful. The craftsmanship on the tiling and fixtures is visually high-end. The Cons: The "functional" design of the shower floor missed the mark for me: Extreme Grading: The slope toward the drain is quite aggressive. It feels noticeably "sunken in" when you stand in it, which is a bit jarring compared to the rest of the floor. Door Clearance: They opted not to install a raised ledge (curb) for the glass door. Because the door sits so low to the ground, it cannot swing outward if there is a bath mat placed outside. It's a small detail that has a big impact on how I use the space daily. Bottom Line: I would recommend them for their efficiency and professionalism, but I'd advise future clients to be very specific about the technical layout of everything and check the work to make sure you are happy with everything. If you are not, tell Sean right away. UPDATE: Sean reached out and offer to make the shower flooring right. This is why I would always recommend working with Sean and his crew because they will work with you. I'm updating the review to a 5 star. read more

I was so impressed by my neighbors kitchen remodel that I called Milan. The project manager, Sean, came to visit me and gave me a reasonable Estimate for a full kitchen remodel. They were able to start right away and start to finish, demo to new kitchen took 8 1/2 days! I was impressed by their attention to detail and their willingness to listen to my wants and preferences. They covered everything possible with plastic to abate the dust, repaired my "older house " flaws so the installation would be perfect, and cleaned up after themselves every day. Sean was in contact with me several times a day, whether by phone or a personal visit. He really cared how I was handling the disruption and whether I was pleased with the progress. It was a little inconvenient, but definitely not an unpleasant experience. Here's the transformation in pictures. What you can't see is that every corner is available for use. No more inaccessible corners of cupboards. and I now have much more counter space. Thank you, Milan Design and Build, Sean and all the crew. read more

The floors came out beautifully. But the highlight was the new guest bathroom! Everything came together perfectly. The most impressive was the shower replacing the outdated bathtub! My representative with Milan Design and Build is Sean Shlomo Noriani. Sean was available for any questions and helping to design our bathroom and flooring. He is in constant communication. His staff were very knowledgeable and friendly. They did a terrific job! read more

Milan is sooooo amicable and cool and professional - a great listener to the wants, vision, needs and desires of the customer- and candid enough to offer technical advice for the "Can Dos" vs can't do - with options! He's networked with the trades and engineer professional to make a dream (cost effectively) come true! He does his homework and understands the bureaucracies of California building - and streamlines the approach to getting the job done well! read more

We had our kitchen and family room remodeled. From our first meeting with Sean Shlomo Noriani he listened to our vision for the remodel and provided options for making our vision come true. He was extremely patient with our questions and concerns and answered each in detail. All of the professional trade workers in our home treated us and our home with respect and cleanliness. They were all on time and arrived when Sean said they would. We were so impressed with the quality of our custom cabinets, hard wood floors, the electrical and plumbing work. All top notch! Sean is not only an awesome contractor but has a fantastic eye for design and color. Sean is extremely quick to respond to calls and texts and he is always available. He was at our home each and every day of our project; sometimes multiple times a day during our project. We are not just happy with our remodel project we are elated!! We highly recommend Milan Design and Build and particularly Sean Schlomo Noriani. read more

We hired Milan Design & Build to refurbish & remodel an investment property that was flooded. They responded same day and started work the following day. Sean and crew finished the entire scope of drywall replacement, new subfloor and flooring, kitchen cabinets and more on schedule and within budget. In addition, there were no noise complaints or issues with other tenants, and I received compliments from the HOA on the cleanliness and timeliness of the work. Sean and crew just started another project that includes reframing, new deck, and stucco and they are ahead of schedule and off to a great start. I highly recommend Milan Design & Build for both remodeling, renovation, and new construction. read more

