“Working with Urbanism Designs was one of the best decisions we made for our home remodel.
The quality of work, the creative ideas, the experience, and the effort to achieve perfection was witnessed throughout the project.
Every day, we are in awe of how our home has been transformed. There’s not a single room or space that we don’t cherish and admire.
And in each of these spaces are memories of our design discussions and of the people working/touching/transforming the dream to reality.
Thank you, Pam and Erwin!“
“I worked with Kevin on buying a home and here are some qualities that describe his real estate work acumen: professional, kind, knowledgeable, respectful, and someone who holds your best interest. Thanks, Kevin! I recommend anyone looking to buy a home to go to Kevin if they are looking for a professional who understands the ins and outs of real estate.“
“Our tv cabinet remodel project by Woods Wizards was beyond our expectation. Azim truly listened to our ideas and worked with us to create the design of our dreams. The team kept us informed daily throughout each step of the process. We were impressed with the professionalism of the team and everyone’s attention to detail. We are looking forward to working with them again in the future for all our remodeling work"“

They take the time to understand the unique vision and preferences of each project, ensuring that every piece they create is tailored perfectly to the space.

“Kevin and his company-KDS- recently did a floor to ceiling remodel design for our 1937 kitchen. We worked closely with Kevin, who had innovative design ideas, both to improve the use of space in the kitchen and to make it modern, functional, and attractive. He ”held our hands”, and was very helpful throughout the process. He also worked closely with our contractor. We’re very pleased with the process and the kitchen results and would not hesitate to recommend Kevin and KDS to anyone embarking on a remodel in their home.“
“When I found myself looking into ADUs I was quite frankly overwhelmed. A small contingent of friends who had built one shared very different experiences including one where the contractors took a substantial down payment and actually disappeared. In addition, I knew my property had rigid setbacks (power lines) as well as questionable prior contract work in the back yard decades ago, all of which made me extremely cautious and unconfident in how I was going to pull this project off.
I interviewed close to ten different contractors with a variety of experience levels, scope coverage and specialties and eventually chose Acton not only for their track record but also for their ability to provide full scope coverage from start to finish. Especially important to me was they also had success working in difficult cities like Cupertino, Los Altos, and Saratoga.
Now that the project is complete, reflecting on how things went I couldn’t be more glad I went with Acton. While the work was indeed high quality with no corners cut it was not without its hiccups. Parts arrived incorrect, print details were overlooked, and even some incidental damage, but this is just reality with any large project. It’s not the problems themselves, which are inevitable, but how they are handled and the ability to contain them such that they don’t mess up the rest of the schedule and overall build. For that, Acton earned every bit of the 5 stars I’m giving them. My project was a very tight 364 sqft unit, included almost every upgrade available, a power drop relocation, excavation for the sewer line, plus half a dozen of my own ideas through change orders, and from start of demolition to move-in took less than 6 months (95% of it was done within 5 months). This could only have been achieved by an experienced company with all the necessary sub-contractors under their purview. In particular the on-site supervisor was key and Sandro Culic, my main site contact, was the conductor who pulled this amazing feat all together. I can think of no other person I have ever worked with in my life who responded to all my texts (and I had a lot of them) and responded right away without fail even after hours and weekends. Really above and beyond. Other Acton team members I worked with who also deserve extra credit were Jenn Miller, Aws Jabir, Conner Rainey, and Zach Yeager -truly an amazing team and deserving of their success.“

“We had a great experience working with Amir Levy and his team at HQR. We went into our remodel unsure of how big of a project we wanted to take on, and Amir helped us navigate the big decisions by providing us with a step-wise plan to help us decide what we wanted to accomplish first instead of selling us a project we weren't sure we were going to like. We knew we were going to have to upgrade/redo almost every aspect of the house, including electrical, plumbing, HVAC, roof, foundation, but working with Amir and his team allowed us to feel very confident in making a rather large interior layout change in our house as well. Going through this process to figure out exactly what we wanted allowed Amir to give us an incredibly detailed scope of work (instead of a handwavy quote) to make sure even the smallest of items was covered in our agreement, which gave us tremendous peace of mind.
Working with Amir was smooth as the team handled everything. We chose to work with several of the finishes vendors and coordinators that Amir recommended, which also took a lot of hassle off our plate. Before, during, and now even after the project, we always felt that Amir had our best interests in mind, which is the best thing one could ask for in a contractor. We highly recommend working with Amir Levy on your project.“
“We had the pleasure of partnering with Sandra for a recent bathroom renovation. With little renovation experience-we didn't even know where to start. She was able to create drawings to help us really visualize our new space and give us clear direction forward, next steps, time lines and aligning to get an accurate estimate from our contractor. Sandra has incredible industry connections and introduced us to vendors who were generous with their time, helpful and informative. Sandra is kind, patient and knowledgeable. She allowed us to flex our design inspiration and was a supportive resource throughout!“
“My husband and I worked with Timeline to provide some initial insights for the potential remodel of our house in Los Altos. They provided useful design guidance for what a minimal, moderate, and full-scale renovation would look like, in addition to approximate costs for each. Their guidance was practical and well-informed from years of experience in the industry. They were professional, flexible and always listened to our input. Although we weren't able to take the process any further due to our family situation, we gained a lot from our conversations and had fun dreaming about what our little house could be. We highly recommend Timeline Design!“

“Experienced design professionals that managed to find a way to take the fuzzy imagery in our heads and deliver a breathtakingly beautiful remodeled home in Fremont CA that exceeded our wildest expectations.

“I am enjoying working with Mamuka - his design skills are on point with current trends, his product lineup is beautiful, and his work ethic to get your design precise is exactly what you want when working in this space that is sometimes filled with less ethical folks.Be sure to visit his design gallery to learn more about his services working with designers and architects to provide you with a perfect finish on your home. Luxury products for the selective client - if this is you, his gallery is a must-see.“
“We worked with Ayesha Sikandar on a remodel in San Mateo to update kitchen and baths, creating an open floor plan between dining room and kitchen, reconfiguring the existing baths for better space and function, and electrical upgrade. Ayesha has good communication skills, is very responsive to questions or changes along the way. She works well with our GC, structural engineer and helped us with the permit process. Her guidance really made a difference in getting the project done. Highly recommended.“
