IC Home Design

Horia and his crew helped us to remodel the kitchen and two bath rooms for our first home in California. The project finished on time and we are happy about the quality of the work.

My wife and I are first time homebuyers. Having heard more than our share of horror stories about unscrupulous contractors, we did plenty of research before deciding to go with Horia and IC Home Design. We couldn’t be happier with our choice! Horia is the exact opposite of every negative depiction: honest, dependable, professional, and understanding. Amongst other things, Horia remodeled all four bathrooms in our home, installed new flooring and windows in the lower level, painted the entire interior of the house and put in new lighting throughout. And he did this all with great skill, patience, and attention to detail. From the start, we found Horia to be incredibly responsive and easy to work with. He assisted us with the selection of materials and fixtures – even meeting us at Home Depot on a Sunday afternoon. He also provided plenty of helpful (and cost-saving) suggestions and tips that had not occurred to us. Being as we had not yet moved into the house and were living out of state while the work was taking place, we really appreciated how communicative and accessible Horia made himself at all times. We would receive text updates, pictures, and videos almost daily. If ever a problem arose, it was disclosed to us immediately. No surprises or hidden issues. Horia was also very sensitive to our needs and preferences. He complied with our wishes even if it meant added work or posed other challenges. He also worked overtime to ensure the job was complete for our move-in date – staying late on nights and weekends when necessary. Additionally, even after the primary work was completed and we had moved in, Horia remained on call to help us with many smaller items around the house. He made sure every last item was crossed off of our wish list before signing off. While all of the above should justify a premium, Horia’s prices were quite reasonable. His final invoices were always in line with his initial estimates, and they all compared favorably with other quotes we had received. A word about trust: We had agreed to pay for Horia to remove paneling in a large rec area that would be converted to a playroom for our son, and to install sheet rock there instead. Horia removed the paneling and discovered sheet rock underneath, which was still in fine condition. Though he easily could have charged us for the work and we never would have known, he told us what he had uncovered and then removed this significant line item from our bill. We were so impressed with his honesty and integrity! Horia takes great pride in his work and has a genuine passion for home improvement. We highly recommend that you use him for your next home project – you won’t regret it!!
