Get matched with top residential design pros in Encinitas, CA

"We purchased a 48-year old, one story house that needed a major update before we moved in. We did a lot of homework on creating an "Aging in Place" beach house for when we retire and DM Building basically re-built the entire house for our future needs and family's enjoyment. To say we took the original architect plans and kept adding new ideas would be an understatement! We more than doubled our original contract cost because we were enjoying the process way too much (plus Danny made it way too easy for us)!
We added a laundry room, a new master bedroom, a master bathroom and a walk-in closet. Right outside the sliding glass door in the master bedroom are stairs going up to a huge deck with a panoramic view of the ocean and mountains. We have an indoor poolroom with beautiful LaCantina doors that slide open from the kitchen and family room making an eye-popping statement when you walk into the house.
DM Building has their own electricians and plumbers as employees so you don't have to wait for outside contractors to make time for you. We have all new electrical wiring including IT wiring connected to a media closet for all the entertainment boxes, pool equipment, solar equipment, computers, modems, etc. keeping it all out of sight. They installed new plumbing lines and fixtures, electrical fixtures, ceiling fans, appliances, new windows, doors including beautiful, heavy pocket doors and new hardware throughout! They raised the ceilings and widened all the door openings.  The drywall textures and painting are exceptional. The exterior is a beautiful suede-look stucco with the perfect accent of stone below Hardie Shingle Siding.  
There are so many things that DM Building does to make the job look seamless, in a timely step by step process. They installed a tankless water heater, a full house water filtration system, new heating and cooling systems, a new roof with a lighted cupola and new sidewalks and patios with new vinyl fencing surrounding the property. Solar was also installed and because of all the new energy efficient features that DM installed, we are already seeing the meter going backwards!    
DM employees made the construction process much easier to deal with the stress. We lived close enough to come over every day to see the progress so we bonded with a great bunch of guys, Danny, the owner, is great to work with and only a phone call away and if you're lucky enough to have Scott as your job supervisor, you will truly enjoy working with him. It was a long year but there is no comparison to the old house we bought and the lovely home we now live in, thanks to DM Building!

"Sarah was great at getting to know what styles I liked and understanding what I really wanted my place to look like. She came back with options to choose from and adjusted just a bit after giving me room to provide my feedback. The designs came out great and people are really impressed when they come to my home. They always ask who designed it, and now you know 🤣 I highly recommend Sarah if you want similar outcomes! I really enjoy coming home everyday now, and it’s very much thanks to Sarah’s interior designs! She also helped coordinate some of the purchasing, which was super helpful, and is generally well organized. She used to work for a firm that charges much more, so you’re getting all that experience without having to pay for quite so much overhead."

"Connie is very professional. She knows design and offers valuable suggestions. She promoted her ideas learned from years of experience, but she listened and respected our thoughts and desires too. She was also very friendly. Our kitchen remodel turned out very well. I have been seeking her help now on an additional project involving furniture, an area rug, lighting, and wall décor. She strives for excellence in all that she does."

"After they redid our counter tops and island, we had them paint out cabinets and build shelves up to the ceiling. The communication was on point this time and the results speak for themselves. Would definitely recommend them to anyone for any home project."

"Charles is a wonderful designer who helped us with our new home! Highly recommend!"

"I worked with Denise to remodel a bathroom and am very happy with the results. Denise helped us design changes to the bathroom and coordinated a reliable contractor. She sourced the material we needed and presented different sample options, which made choosing them simple. She handled the ordering and kept us updated on timing and delivery throughout the process. The design is beautiful and fits our home perfectly and the quality of work is exceptional. I highly recommend Denise, as she listened to what we wanted and helped us create an amazing result. She listens, manages the moving parts and is great at communicating! Denise is an excellent choice and I plan on using her in future projects."

Our ground floor is transformed into a beautiful updated cheerful and functional space. I can t wait for her help with the upstairs!"
