Murrieta, California
Kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, paint and the hundred smaller jobs that turn a builder-grade tract home into the house you actually want. One point of contact from the first walkthrough to the final cleanup, across Murrieta and the Temecula Valley.
What we do
Most homes in Murrieta were built between the mid 1990s and the late 2000s, and they share the same finishes. These are the projects that update them.
Cabinets, counters, backsplash, lighting and layout. From a refresh to a full gut, staged so you keep a working kitchen.

Axel Ortiz runs Axel Ortiz Installations from Murrieta. He is the person who answers the phone, walks the house, writes the estimate and does the work. That is the whole business model: one name, one number, and a job that gets finished properly.
Why homeowners call
Walk into a Murrieta tract home from 1998 or 2004 and the list is familiar: honey oak cabinets, white tile counters with dark grout, sculpted carpet, hollow-core doors and a single coat of builder flat on every wall. We have opened up enough of these houses to know where the plumbing runs, how the drywall was hung, and which updates give you the most house for the money.
Before any work starts you get a walkthrough of exactly what will happen, in what order, and what it costs. If we find something unexpected once a wall or floor is open, the work stops and you hear about it before any decision is made. No surprises on the invoice.
You are not routed through a call centre or handed to a different crew every day. Axel quotes the job, does the work, and is the person you call if a question comes up a month later.
The process
A kitchen, one bathroom, new floors through the main level, or a list of small jobs. Send photos if you have them.
We measure, look at what is behind the finishes where we can, and talk through options and materials at your price point.
You get an itemised estimate. Once you approve it, the job goes on the calendar with a realistic start and finish.
Dust control, daily cleanup, and a walk through the finished job with you before the last invoice.

Questions
Kitchen and bathroom remodels, flooring installation, interior and exterior painting, drywall repair and texture matching, tile and backsplashes, baseboards and trim, and the general list of installations and repairs a house collects. If it is inside the walls of a home in the Temecula Valley, ask.
Estimates are free and done in person, because a photo cannot tell us what is under the flooring or behind the tile. You get a written, itemised estimate with materials and labour separated so you can see where the money goes and adjust the scope if you want to.
Either. Many homeowners like choosing their own flooring, tile and fixtures, and we will tell you exactly what to buy and how much. If you would rather we source everything, that is priced into the estimate.
Almost always. Work is staged so a kitchen remodel leaves you a working sink and fridge for as long as possible, and a bathroom remodel is scheduled around the one you still need to use. We seal off the work area and clean up at the end of every day.
