Make Your Dream Home Come True

Lumina handled our master bath remodel; project manager Tal made things easy and had great ideas. Finished on time and looks beautiful, a low-stress remodel!

I had to have an entire main bathroom redone due to water damage. My relatives had recommended Lumina Builders from their own experience. Everything they indicated was true. While not necessarily the least expensive to chose from, their work was impeccable. My project was not as large as they usually do, but they had a nearby one going, so they were willing to work us in. I worked with Ron (Sensitive Information Hidden), the project manager. He was able to get the project completed in time, and within the quoted budget. It was a pleasure to work with him and his crew. Ron communicated about every detail and did not leave until we were all satisfied. Highly recommend this company.

My experience with Lumina builders was fantastic. I have been looking for a contractor to assist with remodeling a couple rental units I own and Lumina came highly recommended. From the initial consultation meeting, to selecting materials and designing the space to the execution and construction, the process was straightforward and pleasant. The results are beyond expectations. Highly recommended!

David from lumina builders was an absolute pleasure to work with he remodeled my mother's bathroom and it turned out absolutely amazing. His workers were always on time never left a mess.I would highly recommend this company I will definitely use them again in the future.they also came in with the best price.

Just had Lumia complete our master bathroom remodel. WOW! check out the pictures. I'm in the Navy as a nuclear officer, quality assurance is a huge part of my job. Carols the prime contractor was INCREDIBLE! ATTENTION TO DETAIL was 100% with Carlos. If it wasn't correct he redid the work. Oded was very attentive helped us every step of the way. 100% would recommend Lumia Builders for your remodel.

Two years ago, we purchased a house that needed some updating, so we went looking for a reliable contractor. Based on family recommendations, we chose Lumina Builders to help us with the updates in our home. We were looking to have walls moved, bathroom remodeled, convert a laundry room into a wet bar and have some other things done. We worked with Mor who was our project manager. She was very knowledgeable and helpful with our needs. We appreciated that the pricing for what we needed was competitively priced and the quality of work exceeded our expectations. During any of the jobs, the contractors advised us on small improvements to make the overall finished job even better. I cannot express how rare this combination of attributes is. Over multiple projects, we have been very pleased with Lumina Builders. We are fans for life.

We remodeled our bathroom with Lumina Builders and we recommend them highly. We picked Lumina from six bids, and theirs was the second lowest. The project started with David, the owner, as project manager, and then it was taken over by Tal. Both were hands on, detail oriented, responsive, friendly, and kept the work flowing. The workers were skilled, competent, professional, considerate and kept the rest of the house and yard as clean as possible. In the end they did an excellent job. The project came in on budget and within the agreed timeframe, even though this was the time when supply chain issues were common in the economy. It took a little over two months from start to finish. We love our new bathroom and we even became fond of David, Tal, and Osman, Solomon and several of the other workers.

Lumina Builders just completed removing a wall between our family & living rooms & we couldn't be more pleased with the process & results. Alon was our project manager & from the moment he stepped into our house for the estimate until the project was completed, he was helpful, knowledgeable & responsive. His communication was beyond all expectations. We weren't sure what direction to go with opening up space in our house, and Alon made great suggestions without being the least bit pushy. He explained the process & associated costs thoroughly. The outcome left our home transformed.The owner, David and the construction team headed by Ros were also fantastic. We highly recommend Lumina without hesitation.

We just completed a kitchen remodel with Joey and Lumina Builders. The finished product is absolutely beautiful and the process was pain free. Joey and his crew did exactly what they said they would do and did a excellent job. I chose Lumina and Joey to remodel my kitchen because they did the tile in my guest bathroom and I was so impressed with the job and with Joey's management of the process. If you are looking for a personal, honest and reliable contractor, I highly recommend Joey and Lumina Builders.

We can not be more happy with our garage to ADU renovation and living room expansion. Our project manager Ron Gauzner exceeded all of our expectations!! He was so professional, creative, design forward and communicative. I could not recommend Lumina and Ron more highly. We chose Lumina Builders after another contractor became ill and could not start the project. Lumina had to save us from an architectural design flaw and worked tirelessly with the original architect who needed frequent coaching from Ron's team. Needless to say, Ron guided us through this project and delivered beyond our expectations. Our family loves our new home! We will only use Lumina Builders for our future projects.

We now have two beautiful fully renovated bathrooms. Thank you Lumina Builders. Specifically our project manager, Shon Gausner. Shon was very helpful and had many suggestions and ideas, he kept the project moving ahead smoothly and was very patient with us. Thank you again, Jim & Janice

After interviewing several contractors, visiting showrooms, and scouring through reviews on Yelp and other websites, we chose to have Lumina Builders to perform a complete master bath remodel for us. From the beginning we felt a great connection with our salesperson/ project manager Joey. Joey worked with us extensively in identifying the material and design we wanted. We especially appreciated Joey's patience and working through our indecisiveness. When the project did finally kick-off, Joey and Lumina Builders displayed a high level of professionalism. Even when their were "hiccups", Joey was there to help us and/or their subcontractors work through the issues. At the end, the project was completed in the timeline and within the budget we had set forth. If there was one area I could say is an area of improvement, it would be the subs showing up at the time they are scheduled. There were times we were expecting them and they did not show, but showed up on a different day. The reason I give Lumina Builders and Joey a five star, however, is his responsiveness to customer service issues. We noticed a couple of areas that needed "touching up" because of settling after the project was completed and Joey was "Johnny on the spot" when it came to getting them fixed which is unusual amongst contractors as a whole. Typically, it is difficult to get a response once the job is completed.

Lumina Builders Inc. was great. I've worked with contractors before and it was a completely different experience. The project manager Mor was great she always made sure I was aware of what was going on day to day. She would come to our house every day to find out what the subcontractors were planning to do and hold them to that. The subcontractors Osmond finished the entire project when they said they would even when with unexpected problems arose. Osmond was always friendly and respectful of my home. I would skip dealing with any other company.

I rarely write a review, but since I found Lumina Builders on Yelp and called them because of their stellar reviews, I wanted to share my own experience as well to help someone else looking for the best! When you are looking to do a renovation - it's difficult to know who to trust and who will exceed your expectations. I went through 3 different design consultations before I called Lumina. Meet Ella, "Project Manager Extraordinaire"... Within 5 minutes of her walking through my home , looking through a few pinterest pics of the direction I wanted to go, and discussing budgets - I knew I had found "my person". Ella has a gift! She quickly figures out your vision, and confidently pulls it all together for you seamlessly. This is her genius in life. She is that good. As a project manager - let's just say she is ON IT. She runs a very tight ship, and is always one call a way from handling whatever needs to be taken care of. I didn't have to worry about ANYTHING. Nico ,"The Architect" is the perfect partner with Ella. Between the two of them - they figured every aspect of the remodel. Not only brilliant himself - but just as genuine and authentic as Ella. Now for their team: Benny, Diego, Moses, Jose, and all the others... Each of them is professional, courteous, respectful, and reliable. I love that Ella and Nico have their "own" team they work with. It was like clockwork to watch the process unfold. I was comfortable with everyone that came into our home, and they all cleaned up after the work as if the work and chaos had never happened. They stayed late, worked weekends if necessary, even a holiday to finish the project on time. This is a hard working, focused, and dedicated team. And, YES... the project was finished on time AND on budget. The end result is a home we have fallen in love with again. Although a remodel is anything but fun, the process wasn't as difficult as it could have been due to the expertise and execution on their entire team. I highly and confidently recommend Ella and Nico. If you need help with your vision, design, or simply to execute a remodel - these are your people. Look no further, they will not disappoint!