We hired Milan Design Build for a full remodel of our 10'x10' kitchen and to replace flooring in approximately 800 square feet of our adjacent living room and hallway. Sean provided a quote of $35,000, which I agreed to quickly, expecting a high level of service and professionalism at that price point. One of the first disappointments was learning that flooring materials were not included. I paid separately for laminate flooring, though I wish I had been informed about more durable options like engineered hardwood, which were never discussed. From the first day of construction, it was clear our home and belongings were not being protected. During demolition and throughout the three-week project, furniture was left uncovered, moved outside, and exposed to concrete grinding and drywall sanding. Our couch had footprints, TVs were coated in dust, and our dining table was used to hold toolboxes. Much of our furniture was damaged during the process. Despite being told a portable restroom would be onsite, none was provided on the first day. That evening, we had to clean gray sludge from our bathroom sink. Although a port-a-potty was delivered the next day after we complained, our bathroom was again left dirty, including urine on the toilet and trash left behind. The crew consistently showed little regard for our home. Furniture and even a brand-new stovetop were left outside overnight. Multiple dining chairs were damaged, two living room tables were scratched, our refrigerator and oven were damaged, and our leather barstools were punctured. For a company charging premium prices, basic protections like plastic covering for furniture, drop cloths for outdoor areas, and daily cleanup should be standard. Instead, we regularly found screws in our driveway and debris left behind. At the end of the project, Sean initially offered $1,700 in compensation for damages. When I pointed out additional issues--including missing leftover flooring, poorly painted baseboards, and incomplete work--an additional $100 was added so I could pay someone else to repaint. A crew member was sent back to connect the exhaust fan and attempt to fix visible footprints in the flooring. What concerned me most was that Sean began requesting final payment several days before the work was actually completed. I was also disappointed to learn after installation that a cabinet shown in the pre-approved design was not actually available. This should have been disclosed upfront. After spending three Saturdays visiting countertop suppliers recommended by Sean, we were told the prefab selection was extremely limited and ultimately had to pay extra for countertops. Given the high starting price for such a small project, I expected basic items--flooring materials, standard countertops, cabinet hardware, a faucet, garbage disposal, and trim--to be included. Instead, we were asked to pay an additional $2,000 on top of the contract price. In the end, we paid a premium price for mediocre service, significant damage to our home and belongings, and thousands more in unexpected material costs. Overall, the experience was deeply disappointing and not reflective of a company positioning itself at this price level. read more

Sean and his crew are excellent! Asked him to have our kitchen done in time for thanksgiving and they completed ahead of time. great job!

Great people, great company and outstanding service experience and the results speak for themselves!!! I contacted Milan couple of months ago to get an estimate to replace my countertops, backsplash and build a fence with a deck on my front porch. Since the first meeting, Andrey (who was the project manager) listened to all our needs, made sure that we are going the right direction with material selection, he came to the job site everyday and made sure everything is up to the highest standard and our needs and expectations. Abigail from the office was there whenever we had questions regarding payments etc... I would definitely will use Andrey and his team again for my future projects. 100/10 recommended, don't think twice! read more

Absolutely could not be more impressed with Sean and his team. We had a bad leak in our kitchen and master bathroom, forcing unexpected remodels for both. Sean showed up, walked us through everything, outlined our plan, and even gave us financing options to complete the project how we wanted. They were super fast, incredibly respectful and efficient, and very willing to add on additional smaller projects as we went forward. They even helped on separate issue in another bathroom outside their scope of work! I honestly could not have asked for a better situation, and they were a god send for our family during a super stressful time right before the holidays. They worked up until Xmas eve to give us our kitchen and bathroom back before family arrived for the holiday. We have a couple more rooms to do, and will absolutely only be using Sean and his team in the future. Do not go with another company until you talk to Sean and the team. I promise you it's worth it. read more

I've already hosted a few family events and everyone loves the design and finishes, especially the backsplash!

This was my first experience with home remodeling. My husband and I were nervous, anxious and frightened. I was completely out of my element. Trying to comprehend all that was going to happen to my home. From the initial introduction with Milan Design + Build, its staff created a first class professional and friendly atmosphere where I could relax and let my guard down a bit. Their knowledge and experience in their field was excellent. My complete trust I placed with Andrey, Dolev and crew. They held my hand through the whole process. They described daily...step by step what would be happening with my renovations. They were outstanding. There are no words to express my gratitude to them. They made my home remodeling experience the best. Thank you Milan Design+Build. I highly recommend them. Best regards always, E. Tamayo read more

David Milan and his team delivered outstanding service. My mom had a master bedroom and new flooring added to her home and the crew was respectful and considerate throughout the project. Communication between the team and my mom was honest and transparent which meant a lot. It was clear they had her best interests at heart. Whenever issues arose, the crew addressed them promptly and without hesitation. Overall, the service was excellent, and I would confidently recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and professional team. read more

Sean and the team at Milan Design + Build were fantastic. They offered a very fair & competitive quote, especially for the quality of work they provide. They were able to start the project very quicky and complete it in even less time than initially anticipated. Their crew was clean, professional, and they prepped the area so that the rest of our house was insulated from the dust, debris & noise. They adapted to a few last minute changes & small add-ons without adjusting the budget. And Sean dropped in every day to make sure progress was being made and that we were happy. Couldn't ask for a better renovation team. Thank you again! read more

