"The project was complicated because we found after demolishing the old bathroom that our plumbing and water heater needed to be replaced which increased scope and timeline. Future Vision was quick to help us problem solve and adjust the plan, and did high quality work so we are very happy with the results."
"Personal referrals are always the best, and our designer thought Zacarias Remodeling would be perfect for our home project. One of the most important aspects of putting your home in the hands of a contractor for me personally is TRUST. Oscar is the 3rd contractor we met, and our designer was right. Zacarias Remodeling was our perfect match. Oscar understood our concept, his estimates were fair, and the quality of his work always exceeded our expectations. He stands behind his work and his crews are always polite and keep the work areas clean. Too bad I'm restricted to 5 stars. He deserves 10."
"We recently had our bathroom remodeled by Be Home Remodeling, and I just wanted to share how happy we are with everything. Pouria, our project manager, was great — super organized, always kept us updated, and really listened to any concerns we had. Any time we needed something or had a question, he handled it right away.
The crew (Manuel, Isaí )did an awesome job. They worked cleanly, were respectful of our home, and the quality of the work shows. The bathroom turned out even better than we expected, and we honestly love how everything came out.
Overall, it was a really smooth experience, and we’d definitely recommend Be Home Remodeling and Pouria if you’re planning a remodel."
"Omer and Jenni were great to work with through Maison Remodeling Group. I work for a nonprofit and they were able to accommodate an unconventional funding situation for a homeowner I was helping. The work that was done is polished and everything the homeowner needed to keep their home healthy and safe after the homeowner had been taken advantage of by a low quality window contractor. Maison Remodeling really stepped in, identified the problem areas, and reset the windows in brand new stucco that will help the home survive the most elements of the California coast. Jenni and Omer provided great customer service and Jenni was very responsive through email anytime I had a question about the project. I will definitely be using them again in the future!"
"We worked with Rose Remodeling & Design for a full house remodel, and I can honestly say it completely transformed our home. From outdated and cramped, our house is now modern, functional, and beautiful. The quality of the work is top-notch, with thoughtful design choices that perfectly fit our lifestyle. Adir Hazan and his team went above and beyond to make sure every detail was handled. Thanks to their hard work, we finally have the home we’ve always dreamed of."
"I recently had a condo remodel done in San Jose. The team remodeled to bathrooms and replaced the hardware in my kitchen cabinets. My entire home was painted too. They did an excellent job in under a week. Very meticulous work and competitively priced. I highly recommend this business if you need a home remodel."
"I had the honor of working with ON Design & Remodeling on our full house remodeling project. From the moment I contacted them for an estimate, the communication was clear and prompt. Aviv the project manager listened attentively to my ideas and preferences, and his valuable suggestions helped refine the project further. Roi efficiently managed the teams, ensuring that everything was on schedule. I appreciated the hard work of ON Design & Remodeling to keep the workspace clean and tidy all the time. They showed respect for my home, and I had an amazing experience."
"We hired Clever Design and Remodeling to remodel our two bathrooms and a completely new master suite. We never thought small changes would make such a huge difference our home feels like new, Roy was great to work with too. We worked with them from the very beginning when drawing out our floor plans for the project and they lived up to our expectations. In addition to having new flooring, drywall, paint, completely new bathrooms there was so much more work involved. Their taste in design is impeccable. Thank you, Clever Design and Remodeling, for making it so easy."
"This kitchen remodel changed our daily life. More space, better storage, and it just looks amazing. The team helped with design ideas and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. We finally enjoy cooking again!"
"Plan Perfect remodeled my entire home, safely, on schedule, and on budget and I can recommend them without reservation. I interviewed 4 contractors and Bryce from Plan Perfect was the only one to provide design options and a rough cost during our first meeting. Following selection, he immediately provided a line item cost estimate, making the basis of the estimate, and what was and was not included, crystal clear. Bryce applied for the necessary permits the same day and the permits were received within 72 hours. Plan Perfect remodeled my kitchen, 2 baths, installed new floors throughout the house, and tiled my fireplace. Bryce was available and hands-on throughout the process and the project foreman (Leo) was an excellent craftsperson and problem-solver. The subcontractors (floor, tiling, and stone countertops) were also excellent. The entire team is also very knowledgeable regarding products and provide excellent guidance. I am very pleased with results and love my new home."
Depending on what the blueprints are for, a qualified draftsperson, contractor, or architect can draw them up. In some cases, including specialty permitting for a build, you may be required to use a licensed architect.
In many cases, a blueprint drawn up by a certified professional is required before a city or municipality approves a permit.
Universal design is a design concept that states that products, spaces, and general environments are designed to be used by everyone, with an emphasis on accessibility for those with limited mobility or other special needs.
Balancing aesthetics with functionality amidst space planning is important. To do so, you could consider consulting both an interior designer and an architect to fulfill both these needs. Or you can tackle it on your own by prioritizing personal touches amidst space planning that add to the look but don't take away from the livability of the space.
Italianate architecture is a reinterpretation of Renaissance styles, combining elements of Italian farmhouses and villas with Victorian materials and construction. This home style emerged in the Victorian era, gaining popularity in the U.S. in the mid-to late-1800s. The style came about in response to what many then viewed as the too-rigid and stuffy Classical style designs.
Hiring a professional to do a loft conversion will certainly speed up the process. The construction steps required to change the slope of the roof can be quite difficult to do as a DIY job. Should the project run into any snags, like rot in the joists, frayed wiring, or roof leaks, hiring a local home remodeling professional makes it far easier to handle these issues safely.