Lumina Builders did a wonderful job with our fireplace remodel. We do not take home improvement projects lightly and we have wanted to re-do our fireplace for years. We read Yelp reviews and decided to get estimates from some of the top-rated contractors. But once we met Mor from Lumina Builders, we looked no further! Mor was prompt, friendly, and professional in every interaction we had with her... Low pressure as a saleswoman, but high expectations as a project manager. She made several trips to our home prior to starting demolition and was always direct in her communication and flexible in her approach to creating the perfect solution for our desires. Add to that her kind nature with our family and wonderful humor--it was a pleasure working with her! Mor chose Alder as our contractor and he did an excellent job. He arrived early every morning and stayed into the early evening when needed. He was careful with moving equipment and materials in and out of the house while he worked and always left his workspace clean, utilizing a plastic dust protection "room" for the entire project. Our project included a new fireplace element for him and he and Mor attacked the problem with a lot of creativity and persistence. We highly recommend Lumina Builders and look forward to working with them again on our next remodeling project!

We hired Lumina Builders to tackle a remodel in Clairemont, and we couldn't be happier with the results. Alon's design expertise was invaluable--his creative vision and renovation knowledge helped us hit the ground running. The process of choosing materials in their showroom was quick and seamless. After the design phase, Shon took over as project manager and was incredibly responsive and helpful, making the process less stressful. We mostly used their vendors and picked a few of our own based on cost. The final result exceeded our expectations, both in style and functionality. We definitely recommend Lumina Builders.

David is from lumina builders was very friendly and professional.they turned my mother's old bathroom into a beautiful and amazing one of a kind bathroom. They came in with a really reasonable price. Did the job in a very timely manner and we're very good with cleanup. I would highly recommended builders they were by far one of the better contractors that I've ever worked with I will definitely use them again in the near future do yourself a favor and give them a shot.

Lumina worked on our house and did a wonderful job with our kitchen! They were always in contact with us throughout the project. We had Omri as our project manager and he excelled in every aspect. Recommend to everyone!

We just completed a whole home renovation using Lumina Builders. Ella and Nico were our project managers and we couldn't have asked for a better team. Gutting your entire home is not for the faint of heart. Gutting it during Covid while your children are distance learning at home might just be plain stupid, but we did it anyways! Ella, Nico, Alberto and his team made our dream come true. During the design process Ella and Nico came up with ideas we never would have thought of. They routinely came up with solutions to the vast problems that come along with remodeling a home built in 1956. Especially a home that is virtually entirely brick. Brick everywhere...inside, outside....everywhere! The brick posed a lot of problems and the team always came up with reasonable, creative solutions. We lived in parts of our home during the renovation. This was not easy on the crew as they had to work around turning off electricity around our children's school Zoom schedules. They never complained and worked with us around our crazy schedules. The crew was very respectful about the fact that a family was living through the construction. They cleaned up at the end of each day and communicated what the work and schedule was going to be for the next day. Whether it be to expect loud noise the next day or the water being shut off or electricity being shut off. Ella helped us design our home during the entire project. She went shopping with me and helped me narrow down not only what would look good in the space but also how to keep the design flow throughout the entire home. When I purchased items online I routinely sent her links to the items to get her opinion. This part of the design process was invaluable. Our home wouldn't look as nice as it does if Ella hadn't steered me in the right direction for fixtures, hardware and colors. Nico, the ever calming influence of the group:) Nico always came to the rescue. When we ran into trouble with unforeseen problems with gutting an old house, he was always there to provide insight and solutions. One time after a huge headache occurred attributed to the age of our home, I heard Nico say..."It's OK. There's always a solution to every problem." Not only does he say that, he does it. He always found a solution to every problem. Ella and Nico...they were a part of our family for a year working on this project. Our kids, our animals, our neighbors...everyone got to know them and love them. They are those kinds of special people! Alberto and his team were so knowledgeable about the work being done. Alberto was a perfectionist in the work he completed and wouldn't finish the project, whether it be tile, flooring, fixtures, without it being up to his standards. Alberto was always available to help. He even came over last minute on a Sunday to help with a water leak that was occurring in an area of the house that he hadn't even started working on. That's the type of commitment he gave to our family and this project. We literally can't say enough great things about Ella, Nico, Alberto and the entire Lumina Team. We had a great experience from start to finish. As I said in the beginning, a whole home renovation is no joke. It's stressful, it's expensive, it's noisy, it's dusty...it completely takes over your life. However, if you have the right team to help you through it every step of the way and calm you down and do it the RIGHT way, you will get through it and have the home of your dreams. Lumina is the right company to go with. You will absolutely not regret contracting Lumina. And ask for Ella and Nico while you're at it! Thank you Lumina! Our home is beautiful and we survived the whole home renovation because of your team.

Working with Lumina Builders for our 2 bathroom repair/remodel was the best decision we could make, after we made the unfortunate decision of originally going with a contractor recommended by our insurance company (who I hear is no longer in operation due to bad practices). While we dealt with unmet deadlines, unprofessional behavior, and shoddy workmanship with the first contractor, the Lumina Builders team was the TOTAL opposite, and they turned a very stressful situation for our family completely around! We could not have asked for a better outcome with our bathrooms--they are simply perfect. From the very first day interacting with our project manager Shon, he was extremely professional, punctual and excellent with communication. We knew our project was in great hands, and he seemed very caring and determined to help us complete our project in time, so we could move our family back home. The foreman he appointed, Marco, was equally professional and easy to communicate our design preferences with. The plumber, electrician, and shower door installer they hired were top notch as well. I highly recommend Lumina Builders, especially with Shon as the project manager, and I would not hesitate to work with them again for any future home improvement projects.

I bought a house that had known foundation issues. I met with 3 companies that each surveyed the scope of the project and gave me a quote. The first quote was high, but from a very reputable company. He never really followed up with me, however. The second quote was better, but they didn't ever follow up once and also said it would take a couple of months to get to me. Then I got David's quote from Lumina Builders. Not only was the pricing the best, but David spent the time to sit with me in my house and draw diagrams, explain the project, and look at other things that needed to be done. He followed up, scheduled quickly, and completed the work highly to my satisfaction. I am so happy I went with Lumina Builders. They are professional, one time, priced right, caring and sensitive to the fact that this is my home, not just some project that they have. Going forward I don't need to search Yelp again for my building needs. When I am going to put an addition onto my house I am just going to call David and ask him to come over and evaluate it with me. My trust is with him, and in this market with different levels of sophistication and work ethics, your trust should be with Lumina Builders also.

Omer was amazing, great to work with. He made sure everything was done correctly and exactly how we wanted. Very trustworthy , honest and reliable. He and his team went above and beyond, covering every detail. The project was done in a timely manner and they were very thoughtful about cleaning up at the end of everyday. We love our new bathroom! We will definitely be calling them again for our next project. We highly recommend Omer and his team at Lumina Builders.

Lumina Builders just finished redoing our guest bathroom and I couldn't be happier. It proceed much quicker than expected. Omer kept everything moving along smoothly. He was always available and unfailingly upbeat and extremely helpful. Being a project manager is not for the faint of heart. Omer has the best work ethic, is customer service focused and he is simply a very nice person. The crew, Ross, Javier, Poncho and Ray, were spectacular! Thank you Omer and team!!

I had the honor of renovating the whole house with lumina, David is a professional, who knows how to give peace of mind during the renovation, the result is perfect and I am so satisfied. Thank you David for making my dream come true

Great local company! They renovated our master bedroom and bath. Initially I had a different plan in mind but they offered a better idea which provided us with a better floor plan and more space. The tile work was amazing! Beyond that, customer service was great and it seemed as they really cared about our project. Highly recommended!

My wife and I decided to select Lumina builders to gut and renovate our kitchen. Having gone through the renovation of other areas of my home, we know what a process that can be. Having no kitchen would be upsetting; I love to cook and for me the kitchen is truly the heart of the home. Ron and the whole team made the whole process less stressful. Everything they did from start to finish was handled professionally which put me at ease. I love my kitchen and I can't wait to show it off. Thanks again to Ron and everyone at Lumina builders . You are the best! Five stars all around.

