"Kelly was instrumental in our successful remodel of our condo in Marina Del Rey, CA. He was a consistent, reliable factor in the process, in particular when problems arose and we needed someone who understood "form follows function" while still providing us the creativity we desired. We've had many come by and compliment the work and we seem to have set a gold standard in the community for condo renovations. Thanks so much, Kelly!"
