We had originally planned to remodel our kitchen and laundry room with another contractor, but after many delays and unanswered calls, we decided to look elsewhere. Our project had grown to a complete kitchen and laundry room renovation, so we searched for a company that was both eco-friendly and truly listened to our ideas. That’s when we found FreshStart Kitchen & Bath, and it felt like connecting with talented friends. Gabriel, our designer, came up with a kitchen layout that was remarkably close to one we had envisioned ourselves, but even better, making the most of our space. Gabriel guided us through choosing cabinet styles, countertops, hardware, flooring, and paint. He was always patient and helpful, answering all our questions along the way. The remodel began right on schedule, and Willie was on site every week, handling nearly everything except some of the plumbing, electrical, and countertop installation. He even set up a temporary barrier to keep dust and mess contained, so we hardly felt disrupted. We decided to include some custom tile work and extra features in both the kitchen and laundry room, and Willie was happy to help with those. He skillfully reused much of our old kitchen cabinetry to create roomy storage in the laundry area, which helped us save money. Throughout the project, we especially appreciated the careful attention to detail—Gabriel’s design and organization made everything run smoothly, and Willie’s wide range of remodeling and carpentry skills brought it all together beautifully. From start to finish, the process was seamless and the results are stunning. We absolutely love our new kitchen and laundry space and would highly recommend FreshStart Kitchen & Bath to anyone in Santa Monica looking for a thoughtful and professional kitchen remodel.
We recently had our kitchen remodeled and are absolutely thrilled with how everything turned out! From the very first meeting all the way through to the final installation, the team was professional, knowledgeable, and really listened to what we wanted for our new kitchen. The designer, Sean, made the planning process easy by taking the time to get to know our style and suggesting creative ideas to maximize our space. When it came time for installation, the crew was punctual, worked efficiently, and treated our home with respect. The finished kitchen is both beautiful and highly functional—better than we imagined! Throughout the remodel, the customer service was outstanding. The team was always available to answer questions and address any concerns, and their attention to detail showed in every part of the project. I highly recommend this company to anyone thinking about a kitchen remodel. They deliver top-notch workmanship, excellent service, and are dedicated to making your kitchen dreams come true!
After considering different ways to remodel my kitchen at home in Santa Monica, I reached out to FreshStart Kitchen & Bath to get started on the project. Sean was the designer who helped me through every step. He took the time to really listen to my ideas and talk through my budget, then set up a visit to see the kitchen space in person. Soon after, Sean came back with several design options for my new kitchen. One of his ideas matched my original vision, but the other was even better and would save me money. I went with the design that looked best and fit my budget. As the remodel moved forward, I changed my mind a few times about the details. Sean stayed patient and flexible, always explaining what was possible with the materials and choices available. It was clear he knew his stuff and wanted me to love the final result. I was a little worried at first about how the actual construction would go, but every contractor and worker involved was professional, friendly, and skilled. Lawrence, who supervised the construction, kept everything on track and answered all my questions about different building options. He made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Now my kitchen looks fantastic and has quickly become the highlight of my home. Friends and neighbors are always complimenting the remodel. The experience with FreshStart Kitchen & Bath was excellent from start to finish, and I highly recommend working with them if you’re looking to upgrade your kitchen.