Lumina Builders has just completed a whole house remodel for us. Joey Dahan was a pleasure to work with. Joey very clearly outlined expectations for budget and timeline, and worked with us to adjust and fine-tune both as needed. The weekly meetings during construction were very organized and efficient. Lumina Builders also partners very well with any subcontractors needed to ensure that the same level of professionalism and work ethic is provided. Joey and his team are thorough, and customer-oriented. We enjoyed working with the entire staff and highly recommend them as they are a very respectful and trustworthy company.

We selected Lumina Builders to remodel our small galley kitchen. Our project manager, Mor, was exceptional...she regularly communicated with us throughout the 4 week project and consistently responded to our emails/texts/phone calls right away and took action, regardless of the issue. The work crew, Martin and Anthony, were professional, respectful, and courteous. Stephanie, who coordinated the building of our cabinets, provided excellent service working with us to get the custom cabinets we wanted. Voldemort, who installed the quartz countertop, was also excellent in his attention to detail and his commitment to doing a quality job.

I didn't have anything done to my house but Lumina was my top choice for what I was looking to accomplish. They came out, walked right up to my door and said "I can't sell you anything because it would not be worth your time". Do to some city law or something, I can't build onto my house since the property lot is so small. I am giving a 5 star cause it was quick and he could have tried to sell me on like 50 sq feet but he was just honest and quick. If I ever need something, Lumina will be my first stop.

We just completed a remodel of most of our downstairs including completely a new kitchen. Joey Dahan was the general contractor/designer. He was AMAZING! From start to finish he was a true professional who went above and beyond our expectations. He made what could have been a very difficult time as pleasant as possible. I would use him for anything else I may need in the future. I have absolutely nothing bad to say about him and our whole experience.

After a year of living in our dated Bird Rock home, we were finally ready to tackle a major renovation. We needed to completely remodel the kitchen, two bathrooms, a bedroom suite, plus new flooring and full interior paint. After consulting with several builders, we chose Lumina Builders. I cannot emphasize enough how happy we are with our choice. From the start, our project manager Oded Friedman was honest and resourceful in helping us navigate the process and the dozens of design decisions required. He has a strong artistic sense along with deep construction knowledge so we always felt in good hands. Additionally, our construction lead, George, was a perfectionist about detail work so everything was done beautifully. We never experienced the common issue of "change orders" jacking up the price. The only time we paid extra was when we discovered that all of our old plumbing was rotting. That wasn't part of the original bid so we paid for that directly to the plumber. With every other unexpected problem, Lumina absorbed the cost. Considering that we did all this work during Covid 19, it's a miracle we finished only a couple months late. To keep us safe, they staged the construction so that we could remain in our house. For example, during those scary early days of Covid, we stayed snugly inside an unused downstairs bedroom/bathroom while work took place upstairs and around us. We love the beautiful, updated look and comfort of our renovated home and have only gratitude to our builders for helping to make it our dream home.

We contracted Lumina for an extensive remodel on our duplex in San Diego – two kitchens, two bathrooms, hardwood floor work, window installs and outside painting. Lumina Builders acted as our GC and we were very pleased with their work from design through construction, and with the professionalism and technical skill of our Project Manager, Joey Dahan! All of Lumina’s subcontractors were professional, timely, talented craftsmen. Joey’s hands on management style, creative ideas and professional contacts in the city made the job go smoothly and according to spec and contract. We would enthusiastically recommend these builders for any project, large or small.

Lumina Builders remodeled our kitchen & bathroom. Joey showed up at our first meeting with a nice portfolio of previous work. After checking out Lumina Builders we realized we were in good hands. David and the construction crew were professional and treated our house as if it was their own. We would definitely hire Joey and Lumina Builders again.

I highly recommend Lumina Builders Inc for your home remodel. They are knowledgeable, efficient, and helpful and I will definitely be referring them to my friends as well as use them again. Thank you to the whole team for giving me such a beautiful bathroom. Their timeliness, unique ideas, and professionalism made the process painless, and I am so grateful to them for making my bathroom better than I could have even imagined.

We had a good experience with Guy from Lumina Builders. We needed to get the master bathroom remodeled and floors redone from carpet to laminate, and ended up deciding on Lumina. They had a business style that appealed to us, maintained a professional demeanor, and overall, provided an enjoyable experience. We've had work done in our home before, but this was the biggest project we'd experienced; so naturally, there were uncertainties going into it. That said, Guy's responsive communication style, timeliness in providing both updates on the progress and answers to our questions, eased us greatly. This was definitely a standout point. What added to the experience was his crew and experience with individual contractors and showroom contacts. If there is any attestation to the quality of this company as a whole it is the quality of the people who work for and with the company. The end product is beautiful! It really is a vision come alive. As we've already done to others, we would recommend Guy of Lumina. We imagine all those employed with Lumina provide satisfactory service, and from our experience, Guy is one to go with.

We had a bathroom and powder room remodeled by Lumina builders. Lumina Builders did a superb job on our project. Our project manager, Shon, guided us through every step of the remodel, and his crew was punctual, friendly, professional, and very trustworthy. The crew worked on our bathrooms every day until completion; in fact, our bathrooms were completed ahead of schedule! Thank you, Shon and Lumina Builders. I'll definitely recommend you to my friends & family.

My husband and I met Lumina Builders at a home show in downtown San Diego September of 2017. When we looked them up on Yelp, they had lots of great reviews and we scheduled an appt with them. Joey showed up and spent 2 hours with us to discuss the remodeling of our house. We wanted to remodel our entire kitchen and two bathrooms, knock down 3 walls to have an open concept living room/kitchen. We also changed the flooring of our entire house in addition to painting the entire house, added recess lights in living room, kitchen, and one of our bedrooms. At the end of this project (and this being our first experience with a contractor), we were very pleased with the work. Joey is very reliable and responsive to text messages, phone calls, and emails. He likes to work with his clients when issues come up and resolves them. In addition, he beat the schedule of this project by 50% (finished it in 2.5 months). This included his crew working during Thanksgiving and Christmas weeks. We highly recommend Lumina Builders and especially Joey for any remodeling. This is one trusted contractor company that you can rely on and have a piece of mind that they get the job done.

My wife and I are quite picky and indecisive, however after the estimate meeting we had with Lumina, our decision was fairly easy. We were looking to do a kitchen remodel and had plenty of ideas in mind, but Tamari was able to take our initial ideas and come up with the perfect design layout that we knew we were in good hands. Their references were solid and the pricing is fair for what you get. And we got a whole lot... Beautiful granite countertops, custom cabinets, an oversized Island, and beautiful new floors. After the kitchen was complete, we also put new hardwood floors throughout the whole house. They completed that portion so quickly and the transformation it made for the home in its entirety is exactly what we were looking for. Thank you to Tamari, David, and the rest of the team for creating our galley style kitchen, we love it!

Our master bathroom was desperately in need of an update which we had put off dreading the inconvenience and inevitable mess of construction. We knew the basics of what we wanted and I went to work pulling together the design. After researching remodeling companies Lumina really stood out along with their great "Yelp" reviews. We placed a call, scheduled an appointment and the next day met an absolutely wonderful project manager, Amit, the definition of serendipity. Amit had promised he would come by the site every day to check in, which he did. We trusted him and like any construction project there were a few hiccups which were immediately addressed and corrected. His customer focus is amazing. We were pleased with the project as it progressed and he quickly responded to questions or requests. He is a consummate professional and absolute joy to work with. Amit is an outstanding ambassador for Lumina, and we are delighted with our new master bathroom.

