A note from Kimberly
Kimberly VillaOperations Manager
Hey San Diego Homeowners, This September marks 10 years since I joined Kaminskiy Design & Remodeling, and it has been such a privilege to lead and grow with this incredible team. Looking back on the past decade, what stands out most is the trust our clients place in us and the dedication of the people who make every project possible. In this issue, we’re sharing some of that team spirit with milestone anniversaries, two recent remodels we’re especially proud of, helpful tips and trends for the season, and resources to guide your next project.

Design Trends & Timely Tips
As we head into the fall, two topics are top of mind for San Diego homeowners: protecting your home from the growing threat of wildfires and choosing the right team to guide you through a remodel. This month, we’re sharing two articles that dive deeper into these important topics, how to make your home more wildfire-resistant and why a design-build approach offers the best balance of creativity, efficiency, and peace of mind.
Wildfire-resistant Remodeling in San Diego
Protect Your Home and Family
Wildfires are an increasing threat in San Diego. Is your home prepared? Discover the remodeling strategies that can protect your property and family, from material choices to strategic upgrades that make a real difference when it matters most.
The design-build approach eliminates the usual remodeling headaches by putting design and construction under one roof. Learn why this streamlined process saves time, reduces stress, and delivers better results from start to finish.
Every project we undertake is an opportunity to breathe new life and functionality into our clients’ homes. This month, we’re featuring two very different remodels, a garage conversion that created a charming ADU and a whole-home transformation that beautifully balanced elegance and comfort. Both showcase the creativity, craftsmanship, and care that define every Kaminskiy project.
From Garage to Gorgeous: A Functional ADU Conversion
An underutilized San Diego garage is transformed into a stunning ADU with ample space to breathe. Smart design made every inch count, creating a functional and inviting space perfect for family use or rental income.
Every room completely reimagined. This San Diego whole-home transformation blends sophisticated design with everyday comfort, creating flowing spaces and timeless finishes that reflect how this family really lives.
As we ease into fall, it’s the perfect time to refresh your home for cooler evenings and the busy season ahead. Fall brings a focus on cozy textures, warm color palettes, and minor updates that make a significant impact. From practical maintenance to inspiring design trends, here are four ideas to help you keep your home both stylish and comfortable this month.
Get Your Home Fall-Ready
Check your roof, gutters, and downspouts before the first rains arrive. A quick clean can prevent costly water damage later.
Outdoor Living Transitions
With cooler evenings, consider adding outdoor heaters, layered textiles, or fire pits to make patios and decks comfortable throughout the year.
Statement Lighting
Pendant lights and oversized chandeliers are trending as focal points in kitchens and dining rooms. Updating your lighting can instantly refresh a space.
Warm Neutral Palettes
Designers are moving toward warm taupes, rich browns, and muted terracottas this fall, tones that create cozy, timeless spaces.