We are very satisfied with the stunning renovation of our master bathroom, thanks to the combined efforts of Hila of Hila Design Office and Sean of Milan Design + Build. Hila created a beautiful and thoughtful design that perfectly captured our vision. Sean and his team brought it to life with remarkable efficiency, quickly demoing the space. They then worked with the precision of true craftsmen, rebuilding the bathroom from the studs. Sean was always helpful and responsive. The crew was courteous and hard working. They cleaned up at the end of each day. We are very impressed with the tile work and their attention to detail. They also completed the project ahead of schedule. The result is a beautiful, perfectly executed space. We couldn't be happier. Thank you, Sean! read more

They gave a crazy high quote... $5000 to install a window. It felt like they were trying to take advantage of me.

Such a blessing to have their expertise and encouragement to get just what we needed. And to be done ahead of schedule?! Miraculous! Love our new kitchen and bathroom!

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. read more

We can't say thank you enough to Milan Design + Build for taking our closed off, dark, cheaply "flipped" kitchen and turning it into the kitchen of our dreams! Sean Shlomo Noriani was extremely helpful! We had expected to have a contractor upsell everything, try to take advantage of us, and put dollars & cents as a priority, however we experienced the exact opposite. Sean & team we're transparent, extremely flexible and kept our wants and needs top of mind. Sean and Martin were honest the entire way through and provided a killer design that was executed to perfection.

I finally remodeled an old 1958 kitchen in a small rental I own in Solana Beach. Michelle from MD+B convinced me that replacing the cabinets wasn't that much more than refacing, which I considered as I was trying to keep the cost at a minimum. I can't begin to describe how thrilled I am with the results and work from MD+B. Because I was trying to keep the cost low, we did not replace the appliances. But, new cabinets, countertop, sink, faucet... I can't be more pleased! All the work, demo, prep, install, etc. was completed in 5 working days!!! We will certainly use them again for future projects. read more

I've worked with many contractors in the past 15 years that we've lived in our old house. I'm just sorry that I found David of Milan Design + Build now that we're almost done with all of our projects, because he and his crew have been by far the best. Not only is their craftsmanship superior to everyone else's, but they have been the most trustworthy. They do what they say they are going to do, they do it on time, and they do it on budget. I've found their prices to be quite reasonable. I've also been impressed with the way they work with me to produce what I want and not what they think I should want. We're now going forward with projects that had been on the back burner, and that's totally because we've found Milan Design. So far we've just done hardscaping with them (excellent, excellent masonry crew) but I'll be doing more! Thank you, David! I'm so happy my husband found you.

I wish there were more stars to give because 5 is not enough. From the very first cal I made the customer service and professionalism far exceeded my expectations. Our family is BEYOND impressed and very grateful to SEAN SHLOMO NORIANI "Sean". What can I say?? Professionalism, punctuality, CUSTOMER SERVICE, communication, and guaranteed work....a true value for the money. Sean worked on a home built in 1977 that had no maintenance, He remodled three bathrooms and the kitchen/den including tearing down a wall and putting in an island. During the entire project, which was done in a VERY TIMELY manner, Sean kept in constant communication which included (daily) photos of the work that was being performed. (There was never any "I wonder how the job is progressing") We were THRILLED that the ONLY person we dealt with was Sean...There was no having to apply for permits, no hiriing plumbers, no hiring electricians, no hiring window people, no coordinating a three-ring circus that comes with a job of this magnitude. Sean took care of ALL of it effortlessly and with a smile!! Sean has a meticulous eye for aesthetics. He noticed that three tiles in the shower did not exactly match (no fault of his own, as that is how they came in the boxes) and he bought more tile to replace those three. (No one else noticed it until he pointed it out). Sean did such an amazing job that we hired him to do an insanely big job of repairing a SEVERLY damaged balcony that was literally falling, a job that several other contractors either didn't want to get involved in, OR, they were interested in "touch up" work that would eventually lead to the balcony crumbling apart which would lead to having to repair AGAIN in the future (wasting time and money). I can HIGHLY recommend Sean and his company because I beleive he has integrity, professionalism and great taste. Sean would not undertake a job that he would not be able to complete to his high standards. He would rather lose out on the possible financial gains than take a job that would leave a customer dissatisfied or do a half-ass job....I can respect that! Wish there were more people like him around. We are fortunate to have come across his company. Sean became part of our family. BTW...I did not get paid for this review, and I tried to recall if there was anything I was not happy about....the answer is NO. I have a tremendous appreciation for people who respect my time and don't try to rip me off and for that reason, without hesitation I am writing this review. It was earned and he deserves it.....and for you who is reading it, you will not be disappointed! read more

