Renovation consulting for homeowners who want to make smart decisions before construction begins.
At House by Ortega, we guide homeowners through the decisions that matter most before construction begins — layouts, materials, and design direction — so nothing gets left to chance. Whether you’re planning a bathroom, kitchen, ADU, or addition, we provide clear and practical guidance so your home works for real life.
How It Works
-
Tell us about your project and what you’re trying to achieve. This is a quick no pressure conversation to see if we’re a good fit.
-
Based on your goals, budget, and timeline, we guide you through layouts, materials, and design-decisions before construction begins.
-
You move into construction knowing exactly what you want, with fewer surprises and costly mistakes.
“So happy to have met with Stefany, she was beyond helpful. I went in with one project/idea in mind and she helped me envision other options. We have started our project and look forward to continue to working together to finish this project and start another. Highly recommend this service!”

When you work with House by Ortega, you're not just hiring a renovation consultant — you're getting a reliable partner who treats your home like their own.
This isn’t surface-level design. It’s real-life renovation planning rooted in creativity, family, and technical know-how to get it right.
“I recently worked with House by Ortega on an ADU conversion, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. They were invaluable to me, especially given my lack of knowledge in construction in general and limited time and patience. Not only did I feel very connected to the project without having to invest a lot of my own time, but their expertise gave me peace of mind throughout the process.
From the start, they demonstrated genuine passion for their work and offered valuable advice. A great example was the initial layout of the unit, even though I had hired an architect for this phase, they provided insightful recommendations and adjustments even before I fully engaged them, which immediately made me comfortable with their expertise.
I trusted Stefany completely with the color choices, bathroom design, living space, and all the finishing touches. She balanced tasteful design with affordability, which was important since this ADU will be a rental. Overall, they made a complex and important project feel manageable and enjoyable, and I highly recommend their services.”
