Ritz Design Build

From the first meeting with Ed and Claudia, my family knew we were in great hands. They listened to our needs and wants and offered advice to help us make the best decisions for our family. During the design process, all the details we reviewed and the team listened. The final design was exactly what I wanted. Once Ritz began the remodel, I was kept in the loop from permits, inspections, timelines, and everything else. I was never guessing. The project manger, Aiden, listened to all my questions and made sure I understood each decision made. When it came to the details, Aiden was always a phone call away. He spent hours working to make sure everything was perfect and that I was happy with the end results. Ritz was professional and timely and even completed the project within in the timeframe (over a month earlier than projected). During demolition, the crew worked to overcome any challenges that came their way. The construction process moved quickly and each team was professional. All subcontractors were part of the team ( plumbing, flooring, painting, etc.) they always were professional and answered any questions I had. Even during a pandemic, Ritz was able to design and build my dream home. I appreciate all their hard work and dedication to the remodel. Aiden is knowledgeable with his skills and handy work and led the team with excellence. Eddie designed a home that met all my family needs. The crews were top notch and the best of the best. And Ed and Claudia always treated us like family when we met. If you need your home remodeled, Ritz is the company for you.

We contacted Ritz Design and Build a little over a year ago about potentially adding on to our home. We had a large backyard, but were limited by both a pool and an existing detatched garage. They worked with us to design and build a 621 square foot addition that added a den and masterbedroom suite off the back of our house. To start, we requested bids from four companies, but Ritz came in with the best price and a flexibility that made our project possible. And wow, we got what we paid for and more! Ritz's team of contractors are excellent. They were generally quick, professional, and showed a pride in craftsmanship that is often not seen today. It mattered to the whole team that the work they did was of excellent quality, not just good enough. And they moved quickly once they were able to break ground. From demo to final inspection we were just under five months. Since we were responsible for providing all fixtures, their success hinged on our ability to have things when they needed them. We held up our end and they held up theirs. We moved in to the new space the week before Christmas though final inspection didn't occur until January. As with any contractor, we had our challenges, but with Ritz we were able to work through them and keep the project moving forward. In the end, it was worth all the stress and angst that comes with a project of this size. If you are looking to add on or remodel your home I would highly reccomend the Ritz team.

Based on their reviews and location (their office was only 5 minutes from our home), we decided to give Ritz Design a call to come out for an estimate on our room addition. Edward came out to our property and was quite arrogant. We wanted to add a bathroom and bedroom into the back of our single story ranch home. Edward informed us that his company usually do second story addition and other :"bigger" projects. I guess our project was too small for their company. He took our design sketch and said someone in his office would follow up with us. Well its been about 3 weeks after his visit and we have not heard anything from either Edward or anyone in his office. Even if our project was NOT what his company typically handles, it would still been nice to get a follow up and not leave us hanging. If you have a "small" project, our addition was probably in the $80k - $100k price, do NOT bother with Ritz Design, you're probably too small for them. Thanks for coming out Edward, but leave your arrogance at the door.

We hired Ritz Design Build to add a dining room to our HOA home in San Diego CA. Our small back yard restricted the size of the room but Ritz designer John K. designed a room that met HOA "matching" requirements, is large enough for a table that seats twelve, is beautiful and has character. Ritz also built cabinets, added two arches, upgraded our flooring and modernized our fireplace mantle. Our project manager, Tom, communicated with us daily so that we knew what to expect and kept the process moving so smoothly that the work was completed earlier than we expected. With Laura's help we made good material selections so that all three adjoining rooms work together. All those involved in our remodel were skillful and professional. We are 100% pleased with the work done by Ritz Design Build. Our family and friends are impressed and we happily recommend Ritz Design Build.

Before evening coming across Ritz Design, my husband and I had interviewed multiple people in interest of building an addition to our house. When we called Ritz Design to set up a consultation we immediately knew right then that they were the team to do it. Ed is an extremely nice gentlemen and listened to everything that we had to say. Ritz Design built our home addition in Clairemont. They designed and built a laundry room, 3 bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms and a jacuzzi area in addition to our existing home. Eddie did a tremendous job in designing the layout and making the plans. The team took care of everything in terms of getting the city permits - which took about 3 months to get. The entire project in itself lasted 5 months. Our friends and family did not think that it was not going to get done within the contracted time - and what do you know, it did! It communication at first was great but then it became misinforming and we did have some misunderstandings. Once the issue was addressed everything ended up amazing! Tom was our project manager at the end and he was a great blessing to the job as we were dealing with not just the chaos of construction but with also a newborn baby. We loved everyone who came on site to work - the plumber (Mike), electrician (Dave), painter (Dale), and the carpenters (Mark and Gavin). Ritz Design is definitely the company you want to go with. They treat their customers houses as if it were their own. We will definitely be using them for any future projects we want to take on in the future. Thank you all for everything that you have done!!!

I did an extensive remodeling job with Ritz Design and was very happy with the completed project. It involved pushing out two walls, an outdoor room, kitchen and bathroom remodel as well as all flooring and a new roof. All was done very professionally and the company stands behind their work which is very hard to find nowadays. I can only recommend Ritz Design and would hire them again.

Ritz Design Build constructed a beautiful bathroom addition to our home in Imperial Beach. Their clever design helped maximize limited space and integrated the new addition to our existing structure. Their workers were skilled and experienced and obviously took pride in the quality of their work. Our interaction with all members of the team was pleasant and helpful. Communication was excellent and we received a quick response to any questions. There was careful scheduling of all the trades and we were always informed if workers would be present on our property. We could not be happier with the result and would recommend Ritz Design Build to anyone interested in a high quality result.
