Keystone Design-Build

I meet Sam, owner of Keystone Design-​Build, in February 2015 when I was looking for a contractor to remodel my bathroom and kitchen in my new condo. Sam was recommended to me by my long time natural stone polisher/​cleaner. I was told that Sam did excellent work as he had witnessed many of Keystone’s projects after completion. I had an idea on the stained glass tile I wanted for my backsplash and tub surround. Sam told me he knew the exact tile and we setup an appointment to review all the work to be done. Sam was on time and we discussed the various projects. Sam is an excellent designer and not just a contractor. Sam located a tile store that had a display of my specific tile, previewed it himself first, and then met me there to help me make decisions on my tile and quartz choices. He helped me make the appropriate choices and I was very appreciative for the extra time he spent with me. He also met me at Pacific Sales and assisted me to make kitchen and bath fixture choices, as well as select appliances and other various items needed for the project. It was very overwhelming to have to make so many choices at once, but he made suggestions that made it easy for me to choose. I was able to get an extra discount over the public by ordering through Sam. After getting Sam’s very fair estimate, I signed the contract and Sam started the work. His subs were very good and always left my home clean, even if they had to make the same mess the next day. The tile I choose was not the easiest to install and I doubt many tile installers would have done a good job. But my tub surround and kitchen backsplash are simply beautiful. I am thrilled with how everything came out and believe I could not have found a better contractor. Subsequently, I have hired Sam to do several other projects (wrought iron stair rails, carpet, and cabinetry) and am so happy with everything Sam has completed for me. If you are interested in hiring a contractor, I highly recommend Sam and Keystone.
One of my neighbors recently told me that he had recently hired a contractor to do some similar work in his new condo. He choose the contractor that had the lowest price. He told me that the work was being done very shoddy and that when he started complaining to his contractor, the contractor simply disappeared, never returned any calls, left the job half done and he was out all of the his money. So I guess what I’m saying is you get what you pay for. Sam is the real deal; professional, knowledgeable and 100% stands behind his work. If you ask Sam to show you pictures of my completed projects, you can see for yourself, perfection! And I’m a very picky person!

Sam did remodeled my moms condo a couple years back. His work is amazing. He pays so much attention to detail. We still get asked if we recently remodeled as the work is still so relevant! Thank you Sam and Keystone for your attention to detail and providing quality work that I am sure will last us a lifetime:)

ZERO RATING! Met with owner SAM. Initial meeting was positive. However, this guy never followed up on this big project we were going to do. I had to contact him a couple of times to follow up and then he never returned my calls. He knew the project was large scale. Instead of providing estimates, photos and initial suggestions, Sam said to check HOUZZ and «tell me what you like». Aren’t you supposed to be selling me your services and providing insights? You just lost out on a $ 250K project (indoor/​outdoor). POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE, NO FOLLOW UP! YOU MEASURED THE WRONG CLIENT. This job may be too big for you! LOOK ELSEWHERE PEOPLE. Sam will tell you want you want to hear but watch out for the rest…

Had Sam do a shower remodel, and was very pleased with his work. He provided us with great ideas, a fair price and saw the project though to the finish. I have recommended Sam to three other people and will continue to do so. He will get the job done right and follow up after completion to make sure you are happy.

One word, awesome!
I had a leak in one of the bathroom and needed to redo the floor and paint. Sam showed up, gave a reasonable estimate. More important, he had great design ideas, all were very elegant and relevant to my needs and budget.
His crew showed up on time, clean and well groomed and did an amazing job. Tiles are precisely laid with no gaps. The bathroom looks great. Work was done on time, no hassle, no fuss, no interruption.
Final price was the price we agreed on, no surprises.
I strongly recommend Keystone and very likely to use them again when I start remodeling the house.

We hired them to paint… Painters did a wonderful job. Had a lot of pride in their work… Were very nice neat and fast! Already have a few other items around the house that Sam is going to help with… strongly recommend and will use again.

Just so you know; their license is active.

We just bought our second home in Ladera Ranch & after looking around we found Keystone Design. Our new home needed some remodeling work (outdated bathrooms, kitchen…) we received 3 estimates for the work & we decided to go with Sam. The moment we met I had a good feeling that he knows exactly what we are looking for. We had a budget & lots of ideas what we want to be changed.
Sam was very patient, explained everything, had great ideas & the final price was in our budget. He is a true artist. Our bathrooms and the gourmet kitchen are so progressive & nice, and my walk-​in closet is just amazing.
The whole work was done in time & Sam supervised the whole work. He was always there when we needed him & always nice & patient.
I highly recommend him if you plan to remodel your home & he will be defiantly our first choice for our next home.
Thanks for hassle free remodeling of our contemporary designed home.

Fantastic Sam!!! We used Sam because he was recommended to us and he did a great job. Sam remodeled four bathrooms and did an outstanding job. He personally supervised the jobs, completed them on time and did a quality job at a reasonable price. It’s the best of all worlds. What we also liked was that Sam suggested ideas that made the bathrooms look better AND saved money. We thought that was great as we were on a budget. The bathrooms look great. I would not hesitate to use Sam and Keystone Design Build again in the future. I wouldn’t even waste my time bidding the job out. I would trust Sam to do a great job at a reasonable price again.

Sam is truly an artist. He is the best contracter I’ve dealt with. He did an amazing job with the kitchen and bathroom. He did a beautiful distressed hardwood floor for a great price. He put granite tops that look absolutely gorgeous.

We started with just doing our floor but he did such a goodjob that we ended up redoing the whole house! Not only we did the flooring we ended up refinishing all the cabinets, changing all the bathrooms, staircase and repainting all the walls also the fireplace. Not only Sam is very knowledgeable about the materials he uses he is very on time and on schedule. All that work took only 6 weeks and his price is great. I highly recommend him
