I could not be happier with the results of the redesign of my house and the resulting remodel!…read more Everyone who comes over can't stop complimenting it, especially my friends that saw the "before." My house had a 80's interior that needed updating but the prospect of redoing the whole house was so intimidating I didn't know where to start. Victoria was fantastic in coming up with a design that worked with the space, and she walked me through picking design elements, finishes, and fixtures that would work together and have am inviting, beachy, cohesive look throughout the whole house! Victoria worked to figure out how I use the house and what changes would improve it for me. Victoria created a design that made the space much more welcoming, and suggested subtle changes to the floorplan that made the house more functional and gave it a much better flow. She made renderings and designs to visualize the result, and make sure the contractors understood the design and intent. She made a spreadsheet with alternatives for materials and appliances with costs that helped to plan the project going in, and helped me avoid going over budget on a down-to-the-studs remodel on the whole house. Victoria helped manage the project including working with the general contractor to make sure work was performed correctly and in accordance with the design. She helped find specific detail contractors, like a custom stair rail fabricator, to make sure the vision of the house became a reality. I couldn't recommend Victoria and Sound of Home more, because of Sound of Home my remodel was a success.

This is a belated review…read more Erik hung 3 pieces of artwork for us back in December. They were all very large and ranged from normal weight to extremely heavy. Based on his reviews, we left it to his expertise / his discerning eye on the positioning of where on the wall each piece should hang so as to utilize the right amount of white space, and he did a fantastic job. He was on time, easy to communicate with, and a professional. It was obvious he knew what he was doing. We will use his services in the future again for all our artwork/photo hanging needs.

I knew Jonathan when we were both at USC for graduate school. After that, we went to pursue our own…read moreprofessional careers in the different disciplines of building design. As a structural engineer, I have worked with lots of architect designers, Jonathan definitely is one of the top designers for his creative mind, attention to detail, communicative and controlled process, and excellent aesthetic taste. After he founded his own business Jonathan Wang Design, I was lucky to work with him as a structural consultant from 2019. It's a great pleasure to work with him because I like to take challenges for his creative design, great project management process. Even though sometimes his extraordinary ideas cost lots of time of engineering to make it happen. His custom-oriented approach and exceptional understanding of beauty have always been not comprised. I look forward to continuing work with Jonathan to build more timeless masterpiece projects!

Your first decision is do you want or need a designer. Since we were designing and building our…read morehouse from scratch, we decided we did. And, at the end, we were very glad we did. In hindsight, the thousands of decisions big and small are made better when there is an experienced eye involved. We found that experienced eye in Jamie Roddy of EdenLA located in Manhattan Beach, CA When you hire an Interior Designer, what are your expectations? Do you want to give them some guidelines, get them to know you and then have them come up with recommendations? Or, do you want to work alongside of them in a collaborative manner? Jamie is equally good at either approach. In our case, we liked to collaborate with her in real time. My wife and I would sit with her in her studio in front of a big screen monitor. We would surf the web pulling together the furniture, materials, colors and accents that we all agreed upon. In some cases, she gently "guided" to consider things that on our own we might not have done. Now that we see those decisions in place, we're glad we were gently pushed to expand our thinking about what we wanted. You may not have the time to spend the time like that, but we did and we loved the outcome of the process.

We had an incredible experience working with Michael and Baldo at Bela Development. As first-time…read morerenovators, we were understandably nervous, but they guided us through every detail with patience, expertise, and care. They completed a full gut renovation of our primary bathroom and a renovation of our guest bath, and the results exceeded our expectations. The tile work is absolutely gorgeous, the attention to detail is next level, and the job site was kept impeccably clean--which was especially important since my partner and I were living in the house with our dogs throughout the project. That level of thoughtfulness made a huge difference. Baldo was amazing at problem-solving and offering smart ideas and workarounds, especially given the surprises that come with an older home (ours was built in 1977). Michael was equally outstanding--always diligent, responsive, and proactive in addressing any questions or concerns I had along the way. We were so happy with their work that we've already had them back to update our kitchen with new backsplash and tile work, as well as an outdoor bar. I can't recommend Bela Development highly enough. Skilled, trustworthy, and a true pleasure to work with from start to finish.

From the start, Tom and his team were easy to communicate with, responsive, and clear about the process. The project was finished two weeks earlier than expected, which was a great plus for us to be able to move in back sooner. When unexpected and unforeseen issues came up, Tom handled everything very professionally. He took the time to explain what was going on, walked us through our options, and helped us choose solutions that made sense - all without surprise costs and while staying within our budget. The quality of the work was solid, the crew was respectful and clean, and we always felt informed and comfortable throughout the project. We're very happy with the results and would definitely recommend Bela Development to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable contractor.

They were able to work with installed features that were recently added to the home but might not have been ideal if starting from scratch, that saved us time and money. But their ability to enhance each room with new and exciting finishes, furniture and art work made it a home with something to say. I think the home says, "come in and relax, we aren't fussy but we are very classy." While I am not a designer, I do have strong opinions and my likes/dislikes might be challenging for some folks. One talent Denise and the team had was to sort through so many options and bring to me what I liked without too much distraction. Their attention to detail and responsiveness always made me feel like I was a priority client even though this was not one of their largest projects. I personally enjoyed Denise and her staff and think of them as friends. Please give them a call, I highly recommend them!
