I recently contracted TNT Design & Build for a significant structural modification to my home--widening my office window to a massive 107 inches--and the results are truly magnificent. This was a complex project requiring precision across multiple disciplines, and the team delivered flawlessly on every front. The craftsmanship was evident in every phase: Structural & Exterior: The stucco work on the exterior is seamless, blending perfectly with the existing structure. Interior Finishing: The drywall work and painting (both inside and out) were handled with meticulous care, leaving the office looking better than the original build. Product Quality: They selected and installed an excellent XO configuration window by Imperium, which has completely transformed the light and feel of the space. What impressed me most was their professionalism regarding logistics. TNT navigated the Carlsbad city permitting and inspection process with ease, ensuring everything was carried out in a timely, compliant, and careful fashion. A special thanks goes to the project manager, Ethan Dreiman. Ethan's coordination was top-notch; he stayed in close contact with me throughout the entire lifespan of the project, fielding every concern with patience and expertise. It is rare to find a firm that balances high-end technical skill with such proactive communication. I highly recommend TNT Design & Build for any homeowner looking for high-quality, stress-free renovations. read more

We had a great experience with Mor and her TNT team! Great communication, and their warehouse is conveniently located off Palomar and Melrose.

Tamari's team at TNT completed a full house renovation (floors, kitchen, 5 baths, 2 new bifold doors) on time and budget and faster than I could have dreamed possible.

He's particularly strong with tile and tech, 2 areas that I'm not great with. My house is now stunning! Highly recommend!!! read more

We worked with Mor on our home remodel. We liked that we could start with the design package without having to commit to a whole remodel. Once we saw the plans (including a mini 3D model of our house!) and had worked with Mor it was an easy decision to choose TNT. Our house is old so there were some surprises as we went along but we always felt confident in Mor and her team. They did quality work and were on time. Mor helped us navigate each step and we are so thrilled with the results! read more

I had a kitchen remodel done with TNT Design & Build. Mor was my project manager. She did a fantastic job for us. She was super organized, provided helpful hints, was always available to answer questions, and kept the project moving at an amazing pace. In fact, she initially said the project would take 4-5 weeks, but everything was completed within 2 weeks. She arrived every morning that work was being done to make sure that the people working that day knew what was suppose to be done. She also let me know what work would happen every day and what work would happen the following day. I can only give her my highest gratitude and praise for making this remodel go as easily and as stress free as possible. In fact, I have already agreed to have her do a future bathroom remodel for us. read more

When it was time to remodel our downstairs we of course called Mor at TNT Design & Build who remodeled two bathrooms and a loft for us in 2021. Mor always listens to her clients but offers professional guidance during the course of the project design and execution to ensure the end results exceed expectations. Her guidance challenged some of our ideas which resulted in design changes and a more elegant design. We highly recommend Mor and the team at TNT Design & Build for your remodel needs. read more

I am writing this to see if at all this catches the attention of the business owner. We came across this business through yelp. We were looking for a home extension by adding rooms , booked an appointment and a person named Ethan Dreiman visited us. The hour long appointment went well and he asked us to visit the business in Carlsbad, The following week we went there saw the office , went through a few things and further steps. The appointment went well( at least, according to us!). Ethan was supposed to visit us the following Thursday but we did not hear from him. Since it was Thanksgiving break we thought the office might be closed. The week after he told us he had a family emergency and will call us back, never heard back. We thought it might have been something serious and everybody has emergencies, so waited for someone from the team to step in. Nothing! . After some weeks , we called the office and informed the front desk person. She said she will get back. Two weeks later still NOTHING!! If they were not interested in doing business with us, we would have shook hands and left. But would appreciate them telling us so. If this is their integrity and ethics I am glad we found out now rather than much deeper into the project! read more

