Constraction reviews in San Diego, California

I had a cracked and bent transmission mount that I could not replace do to the age of the car. Brought it to Morena Welding and they straightened and welded it back together better than new for a reasonable price. Would definitely recommend this shop.

I had a bad experience towing my travel trailer. I thought my bumper hitch was fairly solid until one day after going over bumps, the tounge weight of the trailer caused the bumper hitch to say almost taking the the whole bumper of the frame. Fortunately I remembered these guys. They did work for me before. Brought in the van, Nick gave some good idea on how to rectify the problem. About two hours later whola!!!! Got the bumper strait, and made a reinforced stabilizer that they welded to the frame so that the tounge dose not rest on the bumper but the weight is transferred onto the frame!! BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO!!!!!!!!!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THESE GUYS!!!!

Wow - I didn't think I could repair my Motocycle Part from my 1982 Kawasaki kz1100. But, Morena Welding did an Amazing job! Everyone in there was super Nice and Welcoming. Just simply Fantastic!

Got a broken 80 pound dumbbell?? Go see Mario at Morena Welding! Love this place. Thanks Mario!

Great experience from beginning to end. I called twice and they were courteous and answered all my questions. I simply needed 4” cut off of the uprights of a squat rack because I have a low garage ceiling. Other places’ turnaround time was weeks. Or I was told that the job was to small to accept. I took my uprights to Morena Welding and they were cut to the exact height in an hour and a half. I would definitely recommend Morena Welding to anyone needing any type of metal work.

These guys are seriously legit! I needed a real professional welder to fix a broken spring perch on my travel trailer. Mario told me to bring it down on the same day. He made a space for me to back in and they got started right away. Way more work than I expected, but they did a great job on the frame. The price was way lower than I expected it to be, so that was a nice finish. Give these guys a call if you need welding.

Family owned amazing shop! Everyone is very helpful and friendly. Troy is a gem. He is such an artist. He fixed my aluminum subframe with his amazing welding skills. He actually was so helpfully, he literally stopped all his tasks to help me because I told him that I was from Newport and he didn’t want me to come back again. Also, my car was not a easy fix. I am so grateful for Troy. Just go there if you need any type of welding needs. You won’t regret.

Mario and team were friendly and welcomed us with smiles. Excellent customer care on this elevated level is a rarity these days. We discussed our custom project and ordered it before we left. Great experience!

I needed to have some hinges replaced and re-welded, so after a fair bit of research, I decided to give MWelding a call. Maida is the good-natured individual who answered my phone call and demonstrated an appropriate understanding of the infrastructural job I needed done involving some tricky materials and surfaces. She was very transparent about how jobs are priced and gave an accurate estimate of how long/short this job would take based on similar past jobs. I really appreciate that. She set up a time for later in the week, and sure enough Salvador and Luis arrived on time (actually a little early!).

Sal and Luis were happy to talk me through what was going to happen and were patient to answer the few questions that I had for them before and during the job. They finished (including thorough clean-up) within the estimated time window without compromising the integrity or quality of the work.

Salvador and Luis said that we’d receive the invoice by email which arrived in following business days. Overall, I’m quite pleased with the result and customer service and, more importantly, relieved to add Morena Welding to our small list of “Emphatic Yes” Contractors to support.

Mario and team took great care of my small aluminum roof rack cutting job. They cut ten roof rack slats for my Sprinter van. The turnaround was super quick, the workmanship was top notch and the price was very fair.

Super friendly, very accommodating, fast, and well priced. I needed a small welding and fabrication repair on my motorcycle. My bike was in and out within a couple hours, and Chris made it look as good as new. Couldn't be more pleased. They are my spot for welding jobs now.

Working on a patio chair, I found the X leg assembly weld had broken. I took it to a nearby welding shop...where they ignored the perfect fit still visible and had a minimum $99 charge. No thanks! We are talking 2-1.5" welds where the legs join. I went to Morena, and they welded it while I waited, about 20 minutes, and charged me $30. After repainting, I went to instal it to the chair base and it fit perfectly! They understood the critical alignment, no problem. Nice to have my patio chairs refurbished, thank you.

Marea and team were a great asset and great help in the gut renovation of our house.

We worked with A Designed Space and couldn't be happier! They were able to help us with our interior space and manage a construction project. We were so pleased with the outcome. Marea is wonderful.

Working with Marea and her team at ADS was a pleasure from start to finish. What you can expect when working with A Designed Space:

-Respect for your budget constraints (and you'll get Marea's informed opinion on areas where you should splurge vs. save)

-Adherence to the timeline of the project and communication when there are hiccups or delays.

-Responsiveness when questions/concerns inevitably arise during the construction phase

-I underestimated the decision fatigue I'd feel with a project of this size (full kitchen remodel). Marea is invaluable in this area - she has the answers you need.

-It can be overwhelming when deciding on contractor(s) to work with - Marea and her team can provide referrals to trustworthy teams with whom she is also comfortable working.

-Marea has exquisite taste and will give you her honest feedback, while honoring the overall vision. Working with her helped me create a space that feels special and unique to my family - rather than a cookie cutter replica of a Pinterest image.

I take any chance I have to refer a friend or acquaintance to A Designed Space, knowing they'll be in good hands.

We brought ADS onto our project when we realized our design-build contractor was a lot heavier on the 'build' than the 'design'. Marea was invaluable in helping us utilize our space and come up with ideas we wouldn't have by ourselves. Not only is Marea a great designer, but she is communicative, thorough, and genuinely a nice person to be around. She went above and beyond when our original contractor backed out on us and tried to find us replacement. In addition, she remained extremely professional with a very challenging contractor personality.

On a final note, we were a couple that did not think we needed an interior designer, but now we could not imagine how the renovation would have gone without ADS. We would recommend Marea and her team to anyone!

We moved to San Diego in April of 2025. Our new house was very different from our old, so we did not bring any furniture with us.
We asked Marea and her team to handle all aspects of the interior design. The house was a classic real estate look with white walls everywhere. We only gave Marea a very general idea of what we wanted, but she took it and ran with it. She developed a comprehensive plan with choices of furniture, rugs, treatments, paint - including actual samples! We worked collaboratively through a number of iterations, with Marea supporting and advising along the way. Marea also coordinated a number of trades with a number of construction and electrical projects to support the design.

We are very happy with the outcome and love the space that Marea and her team helped create!

Great service.
