NJ Design & Build - Najmna 34 Google reviewsPosted on Google Christina Johnson I am writing to highly recommend Moe of NJ Design and Build for his exceptional work as a contractor. Moe and his team recently completed the construction of an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) in my backyard for my father, and the entire experience was nothing short of excellent. From the outset, Moe impressed us with his professionalism, transparency, and deep knowledge of the construction process. He took the time to thoroughly understand our needs and offered valuable design insights, and helped us navigate every step of construction with patience and care. The quality of workmanship delivered by NJ Design and Build was outstanding. The ADU was built with great attention to detail, on time, and within the agreed budget. Moe maintained consistent communication throughout the project and was always accessible when needed, ensuring we were informed and comfortable with all decisions being made. His crew was respectful and skilled, a true reflection of his leadership and standards. What stood out most was Moe’s genuine care for our family's needs. He understood that this ADU was not just another project, but a home for my father, and he treated it with the same consideration and integrity he would for his own family. I would not hesitate to work with Moe again and wholeheartedly recommend NJ Design and Build to anyone in need of a reliable, skilled, and trustworthy contractor. They truly deliver on their promise of quality and client satisfaction. Thank you Moe and team for a job well done. Sincerely, Christina Johnson Poway, CAPosted on Google Nicole Abeid We hired Najmna to build an ADU in our backyard and the experience exceeded expectations.

They helped me build 2 ADUs and I appreciate their persistence in finishing the job as fast as possible.Posted on Google WTD MIC Engineering and permitting process was good and fairly seemless. Price was competitive and initial demolition was good as expected. Tile layer is skilled and professional. Some of finish carpenters, etc. we’re lacking experience and quality control as appeared to be a shortage ok skilled labor. Moe the GM was very responsive, flexible, and pleasant to work with.Posted on Google Sean Canto It was nice to be able to have everything done by one company, from architect to construction.Posted on Google Alan Reitman Did a great job fixing what another contractor really messed up. They are very professional and experts in what they do.
From a single upgrade to a full redesign, we deliver kitchens that work harder, look sharper, and add real value to your San Diego home.
San Diego homeowners choose NJ Design & Build because we own every step — design, permitting, and construction — so quality and accountability never get lost between contractors.
Our designers, project managers, and tradespeople work together every day. That coordination shows up in tighter schedules, cleaner finishes, and fewer change orders during your build.
You get one contract, one fixed-price quote, and one point of contact — no juggling subs, no chasing invoices, and no markups stacked on top of markups.
Every kitchen starts with how you cook, host, and live. We translate that into a layout, materials palette, and storage plan made specifically for your home.
We blend smart engineering with showroom-level finish work, so your kitchen looks designed, not assembled
Smarter layouts that improve workflow, open sightlines, and recover storage from corners and dead zones most contractors leave alone
Hand-picked stone, hardwood, and hardware from trusted suppliers, chosen for how they age — not just how they photograph on day one.
Trim, flooring, and ceiling lines align with the rest of your home so the new kitchen feels original, not bolted on.
Statement islands, paneled fridges, hidden pantries, and built-in coffee bars tailored to the way your family actually uses the room.
Solid construction, proper substrates, and finish work backed by our workmanship warranty — built to perform for the next decade, not just the next listing photo.
Tell us a little about your kitchen and your goals — we’ll respond within one business day with next steps and a free, no-pressure estimate.
Here are answers to some of the most common questions about our kitchen remodel services. If you have any other inquiries, feel free to contact us!
Most San Diego kitchen remodels take four to eight weeks of active construction once permits are approved. Larger gut renovations or projects involving structural changes can extend that to ten or twelve weeks. We give you a realistic schedule before work starts.
We combine custom cabinetry, full-height pantries, deep drawer stacks, corner-cabinet pull-outs, and toe-kick storage. The biggest gains usually come from rethinking the layout — not just adding more boxes — so we start there.
Yes. We can prioritize cabinets, counters, or appliances now and phase in flooring, lighting, or a layout change later. We’ll map out a sequence that protects your budget and avoids redoing work down the line.
Absolutely. We install ENERGY STAR appliances, LED lighting, low-VOC finishes, FSC-certified woods, and recycled-content surfaces whenever they fit your design — making the kitchen healthier to live in and cheaper to run.
Costs vary with size, materials, and scope, but most full kitchen remodels in our market fall between $45,000 and $120,000+. After a quick consultation, we provide a detailed, line-itemed estimate so you know exactly where your money goes.
If you’re moving plumbing, gas, or electrical, or changing structure, San Diego requires permits. We handle drawings, submissions, inspections, and city follow-up for you — so the project stays compliant without eating up your weekends.
