    Our new bench--LOVE this!
    Kat C.

    4.5 stars We did a full kitchen remodel soon after moving into our new home (before we got too settled). Due to unusual circumstances, we had a very tight timeline (see below for more details) so they were able to finish in 2 1/2 months. Overall, we are very happy with the end result and love our new, open layout! TL:DR version: - GREAT construction team/vendors and Fadil is the BEST project manager. Also the flooring contractor, Izec, is amazing. - Loved the design recommendations made by Shawn, like the floating shelves and bench by the window. - Pricing is competitive. Quality of work is fantastic. Designs are beautiful. - Area of improvement: better communication throughout the project. I had to be proactive and ask a lot of questions and follow up often. They offer both design and construction services, all under the same owner. This was convenient in that I only had to deal with one company and they took care of everything. Our project was unusual in that I was 6 months pregnant when we started the project. Typically, they don't start on construction until all materials are in stock but we needed to get things moving and completed quickly, so we ordered mostly standard sized and in-stock materials. The owner, Shawn, kept his promise on adhering to our timeline to the best of his ability, even as we ran into challenges with plumbing, structural, and electrical. His team worked tirelessly--even on weekends--to meet our deadline, without sacrificing quality or details. With any major construction, nothing is flawless. The one challenge I had, which may be unique to my circumstance, was getting proactive updates and just overall communication. At times, the construction team didn't even know what they were working on. Some of the designs didn't match the materials ordered. There was some miscommunication on which materials we were responsible for vs. what they would get for us. These were minor issues that eventually got resolved but it did cause me some stress and unrest. Highly recommend being proactive, with any big construction project, and staying close to the details... At the end of the day, despite some bumps, we now have our dream kitchen! And it was completed in record time! Last but not least, if you're told that any materials are "stuck" at the Oakland port, GET SOMETHING ELSE that's in stock. There is no ETA on when things will get unloaded at the dock...could be weeks or even months.

    We did a complete remodel of our primary bathroom and are happy we chose Shawn and his team for the job. Our original bathroom layout had an outdated and cramped layout. We went to Shawn requesting to create a more modern and open bathroom with the small space we had to work with. Shawn's team completely transformed it, bringing our vision to life. From the very beginning Shawn made the process seamless. He guided us through every step along the way. From the initial planning, design, blueprints, city inspections, and fixture selection, Shawn was very receptive to our feedback and quickly made edits to the 3D model blueprints. Having the 3D model blueprint really helped us visualize the final project and made us feel confident in our decisions. When it came time for construction, the team worked efficiently while providing high quality work. They demolished the entire original layout, stripping it down to the studs, and the finished product matched the final 3D blueprint perfectly. We're genuinely impressed with how smoothly everything went and how stunning our new bathroom looks. A big thank you to Shawn for leading the project and to our project manager, Faydil, for keeping everything on track and running smoothly. Highly recommend them if you're considering a remodel!

    Choose Shawn. This man turned our house into a home, and both my husband and I are very happy with how our kitchen reno turned out. Day one, Shawn walked into our kitchen and said the golden words "I see a lotta potential", which is exactly what we wanted to hear. Although we knew what style and general direction we wanted for the kitchen (ie. modern scandinavian with a touch of farmhouse), Shawn actually put his artistic pen to the paper. After 2 or so weeks, Shawn showed us a beautiful rendering, and we just couldn't wait to see it come to life. Once we decided to move forward, Shawn's team got to work immediately. I must say, Manwell (Shawn's GC manager) and his team is the most hardworking, detailed to attention folks I've ever seen, and you can really tell they take pride in their work. For example, our backsplash tiles are very tricky to do because every single one of them is handcrafted, meaning there are bumps & irregularity shaped, and has different color for each piece. However, the tile specialist really took his time, piece by piece, until they look perfect. And I just have to say, the results blew our mind, and it looks 1000 times better than on the original rendering. BIG shout out to Manwell for being the best GC manager we can ever ask for. You can tell he's very knowledgeable and skilled, and know every single corner of our kitchen inside out. Manwell is on site every single day, and for every single issue that came up, he is able to resolve it immediately with a solution. Every renovation has roadblocks (eg. delays, missing parts etc), but Shawn handled everything that comes up in a professional manner. He's very quick thinking and always comes up with the most efficient solution that is best for clients. We trust him 100% that he will always make the best decisions for us. We are very grateful to have chosen Shawn for this project, and will be enjoying our dream kitchen for the next 30 years! THANK YOU SHAWN!!!