The short version is call Lumina Builders and ask for Ella and Nico! They're amazing! The longer version is below: We had been planning on doing a whole house remodel and were having the hardest time finding contractors that we felt we wanted to work with. We spent several months and couldn't find a company we wanted to work with. Either the quotes were ridiculously high or the companies basically just wanted to do some cookie cutter plan they had (or both.) When we met with Ella and Nico from Lumina Builders it was completely different. They had tons of enthusiasm and fantastic ideas about what we could do. We decided to try out a small project with them before committing to the whole house project and they just exceeded every expectation. The prices were reasonable, they helped us design and choose materials (even going shopping with us) and the crews were very respectful and clean. We were thrilled with that first test so immediately went ahead with the whole house remodel and they continued to be amazing. The whole process has really been a pleasure and we can't recommend Ella and Nico enough. They really bring a fun personal touch to the project. We've already recommended them to several friends.

We had a great experience with Ron and Lumina builders. They were helpful, fast and professional. We were able to accomplish so much in a relatively short amount of time. We have a great new bathroom, finished garage, patio, roof, windows, closets & so much more. Ron handled all of the coordinating which helped us navigate the process. Overall, would definitely use them again or recommend to a friend.

My wife and I were expecting our first child so we bought and moved into a new home. After we lived there for a few weeks we really didn't like the kitchen and wanted to remove 2 walls to make an open concept. I am a contractor, however I was not able to take on a project of this size and finish it before our baby arrived. We interviewed a couple of contractors and David was the only contractor whom could meet our deadline at a fair price. He scheduled the architect and acquired all permits for us. As a contractor I am very particular and want things done a certain way. Davids foreman Sean was very understanding and completed everything to my standards, he also helped calm my pregnant wife down and reassured her that her blown-up kitchen will be together before the baby comes. David and Sean did a great job and I would hire them again.

after four bids, we hired Lumina Builders and we are so happy we did! We worked with project managers, Alon and Dor. with the other bids, I had to wait weeks just to get a quote but Alon gave me a quote on the same day he came out. He had some excellent ideas that the other builders didn't even bring up which really improved the look of our remodel. For example in the bathroom, he recommended getting rid of the little wall to open up the space, he suggested upgrading our ceiling lights, which made a huge improvement in the look of our home and there were other things he noticed that even builders who had designers come out did not bring up. Alon and Dor were both very easy to work with and always made changes when I requested them. for example, even though the project was pretty much finished, I noticed a tile in the bathroom that I didn't like the look of he had his tile installer come out and change it the next day.

Me and my wife Jackie have only one thing to say.....Thank God for sending Guy from Lumina Builders to our house you help us design and remodel the guest bathroom. it is exactly what we wanted and so we even decided to remodel the master bathroom as well!! Guy was great and I was so fortunate because he was so patient with us and helped us make every little decision with price and style in mind the whole time he helped us to choose the best style of countertop, toilet, sink and even helped design the tile on the floor too! He seriously helped us with every small question, we have so say he was so professional and we appreciate his time and patience because we are not easy customers... I really recommend Guy and his fast crew thank you for making are dream come true! And my mom will call you soon because she has a bathroom to remodel too, thanks again!!

Lumina contractors was perfect. I have had bad experiences in the past and they restored my confidence in contractors. Guy Madar was the project manager and he supported me through the entire process including design, choosing materials and through construction completion.I never doubted the project would be completed within my specifications and indeed it was. I liked that no subcontractors were used and all workers were employeed by Lumina. The foreman Alder was personable and caring. The whole experience was great. I would definitly recommend them and will use them again.

I can't say enough great things about Lumina Builders! I work in construction contract management and have also completed a few major renovations in downtown San Diego at my private residence and on a rental property. David, Tamari, Josh and the rest of the Lumina team are by far the most professional, competent and courteous builders I have ever worked with! I contracted Lumina builders for a major kitchen renovation which included the demolition of a structural kitchen wall to open up the living/dining space. I also got quotes from Home Depot (and their preferred General Contractors, New Life Construction) and another San Diego General Contractor. Lumina was by far the best priced, completed the work on a demanding timeline (only 4 weeks, with renters scheduled to move in shortly thereafter), and talked me through every step of the process, ensuring my satisfaction. The proof is in the pictures--I got a beautiful kitchen, done RIGHT, for a great price! More detailed information, broken out by Cost and Quality and Professionalism follows below. Cost: Working in the construction industry, I have developed a bit of a healthy distrust of contractors. Not that all contractors are evil, but you become more familiar with some of the tricks that the bad ones will make to improve their bottom line. When I got Lumina's quote, it was so low compared to the other two contractors' quotes that I was actually hesitant to go with them. I was worried that they would attempt to make money up on the back end by claiming certain items of work weren't included in the original estimate. Unforeseen conditions did occur on my project as they inevitably do on any construction project. In all cases, Lumina quickly developed corrective action, educated me on the best way ahead, and NEVER up-charged me! Not only did they not nickel and dime me, they even threw in a few "freebies," such as installing a new dining room pendant lamp so that it matched my new kitchen, fixing a sticky door, and hauling some stuff to the dump for me. I was concurrently doing some DIY projects and they were happy to give me project tips--I got such great added value from their input. Since I intended to rent the property, David reigned me in when I was making design choices that were too costly or too personal to be wise for rental purposes. He has the experience and the industry contacts to keep costs down. At his suggestion, we got my entire countertop from a prefab supplier for under $1k. It is a beautiful piece of quartz and it looks like marble for a fraction of the price and with less maintenance. Lumina Builders completed the entire project for what Home Depot wanted to charge me just to replace the cabinets and countertops. Quality and Professionalism: After spending over 2 weeks working out a design concept for my kitchen with Home Depot, I was so frustrated when their preferred builder told me they WOULDN'T EVEN DO THE WORK because of the liability involved in structural reconfigurations in a multi-story downtown condo. Opening up the kitchen floor plan was the most important element of the kitchen renovation for me, and I just wasn't interested in doing the work if I couldn't eliminate the kitchen wall. When I explained my vision to David, he didn't even bat an eyelash, and then he showed me DOZENS of pictures of completed kitchens where he had successfully eliminated kitchen walls. David's willingness to take on a bit of a riskier build proved to me that he is more than just a fly by night builder who wants to rip out your cabinets and replace them as quickly as possible. Despite having many ongoing projects, I was personally contacted by either my project manager or the company partners every day. They kept close tabs on my project's progress and updated me regularly throughout all the different phases of work. They worked under close scrutiny of the downtown inspectors and passed all of the rigorous inspections. Josh, my Project Manager, embodies the kind of friendliness and customer service that you just don't find anymore these days. When I was asking him some questions about the project, I apologized for being what I considered a painful, micromanaging customer. He actually genuinely THANKED me for my questions and said (to paraphrase), "Your questions and input are great--keep them coming. We want to make sure you are completely satisfied with the finished product!" It is such a rarity in the construction world to have a crew so attentively listen to and address your concerns! Oh and by the way, did I mention that they did all the work while I was living in the condo with a 2 month old infant, my husband, and my mom? They entire crew was very conscientious of the effects of the dust and noise on my family and neighbors and worked within the very strict guidelines of my Home Owners Association (HOA). If you're considering building with Lumina, you will NOT be disappointed. I'd type more, but out of room!

We hired Lumina Builders to do a complete renovation on our large master bathroom. Mor Hanson was our project manager and she did a great job. We met everyday to discuss progress on the project and she was always available (day or night) to discuss concerns as they arose. Mor was very committed to the project and seemed personally vested in making sure the job was done to our complete satisfaction. We did have a few issues that came up along the way regarding the professionalism of some of the crew, but Mor addressed them right away. Overall, we're very happy with our bathroom and appreciate Mor's dedication to making sure it turned out the way we envisioned.

Had 3 bathrooms remodeled and could not be happier. Very professional and easy to work with. My personal recommendation, if you chose to use them, is to request Mor as your main contact. She is the best person I have worked with when dealing with contractors. She will treat your job as if it is her own home. The work was done as committed and on time. If I need future work done, I will definitely call Lumina builders first!! Highly recommend them!

