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.

We worked with Mor and TNT on a full home remodel in Carlsbad, and are happy with the end result. Our home is absolutely beautiful, and we receive compliments on it all the time. Mor did a great job helping us select materials in the showroom that translated beautifully into the finished space. Her eye for design--especially in the kitchen--helped us make the most of our layout, and she brought in thoughtful, practical suggestions that worked really well for a busy family. Mor is also a mom, and her real-life experience informed some excellent recommendations (such as flooring because we have a pool and a baby) that improved both the design and the functionality of our home. She was also flexible with her schedule, occasionally making herself available on weekends or outside of regular business hours, which we appreciated because we were coordinating the remodel from out of town. However, there were also times when Mor asked for quick (and important) decisions from us on short notice during the middle of the work week when we did not necessarily have the bandwidth to address the situation. With improved planning, these situations could have likely been avoided. One thing to note for future clients is that TNT does not prepare "mood boards" or provide what might be considered traditional design services like creating full design concepts. Clients will need to come to the table with a clear vision or inspiration, such as ideas from Pinterest or other design sources, to guide the process. Be prepared to reconsider design ideas after visiting the showroom. There were a few areas where the experience could have been smoother. Organization around materials and timelines could use some improvement. We recommend having a complete, room-by-room materials list created and finalized before construction starts to avoid delays or design challenges mid-project. In our case, we had to work directly with some product reps (for example, Pfister and Bedrosians) to get information, which added time and coordination on our end. There were also a few surprises, such as discovering post-order that our cabinet maker couldn't do panel-ready appliance fronts--something we wish had been clarified earlier in the process. Communication throughout the project could have been more consistent and clear. We understand these projects are demanding and everyone is juggling a lot, but improved delivery would have helped reduce stress during a complex renovation. It is helpful to understand what "builders' grade" means per the contract because certain items like, in our case, Sherwin Williams Emerald paint, or dimmer switches, were not considered "builders' grade." There were also some miscommunications within the team, such as the installation of handles on our closet doors without our prior approval, and a lack of understanding on TNT's part on how that occurred. Also, we specifically inquired about what the recessed lights would look like ahead of time, but instead of showing us, TNT installed their "builders' grade" choice without our prior approval. This communication lapse likely comes from TNT selecting "builders' grade" materials without specifically identifying those materials to the client beforehand. We did find it helpful to get second quotes on some sub-contracted work to ensure market pricing. We hired our own subs for re-piping and installing our new staircase. With TNT as the contractor, the pace of work was impressively fast, and the project was completed on time. When issues have come up since completion, the TNT team has been very responsive in coming back to address them, which we really appreciate. We ran into some complications with TNT's initial electrician, whose work had to be corrected by another professional after move-in, which caused a bit of disruption and expense on our end, as we were settling in and working from home. All in all, despite a few bumps along the way, the final product is something we are happy with. Mor brought creativity, commitment, and personal insight to the project, and we're grateful for her contributions. With a few process adjustments, we believe the experience could be even better for future clients. Another point worth noting is that we've already hired TNT for a future project. They will be assisting us in creating the necessary space for bi-fold/sliding doors. This continued partnership speaks to the fact that, despite the challenges we encountered during our whole home remodel, TNT largely resolved those issues. We're confident in their commitment to quality and look forward to working with Mor and her team on future projects. read more

We purchased a new apartment in our building after falling in love with the view but quickly realized we needed to renovate an older model kitchen which was walled off from our living room, and re-do our master bathroom. We had a general concept of what we wanted so we began speaking to several contractors. Immediately, from our first meeting, we knew TNT was the design and renovation firm for us. When you are doing something as intimate and as important as designing and renovating your home, relationship and communication is of the upmost importance. TNT treats you like family. They completely understood what our vision for our home was and began working on a plan for us. Tamari could not have been more helpful in discussing our vision with us and guiding us through the entire process from our first consultation to the end result. Joe and Mor on their design team were vital to us in helping choose color schemes and materials that perfectly fit into the vision we had for our new home. Tamari took care of ALL of the back-end paperwork, we never had to deal with certifications or building permits. They stayed on track and took care of every single little detail concerning construction. The fact that they have a showroom made the process even easier for us, and was very helpful in influencing some of our design ideas. After discussing plans and choosing materials we were presented with an in-depth walk through of what our future home would look like. We were blown away by the professionalism and detail that went into our presentation. Construction started immediately and was done well within schedule. We could not have been happier with the result. TNT was able to work around structural building infrastructure to give us the open kitchen and living room we always wanted. They designed, created, and installed a custom entertainment system for us based on our needs and wants and integrated fully automated entertainment, lights, and shades into one handy unit for us. We now have a home both perfect for entertaining and socializing. Our master bathroom is truly elegant and modern, it feels spa like. We also had TNT re-do our floors which came out amazing, surpassing even what we could have imagined. Everything from painting, to lighting, tiling, plumbing, cabinetry; was done perfectly. We were so impressed with the work they did, and the relationship we forged with them that we have hired them to do renovations at another home of ours. read more

