Constraction reviews in San Diego, California

Back in early August of 2025, we began the process of gathering bids for a bathroom remodel project. One of the companies who came to the house (Designs4You). When Olivia and Liam arrived, they were incredibly polite, friendly, and remarkably helpful in helping us to navigate the ins and outs of choosing a company to complete the project. While their pricing was on par with all the other companies we surveyed, they went above and beyond by showing us how to do our homework, investigate whichever company we ultimately chose, and picking one who we could could trust. That alone was enough to persuade us to go with them and we could not be happier.

The process (delayed by the uncontrollable city permit office) went incredibly smoothly from start to finish. Olivia and Liam spent time talking design, shopping with us and helping to pick out complimentary products, and visited throughout the project to ensure every aspect of the project went smoothly.

The finished project turned out amazing: fresh, beautiful, and functional. All the workers who came daily were polite, professional, and cleanly. I cannot say enough how please we are with the project and we would not hesitate to utilize them for future projects when the time comes. Olivia, especially, was a refreshing project manager who put in a lot of personal time to come by and meet with us on a regular basis and we really appreciated her personal touch.

We hired Designs for You to landscape our new build backyard lot. The project called for the installation of drain pipes, pavers, artificial turf, irrigation lines, in-ground electrical line, planting shrubs and pergola installation. Ms. Stacy Fisher (sales rep and site manager) expertly walked us through the entire process from start to finish. She put together a solid contract with all required items annotated to include price, payment timeline, customer and company responsibilities, and expected completion date. The project started well and we were on track to a great finish. Unfortunately, the City's building permit process was slow, unresponsive and unwilling to compromise. After a month of waiting, the City ultimately denied the pergola based on single family lot/zoning codes that were previously waived for our Big Box Builder. Unfortunately, this double standard is one that could not have been anticipated. However, the owner of Designs 4 You, Mr. Omer Abitbul, made it right for us. He absorbed all pre-reconstruction costs (a clear business loss) and also gave us an additional 15% discount for the inconvenience of project delay and loss of property use. This is an excellent example of a client based, reputable company "doing the right thing" in a less than auspicious situation. In short, it was a great experience and we received a quality product at a reasonable price to be enjoyed for many years to come. Thank You Omer, Stacy, Henry and crew. Best, George & Gayle

I am happy to say my project was completed in less than 6 weeks. My project manager was Dorian. He helped with my vision and had a lot of patience with my questions and changes. Creating a Zen space could prove challenging but Dorian got the job done. My backyard is Zenfabulous!!
A big thank you to Dorian and all at Designs 4 You.

This company and their staff did a wonderful job on my back patio building a patio cover. They were efficient , cleaned up after themselves and it was done to perfection. I would definitely encourage others to use this company for their design services.

Fantastic Experience with Patricio and His Team!

We couldn’t be happier with the work Patricio and his crew did on our backyard! From start to finish, the entire process was smooth, professional, and efficient. Patricio took our space from a plain dirt lot and completely transformed it into a beautiful, functional outdoor area.

He designed everything perfectly — incorporating pavers, a DG trail, mulch areas, and fresh grass — and the final result looks amazing. His design sense and attention to detail really brought our vision to life. The best part? The project was completed quickly and right on schedule

Workmanship was extraordinary. Under Omar's leadership, each skill - masonry, irrigation, lighting, planting - was executed well. Dorian helped source materials and kept project momentum going. A tricky drainage issue was solved with a simple solution. Crews kept the job site clean and safe. We're thrilled with how our backyard looks, especially since it was finished in time for the holidays. I would choose Designs 4 You for other projects in the future.

One of our friends referred us to Designs 4 You since she recently had her backyard remodeled and had a great experience.

We first met Roni, our project manager, during an in-home consult. It was wonderful meeting her and she did an excellent job listening to our wishes first and then sharing her vision for our backyard project. It was very helpful to see the 3-D render provided to us to truly envision what our backyard would look like. She is extremely experienced in her role and always has us, the customers, as her priority. She was readily accessible and communicated very well with any questions, comments, concerns that came up during the course of the project. She was available via text and phone call. She respected our time with our busy work schedules and was very accommodating to ensure that we had the support we needed.

We greatly appreciate all of Roni’s recommendations, particularly since this whole process was new to us. Roni’s honesty, clear communication, and suggestions helped develop trust. This trust and collaboration was pivotal to our families trust in the process during these big changes being done in our home.

We live in an HOA and her team helped with all HOA-related questions, applications, etc. It saved so much time and hassle on our part and they did with ease and profesionalism. They never cut corners and made sure that everything was up to code and HOA-compliant.