    I hired create interior design for my home addition and renovation project. We added on square footage, took down walls to make the space more open concept, we renovated the kitchen and one bathroom and built a master en-suite. I chose them because of Shawn attention to detail, excellent communication skills, reassuring vibe and his apparent willingness to go above and beyond. We interviewed few contractors and designers, but he was the only one who created amazing 3d design to help me see the potential for my project. Shawn was also gave me a list with prices of all the finishing projects I would need to purchase, and it was priceless for the time that save me, (this my second reno) Throughout the reno we had unforeseen issues such as weather (extensive rain), needing to rent a temporary power pole, a very particular city inspector, and waiting on steps needing to be taken by the utility company that delayed my project. Shawn was very helpful, responsive, solution-focused, reassuring, and calmed me down when I was worried or stressed. Every time I had a question he would address it that day and was always willing to meet or speak about my concerns, then to help with problem solving. I love my newly renovated home and I would work with Shawn and create interior design again, Gidon .G

    Kitchen facing garage-access door (rendering on top, finished product on bottom)

    Our project started when we had an old kitchen and a poorly located garage-access door in the middle of our family room. We knew we wanted to update the kitchen and figure out what to do with the door, but didn't know where to start. A Facebook friend referred me to Shawn and he came to our rescue. We first connected with Shawn about providing designer services, just to help us imagine the possibilities and give us some photo-realistic renderings of what our space could look like. At our first walk-through he listened to our needs and offered up creative ideas to help us solve some of the challenges we were facing. We shared some Pinterest photos of design aesthetics we liked, and that's all he needed. He quickly turned around stunning renderings that were exactly what we were looking for. Not just for the kitchen, but for our living room, bathroom, and stairway as well. When it came time to move beyond the design phase, we compared contractor rates of some others but ultimately stuck with Shawn since he knew what we wanted and we trusted him to bring to life the vision he had so beautifully illustrated in his renderings! He did the hard work to identify materials and fixtures (e.g., tiles, flooring, countertops, lights, hardware, etc.) that fit our taste and brought us 2-3 options we could choose from, along with his expert opinion. He was cooperative, responsive, and had his team was here working hard every day. We lived upstairs during construction, and his team were respectful and efficient in their work. In 4 months, we had a fully remodeled downstairs that we are in love with! I'm including the photos of Shawn's renderings next to the final product. It's a perfect match! Thank you Shawn and Creative Design for designing and building the downstairs of our dreams.

    I really did not want to remodel our kitchen because of contractor horror stories,ours and almost everyone we knew. However our neighbor gave us a tour of her remodeled home and spoke about Create interior design in such glowing terms, my wife and I decided to call them. Shawn arrived at our house on the dot, He was easy-going, respectful and completely professional. He listened carefully to what we wanted, made some recommendations and created a rough design on his laptop because it was hard for us to imagine his ideas, He explained this wasn't the final drawing because it will take time to complete the full drawing design for our project, When we received the final design we couldn't believe it was going to be are future kitchen, Since our kitchen had to be gutted completely, I asked him how long he thought it would take. He said maybe around six weeks. I laughed but he was serious. He explained we had to do our part appliances, must be ready and waiting. That made sense and we agreed. After we signed the contract, Shawn and the Foreman Benjamin came for the final review. They measured everything and gave us a quote. We had investigated prices and theirs was competitive. We told Shawn we didn't have unlimited funds and he gave us many excellent suggestions on how to save money with the remodel. In the meantime, Shawn created a group text for us in case we had questions and suggested, we meet with one of the cabinetmakers he recommended. Andy, the cabinet maker, wasn't only a talented, but a good listener. He never tried to force his ideas on us but patiently explained the pros and cons of the different designs. He said he liked making sure everything was in writing and we would be satisfied with the result. When construction began, the workers were on time or early and only left after a full days work. They were courteous and very skilled. More than once, we were amazed at their artistry. They obviously took great pride in their work. They never left a mess if it could be avoided. Unless they were a specialist like a carpenter or electrician, the workers always had a foreman working with them. Speaking of foreman, Benjamin was such a delight that we still miss him. Shawn also had administrative staff coming by regularly to take pictures, check on the work and ask us if everything was OK. Judging from our friends contractor horror stories, we hit the jackpot in how Create handled fees. The only time they asked for money was after the specific work was done base on the schedule payment we had. One time the work was 90% completed and we suggested adding that to our check for materials. Shawn refused to accept any money until it was 100% completed and approved. They even credited us for work they did not have to do, even if it was originally in the contract, Everything ran like clockwork with this group,smooth, efficient and on time. If we had any issues, it was resolved promptly. Shawn was the heart and soul of our project and if he couldn't answer a question immediately(happened once), he would find someone who could. Like any construction, there were a couple of unexpected situations once the walls were open. One had to do with the electrical sub panel. This added several thousand dollars to our project and extended the time maybe a week or so. However, Create interior design offered us an excellent rate to fix it since this was not in our original contract.

