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.

We had a great experience with this company remodeling our kitchen and bathroom. The whole team was friendly, easy to work with, and always kept us updated throughout the process. They paid attention to the little details and made sure everything turned out exactly how we wanted.
Our kitchen looks amazing now, and the bathroom feels completely transformed. The work was done on time, the quality was great, and the pricing was fair. Definitely recommend them if you're looking for honest people who do really good work.
The kitchen remodel brought a fresh new feel to the entire home. Golden crew stayed focused and handled everything with care. They were easy to reach and always explained the next steps. The end result is both practical and beautiful kitchen
The kitchen update we got is beyond what we dreamed possible on our budget. Golden crew maximized every inch of space while creating a warm, inviting atmosphere with the new quartz counters and soft-close drawers. Even the plumbing and electrical upgrades were done seamlessly. The entire process was smooth, and their designer helped us pick finishes that we’ll love for years to come.

We did an ADU project with this company and overall we are very happy with everything. My husband and I were looking for some time for someone we could trust, as this project can bring up lots of stress for the family.
The planning process went very smooth and they explained everything in simple ways for us. And I like to ask all the questions 🙂 They helped with ideas, city process and always answered when we had questions.
Construction also went very good. We were so suprised and pleased. Of course like any new construction project there were some small hiccups and unexpected events during the process, but the important thing for us was that the company did not disappear on us or made excuses. They stayed on top of everything and solved problems fast and professionally.
The crew was respectful to our home and family and communication was always good. In the end the ADU came out so beautiful and we are very satisfied with the result.
We would definitely recommend them to other families looking to build ADU and use them in the future for any construction project we need

The 30% rule for renovations is a general guideline suggesting that the total cost of your home improvement project should not exceed 30% of your property's current market value. This principle helps homeowners avoid overcapitalizing, where the renovation investment surpasses the potential increase in resale value. For example, if your home is valued at $500,000, your renovation budget should ideally be around $150,000 or less. This rule is especially relevant in established neighborhoods like those in San Diego, Chula Vista, National City, La Mesa and Spring Valley CA.
