Owner: Nick Oz

What inspired you to go into the business of kitchen and bath remodeling? In the beginning, we had a lot of high-end commercial jobs. We were always told how nice our work was and from there we started projects for the owners and personnel we used to do business for. We found out how much more fun it was to work one-on-one with homeowners. It was more personal than commercial work would allow and we were able to put more creativity into our projects.

What's the coolest aspect of your business? We are a small local company and residents of the Santa Clarita Valley. We are close to home - right in the industrial center. We specialize in modern, contemporary and traditional designs with great flexibility and years of experience.

What is the most amazing service you offer? There is no end to the possibilities when it comes to design. We have so many different ideas (along with the customer's own ideas) that can and will help you get the most out of your budget. You can have your "dream project." All of our work is custom to reflect the original, unique design and to meet our customers' individual needs. As our slogan states: "custom design to meet you lifestyle" - and we mean it. For us, customer service and satisfaction is our number-one priority. As an Air Force ground personnel with experience working on a jet, I know that there's no "second chance" - it has to be right the first time. I have adopted the same idea in my business.

What does the future hold for your company? The future is bright. We see ourselves as the number-one kitchen and bathroom remodeling company in the Santa Clarita Valley. We succeed and take pride in our customer satisfaction, building and design.

What is unique about your business? We design, build and run all of our construction from the ground up with our own team. We don't use subcontractors, and we have 15 years of experience. We are also licensed, bonded and insured, of course. We are part of the Better Business Bureau with an AAA rating.

What's one thing that someone out of the loop would never guess? We work on one project at a time, and only that project is our main focus. That's why we always finish in a prompt, timely manner.
