Cleo DeMarco is a delight to work with! She cares deeply for her clients, listens carefully, and makes dreams come true. Using her background as a general contractor, Cleo creates designs that are both beautiful and functional, and within budget. We remodeled four bathrooms, the master bedroom and two fireplaces.

Cleo is the professional you want on your team for your remodeling project. We hired her for our kitchen reno the main reason being to order the kitchen cabinets through her. The pleasant surprise was all the additional services she was able to provide. She did all the measuring for the cabinets, 3 D design drawings for us to see what our future kitchen would look like and gave us many good pointers for general kitchen reno layout. She was there for us during the reno and for the final check in after all was complete. I don't think my cabinets design and layout would be properly done if I only

It was a joy to work with Cleo DeMarco of SoCal Kitchens on our condo renovation. We remodeled and refreshed our kitchen, master bathroom, our boys’ bathroom, and the downstairs half bathroom. It was a challenge getting materials and labor when we needed them to stay on schedule, but every step of the way, we could rely on Cleo’s organizational skills, and her persistence and determination to get skilled workers over to work our project. We really appreciated how passionate and creative Cleo was to design and create the kitchen and bathrooms of our dreams. She moved the refrigerator from one

We HIGHLY recommend SoCal Kitchens for your next project. Last year when everyone was looking into home projects, we had a string of bad luck with contractors not showing up for scheduled consultation appointments to not even returning our calls. We stumbled up SoCal Kitchens through Yelp and hit the jackpot. Cleo DeMarco returned our call and a few days later we had a Zoom Meeting to discuss our kitchen refresh and immediately felt comfortable with this choice. Cleo was in constant communication through the project and went above and beyond with assistance with design recommendations regarding

Hiring Cleo with SoCal Kitchens was the best decision we made for our home renovation, hands down. We've lived in our home for 8 years now, and much of the house was stuck in the 1960s from the original owner (and the kitchen was falling apart a bit). We knew we wanted a renovation, but really didn't know where to start. We didn't have the time and energy to do all the research, shop around, watch HGTV, and to make all those decisions on our own. We contacted Cleo randomly (among several other designers/contractors), and we could tell after our first meeting that we wanted to

Cleo is a one of a kind contractor. Seriously I don't know anyone as meticulous and talented in construction and design. I personally am an extremely meticulous and detail oriented person so I can't stand working with people who do a mediocre job but Cleo invests 150% into any task. Our home was damaged in the Los Angeles rainstorms and she invested so much time and attention into preparing an estimate. She covered every inch and every code requirement with extraordinary. She is extremely knowledgeable and talented at what she does. I could tell she has a beautiful eye for design. Her

Wow, what can I say, Cleo is amazing! This was our first ever remodel, and we had no idea where to even begin, or what to expect. Cleo designed our kitchen and bathroom remodel, and guided us through the entire process with patience, expertise and professionalism. Cleo was on site to make sure that our job was executed exactly to the approved design. And the couple minor things that did need to be tweaked, she came up with really great alternative options to keep us within our budget. We got exactly what we wanted, and the quality of the materials she used are even better than what we expected

Perfection! that's what you will get with Studio 77. Cleo's amazing design ideas and knowledge of all the materials and finish components really made the difference. She turned our worn out bungalow kitchen into a fresh, bright and fully capable kitchen to last many, many years. Our small bathroom now has beautiful upgrades and seems so much better! Not only is our Kitchen and bath beautiful now, but the quality of everything, from top to bottom... the floor tile, cabinets, counters, fixtures, lighting were all put together so seamlessly. Her attention to detail in the construction

Cleo is extremely responsive, detail-oriented, and organized. She is also really pleasant to work with. When I couldn't figure out a tile choice, she stepped in with the perfect solution. I changed my mind on things a couple of times and she didn't split a hair. She hired responsible experts to handle different aspects of the job and coordinated them very well. The whole job (countertops and tile) was done in about one week. Everything looks great!

We could not have been happier with SoCal Kitchens and Cleo DeMarco. Cleo was fantastic with managing our bathroom remodel. We have never been so satisfied with the customer service. All crews were professional, on time, knowledgeable, and the prep and clean-up were amazing. Cleo's design ideas and sense of style helped us make some beautiful choices. And, her pricing was very competitive. We highly recommend SoCal Kitchens.

Working with Cleo DeMarco has been an amazing experience. Cleo designed and managed the remodel of my shabby and out-of-date house. She was always mindful of my budget and worked on keeping costs manageable. She oversaw every detail and made what could have been a real nightmare relatively stress-free. I couldn't be happier with the final result.
Thank you so very much, Cleo, for making this rundown house into a true home.

Cleo designed and managed a kitchen remodel for us that exceeded all our expectations. She has excellent skills as a designer, engineer, and construction manager. She is extremely knowledgeable about every trade--from plumbing to tile to electrical to cabinet design--and made the best possible use of our space within the limits of our budget and timing constraints. She has an amazing work ethic--very responsive and dedicated, totally honest and trustworthy, always on time, and a joy to work with. I couldn't give her a higher recommendation! She is an absolute professional and I would never

Cleo increased the storage of my small kitchen by approximately 50% with her clever design and frameless cabinets. Her design, construction knowledge, eye for detail and professionalism were remarkable. Cleo knows how to "speak contractor" and kept the project moving. Our home has many quirks (uneven ceiling, uneven walls, uneven floor, large beams in odd places, etc.) and Cleo worked with our exceptional contractor to create a beautiful functional kitchen. SoCal Kitchens listened to my storage, function, and flow problems with old kitchen and designed a kitchen that works for my family

My experience with Cleo was top notch to say the least. It resulted in me getting the kitchen of my dreams. It started with a planning process that was pain free and very flexible. I described what I wanted and Cleo custom designed several ways of obtaining it. She made sure that the construction started on time and stayed on schedule. As the project progressed, Cleo was very attentive to every detail from start to finish making sure that the tile , cabinets and counter top were installed correctly. She was meticulous about all aspects of the project and kept an open line of communication which

Amazing work! Quick to respond and received a quote right away! I wasn't sure what style I wanted and Cleo helped me out through the entire process. Other companies I called seemed like they just wanted to work on the project and not assist in the design. They really are perfectionists! Not one single thing wrong and they even fixed a doorstopper on their way out. (Haha)
