We remodeled multiple rooms (kitchen, dining, laundry, main living space, bathrooms and bedrooms) and she helped us make sure the overall look felt elevated and cohesive. We also really appreciated her bringing over different samples of the materials so we could see them in the space. We highly recommend working with her and would work with her again. As an added bonus, her pricing is very reasonable, especially compared to other designers in the area.

As someone with no design eye, I was more than happy to have the help designing our house extension. She gleans not just your style preferences but also your plans for using the space, coming up with solutions that are both gorgeous and optimized functionally. She is also an excellent project manager and communicator, taking a management role with the contractor and different suppliers for the project which was invaluable and also very cost-effective for us, as she was able to source things far more competitively than I would have without her assistance. I'm excited for 'phase 2' of our house project!

What started as a simple site plan quickly turned into a full set of construction documents--and I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. After being quoted an outrageously high price by another designer, I was relieved to find Alexandra. Her prices are very reasonable, communication is clear and responsive, and the quality of her work is top-notch. In less than two months, I have a building permit in hand. I handled the permit processing myself, and Alexandra was incredibly patient and helpful throughout the process. I had a lot of questions since this was my first time pulling a building permit, and she answered them all with care. Highly recommend Miller Design and Drafting if you're looking for someone skilled, fair, and easy to work with.

I didn't have a very good experience with their design consultation. Once I paid for consultation,…read morethere was no proper communication on their end and nothing came out of their design consultation. I am not sure what their design looks like but the consultation was not at all the $400 they charge. Update- After my feedback, Darcy reached out saying there was some miscommunication at their end and they are working to fix it . They also offered additional services to make this experience better. I am glad they took the feedback and reached out to fix it. That is definitely a sign they care and want to improve.

I reached out to her back in November, she came out the next day to to give us a quote on our bathroom remodel. She made the entire process so easy. She ordered EVERYTHING for us, complete gut job, removing drywall and replacing everything in our bathroom. The entire remodel took 2 weeks. Elena was so easy to work with and even though I was nervous (you never know what you will find when you open up walls) she assured me, regardless what we find, we can fix it. The workers were great, they worked a full day and we could see the quality and value of their work. I am extremely grateful and so happy with our new bathroom. I would absolutely recommend Elka Interiors and Elena. Thank you for our beautiful bathroom.

Are you kidding me? Only five stars ? Can I give this company 10 stars ??…read more So here is my reason for my 10 star review. We started off with a little farmhouse about 1700 ft.². It had 3 bedrooms and about five different living Spaces. It was old & beat up but the land was about an acre and a half. We turn this little dump into a jewel of Bonita. Huge open layout , 1500 square feet of deck , indoor outdoor living , a kitchen to die for , bathrooms so cozy you'd want to sleep in . With the guidance, vision and help of Elena our designer this became the house of our dreams. Unfortunately it also became the house of someone else's dreams as soon as we were done ! Soon enough , even though we got an offer we couldn't refuse ! A huge pay day ! This little project home because of Elka interiors became a huge profiting flip of a home which was our steppingstone to bigger and better things to come. Not only did you make this experience and easy and amazing one but you made it a profitable one !!! Thanks for all of you insight and patience !

This company and the owner is a fraud. Fujisaki may have done good work 30 years ago, but he stole…read moremoney from us, did sub-par work and abandoned the project leaving landscape irrigation pipes unconnected, exposed, and used cheap materials. We suffered two major leaks in our back yard, one created a tub size sinkhole the other affected our foundation, both causing thousand of dollars in damage and repairs. Don't waste your time or energy contacting this company, the owner is a thief, a crook, and has poor work ethics. He will steal your money, abandone the job once you provide him an advance and/or do shotty work. He doesn't answer or return calls once you catch him doing what I descrobed and doesn't give a rats ass what his workers did or did not do. He should have his license revoked. Check his BBB accreditation and claims against his contractors license. He has been repeatedly fined.