    My wife and I had been wanting to re-do our dated/small master bathroom and half bathroom for a long time. After a lot of online searching and reading Yelp reviews, we reached out to Shawn to get his design ideas. From our first meeting, I knew Shawn was the real deal. He took careful measurements and immediately started telling us his ideas. We sent Shawn some inspiration pictures from various Instagram accounts, and he produced two incredible 3D renderings for the bathrooms. Shawn is a design genius! He truly respected our opinion and ideas, but wasn't afraid to give us his professional opinion if he thought there was a better way to go. After a few minor changes to the designs, Shawn and his crew got started on the construction part of the job. We were impressed by Shawn's crew from the start. Not only were they incredibly attentive to every last detail and bringing Shawn's designs to life, but they treated our house as if it was their own. They diligently covered the floors and all of their work spaces, and after work each day, they would sweep and vacuum to make sure no mess was left behind. At the end of the project, Shawn and his lead construction guy made sure we were 100% satisfied with the job. If we saw anything that needed fixing or adjusting, they made sure to correct it. We are so happy we chose Shawn and recommend him to anyone looking to design or remodel their home.

    3d rendering

    This review is long overdue. My husband and I wanted to remodel our home for years. We spoke with many Contractors and Architects. No one could provide the direction we needed to reach our desired result. After many years of false starts and getting not so great advice, we met Shawn. We hired Shawn for Design. We were blown away with renderings that Shawn provided. He listened to what we wanted and delivered. He really helped us maximize our current footprint and function. Having his vision and plans made our construction project run so much smoother. Actual pictures post construction and Shawn's rendering for comparison. I highly recommend.

    We had such an amazing experience with Shawn and Create Interior Design. Shawn designed and remodeled three bathrooms in our home and we couldn't be happier. We were very impressed by Shawn's designs. He listened to what we liked - and what we didn't like - and gave us designs that reflected that. He also was able to produce designs that were very modern and beautiful, but didn't look like an AI generated instagram photo. They had a character and uniqueness that you only see when something is thoughtfully created just for you. We were also very happy with Shawn as a foreman of the project. To start, he was so flexible with us! We had three bathrooms remodeled and he was totally fine with the order we wanted to redo them. I feel like a lot of contractors would have forced the order of operations to best suit their schedule - not Shawn. He was also very diligent in ensuring the work was done just as the specs outlined; it's actually unreal how much the finished rooms look like the designs. Finally, everything was done on time and on budget (well, except for the things I added on during the project :D). I feel like that is people's number one concern with a remodel, and our experience was really, really great. Long story short: we remodeled three bathrooms, from top to bottom, and didn't have to worry or think about a thing. We can't wait for our next project with Shawn.

    We had the pleasure of working with Jill Finn of TANGERINEdesign LLC when our longtime designer was…read moreunavailable -- so she walked into a situation where we were already feeling a bit off balance. But from day one, Jill exceeded our expectations. The project involved tearing down an old, dilapidated screened-in porch that had never really worked for us -- too cold in the winter, too hot in the summer -- and transforming it into a usable interior room. We wanted to keep the light and airy feel of a porch while gaining insulation, comfort, and year-round usability. We also wanted ideas for built-ins: maybe a window seat, maybe bookshelves -- we weren't quite sure. Other contractors over the years had taken one look at the porch and declined to get involved due to its age and condition. Not Jill. She had ideas right away. Jill brings so much energy, creativity, and practical knowledge to the table. Even while juggling big personal commitments (like her son's graduation across the country), she delivered several strong design ideas within a few weeks -- and they were fresh, inspiring, and budget-conscious. She collaborated easily with our civil engineer, adjusting her drawings quickly to meet his needs. She also understands our local codes and regulations really well, and met directly with our contractors to make sure her designs were realistic and executable before we got too far into the process. On top of all that, Jill has a fantastic personality. She made the experience fun and engaging, and she brought a sense of momentum and confidence that really helped us move forward. I can't recommend Jill highly enough -- her creativity, responsiveness, and enthusiasm make her a true gem. If you're considering working with TANGERINEdesign LLC, you're in excellent hands.

I wanted the three rock star and ice hockey poster-splattered bedrooms to become serene new rooms for guests, including my sons and their sweet girlfriends. We had to re-configure a den that connects two of the bedrooms, and one bathroom was completely trashed. It was a big project, but we didn't have big bucks. Yoko went over the cost of every potential item and where we could save, showing incredible patience. Her workers are respectful, wonderful people, and that meant a lot; they were in our home for months, and I really enjoyed them. I so appreciated that the project was completed on schedule; I'd heard horror stories of remodels that never ended. The house has been transformed! I am no longer ashamed when guests come to stay. Best of all, my sons are no longer embarrassed to bring their girlfriends into their ratty old rooms. The rooms are comfortable for everyone, with great pops of color and interesting art.
