Starting a major remodel project (guest bathroom, new master bath addition, walk in closet, exterior work) during a pandemic comes with its own set of new challenges. We knew it's going to be tough - given all of the supply chain issues, construction boom, shortage of laborers, you name it. However, we were ready to do the project and did not want to delay it longer. We are glad that we chose CairnsCraft to help bring our project to life.
From the initial design process, to submitting permits, to the final stages of construction - Charles, Marie, and team has been wonderful to work with. Charles

We chose CairnsCraft Design & Remodel to do a substantial remodel for us that included completely gutting and updating our kitchen, removing a wall to give our home the open concept feel, refacing our fireplace and installing new LVP flooring throughout. The planning, design, and construction were handled very well. We had a few years to think about what we wanted in our kitchen. One of those things was a cantilevered granite counter at one end of our island. My husband came up with the idea of fashioning some sort of metal base that the countertop could sit on without legs or a center leg

Cairnscraft did an unbelievable job with our project. From the design to finishing touches, Marie and Charles made us feel safe and secure even during the most stressful moments. Marie's constant communication is unique in this business and was much appreciated by first time remodelers. I would choose them again for any future project!

On time...on budget...work is SPECTACULAR!!!
We remodeled master bath, powder room and 2 fireplaces. Luz, a designer who works with Cairnscraft, and Marie worked seamlessly to address each of our needs (e.g., more linen closet space, transitional/modern bath, etc.) and to design stunning spaces. Then, Marie (who herself is a perfectionist) brought in great subcontractors who carefully built out the spaces and thoughtfully addressed the few unexpected twists without any loss of time or any notable cost difference. We know lots of people who have had bad experiences with other contractors; such a

We bought a post modern condo that needed extensive updating. CairnsCraft was recommended by two other unit owners in the building. Based on their glowing praise, we decided to use CairnsCraft for our place. We are extremely happy in our experience working with Marie Cairns and her team. The job was on schedule and within budget, as revised and tracked online by us. The contract quote was detailed and well explained, with all costs enumerated. The results are beautiful; everyone comments on the quality of materials used and the design aesthetics. Marie is an efficient collaborator and excellent

Update: After weeks of installation, cabinets and drawers did not work. Poor quality of materials and labor. Unfinished work underneath counter, cabinets. Used cheap materials. Very disappointed for the amount of money that was spent.

I am beyond grateful that I hired CairnsCraft for this project and highly recommend them. The work was started in March just before the impact of COVID 19 was realized. I was out of town the first week and Marie provided me with daily progress updates. By the time I was back in San Diego, my kitchen had been demo'd and I had no plumbing or electric so the work that had to be done was essential. Despite this scary and stressful time, Marie remained calm, organized and got the job done without sacrificing safety. She and her team came with gloves and masks on and were on time every single day without

It is with much pleasure that I write this review for the owners and associates of Cairns Craft Design and Remodel as I have only praise for them and their work! During the remodel of my flooded kitchen Marie, Charles, Luz, and all subcontractors proved that they were experts in their fields and worked with constant attention to detail and uncompromising commitment to high quality. During the design phase of the project Charles brought a mobile showroom to my home that made the cabinet selection process very convenient. Luz spent much time to come up with a functional design for a tight space,

I CHOSE CAIRNS CRAFT TO REMODEL MY BATHROOM BECAUSE I WANTED TO BE ABLE TO AGE AT HOME AND I DISCOVERED THAT CHARLES AND MARIE WERE CERTIFIED IN AGING IN PLACE. THEY HAD INNOVATIVE IDEAS AND SUGGESTIONS. MY BATHROOM IS NOW BEAUTIFUL AND A JOY TO USE. MARIE LOVES HER WORK AND SHE WORKS LONG HOURS SUPERVISING THE SUBCONTRACTORS TO ENSURE WORK IS DONE PROPERLY AND CORRECTIONS ARE MADE WHEN NECESSARY. MARIE AND CHARLES WERE MOST SOLICITOUS AND MADE EVERY EFFORT TO PLEASE. THEY WERE BOTH A PLEASURE TO WORK WITH AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEIR FIRM

Look no further: Cairnscraft Design and Remodel is who you need. Marie is like the patron saint of general contractors. I seriously don't know when or if she ever sleeps. She and charles are the best team. We are first-time home
owners and this is our first remodel. Marie handled EVERYTHING! She was always available to us and kept us updated to the second on everything. She got us really fair prices for top quality work. When the movers scratched our new floors, she immediately pulled people to fix them and put us at ease. Everything she does is above and beyond. She did not pressure us to

I thoroughly enjoyed working with Marie and Charles Cairns and their staff. What made it somewhat unique is that this is a second home for me and I was not there during the majority of the construction. I only visited twice. Marie was really terrific in keeping me informed of the progress at all times through texting, phone calls and emails and particularly in sharing pictures. Marie was very responsive to my calls and emails. This really worked for me and saved me the headache of having to live "kitchen-less" for months. While I didn't have a lot of contact with the sub-contractors, Derek and

CairnsCraft Design & Remodel guided us to tear down our home to the studs, then rebuild it to bring our dreams to life. They have absolutely amazing vision; we truly felt like we were part of the team as we worked closely together to make every detail perfect. Thank you very much for making this process much easier.
