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.
Golden shore design and build team worked efficiently while paying close attention to every kitchen remodel detail. They kept the project going as greed and were always available to answer questions. The finishes are beautiful, and the craftsmanship is outstanding. Everything was completed exactly as promised. We highly recommend if you are in San Diego

These team is indeed a great company, they did a great job on my kitchen. My kitchen looks new. I would recommend this company to anyone in need of Kitchen remodeling.
I'm based in Texas but bought a fixer-upper in San Diego as an investment. The master bathroom was in terrible shape, so I hired Petra from GSDB to handle the remodel remotely. This was a big project, new layout, custom shower and vanity.
At first, I was worried about not being on-site, and there were some challenges. A material delay pushed things back a couple of weeks, and coordinating some of the design choices over email wasn't ideal. But overall, they did a fantastic job. They were patient with my questions and really went the extra mile to make sure I was happy with everything.
The final result is stunning. The tile work is flawless, the shower is exactly what I envisioned, and they even made a couple of smart design suggestions that improved the space. Seeing the finished bathroom in person made me realize I made the right choice. Worth every penny.
If you're out of state and need a trustworthy team to handle a remodel, I'd definitely recommend GSDB to do it.

The decision to build versus buy a 2000 sq ft house depends heavily on your local market and land costs. In areas like San Diego, Chula Vista, and National City, buying an existing home can sometimes be less expensive upfront because builders must account for rising material prices, permit fees, and labor shortages. However, building allows you to avoid costly renovations and outdated systems. For a comprehensive breakdown of these factors, we recommend reading our internal article titled Building a New Construction Home: The Complete Guide From Land to Move-In Day, which covers budgeting for new construction. While Golden Shore Design and Build focuses on custom projects, general industry data suggests that building a 2000 sq ft home can range from $300,000 to $500,000 or more, depending on finishes and site preparation, while buying an existing home of the same size in these cities often starts around $600,000 to $800,000.
