We made the right choice with Kimber and Ed for our remodel, no need for you to look further. As a completely integrated design/build team with serious skills, this made for very effective management of our job from initial discussions, design decisions, change management, through job close out. Simply put - they made us happier than we expected all along the way. The job completely remodeled our kitchen and bathroom, including modifications and upgrades in other downstairs rooms. Amber did not force their ideas onto us. She listened to what we wanted and helped turn our concepts into reality, with Ed's practical input. Very refreshing when compared to other companies we initially contacted. She took us to shops, helped us narrow our selections, and showed us where to find discounts when making final selections. Ed was at our home for every work day, always willing to answer questions, and involved me quickly when decisions needed to be made. They stayed in constant contact throughout the job, and were always able to work around our schedule as the work progressed. On top of all this, they are simply great people. We have more work for them to do! read more

We recently had the absolute pleasure of working with Kimber and Ed from OC Design and build. They remodeled our bathroom, laundry room and pantry and the results were phenomenal. They met all their time commitments, stayed within our budget, and were great advisors as we made slight adjustments throughout the project. Ed and his team delivered top quality work. We all know it can be difficult and stressful to find a quality contractor, we were certainly fortunate to find this fantastic team at OC Design and Build! Thank you Ed and Kimber! read more

*****UPDATE***** Soooo, we finally finished. All told, it was probably around 3.5 months, instead of the 1.5 month we'd hoped for. But that is not really their fault, but the house's fault. If you only knew...LOL. But with each "surprise", we just rolled with the punches and I'm so grateful for Kimber's hand-holding and positive outlook. Not to mention, that we didn't need to live in the house while it was being worked on, or move back into it--that would've been horrible. I think someone summed it up best: "I can't believe you're finished with the remodel and you're still friends with your contractor." And I still can't believe Kimber and Ed want to do this kind of work, b/c personally, I would think it's like waking up to a nightmare everyday, haha! But as you can see from the photos below, they turned our nightmare into a dream. I only wish I had the "before" photos...if I find any lying around, I'll upload them. We finished too late in the year to get what we hoped for from the market, but hopefully will do well as buyers return in a couple months. It is truly stunning and I'm so proud of what they've done with it. read more

This review is long overdue but Kimber and Ed did a garage remodel for me and I couldn't be happier! They were very friendly and professional. They were great with communication as well. This was by far the best experience I've had with contractors. I would highly recommend OC Design & Build! read more

I absolutely loved working with Kimber, Ed and their team at OC Design and Build. To say they went above and beyond is an understatement. So many wonderful things to say. I needed a partial kitchen remodel and OC Design and Build were the most amazing crew. They were prompt, efficient, clean and always communicated if there were any changes or updates. Working with Kimber was incredibly easy and she is always so responsive. She coordinates everything and is amazing. With Kimber, you not only get the benefit of a wonderful contractor, but also an interior designer with extensive knowledge. She went out of her way to meet me at the slab yards, tile shop and cabinet makers to give me much needed advice and guidance, in order to achieve a cohesive and beautiful custom design. Ed, Juan and Kimber were always willing to think outside of the box to come up with great solutions, without extending the timeline or increasing the budget. Their attention to detail is impeccable. Throughout the process, Kimber and Ed saved me money and time where she could by advising on options for materials/parts and solving unexpected problems that came up along the way. No matter how big or small the job, you can trust OC Design and Build to get the job done right. Their crew was not only professional, but they also respected the work site and left it clean, each and every day. All in all, a very reliable and honest company to work with. I am so pleased with them that I have already hired them to replace my floors and I know that I will use them for future projects! read more

We had such a great experience working with Kimber and Ed over the past few months. We've worked with many contractors in the past and I must say this experience with OC Design & Build was a much smoother and more professional experience. Communication- This is key with any project and from the get-go, Kimber asked great questions, met us on site for estimates, and was extremely responsive. If there issues that arose (and when your house was built in the 50's things come up) they would reach out as soon as possible and be transparent about solutions. Value- At the end of the day, you pay for what you get in many of these scenarios. The cost was well worth the finished product and level of service we received. OC Design & Build is not the cheapest but the quality of the work was great! They were the most accurate about the transparency of cost upfront with no false promises. Quality of Work- Between Kimber's eye on design and Ed's attention to detail, it is hard to imagine a better duo. They helped come up with creative solutions in our unique spaces and Ed went above and beyond to make sure everything was done the right way. No cutting corners here! Kimber & Ed feel like family to us now and we plan to work with them again on future projects. We highly recommend OC Design & Build! read more