Fantastic experience from start to finish! Our project involved two items (1) remove a large gas fireplace in a master bedroom upstairs in favor of expanding the size of an walk-in closet (2) build a partition wall in a large "bonus" room to separate the area and create a home gym/office room. We worked closely with Omri and David was his backup during Omri's time out of the country. The entire experience from start to finish was excellent. We obtained multiple quotes for the project and found Lumina Builders the most competitive in pricing and transparency what the project would involve. They said what they would do and they followed through and exceeded the timelines too! Omri remained in close contact with us and responded to all questions and requests quickly. The contractors that worked in our home were professional, friendly and very helpful. They went above and beyond the call of duty and even attended to extra projects. They put together the "barn door" for the newly created room and the dry wall specialist patched a small hole in wall in another room for no additional charge. In addition, David offered us (again free of charge) beautiful floor panels that were left over from another project and he had thought that they would look great in our newly created closet space. We could not be more happy and grateful for the excellent customer service and quality work that we have received from Lumina Builders. They will be our first choice for future projects (already in planning stages) and a high recommendation to our friends and family too. Special thank you to Omri and David!

From the initial estimate to the final product, Lumina proved to be an amazing company to work with. I had the privilege of having Ella and Nico as my contractors. From the initial meeting and estimate, both were the most professional and organized from the numerous contractors I met with throughout the San Diego area. They brought samples, previous reviews, proof of licenses, all organized professionally. Most other contractors just make scribbles and don't leave you with much after the first meeting. With their background as a designer and architect, they also were able to help me bridge the gap between my initial ideas and the final product. Most other contractors expect you to be there from the beginning. Watching HGTV doesn't make the average person a designer, and having their expertise helped elevate what could have been a pedestrian product into an amazing product. Once I chose Lumina, they helped simplify and reduce the stress of the decisions needed to be made. Remodeling a condo with an HOA is not an easy task. I forwarded the HOA requirements to Lumina, and they helped me fill out everything and ensured all the changes met all the building requirements. My application was approved without any issues. The extent to which Ella & Nico went above the minimum is worth noting. I did my remodel during the COVID-19 crisis. We never delayed once, and the contractors did a great job of pivoting and helping make quick decisions to keep things on track. They even helped with delivery and receiving of final products to help keep me safe. If we met, we always kept safe distances, avoided physical contact and used face masks. Many of the final products had to be purchased online due to the COVID-19 situation, and both did an outstanding job of helping me navigate online shopping and purchasing all the products needed. Constant communication is key with them. I never felt like I wasn't being heard and understood, and I was receiving constant updates via photos, videos, and live walk through via video chat. Ella & Nico's professionalism is their strongest quality. Being my first remodel, I probably was a demanding client, but they never wavered in professionalism and always kept a calm demeanor with me. Hiring a contractor was the most important part of my remodel, so stop searching, contact Lumina and ask for Ella & Nico. You won't regret it.

We recently had two bathrooms remodeled. Mor and her crew were fabulous. Mor actually shopped with me to help with the design. She was at our job every day -- definitely above and beyond anything I could have expected. They finished on schedule, and when some issues came up Mor made sure that everything was resolved quickly and satisfactorily. I'm delighted with the results and the cost, and won't hesitate to call on Mor when I decide to have more remodeling work done.

During this renovation period life is a mess. I am so happy my research on the different companies paid off. I took Lumina to redo my kitchen. It was old, didn't look good and was not in good shape. I was worried that it would be just a "plastic touch up" but they were great, strengthened, repaired and did not miss a detail. Their work was very clean and they were very considerate of my space. Most importantly the customer service was great and reliable. So happy to have chosen them. The kitchen looks great!!!!

Just completed a full condo remodel and I'm very happy to report that Lumina builders delivered everything they promised. My project was completed ahead of schedule in spite of unforeseen delays and a couple of additional changes. Special thanks to Ron, who was the project manager for my project. Ron was very accessible throughout the process, provided updates on a regular basis and was very patient with any questions along the way.

I worked with Alon to remodel my small condo bathroom, replacing a nasty old plastic prefabbed tub with a beautifully tiled custom shower. It was somewhat challenging to find people willing to take on such a small job, or to do so at a (by San Diego standards) reasonable price, but Lumina took it on and did so in under six weeks from start of work. There were some hiccups along the way, including some minor delays and a couple of minor fit-and finish issues with the work itself, but Alon either identified those errors himself, and promptly informed me of what delay they'd cause, or immediately rectified them when I noticed something myself. There's no such thing as a perfect contractor, but with Alon we had somebody who was straightforward and honest with us. The end result is a beautiful bathroom that we can look forward to using for many years to come.

It is such a pleasure to work with Lumina Builders, extremely profesional and their customer service is exceptional, I totally recommend their work.

We hired Lumina Builders to remodel our kitchen after we had a flood. We knew the minute we met Nico and Ella and they understood our thoughts that we were in great hands. We were not an easy client; we had done this in years past and wanted some very custom features that Ella and Nico didn't even blink when we asked for. The workmanship was amazing, with all the little attention to details you could ask for. You will be thrilled if you hire Lumina, the team is great, but I have to say Nico and Ella made our dreams come true!

OMGosh, I had the Absolute BEST EXPERIENCE with this Company, the Representative of whom was the Project Manager Yedidiah "DiDi"!! I want to add that in the last 7 years, this is Only the 4TH time I was Inspired Enough to Sit Down and Write a Review! What makes this experience stand out, is the Amazing Mix of the Warmest Personality, mixed with Incredible Knowledge. He demonstrated Creative Problem Solving, offering an idea the other two Specialities that have assed my problem had not come up with. I'm awaiting HOA approval to see if his idea is one I can Pursue!! I am a 1st time homeowner, purchasing a condo with a problem that was not disclosed to me, resulting in Water Pouring down from my CEILING! I had NO idea who to call. It turned out that it was the Piping in my wall, and while I had a recommendation for someone to fix the Piping issue, they don't do drywall or other repairs that will be necessary. I logged onto Yelp, and Lumina had Consistently Good Reviews, So I called, and I'm happy I did. It's Nerve Wracking having a Complete Stranger Enter your Home, Trusting in this person to not only work In Your Home, but trusting they will be Knowledgable, Skilled in their Trade, and also trust they are Honest and Reputable. I've heard of friends having Just AWFUL experiences with contractors of this kind, so they could only offer who NOT to use!:) I Now have A Recommendation to Give Others!!! And I Will!! Yedidiah was so Incredibly Helpful, genuinely Kind, I felt Immediately at Ease, and while I realize my project is a small one, He treated it with great respect and importance. I actually didn't even realize that your company has a Minimum, until I asked of the typical projects your company takes on. Oh My Gosh, He made my Small Project seem...Just as Important as an Entire Home Remodel!!:)) So while I've only received an estimate so far, and my project might be to small for this company, I Had Such a Great Experience, I Felt Compelled to Offer My Recommendation for those of you looking for a contractor. I believe Yedidia is a Representation for what this company stands for, which is Excellent Customer Service!! He offered NO Pressure, Just Great Ideas, insights and feedback. He also asked what my budget would be, and offered NO pressure to spend "more" or do "more" but Rather It was clear he wanted to deliver the best ideas with Reassurance he would remained in a price range I was comfortable with. So what I can tell others, with confidence, is that this is who I want doing my Home Improvement Projects!!!:)))

We recently moved to our house and noticed that there was a leak in the master bathroom shower. We called several contractors to get an assessment and price estimate and we decided to go with Lumina Builders Inc due to their great customer reviews. They were professional and easy to work with and did an outstanding job fixing our shower! I highly recommend them and would use them in future projects in the house.