We had a great experience working with TNT Design & Build on a major remodel of our home in Carlsbad and would highly recommend them. Our project originally started as a much larger plan for an addition to add a new bedroom, master bath, and closet, along with redoing the exterior of the house. As we worked through the costs, we realized the addition was not the right fit for us. Our Project Manager, Greg Milev, was fantastic through that transition, patient, professional, and focused on helping us land on the right plan for our needs rather than pushing us in one direction. That built a lot of trust early on. We ultimately moved forward with a full exterior reskin, window replacement (including adding two brand new windows), new exterior lighting and electrical work, a complete remodel of our second bathroom, and replacement of our original furnace along with adding AC to the home for the first time. Greg was great from start to finish, helping dial in details, coordinating permits, and keeping everything moving. Communication was consistent, and he made sure we were aligned every step of the way. The quality of work was excellent. The bathroom tile work in particular really stood out. We did a full herringbone wall with some tight spacing and a window, and the end result came out incredibly well. Gio, who led the work on-site, was also outstanding. He clearly takes pride in what he does and consistently focuses on doing things the right way, not the easy way. That attention to detail really showed in the final product. Like any project of this size, there were a few bumps along the way, but the TNT team was always responsive and quick to address them. That level of accountability gave us a lot of confidence. They also did a great job minimizing disruption, which was important since we work from home. The project moved efficiently overall, and the final results exceeded our expectations. We wouldn't hesitate to work with TNT again! And just to note, the landscaping and patio pavers were my own DIY project, so any opinions on that part are on me, not them...haha. read more

I came to TNT Design & Build when I found out our master bathroom was leaking water into our walls. TNT Design came in relatively quickly, looked at the space we had to work with, listened to what we wanted and set forth to put together a quote. Their quote came in very reasonable compared to the competitors out there and they were also very flexible on pricing and payment options. Once I have them my greenlight they stayed in constant communication with me and started as soon as they could get into my house. Tamari was my initial point of contact and the owner. Mor was our project manager. Both parties did their best to meet all of our needs and concerns when issues came up. I never came upon any hesitation whatsoever and the transparency was top notch; I never felt like I didn't know what was going on. The overall project took about 1.5 months to complete and there were a few issues they ran into along the way, but as I mentioned, they handled them very promptly and worked with me in every way possible to ensure I was happy. Mor even came in and cleaned the place up one last time before leaving the project site himself. It really speaks volumes when a company is transparent, communicative and highly attentive to their customers. I never felt uneasy about any of the work done and I always felt like I could trust them (not to mention these guys were in my house for the project duration without me there and I never experienced trust issues). I highly recommend this company - not only for the quality of work, but their work ethic and customer service - give them a shout! read more

Choosing TNT Design to handle the completion of our house was definitely a good decision. Mor took over after the 50+ y/o house was brought down to studs. Since we lived 2 1/2 hrs away, she saved us countless trips and $$$ in hotel stays. She handled permit paperwork, filed them at City Hall, met with the inspectors and met them again (and again and again) to make sure we passed inspection. She fought inspection issues for us, obtained drawings needed to satisfy inspection requirements, haggled costs down on other issues, ordered multiple items, arranged for delivery and installation of different house components, sent pics of work in progress or pics we requested for clarification of installation. She shared items available for purchase from their design showroom but also worked with items we wanted to purchase ourselves. She was available in person, by phone, text and email. Sure, our budget grew but we made the decision and she was able to deliver start to finish. Working with her was like the Sweet and Sour patch candies...there were sour moments followed by sweet and back to square one but this was a BIG whole house project, studs to finished product. And there is bound to be give and take to find reasonable and acceptable common ground. Clarifications had to be made but communication was key. Big kudos to her crew for the work they accomplished as they had to wait on questions to be answered and decisions that had to be made. Mor and her crew are a definite asset to the business. read more