We contracted TNT Design and Build to remodel our kitchen and downstairs. Greg and Austin were our project managers. In retrospect, I think the remodel turned out significantly better than expected. Building and contracting is foreign to me, but Greg and Austin candidly helped me understand the pearls and pitfalls of the remodel process and they did so with grace and professionalism. Additionally, Greg and Austin walked me through the design process in a manner which was adherent to both building code, and highlighting the improvements we wanted. Moreover, Greg and Austin made sure to give many helpful suggestions of design along the way, concepts we would never have considered. Our downstairs remodel is much better because of their suggestions for design and for specific building materials. While TNT does sell many of the building materials necessary for the rebuild, you don't have to use their products. Yet I admit it was advantageous to see their products in their showroom and to understand the quality of the materials I was getting. Most of the materials we used were bought through their company, but they stand by their products and I'm happy with the quality. It was easier to help purchase the materials with TNT because I didn't have to source them or store them myself. This was majorly convenient, and I'm grateful TNT operates this way. They have a warehouse they can hold our materials until it's time to install. I didn't have to turn my garage into their storage space. Once our design was completed, the kitchen and floors were quite different than what we initially desired, but this is a great aspect of partnering with a design and build firm. The aesthetic aspect of the build didn't compromise the function, and for that I'm grateful. My only regret is that they did such a superlative job, I'll have to hire them back to remodel the upstairs and exterior in the years to come. Lastly, their crew that entered our home was always courteous and hardworking. I never had concerns about them working in my home. Normally I have anxiety about strangers working inside my home, but because TNT builds this all in house with their team, it felt like a family owned company. The price. Of the 4 quotes we got, TNT was maybe 3% higher than the others. The 3% extra I may have paid for the remodel was worth every penny. I will use them again and I'll recommend them to my friends and colleagues. read more

After having an excellent experience with my bathroom remodel, I decided to move forward with a kitchen remodel. Ortal Cohen, my project manager, was again there for me every step of the way. It was a real time saver being able to chose items from the TNT showroom ~ one stop shopping. Ortal oversaw delivery of the cabinets and tile and helped me chose appliances. She was very responsive to my texted questions and follow-up quickly. She often came to my home to check on the progress and to ensure that I was happy with the outcome. I'll be using TNT again next year to install flooring. read more

Very bad... stay away! They replied to my initial review that it couldn't be them and we must have them confused with someone else. It was TNT Design and Build on Tiger Run in Carlsbad. The workers destroyed much of our home while working and the final job was done terribly and we paid them a LOT. Even other workers who came in afterward commented on how bad the workmanship was. Stay far away!! read more

Austin and team at TNT were very professional and did a great job with our bathroom remodel. The scope of our project was to completely update everything with our shower and to upgrade the tiled tub surround, minimizing grout lines and taking the shower tile all the way to the ceiling. Everything from demo to plumbing, hot mop, tile prep, tile install, and eventually to drywall repair and paint was completed with precision. Danny, Ivan, and especially Eduardo, the tile layer, were polite and attentive to details. We asked questions along the way and Austin and team were quick to address them and/or to offer suggestions to improve our project in ways we hadn't imagined. (tile layout, lower step in height, etc) The outcome of the remodel was better than we envisioned, and it will last us for years to come. We've already had several comments about how beautiful it is from family and friends. My wife is a self-proclaimed picky client, with high standards, and TNT did a great job with ensuring her expectations were met. read more

We have a house built in the 80's that we have lived in for almost 20 years without updating, so when we finally decided to renovate we knew it was going to be a big job. Kitchen, new stairs/railing, hardwood floors downstairs, new carpet upstairs and a master bath remodel were the major projects, with quite a few minor updates as well. I'm so, so glad we chose TNT to do the work for us. Our project manager, Mor, was absolutely amazing. She told us when we first met that she would not be happy until we were happy and she really meant it. Her communication was terrific and she always followed up promptly on any questions or requests. We're not good at visualizing design choices, so she was instrumental in helping us pick out materials that looked great and were within our budget. All the TNT employees and subcontractors were fantastic as well - prompt and professional. Mor also has a lot of contacts and good relationships throughout the industry, which was clearly a benefit to us. We're about to move back in now that the project is complete and I could not be happier. I won't hesitate to call them again for future work! read more