Kimber was a pleasure to work with. She quickly zoned in on what we wanted for our space by asking us questions about our style and by looking around our home. Her ability to get to know her clients and create to their taste is impressive. We were thrilled by the design she conceived for us through her vision. There was excellent communication throughout the process. Kimber was always on top of things. She immediately dealt with any issues and quickly found solutions. She collaborated well with vendors. Upon opening the boxes for the flooring, we selected along with her, we found that it was not like the images represented. She communicated with the vendors and together they expeditiously found flooring that suited and enhanced what we genuinely wanted. With this positive experience, we would work with Kimber on other home projects in the future. Our home renovation included a bonus room, bathroom, laundry room, hallway, and storage area in our walk out basement. She created the illusion of a waterfall in our shower using beautiful blue tones which seemed to fall upon a base of stones below. She made the transition from the bathroom she beautifully updated into the bonus room with warm tones in the wood flooring. She was able to pull subtle colors from the bathroom palette into the paint color for the room. The closet doors are beautiful in themselves and add a clean elegance to the room. The wood flooring seamlessly flowed into the hallway (and storage area beneath the stairs). The tiles she chose for the laundry room complemented the wood flooring in the hallway. The character and antique finish on the beautiful cabinets make it a pleasant place to enter along with adding much needed storage. read more

I strongly recommend OC Design & Build! I had them install 5 brand new windows in my home and my wife and I are very pleased. Thank you again!! Their pricing is very fair and the Workman ship and level of professionalism exceeded our expectations. It was a very easy process from start to finish and I never had any communication issues; they are the epitome of 5 stars. I work in Residential and Commerical solar and they have now become my top preferred roofing company and my customers are very satisfied with their work as well. Give them a call today and see for yourself. read more

Exceptional, simply exceptional! Kimber and Ed made the 8 month process of remodeling our 1960s house into a really wonderful experience. They were so utterly patient with our endless questions. The ideas they brought to the table were thoughtful of our family and how we intended to live in the house. When it came time for execution, they were experts in their craft. What do you do with old busted AC, multi level ceilings, and rusted bathtubs? They had an answer for everything we threw their way, including crazy schedule changes we instigated due to Life and moving and school calendars. Did I mention we did the remodel remotely from another city? For 8 months! Kimber was always wise, collaborative and communicative. We could not have made it through this year without her. Together she and Ed really made our idea of a home become a reality. The results are just beautiful. Thank you OC Design and Build team, from the bottom of our hearts. read more

​It is with great pleasure that we are writing this review for OC Design & Build. They are a very professional and reliable company that does what they promise to the best of their abilities. We were selling our house in Garden Grove and had an agreement with a buyer to purchase our home with the closing date fast approaching. During one of the final inspections, it was noted that the shower pan in the master bathroom was leaking and in need of repair. The potential buyer asked that we fix it before the transfer of sale and that is when we reached out to OC Design & Build to contract them to fix the issue. Upon further inspection, they noticed that there was damage and wood rot underneath the shower pan and that it was in danger of completely failing and falling through the floor of our raised foundation house. We were on a tight schedule due to closing and they were very accommodating to help us meet that deadline. Upon agreement, they started work immediately and got started the very next day. After removing the shower pan, they noticed that the floor trusses were completely rotted and were about to fail. They made the necessary improvements, completely replacing the floor trusses for strength, fixing any water damage caused by the leaky shower pan, installed a new pan with all of the state required elements for improving the shower, and all in a very timely manner. Then after the repair was completed, the finish work on the new tile they put in was amazing! I looked even better than before and both us and the new buyer were thoroughly impressed. I highly recommend OC Design & Build for any type of home improvement, remodel, or additions. They were easy to work with, professional and friendly, and worked non-stop to get our project fixed before our closing deadline. ​After the sale of our home in Garden Grove, we purchased a piece of land in San Clemente to build a new home on. We were so impressed with the quality of work and professionalism of the company that we decided to hire them to be the general contractor for our project. Throughout the process of planning and designing of our new home, they have continued with the professionalism and quality that they did on our bathroom project. We are excited about this endeavor with OC Design & Build and look forward to working with them through this project. read more

We had issues with our first contractor and had to get rid of them before finishing our home remodel. OC Design and Build came in and fixed the issues and brought us to a perfect final inspection. They are very friendly, reliable and communicate well. I definitely suggest giving their business a try! read more

Kimber and team are awesome. Communication was AMAZING! They were even able to problem solve a lot of spacing and functionality issues we were having in our home and did an amazing job on our kitchen and great room remodels! They even put in the extra effort to get us a few discounts with the vendors they use, which is above and beyond what we expected. They worked around our busy work schedules, were considerate of all our neighbors and even kept our house clean throughout the entire process! I would recommend them anytime. read more

I had a second-story addition that I hired OC Design & Build to help me with. To be honest, I expected this project to be a tough one. However, Kimber and Ed made it super manageable and fun. I appreciated how strait forward and honest they were. They helped me execute the vision I had and helped me see things with fresh eyes. I had some ideas that they truly brought to life. The communication throughout the entire project was very clear and did not falter from beginning to end. The quote that I received in the beginning was very reasonable and I was not nickeled and dimed throughout the process. The crew was excellent and very clean. The craftsmanship was on point. I was super impressed by how quickly they performed without taking any short cuts and their work ethic was impressive. The finish-work: flooring, tile, painting and interior design was absolutely beautiful. They not only met my expectations, they blew my mind. It was like being on one of those make-over shows. I highly recommend OC Design & Build and plan to use them again for future projects. read more

Amazing team to work with! They were timely, transparent on fees and costs, and always gave us options. We used them in our kitchen and will be doing a master bathroom remodel next. read more
