The quality of his team and his work is exceptional and we ended up with a fantastic new master bathroom. His designs tend toward contemporary and coastal which fits the vibe of Carlsbad and the surrounding area. He is attentive and at the job consistently which was important to us after having previous contractors who didn't always show up, or, sent their team and didn't come to oversee the work. Our job involved moving our shower, changing out windows and re-doing the bathroom from the ground up. We went from a dated, non functional bathroom to a modern, beautiful and highly functional bathroom that is now a feature of our house and is enjoyable to use. I highly recommend Drew and his team.

Coast To Coast Restoration

I recently completed a major renovation of my kitchen, master bathroom, and powder room following a…read morewater damage claim, and I couldn't be happier that I chose Coast to Coast. I'm the type of person who is very specific about what I want and I did my homework. I got four different bids for this project, and C2C was the clear winner. Their quote was completely itemized--which I appreciated--and ended up being well under every other retail bid I received. Two people really made the difference: Mary and Bolo. Mary is a literal pro when it comes to the insurance side of things. She worked tirelessly on the supplements to ensure we maximized our RCV payout from our insurance. She caught things the adjuster missed and helped us get the settlement we actually needed to do the job right. Bolo, the project manager, was extremely responsive and reasonable throughout the entire build. Whenever a technical issue came up--even complex stuff like electrical circuit stability or specific plumbing heights--he was there to talk it through and get it handled. One thing I will say for people considering them: you need to be the kind of homeowner who has the capacity to stay on top of the work. If you know exactly what you want and you're willing to stay involved in the day-to-day details, C2C is an incredible solution. It's a partnership, and because I stayed engaged, we were able to hit a level of quality that usually costs twice as much. The house looks amazing (see the photos of the Blue Thunder Quartzite and the Jade tile!). They were fair, they were fast, and most importantly, they were responsive. Highly recommend if you want high-end results without the "luxury markup" of other firms.

This is the second water leak mitigation & restoration we've done with C2C and while the PM on the…read morerestoration portion was outstanding this time, overall, there were more issues with the mitigation than last. Specifically, they subbed out the demo portion to another company which incurred more costs and thus lead to rejection of payment by insurance company. Or rather, it was ruled as costs extending beyond ordinary expenses. Had it been included with the mitigation equipment, the insurance would've likely accepted it, as it did last time. The actual work performed by everyone was great in the end, just as it had been last time. Everything was remediated properly and more importantly, timely. Brandon the PM on mitigation along with David the PM on the restoration side were great, with David being the most responsive and communicative PM I've ever worked with. Meaning, updates everyday, as promised. That was the best part of the whole project for me as an anxious homeowner. I will say that my own insurance agent didn't help matters either in this case. He was super hard to work with and eventually C2C had trouble reaching him. This also soured the whole experience as everyone worked to track him down by phone and to prove that all expenses were legitimate. I'm on the fence as to whether to use C2C again for mitigation. Would not hesitate to use them for restoration though.

This was a complex project requiring precision across multiple disciplines, and the team delivered flawlessly on every front. The craftsmanship was evident in every phase: Structural & Exterior: The stucco work on the exterior is seamless, blending perfectly with the existing structure. Interior Finishing: The drywall work and painting (both inside and out) were handled with meticulous care, leaving the office looking better than the original build. Product Quality: They selected and installed an excellent XO configuration window by Imperium, which has completely transformed the light and feel of the space. What impressed me most was their professionalism regarding logistics. TNT navigated the Carlsbad city permitting and inspection process with ease, ensuring everything was carried out in a timely, compliant, and careful fashion. A special thanks goes to the project manager, Ethan Dreiman. Ethan's coordination was top-notch; he stayed in close contact with me throughout the entire lifespan of the project, fielding every concern with patience and expertise. It is rare to find a firm that balances high-end technical skill with such proactive communication. I highly recommend TNT Design & Build for any homeowner looking for high-quality, stress-free renovations.

Bill is a true craftsman! I've had a wood gate that has needed rebuilding for the last 8 years…read more Pieces of the wood gate were rotting. Over the years, I've had other handymen pass on the project. I had a handyman who was able to fill the rotted areas with wood filler, sand it, and restain it. I've even had a gate company tell me that they could not save the gate; it would need to be completely replaced. Bill was able to cut out the rotted pieces of wood, replace them, and restain the whole gate (he also repainted the decorative hardware on the door as well). Moreover, he discussed the project with a buddy of his and they determined that the gate was sitting over a muddy part of landscaping which is probably what facilitated the deterioration of the wood. We found some leftover pavers in our storage shed and Bill extended the pavers so the gate would sit over pavers instead of mud. Before he embarked on the wood gate repair, Bill also installed a valance/shade over a window. He made the necessary calculations to ensure that the valance/shade would be centered on the wall and window. He also made sure that the valence was leveled. Bill is honest, meticulous and detail-oriented. If you want someone to treat your project and your home, like it's his own, I would give Bill a call.

We have a galley style kitchen and we thought that we wouldn't have to spend so much on tile materials because let's face it we don't need much. 30sf here 30sf there... I like many renovating homeowners watch HGTV like it's going out of style and well I saw a kitchen that I could just die for and it had the most beautiful tile backsplash. So I was on a mission I can have the same look, until I went to Lowes and saw that each PIECE was $20.00 ++a square foot. Um $600.00++ for a back splash I think not!!! I knew I could find this tile somewhere else so I did some research and happened to stumble upon an online wholesaler who happened to be in Southern California, (so I called) who happened to be in San Diego, who happened to be right around the corner from where I work. As I walked in to this office space I was greatly surprised by the sheer beauty of what they had to offer.. All the new and up and coming tile materials you could think of all in this showroom. The Five Elements is by far the nicest place I have been to here in San Diego I thought for sure this was going to be a spendy trip. I was WRONG they had exactly what I wanted for a phenomenal price. I ended up doing my kitchen and bathroom and now we are thinking about doing 1 more bathroom. If you are looking for innovative tile from the floor to the walls you should check this place out!
