Sometimes the stars align. Kevin was recommended by a neighbour as 'the guy' to remodel our vacation home in Palm Desert. He WAS the guy. Kevin is a consumate professional, a stickler for detail, a great communicator with a team of trades who work with him always.
This reno was done without us seeing the project once. We were in Canada. Communication was key. Photos were sent daily during the project. Accounting was sent every week. His suggestions were always bang on. Not often do you meet people who do what they say they are going to do, on time, on budget with no complications. You cannot go wrong by hiring Kevin and his team.Read More
We worked with Kevin multiple projects. He's a true artist in his trade, very talented and courteous. I'd recommend KJM Design & Remodeling to any of my clientsRead More

We would 100% absolutely recommend KJM Design for your remodeling projects.Read More
Kevin was recommended to us by our next door neighbors here in Rancho Mirage and when it was time for us to remodel we contacted him for advice. After meeting with him several times we asked him to do our remodel. Our condo was built in 1975 and was very tired and dated so we decided to do a complete redo including complete renovation of 2 bathrooms, a kitchen, new tile floors and major upgrades to our lighting and electrical system. Kevin was able to see our vision and help us with all aspects of the construction from start to finish. He helped us push the limits of our comfort level and designed a wonderful project that we never could have imagined on our own. He shopped with us and guided us in all our selections from paint color to tile to appliances and all bathroom and kitchen fixtures as well as window coverings. He did a wonderful job start to finish,
Kevin is very organized and kept the project moving throughout the construction which was completed in 7 weeks. We are now back in our house and love everything about it. I highly recommend Kevin to anyone who needs design help or complete turn key construction. We could not have managed without him.Read More

Kevin was our designer and project manager for remodeling our rental home in Palm Desert California during the summer/fall of 2013. Kevin made the entire process simple, smooth and fun as we went from our initial ideas, looking at options, having the changes made to the house followed by the fun part of shopping for furniture. When we saw the final product we were blown away with the overall effect.
We wanted to make the house feel lighter and fresher with a limited budget, and Kevin was able to strike a wonderful balance between significant changes to open up the areas and minor touches to make the completed project really pop. The significant changes were opening up a wall to improve flow and provide a lighter feel, smoothing the textured ceilings, modernizing the kitchen with a simple tile change, wonderful choice of paint colors and as well as helping us choose furniture, the accents that Kevin added really make the house look like a designer house. In total, Kevin added a designer feel to the kitchen, dining room, family room, office, 2 bedrooms, master bedroom and master bathroom.
Kevin provided a turnkey solution for us, which was important given that we live a long distance away. Once the project was completed, we had a house that was fully ready to rent both in appearance and all the essentials needed for a renter to feel comfortable in the house.
We have received compliments from everybody who has seen the house and renters have been very happy with the design and flow of the house.
We followed this up with a second design project for the outside of the house using Kevin's services. This was a relatively simple makeover to provide a more relaxed feeling for people staying at the house. To achieve this, Kevin helped choose some relatively inexpensive furniture and layout ideas, that added both functionality and comfort.
I would highly recommend Kevin's design services to anybody looking for a professional and fun remodel.Read More
In early 2013 we purchased a 3 bedroom condo in Rancho Mirage, CA. This home was built in 1975 and in need of extensive remodeling. In the end it required major demolition to meet our desired design and become a livable desert retreat. After a thorough search, Kevin Morganti firm KJM Design was hired to be the project manager and design consultant.
With major emphasis on the master bath and kitchen, the master bath was expanded to include and enclose what had been an atrium, with an art scene window in the shower, plus a soaking tub. The kitchen remodel included all new cabinets and appliances, relocation of the oven and refrigerator and running a gas line to replace the electric cook top with a gas cook top. This new configuration made for a more appealing and efficient kitchen.
Additional work including updating the guest bath, converting the third bedroom to an office/den, with porcelain wood flooring, while also relocating the washer and dryer from the garage to its enlarged closet. Walls were removed or altered to give a more spacious and open feeling. The bedrooms were recarpeted and the living room and dining room carpeting was replaced with a light porcelain floor. The ceramic tiled courtyard was changed to a "cool deck" finish to reduce heat.
This is a description of the major work, but fully covers all the work coordinated by Kevin. This project grew to be more than initially conceived, but we have to say that we are very pleased with the outcome, in having entrusted Kevin Morganti with complete authority to manage the project in our best interest. We would not hesitate to KJM Design again, or recommend for any job, small or large.

Working with Kevin was such a pleasure! Kevin is a fabulous designer, able to easily visualize design concepts for the glass application. The design we did for this project was so beautiful! Creating just the right effect and privacy his client needed for the area. We look forward to working with Kevin on future projects!Read More
Kevin Morganiti is an accomplished designer and project manager. He worked with me for about 6 months, when he designed the remodeling to be done, chose the materials, prepared the budget, bid and engaged the contractors and then organized and managed the project. He was both respectful of what I wanted while giving me the input that I needed. Equally important to my husband and me was his understanding of the fact that we were living in the house during the rather extensive work and he did what he could to make our lives as manageable as was possible.
I have no reservations about him, his integrity or the quality of his work and would recommend him in a New York minute...Read More
We bought a fixer-upper and gave Kevin only 21 days to remove popcorn ceiling, retile, paint, carpet and all electrical. He accomplished this in only 17 days. He had all of the contractors lined up ahead of time and everything went as scheduled. He was here to supervise all along the process and took nothing for granted, He did a great job for us. The extra bonus you get is he's so fun to work and shop with. We now consider him our friend and will be using him to finish up our house.Read More