This is the second time we've used them the first time was our master bath and they did a great job that is why we went with them to do our kitchen the project manager Joe Hackman listened to what we wanted and what our budget was he gave us 3d floor plans & a breakdown on payments he kept his crew on track to keep on schedule for projected completion even after it was complete we asked Joe to come back for a couple of touch ups we wanted. Joe is a great guy and look forward to having him come back for our next project Thanks Joe read more

TNT is a top-notch company that prides itself on customer service. We hired them to do a full bathroom remodel and we love the finished product. The process was facilitated smoothly by Greg and Ethan who were very patient and extremely helpful when we were feeling indecisive. The project was on time, even a few days early, and on budget. (One of the main reasons we selected this company is that they guarantee these two important factors). Their workers were meticulous, courteous and neat. It was our first major remodel, and we would use TNT again without hesitation. read more

I've been mulling for weeks about what to say in this review. It's time to stop mulling and start writing. After decades in Palo Alto, we moved to Carlsbad, rented a house, and started looking for a house to buy. We found a house a few blocks from Tamarack that was ideal for us, but it was half a century old and had not been well maintained in recent years because the owner was elderly and disabled. It had been remodeled by several previous owners; some of their work was of good quality and some was not. A mishmash. We knew we needed to do a major renovation. We decided to go with a Design/Build company instead of the Architect/Contractor combination that we had used in other cities. After considerable research and false starts, we found TNT. As soon as we met the TNT principals we decided to go with their company. Looking back, that was absolutely the right thing to do. We agreed on a scope of work and signed a contract in February 2021. Work started a few days later. Renovations always begin with demolition. Rip out the old, put in the new. We wanted to take out walls and make one big room at the south end of the house, combining kitchen, dining, and living areas. We discovered during that demolition that there was a terrible structural problem above the kitchen. The primary roof beams were supported by the pantry walls, and weren't even bolted to it. Just gravity. We were dismayed, but TNT just handled it. They brought in a structural engineer, got a revised building permit, ripped up the kitchen subfloor and poured a huge concrete footing underneath the kitchen, set a steel post into it, and anchored the roof beams to that post in a way that made the structural engineer (and the city inspector) happy. Work resumed, and they finished on schedule. We moved into the house in late August 2021 (don't ask about the moving company; my answer would blister your ears). As I look back on this successful project, I think that the primary reason it was so successful and made us so happy was the project manager assigned to our project by TNT, and the good working relationship we developed with that project manager. The project manager's mixture of design skills, artistic eye, construction knowledge and experience, and management style was key to the success of the whole operation. I won't identify here which of their project managers was assigned to our project, because this review is to help you decide whether you want to hire TNT for your remodel, not to help the project manager feel proud. I'm sure all 3 of TNT's project managers are equally excellent. I can say that our project manager had been in the army before joining TNT and was an drill sergeant. Good training for managing the work crew, but miraculously able to be gentle with clients. I don't ever want to move again, and this house isn't going to need further work in my lifetime, but if I did need to hire a home renovator again, I'd go with TNT in a heartbeat. We ordered a refrigerator the same day that the construction started, in February 2021. It still has not arrived. read more

I truly cannot say enough good things about Tamari and TNT Design and Build. We had a pipe leak in our kitchen that caused extensive damage. We ended up needing to do an entire kitchen renovation on a tight timeline. Because it was unexpected we weren't prepared with many ideas. Luckily, with guidance from Tamari's team and his extensive showroom we were able to choose quality products that we were really happy with. TNT does top quality work everywhere--from replacing pipes, putting up new drywall, flooring, custom cabinet installation, countertop installation, custom tiling, painting and more. The team is professional and punctual. The small hiccups we encountered along the way were dealt with quickly--the team is very solution oriented. The work exceeded our expectations and was completed ahead of our agreed upon timeline! We highly recommend TNT Design and Build and will definitely use them for any future house projects. read more
