You Don't Have to Do This Alone. Dawn's Here to Deliver.
Let's Get Your Renovation Done...Together
MeetDawn.
Investors who want to take charge of their property renovations hire me to guide them. When you do your own remodel, you’re project manager, team coach, and quality control…all in one. Unless you do this for a living, it can seem overwhelming. That’s where I come in. I help you discover that yes you can.
My passion is to bring nurturing and energizing spaces to life, so everyone who lives there is refreshed and inspired every day.
- I’ve been trusted over my 30+ years as a general contractor with over $90 million dollars of real estate projects. I’ve built and remodeled mansions, investment bungalows, bath and kitchen overhauls, custom designs…you name it. My clients are happy. I’d love for you to be happy with your result too.
Having a masters degree in Counseling from UCLA has allowed me to manage and problem solve teams of construction crews, architects, lawyers and inspectors with great success.
- Building and renovating is full of noise and chaos – you must juggle many balls at one time. Keeping it simple and understandable is what I do for you, enabling you to be confident, clear and in control as you remodel.
We start by finding out what YOU really want, what your budget is, and what’s possible….then the fun begins!
Inspire Your Life with Fresh Surroundings.
As we work together, you’ll feel more relaxed about how things are going, and more in control.
You’ll see your vision unfold and you’ll be excited to brag to your friends.
Everyone Has a Budget - No Matter How Big Or Small
What will you bring to life with yours?

No one builds like a Woman Builder!
As a little girl: I played with matchbox bulldozers in the dirt and built with Lincoln logs.
Decades later: I constructed huge mansions for the affluent. I couldn’t shake my love for home building and renovations.
Dirt andDiamonds
My Dad was 100% Italian, one of 6 boys; my Mom 100% English, one of 13 kids. They were married 58 years! Together they built the house we lived in, as well as many others.
I was expected to help out, even as a young child; I started learning to build when I started to walk. Building is in my DNA.
I’ve won awards and tackled some truly challenging building situations. Shit happens!
My crew of rough-and-tumble men need my leadership. Sometimes I’m the Boss Lady, direct and black-and-white with a firm plan of attack. I blend this with nurturing, expressing appreciation and building relationships.
'Demolition Dawn' May Surprise You:
Give me a shovel or a sledgehammer and I’m happy- but I must have my manicure – no exceptions!
I thrive on the push of competitive tennis, then I relax by playing with my grandkids.
I’m a green drinks fanatic! They get my engine going. I have yet to persuade my husband to give them a try.
I meditate daily – something I came to love once I learned to sit still long enough to reap the benefits.
