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 online platforms like Tinkercad, which is excellent for beginners and runs directly in a web browser. SketchUp Free offers a solid, web-based tool for architectural modeling. Blender is a powerful, open-source software for advanced projects, though it has a steeper learning curve. Fusion 360 for personal use provides a free license for hobbyists. While these tools are great for initial concepts, professional-grade construction documents often require more robust software. If you need a design tailored to your San Diego home, Golden Shore Design and Build can take your free 3D model and develop it into a fully detailed, buildable plan.
Yes, you can 3D design on your phone using various mobile apps designed for modeling and rendering. While these tools are convenient for quick sketches or conceptual work, they have limitations compared to desktop software. For professional-grade architectural or interior design projects, a desktop or tablet with a stylus is often preferred for precision and complex modeling. If you need detailed 3D designs for a home renovation or new build in San Diego, Chula Vista, National City, La Mesa, or Spring Valley, CA, Golden Shore Design and Build can guide you through the process. We recommend using dedicated software for accurate plans, but mobile apps are a great starting point for visualizing ideas.
To obtain a 3D design for your project, start by clearly defining your goals, budget, and space requirements. Professional 3D modeling typically begins with an initial consultation where a designer captures your vision and takes measurements. For a seamless process, consider working with a firm that offers integrated services. For detailed guidance on this topic, please refer to our internal article 3D Designs, Architectural Plans & Engineering. This resource explains the step-by-step workflow from concept sketches to photorealistic renderings. A quality 3D design helps you visualize finishes, lighting, and layout before construction begins, reducing costly changes later. Always request a portfolio of past 3D work to ensure the designer's style matches your expectations.
