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.

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 $40,000 grant in California for Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) refers to the CalHFA ADU Grant Program, which provides up to $40,000 in financial assistance to eligible homeowners for pre-development costs. This grant can be used for expenses such as property surveys, title reports, and plan sets, helping to offset the initial planning stages of an ADU project. For homeowners in San Diego, Chula Vista, National City, La Mesa, and Spring Valley CA, this funding can be a valuable resource to kickstart your project. At Golden Shore Design and Build, we recommend consulting with a local professional to ensure your ADU plans meet all city-specific requirements, as eligibility and application processes can vary by jurisdiction.
The primary difference between a room addition and a JADU (Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit) lies in their definitions and requirements. A room addition simply expands the square footage of your existing home, such as adding a new bedroom or family room, and it must be attached to the primary structure. In contrast, a JADU is a specific type of accessory dwelling unit that is created within the walls of a single-family home, must be no larger than 500 square feet, and includes its own separate entrance, kitchen, and bathroom. A JADU also requires that the owner live on the property. For a detailed breakdown of these options and their local regulations in San Diego, Chula Vista, National City, La Mesa and Spring Valley CA, we recommend reading our internal article titled Room Addition / ADU (JADU). Golden Shore Design and Build can help you evaluate which option best suits your property and goals.
The cost to build a 1000 sq ft Accessory Dwelling Unit in California varies widely based on location, design, and materials. In the San Diego area, including Chula Vista, National City, La Mesa, and Spring Valley, typical costs range from $250 to $400 per square foot for a turnkey project. This means a 1000 sq ft ADU could total between $250,000 and $400,000. Factors influencing price include site preparation, foundation type, utility connections, and interior finishes. Permitting fees and local requirements also add to the budget. For a more precise estimate tailored to your property, we recommend consulting a professional.