Review for TNT: Mor We took a leap of faith by choosing a company we knew nothing about, except it was located near our newly purchased home in Carlsbad. We liked the name of the company "Design & Build." It was just the services we were looking for. After the first interview, we knew this was the right company to work for us! The office was modern & staff was friendly & very professional. After meeting the "primary's" we understood why this clean & efficient environment was the way it was. It all began at the top. The person we dealt with directly was Mor. Mor took care of everything & was excellent at she does. She has knowledge of every aspect of a remodel/build. She knows the construction! She knows the language, the materials, the costs. She was able to advise us on potential problems & what to avoid. She was able to foresee & cut off possible down falls. When it came down to picking out materials ie. quartz for counters, wood for flooring, tile, plumbing for bath & kitchen fixtures etc. She was able to provide us with excellent resources for everything we needed. They even had their own showroom full of samples. Because of the excellent prices, we did some shopping in their office/showroom. All in all the experience was a good one. We will continue to work with them again on our future remodel ideas. We highly recommend TNT for all your remodeling needs! Ask for Mor! read more

Working with Tamari and the crew at TNT Design and build has been a fantastic experience from the very start of our kitchen remodel project. Tamari was very accommodating to our schedule which made the initial project planning much easier as both me and my wife were able to participate in the meetings. Tamari immediately understood what we were trying to achieve during our remodel and not only embraced it but also gave us some very good advice on how to take it to the next level. Once happy with the final design he gave us a very reasonable proposal with a timeline to completion of 5 weeks that he promised to keep and he stick to his promised which made us very happy. The quality of the work was top notch and if any small issue was identified he immediately got it fixed with no delays or extra costs. His crew was also very hard working and were always on schedule and when we had a delay due to an unexpected issue with one of our walls they put some extra hours over the weekend to bring the project back on schedule. During the construction Tamari came around the house multiple times to check on the progress and quality of the work but also to get our initial impression and feedback and he was always very responsive to any suggestion we may have. After the promised 5 weeks we now have a fantastic kitchen that we love and has become the envy of our neighbors :-) read more

We sought to remodel our bathroom that was 25 years old and in bad condition. After meeting and interviewing 4 other contractors we decided to book TNT Design & Build because of Joe's on point consultation. He was clear and straight forward with us and that builds trust. Another plus was the showroom this company has which were not offered by all companies. Everyone from TNT Design & Build was very professional and experienced in their various domains. The demolition took about 3 days; thereafter, the TNT team kept us informed about project schedule, availability of materials, potential delays, items needing additional work, and city inspections. We appreciated the quality of the construction, attention to detail, excellence of the workmanship, and the recommendations we've been given. They brought to our attention the poor condition of the pipes from 1938 that really needed replacement. TNT Design & Build completed this part of the project, as well, providing us with new piping throughout the house. TNT Design has given us a dream bathroom, which undoubtedly has increased our house value. Deserving of special mention are project manager, Joe and the owner Tamari who kept us all informed and coordinated. We would definitely recommend them to anyone with a remodeling project. read more

I cannot tell you how happy and satisfied I am with my new bathroom / shower after the remodeling done by TNT Design . Firstly, the remodeling was done during the Covid-19 time. So, we were all very anxious about how the project will roll. But credit goes to the team of TNT and of course to Tamari the owner. When I first met Tamari, I found him to be a very genuine and practical kind of a person. He had a bag full of ideas for my bathroom. And I must say that all the ideas were brilliant. I knew at once that I wanted to work with him. Tamari presented me a really nice design for the bathroom and after my finalization, the construction work started. We were all very scared but the kind precautions taken at the job were really satisfactory. The workers used to wear masks during the work, distancing was there and all other things were present at the job site. All the guys working at the site were very professional and always on time at work. They were all very friendly too. I think no one can really go wrong working with TNT Design & Build. The bathroom looks fantastic now and feels a lot more spacious. I recommend this company to everyone. You will not regret your decision. read more

