San Diego Home Remodeling: Meet Hossini Homes

A new kitchen sounds great until you start wondering where you’ll make coffee while the old one is torn apart. Or where the furniture will go. Or who’s handling the dust before you move everything back in.

Those details are worth sorting out early. At Reliable Cleans, our work is house cleaning in San Diego, so we’re looking at remodeling from the perspective of the person who has to live in the house during the work and keep it clean afterward.

For the renovation itself, here’s a local business to get to know: Hossini Homes. Below, we’ve pulled together a look at the company’s work and the questions we’d put on a homeowner’s planning list.

01 / The Team

A Family-Owned San Diego Remodeling Company

Hossini Homes is a family-owned San Diego remodeling company led by Sohail and Elizabeth Hossini. Sohail leads the contracting side, while Elizabeth contributes to design and project planning.

Its remodeling and interior design services cover both the building work and decisions about how a space will look and function. The company also offers construction and design consulting. If you’re planning a kitchen remodel, bathroom renovation, or whole-home remodel, ask which services make sense for your project and what the quote includes.

Hossini Homes outlines a process that starts with a consultation and planning, then moves through construction to a final walkthrough. Use that first meeting to talk about your budget, your timeline, and whether you’ll be staying in the house.

02 / Local Inspiration

Home Remodeling Projects Around San Diego

When you look through a remodeling contractor’s photos, save the rooms that remind you of your own. A beautiful kitchen is useful inspiration, but a project with a similar layout may give you better questions to ask.

Hossini Homes’ remodeling projects include these San Diego-area homes:

The company also publishes a La Jolla whole-home remodel gallery.

Maybe you want to open the kitchen into the living room, add bathroom storage, or stop squeezing past furniture downstairs. Bring a few examples and explain what you like about each one.

Ask what changed in those homes, what made the work complicated, and how your project might compare. Photos don’t tell you whether walls moved or plumbing had to be relocated.

03 / Your Priorities

What Do You Want to Fix About Your Home?

Before choosing finishes, write down the problems you want the remodel to solve.

Does everything end up on the kitchen counter because there isn’t enough storage? Is the bathroom awkward to clean around? Does furniture block the natural path through the room?

A useful starting list might include:

• More storage for items used every day.
• Easier access around appliances and bathroom fixtures.
• Fewer places where clutter collects.
• Materials with care requirements that fit your routine.
• A layout that works when several people are home.

Bring that list to your contractor or designer. It’s easier to choose between two layouts when you know which daily frustration you’re trying to fix.

Would you want to clean it every week? Open shelves can look great, but the dishes and shelves stay exposed to dust and cooking residue. If you already struggle to keep the counters clear, closed cabinets might suit you better.

04 / Before Work Begins

Living at Home During a Remodel: What to Ask

If you plan to live at home during the remodel, discuss the day-to-day arrangements before construction starts.

Ask your contractor:

• Which rooms will remain usable? Understand when you may lose access to the kitchen, a bathroom, or a main entry.
• How will the work area be separated? Ask about protection for nearby floors, furniture, and rooms outside the project.
• Where will materials and tools be stored? Agree on access routes and storage areas.
• What cleanup happens each day? Clarify who handles construction debris and what condition the work area will be left in.
• Who communicates schedule changes? Know your main contact and how updates will reach you.

Hossini Homes discusses home protection, work hours, cleanup, and a final walkthrough on its website. Ask how those arrangements would work in your house, especially if you’ll be home during the day.

Before the crew arrives, empty the affected cabinets and move fragile belongings. Keep the things you’ll need each day somewhere you can reach without walking through the work area.

05 / A Clear Handoff

Construction Cleanup vs. Deep House Cleaning

If a quote says “cleanup included,” ask exactly what that covers. Hauling away old cabinets and cleaning dust out of the new ones are different jobs.

Before scheduling a cleaning visit, agree on who will handle each stage:

A deep house cleaning is not automatically a post-construction cleaning service. Tell your cleaning provider what was remodeled, whether construction dust or residue remains, and which surfaces are new. Confirm that the work is covered before booking.

Our Reliable Cleans cleaning checklist shows what’s included in each service. If your home has just been remodeled, contact us first so we can check the scope and help you choose the right option.

06 / Protect the Finishes

How to Clean Your New Countertops, Cabinets, and Floors

Before the final walkthrough, ask your contractor for the product names and care instructions for your new surfaces. Save them somewhere you can find them when it’s time to clean.

Keep a simple folder with information about:

• Countertops and backsplashes.
• Flooring.
• Cabinet finishes.
• Tile and grout.
• Shower glass and plumbing fixtures.
• Any surfaces that need special care after installation.

Ask when newly installed surfaces can be cleaned and which products or tools should be avoided. Share those instructions with anyone who will clean the home.

Don’t assume the spray you used on the old counter is right for the new one. Similar-looking materials can need different care.

If you want less upkeep, say so before materials are ordered. Ask what regular cleaning involves and whether the finish needs any extra maintenance.

07 / Everyday Home Care

Recurring House Cleaning After the Remodel

Once the building work and construction cleanup are finished, you can settle back into a regular house cleaning routine.

Start with the areas you use most. Keep kitchen surfaces accessible, give everyday items a storage spot, and follow the care guidance for new bathroom fixtures and flooring.

Reliable Cleans offers recurring cleaning in San Diego on weekly, biweekly, and monthly schedules. Choose based on the people and pets in your house, how often you cook, and how much cleaning you want to do between visits.

If you’re unsure how often to book, our weekly versus biweekly cleaning guide can help you compare.
