Alex, Petra and the team at Golden Shore Design and Build did an excellent job on our kitchen and master bed/bath remodel. We had a very ambitious project plan, including a full gutting and remodel of the kitchen and dining room space and a full gutting and remodel of the front half of our upstairs. The kitchen came first, and took around 3 months due to some unexpected issues that arose from the original construction of our 50 year old home, and a stone cutting subcontractor that botched his end of the job and then ghosted the company. Golden Shore Design and Build immediately promised to handle a full correction of the issues that subcontractor caused at their expense, and then proceeded to follow through on the promise.
Once the kitchen was nearly finished, it was time for the upstairs. We gutted the non-structural walls in the front half of the house upstairs, and proceeded to put together a beautiful master bathroom / bedroom suite. That job took around 3 months as well, and ended up finishing a bit ahead of the original timeframe.
I won't say there were not small issues that came up throughout the process, but that is really to be expected. We are doing major construction on a 50 year old home, and living in the home the entire time. When there were imperfections that needed fixing, Alex and Petra took care of them. When there were unexpected problems that arose due to the age of the home, they gave us honest and reasonable change order quotes, and options to not break the bank.
The work that Alex, Petra and their entire team of people did really brought our dream design to life, and we are thrilled with the end results! We are even planning on having them back to do a guest bathroom that we originally left out of the scope.

We did a full kitchen remodel plus a guest bathroom update. They suggested a few layout changes that added storage we didn't think was possible. Counters,tiles and hardware all look high-end without feeling flashy. Daily updates and a clean job site made the process easier. Results exceeded what we were hoping for.
Our dated kitchen and primary bathroom got a complete overhaul. New island, better appliances, and a really well-built shower changed how we use the house. They kept us in the loop and handled inspections without drama. House stayed livable and they wrapped up when promised. Quality of the finished work is excellent.

We updated the kitchen and both bathrooms in our older SD house. The kitchen now has real storage and better lighting, and the bathrooms finally feel current. Tile work and cabinet installation were done carefully. They stayed on the original budget and cleaned up at the end of each day. Very happy with how everything turned out
The kitchen was cramped and the powder room was falling apart. They reconfigured both rooms and the flow of the first floor is so much better. Soft-close cabinets, a new vanity, and good lighting made a bigger difference than we expected. Project stayed organized and they finished on schedule. Recommend them if you need kitchen and bath work done right.
We chose Golden Shore Design and Build to do our master bathroom renovation after meeting with and getting quotes from five different contractors. We decided to go with them based on reviews of their previous work, the thorough and realistic explanation of how the work would be done, and also because their estimate for the work was actually lower than the others. We were dealing directly with the company owner, Alex, in getting the estimate and finalizing the contract details.
Alex provided a complimentary design concept rendering at the start and made good suggestions for the choice of materials and fixtures. It was a complete bathroom remodel (floor, walls, all fixtures, additional lighting, etc.). The work crew were polite and efficient. As with any home renovation there will be dust, however the guys were diligent in minimizing this as much as possible. Everything was done in just over two weeks, including the necessary city inspections (Alex took care of arranging those).
The bathroom came out looking beautiful, the tile work on the floor and in the tub area is gorgeous. Thankfully, no major issues cropped up when the floor and walls were opened up, and the guys devised a great solution to make the vanity fit perfectly in the slightly larger area (the original vanity was custom built during our condo's construction in 1988). Alex oversaw the progress of work with frequent job site visits and a final inspection. So, a positive experience and we now have a beautiful master bathroom. Would work with them again if another project comes up.
P. S. We had Golden Shore do some minor work in our second bathroom (fan upgrade that took some tricky installing/wiring and drywall work), and it came out looking great.

For free 3D design, you can explore several excellent online tools. Tinkercad is a beginner-friendly, browser-based platform ideal for simple models and basic home improvement concepts. SketchUp Free offers a more robust web version for architectural planning, which can be useful for visualizing room layouts or small renovation projects. Fusion 360 for personal use provides powerful parametric design capabilities if you are a hobbyist or small business. While these tools are great for initial concepts, professional-grade results for complex builds often require advanced software.

Yes, you can 3D design on your phone using various mobile apps that offer basic modeling tools. However, for professional-grade architectural or construction planning, a smartphone has significant limitations. Mobile apps often lack the precision, rendering power, and file compatibility needed for detailed building designs. If you are planning a renovation or new build in San Diego, Chula Vista, National City, La Mesa or Spring Valley CA, we recommend using a desktop or tablet with proper software. For expert guidance on translating your ideas into accurate blueprints, Golden Shore Design and Build can help bridge the gap between mobile concepts and real-world construction.
To obtain a 3D design for your project, the process typically begins with a consultation to define your vision, budget, and space requirements. A professional designer will then create detailed 3D renderings that allow you to visualize every angle before construction begins. These designs help identify potential issues early and ensure alignment with your expectations. For expert guidance, you can explore our internal article 3D Designs, Architectural Plans & Engineering, which covers the full workflow from initial concepts to final blueprints. Golden Shore Design and Build emphasizes that a clear 3D model is essential for accurate planning and communication between you and the project team, saving time and reducing costly changes later.