We did encounter some weather challenges, particularly rain, that delayed the project. However, Roni and her team were vigilant and communicated with us regularly as to when they would be able to safely resume the project to ensure that the integrity of all the construction materials would not be compromise by the elements.

Prior to our renovation, our family did not use our backyard as much given that it was just dirt and not a pleasant space. However, now with such a beautiful remodel, we are enjoying our backyard to the fullest. In all honesty, the end result looked almost identical to the 3D render/design— it’s spectacular!

I would most certainly recommend Designs 4 You for any person or families, wishing to renovate their home to create a lovely, livable, and enjoyable space!

We worked with Project Manager Joe Hillel on a non-dwelling “rebuild” of our outdoor shed to go from an 100 year old crumbling, leaking garage with existing plumbing for laundry to a beautiful well-made out building for laundry, tools and stuff and a full bathroom followed by reconstruction/remodel of our only interior bathroom. The “rebuild” is in quotes because we required by the city to rebuild rather than build new. Really though, it is hard to see what remains from the original, and that is a very good thing because it had wood rot, termite damage, etc. Our experience was very good. Joe and the office team worked through San Diego’s very long and tedious permit application process - a process that is not for the impatient or faint of heart!

Once we were able to begin construction, we truly appreciated and were impressed by the communication that happened throughout the process between Joe as the Project Manger and George, the Foreman as well as George and the crew. Everyone was reliable, conscientious, and demonstrated respect for our little part of San Diego, which in our experience is not something all crews and companies do. Additionally, we consistently saw other folks from the main office come through to take pictures and check in on progres, or come by for inspections.

We are very happy with our new out building - we call it “The Out House” - and our interior bathroom and look forward to enjoying them for many, many years to come.

I am not yet ready to think our future projects (it is an old house and there will be future projects…), but when it is time, we call Joe H. at Designs4You. He cares about the work, customer satisfaction, and brings lots of experience to the project. Perhaps most importantly, he is an involved project manager.

Though we had a relatively small patio project, Roni Abitbul and her team, including Luis and Santiago, gave it their full attention and expertise. From our initial meeting, Roni had all the facts, figures, and costs at her fingertips and we set a start date. I was very impressed with her knowledge of construction and codes, ability to foresee potential issues such as drainage, clarity about the scope of the project, and willingness to offer alternative solutions. Roni is a TOTAL BOSS! The crew worked with my husband on his design ideas and additions to the plan. Though we had a few unforeseen setbacks (doesn't every construction project?) due to tree roots and historic home issues, everyone rolled with it and we finished with excellent results. We found all the crew and foremen to be respectful, prompt, cheerful, and very good about communicating. We are left with a transformed outdoor space that we will enjoy for many years to come. Our sincere thanks to Roni and her top-notch team at Designs 4 You - I would recommend them to anyone for a remodeling project, large or small!

We’re absolutely thrilled with the final results of our new backyard patio—Designs 4 You exceeded our expectations from start to finish!

Roni, our project manager, was phenomenal. She clearly explained their entire process for hardscaping our small backyard and made sure we understood each step along the way. Her communication was consistent and proactive—always keeping us updated and advising us on what to expect next.

Daniela also did an outstanding job managing the HOA submittal process on our behalf. She handled everything from start to finish and kept us fully informed throughout. It was such a relief not having to navigate that ourselves.

The crew was amazing—100% professional, on time, and very respectful of our property and plants. They cleaned up thoroughly at the end of each work day and completed the project ahead of schedule!

We’re so happy with the transformation. Sharing a few after photos so others can see the quality of their work—we highly recommend Designs 4 You if you’re considering an outdoor (or indoor) project! They provide very high quality service and guarantee their work.

Designs 4 You absolutely crushed our backyard remodel. Sharing our before and after photos... they speak for themselves. But we also want to shout out our team - Patricio was our project manager, and he was so helpful and responsive. And then Allen & his team made Pato's vision a reality. We'll definitely be using D4U again for future projects. And can't wait to enjoy our yard all summer long!

We have done a lot of remodeling over the years on different houses and properties but this experience with Designs 4 You has been among the best we have ever had.

Our current project was a four bathroom remodel including a master bathroom which required complete demolition to the studs, resizing windows, and a complete re-imagining of the interior and exterior space.

I attribute the success of our project primarily to Adaya, our project manager. She was not the first to bid for the project but she was definitely the last. She immediately grasped not only what we were hoping for but also exactly what needed to done. It did not take long to know we were in good hands.

After that, she took care of everything, which eliminated much of the stress of a big remodel. She connected us to a great designer (Hila Designs) who provided us with the perfect design and finish recommendations. The whole process was quick and enjoyable.