Greg recently completed a full-home remodel for me, and the experience was exceptional from both a technical and project management standpoint. The quality of the work is evident in every room -- finishes are precise, materials are thoughtfully integrated, and the overall execution reflects a high level of craftsmanship. Equally impressive was the efficiency of the timeline. Greg coordinated the project in a way that minimized delays without sacrificing quality, a balance that is difficult to achieve in large-scale renovations. His ability to anticipate challenges and keep the work progressing smoothly demonstrated both experience and strong organizational discipline. What truly set Greg apart, however, was his insight and design intuition. He proposed several ideas that improved functionality, flow, and aesthetic cohesion throughout the home -- enhancements I would not have considered on my own but now can't imagine living without. In short, Greg delivers high-quality work, completes projects with notable efficiency, and brings thoughtful, value-adding ideas to the table. I would confidently recommend him for any whole-home renovation. read more

I own a house built in the late 1940s. It had the original bathroom tile which although I was not fond of the look felt some heritage type duty to preserve. I had the bathtub refinished twice the tile did not go to the ceiling in the tub/shower area so the wall was a constant upkeep concern. The tub was chipping again and the paint was flaking so I finally decided it was time. In my search I came across Ethan at TNT Design Build. He had me work with Edden a designer also at TNT. We picked out tile etc. Oh and important issue I only have one and a half baths. So just one shower. Ethan told me he would have his guys rock the work and they did. There were weekend workers and someone there practically everyday getting something accomplished. The only down times were related to City inspections but he managed those as well. Almost everyone I interviewed had said expect to take a month. Although the contract with TNT said the same Ethan promised to get it done in a few weeks. He did and it looks great.

Since moving into our new home in Carlsbad just over a year ago, we have used TNT for two major projects. First they helped us redo our entire downstairs including the kitchen, powder room, laundry room, and flooring. Then, 6 months later, they have helped us transform our backyard and created a beautiful outdoor kitchen, fire pit, new turf, pavers, etc. During the hiring process, they were quick to meet with us and listen to our needs. I felt comfortable with TNT from day 1. Greg and Austin were our project managers and they helped us design a better functioning kitchen as well as our outdoor space. They had great ideas that we would not have been able to visualize without their guidance. They were extremely helpful every step of the way and were incredibly responsive to every question and concern even after the project was finished. Anything we weren't happy with, they were quick to rectify and make sure everything was as we wanted. I would recommend TNT to anyone looking for a timely, reliable remodel! read more

Very happy with the work Tamari and his team completed for us. After receiving multiple quotes for our complete kitchen remodel from various companies we chose TNT Design & Build After meeting with Tamari for the initial quotes we felt he seemed the most honest of all the people that bid the project and reasonably priced. His company also has numerous 5 star reviews and so many positive testimonials that we felt very comfortable with our decision. They completed all demo, flooring, cabinet install, lighting/electrical and drywall work where needed. They were always on time and were very accommodating when we ran into material delays (not their fault, we ordered cabinets separately). We are very particular on how things are done and they definitely met our standards. They also offer a 5 year warranty on labor which is unheard of in this industry (generally most companies offer 1 year). We will definitely be calling them for future projects. We would definitely recommend them. read more

I recently had my bathroom remodeled by Greg and Ivan, and I couldn't be more impressed with the results. From the initial planning stages to the final walkthrough, the experience was seamless. Greg's expertise in tile work is truly what sets this team apart. He has an incredible eye for detail and a deep understanding of different materials and layouts. He guided us through the selection process, ensuring we chose the right tile for the space, and the precision of the installation is flawless. It's clear he understands the technical side of the craft just as well as the aesthetic side. Ivan was equally fantastic, working with efficiency and maintaining a clean job site throughout the project. Together, they are a powerhouse duo--professional, communicative, and clearly dedicated to high-quality craftsmanship. If you are looking for a team that is knowledgeable, reliable, and produces stunning results, I highly recommend Greg and Ivan at TNT. My new bathroom looks incredible! read more