This is a review for Jonathan Jones and Teak Owl for a project to do the following:…read moreCreate 6 custom cabinets Create 2 custom tower cabinets with appliance garages Resurface 30 cabinet doors Create 5 pullout drawers We originally interviewed 4 cabinet makers with good reviews on Thumbtack. Jonathan Jones of Teak Owl told us that he was a 4th generation cabinet maker and assured us that the job wouldn't be completed until we were 100% satisfied with the end result. 6 months later we still have unfinished cabinets and are dissatisfied with Teak Owl. We felt that Jonathan misrepresented the quality of his work and was belligerent when we pointed out mistakes/errors, often emotionally charging conversations and threatening us with "not showing up tomorrow". There were several issues with the quality of work. Items shipped unprotected - arrived damaged Cabinets were shipped with no covering whatsoever, resulting in them being heavily nicked/scratched/blemished upon arrival. Items damaged during installation Cabinets were damaged during installation - several dings, scratches, and blemishes were added while Teak Owl installed the cabinets. When we brought the previous two points regarding damaged cabinets up to Jonathan, he argued that he didn't charge us for "perfect" cabinets - more on this later Mismatched paint for touch up To repair the previously mentioned damage, Jonathan decided to use paint with a glossy finish, despite the fact that the cabinets were painted with a matt finish. His touch ups now look like greasy stains. Crown molding Painted with immediately noticeable poor quality - there were several highly visible blemishes. When we brought this up to Jonathan, he dismissively lectured us that we were "incorrectly" viewing the blemishes with multiple light sources and accused us of going out of our way to find mistakes. This seems like a pretty lame excuse for poor workmanship. The cabinets would nearly always be under two light sources anyways, given the kitchen windows. Gaps in tower cabinet installation One of the tower cabinet's right sides floats from the countertop and has a ¼" gap - it was supposed to rest on the counter. Jonathan claimed that the wall was not plumbed properly and therefore it was impossible for him to make the cabinets flush. It would have been easy to flush had he scribed and/or leveled it. Cabinet door overshaved One of the cabinet doors was shaved down too heavily, resulting in it noticeably not aligning with the other cabinet doors. Original crown molding didn't match The crown molding appeared unfinished because it was noticeably narrower than the decorative side panels. Jonathan claimed that he finishes all crown moldings this way, but agreed to redo it. Cabinet crown didn't align correctly As he redid the crown, we noticed that the crown joints at the corners did not align with the doors - this looked unprofessional and of DIY quality. Jonathan claimed it was not a mistake, and that the crown should align with the cabinet box and not the doors. We asked Jonathan to redo this as well, and offered pay for the additional work. Inconsistent cabinet drawer fronts - looks like repurposed material The majority of base cabinet drawer fronts Jonathan installed have two 1 and inch hinge holes in the back. These holes are visible in the garbage pullout door and one of the drawers when you open. In all the bigger drawers except one, he installed the drawer fronts with hinge holes at the bottom so the holes are not visible. But in one drawer, he installed the holes at the top, so when you open the drawer, you see 2 big holes at the top. When we addressed it, he said "We typically drill holes in them." They look ugly and look like repurposed old doors. It does not make sense to drill hinge holes on the drawer fronts. He agreed to plug the holes on the garbage pull out door, but told us that we should not care so much about the back of the drawer front. If he installed the one drawer front with holes at the bottom like all the other drawers he did, there would be no issues at all, but he installed this one drawer front upside down for some reason. He was not happy to flip the one drawer front and reluctantly did it. We noticed after he flipped the drawer front, the drawer did not open well and we knew something was not right. When we asked him about the drawer not opening very smoothly he didn't even bother to check it but said, "It's because of your drawer." It would have taken Jonathan less than a minute to realize that the left side of the drawer was off the rail, wheels resting on top of the rail. He had mistakenly installed the drawer front while the drawer was off rail resulting in the drawer front not centered and crooked by 1/2". To make the matter worse, the drawer front is cracked in the back, and we believe Jonathan was trying to hide the crack by installing the drawer front upside down.

I highly recommend Teak Owl / Jonathan if you're looking for high quality finishes with exceptional…read morecustomer service. The cabinets throughout my condo (kitchen and two bathrooms) were showing wear and making the space feel dated. Jonathan was attentive and collaborative during the design process. Without having the budget for an entirely new kitchen, they were able to leverage the existing cabinets and reface the dated wood/pulls. It now appears to be entirely new and completely modern. Even when faced with issues of my doing (ordering a refrigerator that was too large & a broken tile) they were able to pivot with the design to make it work. The finished product looks amazing and compared to a complete remodel, they saved me thousands!! I could not be happier with the entire experience and finished product.
