PROJECTS

Before and after, from North County homes

Before & After Home Remodeling Projects in Carlsbad & North County

Every project here was planned and built by Model Home, Inc., a licensed general contractor since 2009 (CSLB #927826) based in San Marcos. Each page shows the home before and after, what we did, and where the work was done. Apart from the flooring brands, the cabinets, countertops, tile, hardware, doors and fixtures you see were curated and sourced by Model Home, in-house and through our San Marcos showroom.

We add projects as homeowners approve them. If you are planning a remodel, addition, staircase, flooring or cabinet project in Carlsbad, San Marcos or elsewhere in North County San Diego, tell us about it.

After: living room under the new loft with wood ceiling beams, recessed lighting, stone fireplace wall and leather sectional