TNT Kitchen Remodeling - Exceptional Experience from Start to Finish We recently had a full kitchen remodel completed by TNT, and we couldn't be more thrilled with the results! The project was finished on time and on budget, which immediately impressed us. However, what truly stood out was the level of communication throughout the process. Our project manager, Ethan, was fantastic. He tailored his communication style to suit both my husband and me, despite the fact that we have very different approaches to things - like yin and yang! This made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. The finished kitchen is beyond what we had envisioned. It's everything we dreamed of and more. We can't wait to host gatherings and show off the stunning new space. We're already looking forward to working with TNT again for our next home improvement project. Highly recommend their services! read more

We had a great experience with TNT from start to finish. They first remodeled our kitchen about 5 years ago and we were so impressed with the quality of work, communication, and attention to detail that we hired them again to remodel both our guest bathroom and master bathroom in our new house. Every project turned out beautifully. The team was professional, reliable, and respectful of our home throughout the entire process. They listened to what we wanted, offered helpful suggestions, and made sure everything was completed to a high standard. The craftsmanship and finishes exceeded our expectations, and the spaces are both functional and gorgeous. It's hard to find a company you can truly trust, and we're so happy we found them. Joe handled all our projects and we would absolutely recommend him and his team to anyone looking for a dependable, talented remodeling team. read more

My husband and I decided to remodel our 1984 townhome kitchen. It needed two walls to come down, all new cabinetry, new appliances, new counter, the works. We had saved up 20 years for our home and wanted the best contractor and after searching and searching we found TNT in Carlsbad... wow, what a find! From the get go Joe Hakman was so organized, knowledgable and helpful with our needs, and very patient with my many OCD questions (I am very picky!). We started the project in Jan 2020 and ended March 26, so timing was excellent as well. Joe was available day and night to help answer questions we had about electrical, timing of install for cabinets, painting, etc, as we had never done this before. In short, we highly recommend TNT and Joe Hakman as a contractor, the company does great work, 5-STAR all the way! Thank you so much for our new kitchen!!!!!!!! read more

What a wonderful experience with these exceptional professionals. For the past year my wife and I have discussed remodeling our kitchen. It was a major project and we interviewed several remodeling firms. When we first spoke to Dan at TNT Design/Build we knew right away that his staff would be the right choice. We were not disappointed. The results were amazing. Beyond the craftsmanship his workers were professional, accommodating, and always finished the day by cleaning up their respective work areas. Greg kept constant contact with us to include several on-site meetings to ensure we were satisfied with every aspect of the project. We are planning another project for next year and I have kept Greg on my speed dial. My wife is very particular and she tells me everyday about how much she loves her kitchen!!!! Thank you. read more

Review Update (2026)…read more I am updating my original 5-star review from a few years ago. At the time, we were very happy with our kitchen remodel and the overall experience working with Creative Design & Build. The project turned out beautifully, which is why I originally left such a positive review. Over the years, however, I noticed that one section of the flooring felt slightly soft when walking on it. At first, it did not seem serious, so we continued to live with it. Recently, the problem became worse and a section of the floor began to noticeably sink when stepped on and eventually a few edges of the flooring broke. At that point, I became concerned that it could become a safety issue. Because we still had plenty of spare flooring boards left over from the project, I attempted to replace the affected board myself. Unfortunately, I was unable to get the new board to fit correctly due to the locking system, and I could not restore the original board either. I then contacted Creative Design & Build for assistance. One reason I reached out was because our original project manager, Oded, had told us that if we ever had any issues, we should contact the company. I left a voicemail and later received a return call from a staff member. After I explained the situation, she said she would check with management and get back to me. A few days later, I received a text message stating that the warranty had expired and that no repairs would be covered. This was disappointing because I had never been informed that there was a four-year warranty period, nor was I able to find any reference to such a limitation in our contract. When I asked for details regarding the warranty and whether they could recommend someone to repair the issue, I did not receive any further response. There were two other issues relating to electrical and plumbing, however we decided to live with that until we had a major problem we needed fixing. I still appreciate the work that was done on our remodel years ago, and our kitchen remains a space we enjoy. However, I have been disappointed by the lack of follow-up and support when a problem arose. My advice to future customers is to make sure all warranty terms, coverage details, and expiration dates are clearly documented and understood before signing a contract.
