Our crate arrived at the owners home within a week and without a scratch! The install took only 1 day to complete and looks stunning. The owners, Matt and Leigh along with the builder Eddy Kesky were great hosts and were thrilled with the results.

We also took time to site visit and measure our next job there for Harbour Bay Homes.  It’s a beautiful 7,000 sq. ft. manse in Newport Beach.

After our install we took some meetings about potential new projects in Bel Air and Beverley Hills.  We were given a tour by a local builder of their  $42M true American Beaux-Arts residential masterpiece on Sunset Blvd.

Can’t wait to return in January when the weather here gets really bad!10 foot leaded stained glass dome Seal Beach California
