We just finished our ADU garage conversion and addition project, and I can't even express how thrilled we are with Ray and the whole construction team!Right from the get-go, Ray was incredibly friendly and easy to talk to. He patiently listened to all our ideas and wishes, and then, just a week later, he came back with this fantastic plan, a detailed cost breakdown, and a clear schedule for the entire project. It was like he knew exactly what we wanted!Once we got the green light with the permits, we couldn't wait to kick off the construction. And let me tell you, the team was fantastic! They were not only skilled but also genuinely nice people to have around. They showed up every day, kept things neat and tidy, and you could really tell they cared about the work they were doing.Throughout the whole process, Ray made sure to keep us in the loop with weekly schedules and constant updates. And on top of that, we had Ben making regular on-site visits, checking on the progress and making sure we were happy with everything.The best part was that even with a few extra things we asked for, like replacing the old garage roof and upgrading the plumbing, they still finished everything ahead of schedule! We were blown away!Now, we have this beautiful ADU that's even better than we imagined. It's clear that California Designers Remodeling takes immense pride in their craft, and it shows in every little detail.If you're thinking about any remodeling or construction work, do yourself a favor and go with Ray and his incredible team at California Designers Remodeling. They genuinely care about their customers, and their work speaks for itself. We couldn't be happier with the results!

I had a project to do in my house and I was looking for a contractor, I met one of my neighbors at the dog park, and when I mentioned that he told me about his contractor that he also referred to two other people and their project came out really beautiful and they are extremely happy.I contacted Ray and wasn't really sure what to do and how to improve the look in my living space. Ray was very creative and came up with amazing ideas. Although honestly, I couldn't fully visualize it at the beginning, I trusted Ray and went ahead with him. We did work at the back patio, tile floors, exterior painting, living room remodeling (including special ceiling molding, some interior painting, some recessed lights), work at the front deck rail, and driveway drain work. In the middle of the project Ray selected the paint colors and one of them was very dark blue, so when I saw that I called him right away as I was pretty hesitant about that dark blue color. But Ray asked me to wait and see the end-result and how everything will come together. And he was right - I am really glad that I agreed; the house looks STUNNING and more than anything I love my blue wall!I appreciate the overall service I received from Ray and his company. The were great communicators, I got prompt responses for any questions I had, and the crew was very professional and polite.I highly recommend Ray and his team!

I was very worried about finding the right contractor to do the work I needed. I didn't have the time or money for problems. California Designers Remodeling was excellent. They are honest and skilled and quick. The workers were very nice and considerate of my Tenant and got the job done in an amount of time I didn't think possible. The cost was more than reasonable and when issues came up, Ray was honest and even generous about negotiating my options. I recommend this company highly!

I cannot give enough praise to this company of high quality professionals. California design and remodeling performed a complete remodel of my kitchen, bathroom, and added a second floor to my home. The owner of the company was present from the day of the consultation through to the last day and after everything was completed. The entire project took exactly as long as was promised, which was less than 4 months. I did not pay a penny over the agreement. Pricing was very competitive and worth more based on the entire experience and outcome. The team of construction professionals showed up every day on time, and left my home perfectly clean and livable each and every day. Ray, the owner was recommended to me by another very happy customer in turn, I've already recommended him to a friend who is over the moon happy with their project. My home looks amazing!

I just finished a bathroom remodel in my old Spanish style house, which was completed by California Design Remodelers yesterday, and with which we are very pleased. Before choosing CDR as my contractor, I had probably met with close to 15 contractors, and when I met the owner Ray, and saw his attention to detail, and the suggestions that he made in the interview, he was a step above the best of the other contractors that I had seen. CDR worked with me on the design, and we made a few major changes during the way, which made for a much better layout. The quality of work is very good, and where I identified defects, they worked quickly to correct them. As to the price, very fair, and I believe that we got more value than we would have with the other bids that we had seen. The team for the project was very professional and respectful, led by the Project Manager, Sergio. They did everything possible to keep the house clean, and noise to a minimum, and cleaned up regularly. On the very few times that I had to contact Ray, the owner, he was very responsive. If you are looking for a contractor, you should definitely ask them to bid on your business.

California Designers Remodeling remodeled my condo in Studio City a couple of years ago (new kitchen, bathrooms, adding a laundry room, new A/C system). They did an amazing job and Ray the owner helped me a lot with the design, material selection, and with keeping my budget. Thank you!

We used CDR for heavy renovation on our teardown of a house: they redid all piping, gas, AC/heat, sewer connections/locks, flooring, plumbing, roof, walls, bedrooms, bathroom, etc. They also put pavers in the backyard and renovated the garage. So it was basically a rebuild from the studs up. Never had a single problem - no budget overruns, no project-creep, no hard sells, no upsells. They set a fast schedule, achieved each milestone on time, the crews were super professional (punctual, polite with neighbors, seemed to work together for a long time), and the work has lasted the 4 years we've lived in the house. Ray's team also had a lot of design input and steered us away from expensive options, and helped us maximize our small space. Plus they completely held our hand as first time homeowners when we had questions after they finished all the work. Highly recommend their work and happy to serve as a reference.

I had work done by them in my apartment via my management company (I would have never selected them as there are shady business tactic reviews to be found online if you do some digging). While the work they did looks great they are extremely unprofessional. My couch was destroyed, it looks like someone took a knife to it. Carpet/kitchen was not properly covered and I can back to dust everywhere. My personal vacuum was used to clean up the mess (and left covered in dust). The workers also left trash behind on my balcony. I'm currently in the process of negotiating a reimbursement for the damages and can only hope this will be handled in a professional manner. Buyer be aware.