Construction phase is never easy but Adaya’s team was amazing, especially Eddie who oversaw the hard work. We valued his input on every aspect of the project.

Five stars for Designs 4 You but if you are lucky enough to get Adaya, Hila, and Eddie on your project you will not be disappointed.

I decided to redo my backyard. It was fine, but the existing retaining wall had water damage, and there was a shed that I wasn't getting any use out of. The artificial turf was also not the greatest quality, and got really hot in the summer. Olivia and Dorian were my project managers, and after some communication issues, Olivia was great about keeping me updated. The project included demolition, regrading such that water drained correctly, ground compaction for hardscape, excavating for the new retaining walls, new walls, paver install, turf install, and DG install. I even got lights to install into the retaining wall for added benefit at night. All in all, the work got done well and was reasonably priced. Olivia was great to bounce ideas off of and had an eye for style that matched strongly with my own. She was able to help me with a design based on my vague requirement that it be simple and easy to maintain. Overall, I'm happy with my new yard, and the process overall. She even gave me some ideas and tips for future projects when I talked to her about what I would like to get done. Even if it wasn't with Designs4You, she had recommendations on products I could try or ways I could space out the work so it wasn't overwhelming. Only thing I would change is making sure communication was crisp throughout the process to avoid any possible misunderstanding, especially if the project managers are juggling a lot of jobs.

I've attached photos of the before state and after state of my new backyard, and the dogs absolutely love it!

The backyard of our 1950's home was in desparate need of an update. Our original retaining wall had seen better days. Our fence needed replacing and in some areas it was just chain link. We also had an outdoor shed that needed a complete gut to make it into a usable part of the yard. We had very specific ideas of what we wanted. The team at Designs 4 You headed by Seth and Liam were able to take our ideas and turn them into a reality. Henry, the project foreman managed multiple crews who specialized in the various aspects of our project. We are beyond happy with the finished result. We could not have done it without this incredible team.

I'm giving a 5 Star review to Designs 4 You for thier superb work, great quality and communiccation in completing our backyard project! We had a 30 year old brick and white porcelin tile barbecue island and a 20 year old gazebo. The dated step up platform was an eye sore as well. Roni and Liam, project managers, Henry, the foreman and the entire team transformed our backyard to our dream bbackyard.😍 The pavers, concrete island and matching retaining wall stucco color is a game changer! The iisland has two GFi outlets installed to perfectiion!! The team arrived every morning ready to work and cleaned up every afternoon before they left! Roni and Liam constantly checked on the job daily. I can not forget to mention the ease of the association process, payments, the city permit, receipts, and all of the administrative work that happened behind the scenes!!! Daniela, YOU ROCK!! Thank you for taking care of ALL of the paperwork and making our lives easy! You are too kind❤️

Designs 4 You exceeded our expectations with a complete backyard remodel that transformed our outdoor space beautifully. From start to finish, the team was professional, efficient, and attentive to our needs. Our project managers, Roni and Dorian, were incredibly responsive and knowledgeable and guided us through some stressful complications uncovered along the way. They met all their goals within the agreed timeframe, and the craftsmanship and attention to detail in the final product are truly outstanding. We are thrilled with our new backyard and highly recommend Designs 4 You for anyone looking for expert remodeling with excellent customer service.

We’re so happy with how our backyard turned out! The lighting completely transformed the space, it feels warm, inviting, and gives the yard a modern, resort-like vibe. The way the lights highlight the plants and cast shadows on the fence looks amazing at night.

Ronie was wonderful to work with, super responsive, kind, and easy to connect with. She really listened to our ideas and loved what we had in mind, which made the whole process feel smooth and collaborative.

The quality of the work is excellent, from the clean tile installation to the thoughtful lighting design. We’ve already had neighbors compliment how great it looks. Overall, we couldn’t be happier and definitely recommend them if you’re looking to upgrade your yard.

Matan and his crew completed our projects, landscaping, rebuilding decks and painting exterior of our home, professionally and with excellent results. We are very pleased. The crews were exceptional. From initial quoting to project completion Matan was always immediately available. He personally assisted in obtaining permits from the HOA. We look forward to working with Matan and his crew on our next project. We highly recommend Matan and Sunny Builders Group. Definitely deserve 5 stars.

Vanessa is an outstanding project manager! She made sure to communicate with management every step of the way. I would definitely recommend Sunny builders and Vanessa to make your project a reality , thank you all for your hard work !

Definitely will hire them again for my next projects.
I will highly recommend Sunny builders group to all of my friends and family .
