Founded in 2002, COAT Design Remodel is a design-build firm on C Street in Encinitas's Old Encinitas district, steps from Moonlight Beach. The in-house design department coordinates space planning and material specification alongside independent studios such as JY Design Interiors for layered residential styling. COAT's syndicate model groups multiple licensed tradespeople under one roof rather than subcontracting each discipline separately, compressing timelines on kitchen remodels, bathroom gut-renovations, ADU builds, and outdoor living expansions. Tile and stone sourcing for wet-area installations runs through North County suppliers including San Diego Marble & Tile for slab-matched countertop and shower-surround procurement. Full-scope projects include structural second-story additions requiring moment-frame steel and engineered LVL beam installation to meet current California seismic bracing requirements under CBC Chapter 23.