I just want to say how awesome Milan Design has been through our entire remodeling process with several projects we've had them do. Sean in particular! He's been so easy to work with, flexible and friendly, it feels like we've known him forever with his warm and professional demeanor. We've had his team completely redesign our full carport/driveway, he had his team completely demolish an entire staircase and rebuilt it at a moments notice and he's currently working on a complete kitchen and bathroom gut and remodel. I'm thoroughly impressed with all of the work that they've done and how efficient and quickly it's come together each and every time. His connections to everything from solar, plumbing amongst a ton of other services really makes this company top notch. It's because of people like Sean Shlomo Noriani that we will continue to do business with this great company. Thank you for everything, we truly value working with you. We recommend Milan 100%! read more

Hello Everyone! My wife and I experienced our first water damage as homeowners in our kitchen after 7 years of living in our home. We were extremely stressed and overwhelmed after reporting this incident to our home insurance company, because it was our responsibility to select a water restoration and home remodel company. Our insurance company did provide several remodel companies in our area, but many were trying to cut corners on their scope of work to reduce the overall project cost for the insurance company. My wife and I did not feel comfortable that these companies were all working in our best interest. Do not use a remodel company from your home insurance network, because they will treat you like another number and ensure their repair margins are acceptable with the insurance company. We were in search of a reputable general contractor to help us achieve our restoration and remodel vision. My wife and I interviewed over 9 companies and we were so impressed with Sean from our initial meeting (i.e., free estimate). Anyone looking to remodel their home already knows how stressful it can become and Sean was able to instantly put his arms around us to ease our anxiety with the home repairs. He quickly identified water damage items that needed to be abated that others overlooked or tried to salvage. Sean recommended these repairs even if we decided to use another remodeling company. He wanted to ensure that we received quality work that would prevent us from additional deterioration repairs in the future. I requested re-evaluations from 2 remodeling companies and both apologized for not catching Sean's recommendations. This just continued to validate the positive energy and confidence that we had in Sean taking care of our home. Sean, Michelle, Shay, Ismael, Martin, Margarito, Heber, and the rest of the team became part of our family. Sean became our Project Manger to perform and oversee the renovation work. We are so very grateful that we made that decision! Sean was very patient, sympathetic to our situation, and truly listened to our needs. He took the time to assess the damage, offer design options, provide price ranges based on our goals, and delivered an amazing finish. His team was professional, clean, and respectful throughout the entire process. Sean and Michelle provided designs of the job in a timely manner, set reasonable timelines, and delivered a great product beyond our expectations. Michelle was so helpful with supporting us along the way with design choices (i.e., transitional cabinet styles, cabinet handles, backsplash, countertops, flooring, etc.) or consulting with us on other materials. She has a great eye for design and is definitely someone you want input from on your project. The final product mirrored exactly what was promised in the final remodel designs. However, we also need to thank and recognize Shay for his subject matter expertise regarding cabinetry. We were not easy customers and he always came through for us. We owe him an enormous appreciation for working closely with us on the designs and cabinet installation process. I have a strong attention to detail due to being in the Marine Corps and Shay was able to achieve our cabinets and pantry measurements, functionality, layout, and many other requirements that we were seeking in our kitchen. Sean and his team worked with us to achieve our vision of restoring and updating our kitchen, obtaining more storage, and more light! Sean and Shay had excellent ideas that greatly contributed to the end design. I was very impressed with Sean's and Michelle's commitment to stay on schedule. They all made visible progress every day and provide us with pictures/videos. The final results could not be more beautiful and we could not be more pleased. I highly recommend working with Sean and his team on your home project. Ismael, Martin, Margarito, Heber, and every person who came to my home were respectful of the space and our needs. They completely protected the space outside the kitchen area that drastically reduced the minor dust after their workday. Ismael installed new electrical wiring from the panel box to accommodate our new kitchen layout and appliances. We absolutely love our new kitchen island with electrical outlets, additional ceiling lights, and upgraded smart technology. Martin made sure every last touchup detail was achieved with perfection and made the final process as easy as we could possibly imagine. Margarito has a tremendous amount of skill and did an incredible job on our backsplash. Sean and his team completely exceeded all of our expectations from the initial quote to final inspection. The whole team has a great work ethic, personality, and chemistry that made working with them so enjoyable. At the end of the day, you will not be disappointed and they all will make your dream home come to life! read more