We used Lumina Builders to create a 'fireplace wall' in our new home (stacked stone from floor to ceiling with electric fireplace inset below and inset for mounted TV above). We had a FANTASTIC experience and HIGHLY RECOMMEND using Lumina Builders. I showed Tamari a picture of what we envisioned and he mapped everything out with precise detail (including some design features that made it look even better than the picture I showed him). He made sure every tiny detail was taken care of. Lumina REALLY cares about their work product. When the foreman, Sean, was doing an inspection of the final product, he saw a detail that he didn't think was just perfect and insisted on having that piece re-done. They communicated well throughout the project and finished ahead of schedule. The end result is amazing - even better than we thought it would be! These guys really are pros - very knowledgeable, and incredibly nice to work with as well!! A+++++!

We had two major projects done on our house recently by Lumina Builders, one of which was a bathroom remodel and the other was to replace an outdated deck. Guy and his teams are superb contractors and craftsmen, who paid attention to every detail and offered wonderful creative advice as needed. Guy always made sure that we were aware of ways to save money, the most innovative materials and how to make each project look its best. He also kept us posted on scheduling and arrival of the building materials. We are very satisfied with the finished projects by Lumina Builders.

Fantastic experience with Lumina Builders. They were extremely professional and superlatively competent at every step of the process. We hired Lumina to do a mater bath remodel. Our project manager was Mor. She frequently checked in with us and addressed any concerns we had. She was a pleasure to work with, and she gave us great advise on the things we were unsure on. Can't say enough nice things about the crew who did the work. The foreman was Chase. He kept everything on track and correct. We had Kent for the tile work. Wow. This guy is amazing. Lumina gave us top notch service at a very competitive rate. Highly recommend.

Thank you Lumina Builders and your fantastic team for making our bathroom beautiful. Joey took us from design to the final product and we love how everything turned out. The team was on time, kept us in the loop at every stage, and made sure that every detail of the development was to our satisfaction. Thank you thank you thank you.

From beginning to end, it was an absolute pleasure working with Mor and Lumina Builders for our bathroom remodel!! Ross and entire crew were professional, friendly and the workmanship was impeccable. Mor was especially helpful in her communication and assistance with all the design and coordination of the project!!

You can't do any better than Lumina. I've had 3 different contractors rated from -5 to +4 and now Lumina at a solid +5. David the owner came over to look at the deck rebuild we wanted to do. In July, another of his people had quoted us a price and he wanted to verify what was to be done. He agreed to the earlier price and work started the next day. There was no upselling or push to make expensive changes. And their estimate was the best of the 4 we received. All the others are also highly rated on Yelp. The crew of Pilo- hope I spelled that right- and his son Jesus, were great. They demo-ed and removed the old deck. When the new deck material arrived, went right to work. Did an fantastic job and we couldn't be more pleased. Their attention to detail was outstanding. We had a small design change from the style of the previous benches and they went right at it and the new style couldn't look better. My wife is just enthralled with them. I think they're great too... David came by every morning to check on the previous day's progress. He also made a point of informing me of what was happening. They ended up under budget and completed the job in less time than planned even with the changes. We're planning on selling in a year or so and David will be the first we call for the little tweaks that we want to do before putting the house on the market. You can't go wrong with David and Lumina. We STRONGLY recommend them for any of your remodeling needs.

Lumina completed a whole house reno, and it is absolutely stunning. Amazing. But here's the real reason for a five-star. They didn't disappear after the project was over. There was a rather large issue that came up (unforeseen/unanticipated during the reno) but David stood behind Lumina's work and corrected it - even going out of his way to find the original material that was discontinued. This level of commitment is very hard to find in a builder. Highly recommend!

Lumina builders helped us out 4 years after our job was completed. They adjusted some flooring that had shifted over time at no charge. They also offered to correct some pealing that happened in a tub that had been resurfaced. Thank you Lumina for going above and beyond!

We wanted to remodel the whole house as an investment. We checked a bunch of companies out online and called Lumina Builders. We have an older house that needs a lot of updating just to keep up with real estate values. He (Tamari) showed us how we could get the biggest resale return for our remodeling projects. Lumina Builders takes the time to understand what you really want. He steered us away from a couple of remodeling options that would have been great if we planned on keeping the place. Tamari's crew really did a great job. His supervisor is dynamite. Lumina Builders are a really knowledgeable company. Even better, they know how to finish on time and on the budget. We recommend Tamari and Lumina Builders highly!- Tim

Thank you Lumina Builders! We have a beautiful new bathroom. Guy Madar is the best! He communicated daily and was very responsive to our concerns. He has a great eye for design and we are more than pleased with the outcome!

I recently worked with Lumina to have my bathroom remodeled. I'd say the after pictures speak for themselves. Omer, our project manager, was friendly and helpful throughout the duration of the project. He is incredibly prompt in answering questions, and makes the process as painless as possible with his insights and knowledge. I never felt overwhelmed or in the dark about anything. Basically, you buy the hardware/tiles/plumbing/lighting etc, and they take care of the rest. It's that easy. Shout out to Jason (contractor) and his assistant for absolutely kicking butt in getting this project done in a timely manner despite some plumbing setbacks (broken toilet, wrong rough-in size, and pipes that needed to be repositioned for the vanity.) Their work is quality, and I've gotten nothing but compliments on this transformation. For those of you aren't lucky enough to have an architect or contractor/construction manager in the family, I would recommend working with a designer or someone who has construction experience. There are certain issues/questions that may arise that someone without construction knowledge may not be able to easily answer or navigate. You simply can't beat Lumina's timelines and expertise in remodeling. From start to finish, they are professional and prompt. If a quality remodel is ultimately your goal, then there's no reason to look anywhere else.

We have our dream kitchen thanks to Lumina! David was so helpful and receptive in scoping the project and helping us understand the process. Our project manager Omer was awesome to work with -- he was on site making sure everything was done efficiently and managing snags as they came up. We came with plans in hand, but of course everything changed as construction started (old house with plenty of surprises) and the Lumina team helped us modify as we went. It turned out beyond our expectations. Highly recommend Lumina!

We used Lumina for a whole house remodel in San Diego. We couldn't be happier with the house. We used Joey as our project manager from start to finish and he was super attentive and available throughout the process. We were ultimately on schedule and on budget. Our schedule was tight, as we had an infant and wanted to move things along quickly. We even took 2 long vacations during the remodel and Joey was able to keep things moving along while we were gone. Any issues that came up along the way were always addressed and remedied. Lumina is looking to sustain relationships with customers and it shows.

Alon (project manager) and his team were incredible. They took our tiny kitchen, cramped dining room, and cut off living room and turned it into a beautiful open concept living area. They also did a great job updating the exterior and adding a laundry room for us. Alon and Lumina did a great job keeping us informed with progress and incorporating minor (and some not so minor) changes we needed along the way. Their initial bid for the project was EXTREMELY competitive with other quotes we’d been given. With the quality of work we saw, there’s no question we made the right decision. We had some issues with subcontractor delays, but Lumina was great. When it’s time for phase 2, we’ll be calling Lumina and Alon. 5 out 5, would recommend.

Alon and Dor came for an initial consult (master bedroom build, insulation, plus installation of ceiling, sliding door, recess lighting, a/c)--we had a rough idea of what we wanted to do but needed a lot of help to figure out what was possible and what would make the most sense. They gave us some really good recommendations and a clear plan of attack. They were also very clear about the schedule of payments and the work to be completed, so we weren't blindsided by any huge costs. Once the work started, Dor was very communicative throughout the entire process and responded quickly whenever we had questions or things to change. The work was completed very quickly (on the shorter end of what they originally estimated), and we're very happy with the final product. Will definitely be using Lumina again for our next project and highly recommend them.

Lumina Builders did an excellent job on our bathroom remodel. Shon, our project manager was great at communicating. I appreciated that he let us know if the crew was going to be late or absent due to unforeseen emergencies. The crew was very professional, organized and efficient. They did a great job of cleaning up every day. Thanks to Shon, we had no issues or problems.

