(a.k.a. what we do)

I found Savvy Interiors by reading an article on Kitchen Trends with one of Savvy's kitchen remodel as the cover picture on Houzz. I loved the unique design and lucky for me, Savvy was located in San Diego. After reading all the great reviews, I thought to myself that this is the type of design build firm that I wanted for my kitchen, family room, staircase, dining room and office remodel. What I appreciate so much about Savvy is the attention to detail from start to finish. From budget determination, design process and then construction, all details are locked in before demo. The team at Savvy excels in communication and customer service. Anytime I had a question or concern, they responded quickly. I really felt that Susan and her team really care about your project and they want you to be happy with the results. I have to give a big kudos to the construction team that worked on my project. A fine group of professionals who are respectful and trust worthy. My neighbors complimented them on how quiet, clean and friendly they were! When you commit to a home remodel process, you are putting your trust into the firm you hire. Savvy Interiors has earned my trust and I will most definitely will work with them and recommend them for future projects. ~Lori Mohr, Client
