Joseph Focil
President & General ContractorI entered the construction industry in 2006, driven by a deep passion for design and the art of building. While my formal education is in business and finance—earning both my Business degree and MBA from California Lutheran University. My true passion has always been design and construction, particularly creating beautiful, functional kitchens and well-crafted homes.
I am meticulous by nature, with a highly discerning eye for detail, and I hold every project to the highest standard from concept through completion. Excellence is not an aspiration; it is the foundation upon which the company was built and the standard by which every decision is made. Our work reflects a commitment to timeless design, thoughtful execution, and abenchmark by which all our work is measured.
Beyond the business, travel remains a continual source of inspiration, exposing me to refined design, architectural detail, and global building practices that influence our work. I am a devoted husband to my wife, Catalina, and a proud father of two sons and one daughter-values that reinforce the importance of integrity, legacy, and craftsmanship in everything we create.
Catalina Focil
Vice President - Marketing & SalesAs Vice President of Marketing & Sales, I bring a lifelong passion for design and fashion into the way our brand is presented, communicated, and experienced. From an early age, I developed a deep appreciation for detail, balance, and timeless style—principles that now guide how I position our company, connect with clients, and showcase the quality of our work. Over time, my passion naturally gravitated toward kitchens, as I came to recognize them as the true heart of the home—where everyday moments become lasting memories. This understanding shapes both our marketing vision and our client relationships, ensuring that every project reflects not only exceptional craftsmanship, but also meaningful, livable design.
Being able to bring our best ideas, talent, and dedication into every kitchen we build is what motivates me and fuels my commitment to driving growth, building lasting client relationships, and elevating our brand. I am also a proud mother of three beautiful children, whom my husband and I have raised to be competitive athletes, dedicated students, and well-rounded individuals. I love to travel, continue learning, and spend quality time with my family, drawing inspiration from new experiences, cultures, and designs that influence both my personal perspective and professional approach.

Danielle Galante
Interior DesignerI’m a designer who loves making spaces that are truly beautiful, functional and timeless. Originally from Wisconsin, I studied at Southeast Missouri State University and later interned in New York City, experiences that influenced my creative style and approach as a designer. When I’m not designing, you’ll find me exploring new places, trying new recipes and going to concerts.

My passion for photography and videography began at a young age when my family gifted me my first camera. When I’m not behind the camera, I enjoy spending long days at the beach, exploring new places, singing and dancing with friends, and cherishing time with my family.