We recently finished a pretty extensive remodel in our house under the guidance of Nico and Ella as project managers. It included a complete kitchen remodel involving the removal of two walls, the addition of french doors with sidelights, flooring, paint, bar area, vanity in the guest bathroom and an outdoor deck. I wish I had before pictures to show the amazing transformation Nico and Ella were able to attain with our floorplan. Let me tell you, we have spent 4 straight weeks at home with two kids during the Coronavirus Lockdown and we are so incredibly grateful to LOVE our house and the changes made to it! Throughout this entire process, Nico and Ella made it fun and as stress-free as could be. The crews coming in and out of our house were always very kind, respectful and hard working. Ella accompanied us on all our shopping trips to give advice on the different parts of decision making. She and Nico helped my husband and I merge our visions and turned it into something we both absolutely love! Their "concierge service" and super fun personalities made it so we actually enjoyed the remodel. In fact, when I would tell people about our project, inevitably I would hear about their terrible experiences. I always thought, "That's because they didn't get to work with Nico and Ella,". We had so much fun that we feel like we're walking away with two new friends in addition to an awesome remodel. We will definitely be calling Nico and Ella again when we are ready for our bathroom remodel!

We can not be more happy with our garage to ADU renovation and living room expansion. Our project manager Ron Gauzner exceeded all of our expectations!! He was so professional, creative, design forward and communicative. I could not recommend Lumina and Ron more highly. We chose Lumina Builders after another contractor became ill and could not start the project. Lumina had to save us from an architectural design flaw and worked tirelessly with the original architect who needed frequent coaching from Ron's team. Needless to say, Ron guided us through this project and delivered beyond our expectations. Our family loves our new home! We will only use Lumina Builders for our future projects.

Ella was my project manager and she was fabulous! As a designer, I really felt that she guided my design choices to something I would really like and would meet my vision, instead of what just choosing a style that suits her. She pairs beautifully with her husband, Nico, who is an architect. Between the two, they were a perfect pair of aesthetic and architectural design. They let me change the design of my walk-in shower, the morning it was supposed to be framed! They are extremely reachable and easy to contact and addressed all my concerns. Their team was great and flexible and do great work. The result is a master bathroom that belongs on my Pinterest board!

We just finished our kitchen remodel with Lumina and are very happy with the results. Our project came in on budget and within the completion time frame that we were given. Daniel D. was our project manager as was a pleasure to work with! He and his crew were very skilled, professional, and competent. They were responsive to our requests or changes and offered suggestions and options that helped us make the final product the best it could be. Daniel and his crew made the remodel process as stress free as possible, and we would highly recommend Daniel and Lumina!

I hired Lumina Builders to add a room to my house. I knew from the beginning that the project was very complicated because of the braining was they need to remove and the structural work involved. Because of the value of our house, we wanted a perfect job. The project Manager, Umri and the owner David ran the project very smooth. Everything was done exactly as we wanted it. Their subcontractors were very accommodation and always wanted to make sure everything is perfect. What I liked about the company is the great attention to details and QUALITY. I recommend this company for any project if you really want quality work.

We had a project that was very time-sensitive: converting the garage into a family room before our 2nd baby was born (and then we won't have time for anything ;-p). We looked at a couple companies and decided to go with Lumina because of their outstanding reviews and because of how confident we were in Oded our Project Manager. He promised to have the job done on time, on budget, and with high-quality work. Boy did he deliver - the team worked overtime to make it happen. Faruk our foreman and the rest of the team was here from dawn to dusk and even on weekends, and as a result we were done weeks before the due date. Everyone was pleasant and respectful of our space, and took care to treat it like their own house. The work was outstanding quality, and we are absolutely thrilled with our new family room. All for a completely reasonable price point. We would definitely use Lumina again for another project and recommend them without reservation. Thanks Oded, Faruk, Santiago, and all the rest of the team!

Insulation installed

We are very happy with the quality of the work done on our remodel which included the kitchen, laundry room, living room, office and fitness room. The Lumina project manager, Tal Borin, was very professional and responsive. He also brought many great ideas to project which improved the outcome in many areas.

We hired Lumina Builders to remodel two of our three bathrooms and to update the shower in our master bath. Our project manager, Tal, guided us through the entire project from design, demo, build out, to final walk through. He provided creative ideas that elevated the look and functionality of the bathrooms. His crew was stellar in every way. They were always punctual and professional. Tal was very prompt in responding to all communications. On top of this, the job site was cleaned up every day. The job was completed in the time frame given. Thank you, Tal, and Lumina Builders for our beautiful new bathrooms. We will recommend you to our friends and will see you in our future projects.

I am súper grateful for lumina builders insane work that that was done for me in my beautiful city San Diego. Their prices suit for all budgets! They are trusted professionals that offered instant quotes! My kitchen and 2 bathrooms look beautiful as ever!!! I had a wonderful experience working with David. Great listener and very kind. I highly recommend this company to anyone needing anything done in their home!

Guy, Amir, Alphonso et all at Lumina Builders did a great job adding a beautiful tiled shower to a small 1/2 bath making this a full fledged 2 bath home. The project was somewhat involved requiring #1. HOA Approval. #2. Architectural plans. #3. City of Chula Vista architectural plan approval. #4. City of Chula Vista permit issuance. All this prior to beginning the project. Guy was my project manager and very aware of this and a stickler for the administrative details. I would like to mention that after my permitting was approved by the city, Guy quickly caught something in the plans that he thought could be a problem. He insisted the architect re-contact the city and get a "green light" on this aspect so there would be no problems during the inspection. I was impressed and grateful as this could have been a BIG problem with the budget. Guy was easily available via text so communication was easy. Inspection from the City was handled by Guy and went smoothly. The quality of tile work is top notch.(Thanks Alphonso!) Everyone I encountered was courteous, professional and cleaned up their job site. I felt comfortable not being home. Amir acted as a "lead" for Guy and did a great job. The project started on time and the quoted cost for the project was maintained. I would recommend Lumina Builders to anyone.

Lumina builders is highly recommended, and very knowledgeable. Quick response and awesome customer service.!

We just finished having our kitchen remodeled by Lumina Construction. Do not hesitate to use them! I was very concerned about getting an honest competent contractor. We interviewed several companies but felt comfortable with Lumina immediately. Now we have a small kitchen and that went for our budget too. However, we were always treated as if we were the only and the largest project they had. David was our main contact and he coordinated everything until his first baby was born. (Congrats!) During this time Tamari stepped in and our project was seamless. Everyone who worked on our kitchen was top notch, especially Angle. He is a perfectionist with hanging the cabinets, and was so persoable it was as if he was part of the family. Everyone was courteous and respectful. This company is honest! When reviewing our contract for the final payment, Tamari noticed an error in our math, which would have cost us extra money. He pointed this out right away, recalculated the correct amount. We are thinking of redoing our master bath, we will be calling Lumina with no hesitation.

I needed to add more room in my garage so I called Lumina Builders since their reviews are so good. Omri was set up as my project manager, when he came over to assess the project he was very informative. He went over the entire process of the project. After having many contractors come look at the vision I had for my project I had to sign with Omri and Lumina Builders. Lumina built a 125 sq ft room attached to my garage in about 2 months. During the entire process Omri kept me updated on what they were working on and any issues that arise. I am so thankful I had Lumina Builders do this project and will be contacting soon to remodel my kitchen and bathroom.

We did a fairly major renovation after a pipe burst, and really enjoyed working with Joey from Lumina Builders..........great guy who really cares about his clients, and that they get the best bang for the buck with their home improvement budget. He had great ideas on how to make our concepts into reality, and finished the job on time and on budget. We're very happy with the results, and glad that Joey led the project.

