Savvy Interiors - Solana Beach, California

Savvy Interiors exceeded our expectations! My wife and I hired Susan Wintersteen and her Savvy Interior team to hep us remodel a 1970 built Carlsbad home. Savvy was there for us from day 1 through the finish line. Even though my wife and I were living in Minnesota during the entire remodel Susan and her amazing subs kept us in the loop at every turn. We really appreciated the excellent communication, whether it was a phone call, a zoom meeting, email, text, or when we were in town, an in person on site meeting. Thanks to Susan's incredible vision, dedication, and talent our home remodel brought our home up to modern times while still honoring the early 1970's period when it was originally built.
If we ever remodel another property in San Diego we most certainly will call on Savvy Interiors again! We highly recommend Savvy to anyone who is looking for a top Design/Build team.

When someone came to my house recently and asked, "Now that the kitchen is done, is there anything you would have changed?" I could honestly say no. Why? Because Susan thought of everything ahead of time. She took our multi-page wish list, distilled it to its essence, asked the right questions, and created something that is at once beautiful AND functional and unique to us. Our young adult children returned home to the renovated kitchen, took one look and said, "This couldn't be anyone else's kitchen but yours Mom." Susan understands what it means to LIVE in a house, to use it - not just look at it or hand it off to someone to function within it. No, she gets it. "A place for everything, everything in its place."

Was it more than we thought we would spend before we started? No question. (But it's inevitable to have a little sticker shock when faced with real life labor and material costs after creating a price in our own minds based on nothing but fantasy.) But Susan and her team were organized, upfront and very clear with communication, sign-offs and schedules. And so while it was expensive, it was also not a surprise. There were NO surprises on this job. AND, it is true - you get what you pay for. So - while maybe I could have gotten it done cheaper, they more than earned their fees by being reliable, professional, on-time, clean, safe, and easy to work with. Peace of mind is truly priceless.

I highly recommend Savvy and all of their subs who were wonderful to work with and absolutely masterclass in their own right.

I cannot recommend Savvy Interiors enough. Susan and her team listened to what we wanted and needed and was able to distill it in a fantastic finished space. It was really a dramatic transformation and exactly what we needed. We have worked with other designers but none that went as smoothly. Not only does Savvy excel in design but also detail, communication and making sure everything goes smoothly. Our new construction house initially felt like a white box and now it feels like a home.

Savvy Interiors was wonderful to work with from beginning of project until every last detail was perfect. Susan and team's design for our kitchen and staircase was innovative, cost effective and results are absolutely stunning. Everyone from Savvy was professional, courteous and so good at whatever they were doing. We had no worries leaving our home in their capable hands. This project was an extremely positive experience in every aspect and feel that our choice of Savvy Interiors was our best inspiration.

Words can’t even describe how grateful and pleased I am that Susan and her team at Savvy took me on in the final stages of my home remodel to bring it to the finish line.
The company name is beyond fitting- Susan’s ability to understand me and my needs in just a 20min consult, then turn & translate that to her team is truly a GIFT is what makes them just “Savvy”.
They were able to dive into a project, from which they did not start with at the beginning and easily to jump in to learn what I was after & most importantly what I was missing. With expert knowledge and their ability for client-focused insight, they worked fast with a detailed and logical approach.
Nothing wasn’t addressed. Communication incredible. Actions from words spoken executed successfully. Renderings that just spoke directly to me.
Susan and her team, with Romy at the helm, guided me through some key final decisions to end my project on a positive & exciting note. It’s like they knew what I needed more than I even did. I could recommend them over and over.

We were very happy with all the results of our project! Our designer, Haley worked with our budget, our style & made the transformation of our awesome easy! All the contractors Savvy worked with were great! I highly recommend them and can’t wait to use them on our new house.

I have followed Savvy Interiors for years and have learned so much from Susan’s informative posts. We were thrilled with their professionalism, quality of work, and willingness to help us with a small design project. We plan to use them for several future projects.