We contracted Lumina to convert one very large bedroom into two rooms and to install hardwood flooring throughout the home. Lumina worked with us to get the materials ordered and delivered in time to support our time schedule. Working with the material provider (Carpeteria on Miramar) was seamless. The project manager (Shon) kept us informed of all plans and schedules and he stopped by every day to check on progress. If the workers had any delays he informed us promptly that morning. The work force was very professional, Alberto and his team did excellent quality work. The flooring contractor was on-time each day and put in full work days without interruption. This is a very big difference from other contractors we worked with who always needed to run somewhere for part of the day. All workers maintained a clean workspace and took great care to protect our home and furniture. We had to move furniture during the work and while we did 90 percent ourselves the flooring crew gladly helped us with the heavier pieces. Each day our home was left clean with no residual debris. We have used four different contractors for work over the last 21 years and Lumina was bar far the best to work with and they did the best quality work.

I unfortunately experienced a slow leak behind my fridge, which required gutting all of the interior walls and damaged my kitchen cabinets. After remediation, I talked to a bunch of remodelers (both independent GCs and design+build firms) to try and get everything rebuilt as soon as possible. A friend recommended Lumina Builders to me, and originally, I was leaning toward another remodeling company, but then I got to meet Alon. Talking with Alon, I quickly realized that we would work well together, and his easy-going demeanor meant I would feel comfortable giving him open feedback and raising concerns, should any arise. With the other company, I wasn't able to talk to the person who would be my project manager, and if we ended up not being able to communicate well, the project could've become a major headache. Because this was an unplanned remodel, I had to put together plans and a design quickly. Alon was able to show me examples of products in their showroom, and also came with me to a tile showroom to look at options. He never pressured me to go one way or another, but instead offered helpful insight and advice. Lumina Builders was by no means my least expensive quote, but I decided having a good rapport with the project manager would make up for the difference. We've all heard our fair share of horror stories with contractors, and having someone I could openly communicate with to handle the challenges and take care of set backs was key. The subcontractor on my project ended up being very challenging to work with, and he took a bunch of unfortunate shortcuts, but Alon made sure to find another sub to fix everything. Obviously, it would've been better for it to have been done right the first time, but you take a gamble with contractors, and the difference here is Alon took care of it, instead of me having to start another search again. That, to me, is the biggest differentiator in working with Lumina and Alon. Some general tips I've learned: - Make sure your contractor actually puts up containment before beginning anything else. Mine said he was going to buy some plastic sheeting, so we left him to do his thing, and I came back to NO containment AT ALL, everything demo'd and dust in every crevice imaginable, all over the house and exposed furniture - including air ducts. When he finally put up some sheeting, it was the cheapest, thinnest plastic imaginable. There's no way to avoid some construction dust, but there are definitely ways to mitigate it, especially if you're living there while construction is happening. - Make sure they also protect the floor, if you aren't redoing the floor, before beginning anything. - Avoid Waypoint semi-custom shaker cabinets if your budget allows it, especially if you have a very active family. I don't know if it's quality degradation (still) because of "covid manufacturing issues," but the painted ones come dinged up, with a very thin layer of paint, and I don't feel like they'll hold up as well as my 20+ year builder-grade cabinets that came with the house. So far we've gotten replacements from Waypoint under warranty, but it's annoying and adds unforeseen delays to your project. Regardless, if you're looking for a design & build firm, I highly recommend working with Alon at Lumina Builders. He'll take care of you and help you bring your vision to life. Looking forward to working together on my bathrooms later this year!

With a move planned to Pacific Beach, we decided to renovate our existing rental town home -- kitchen, baths -- to full time retirement living. We found Lumina via Yelp and I have to say that the experience has been every bit as good as the reviews here would indicate. The interaction with Tamari has been great as we worked together to plan our project from start to finish. He has provided excellent input and the professionalism and attention to detail is top notch. Lumina offers a variety of quality options depending on your pocketbook, from cabinetry to tile. We highly recommend talking with Lumina to anyone planning a home renovation project. Quality workmanship, follow through, accuracy and customer service are critical in a contractor. You will find all at Lumina.

The team from Lumina Builders remodeled a bedroom, bathroom, and kitchenette, all in the space of a few weeks! The Project Manager, Tal, was awesome to work with. Communication and updates were great, I was highly confident in the entire process.

Lumina left a lasting impression on me on what quality service and expertise really means. We moved into our new house about a year ago and had several projects that needed to get done - new kitchen, separating out a bedroom, filling in an atrium for my home office, adding walls in to close off master bath, etc. Not sure how we got SO lucky to have Omri show up to provide the estimate and be our project manager. From the time he stepped foot in our home, he was so kind, professional and extremely detail oriented. He quickly became not only the guy who managed our project on a day to day basis, but a friend as well. The patience and understanding he showed with me as well, while I took time on a few items to make sure they were just right was incredible. He was also a perfectionist and made sure when the job was done that everything was perfect and that we were happy. A year has past, and even to this day, he still will randomly give us a call to see how we are doing and that we are still happy with their work. I highly recommend Lumina builders, especially Omri and his team of workers!!!

Lumina builders did a fabulous job on our master bathroom as you can see by these photos. Omri Motale was wonderful as a project manager. He was always coming by to insure everything went well. He worked closely with us to make sure the design was exactly what we wanted. Omri is highly knowledgeable about all aspects of bathroom remodeling. I would use this company again in a heartbeat.

We are very happy with the quality of the work done on our remodel which included the kitchen, laundry room, living room, office and fitness room. The Lumina project manager, Tal Borin, was very professional and responsive. He also brought many great ideas to project which improved the outcome in many areas.

We undertook a major renovation of a house we have had for a while. This involved stripping the house down to the base and doing a full remodel. We had the added challenge of being based in the UK, so it was going to be challenging dealing with different time zones. I have to say working with Ron has been the best experience I have ever had with contractors. He was in constant communication with me throughout the remodel, stuck within budget and was flexible to help when I was not able to pay directly for items due to international boundary issues. It was not a straightforward renovation either and yet he made it seem a much easier renovation than expected. You really do get a truly personalised service and I will be more than happy to recommend Ron and Lumina on to others.

My mother was moving into her rental home as the permanent tenant. The home had aged and was NOT the home she wanted to reoccupy in its current condition. As her eldest daughter and caregiver, it was up to me to locate a builder. After meeting with 3 well known San Diego builders, my mother, my sister and myself decided on Lumina and oh how pleased! I cannot describe how at ease I felt on our 1st meeting with our Project Manager, Ella & Nico. Ella and I sat and discussed my elderly mothers needs for her home for over 2 hours. The conversation was as if we were "family" and I knew we were in food hands. From the very beginning Ella & Nico explained each step and allowed us to "bug" them about every concern. This remodel was not my parents 1st. It was their 3rd, yet my stepdad was always in charge. He passed away in 2016, yet he would have been so proud of the results. When I say the house is PERFECT...I am saying it from the heart. My mom is so pleased and we feel at ease. If anyone wants to contact me or stop by to see the house Lumina Builders turned into a HOME, please contact them to set up a visit. We have another project in the future and you know who we're going to call. THANK YOU for providing Ella & Nico to design my mom's new home.

Yelpers did it again. Lumina embodies 5 stars. We're glad we found this company through Yelp. We remodeled our kitchen, master bath, entryway and two guest bathrooms (counter tops, flooring, master shower, lighting, stove, range hood, sinks, faucets). Mor was our project manager. She really did listen to our concerns and addressed any issues that we had. She was always available to us when we needed her. My wife and I are very clean. Mor ensured that everything was covered and protected (carpet, wood floors). Alder and Sarafin (the dream team) made zipper walls to contain the dust the best they could. They cleaned up their workspace every day (swept floor, vacuumed). They respected our home. They even cleaned our window screens after they were done. Alder and Sarafin were like clockwork, arrived at 8:00am everyday. Alder explained what they were going to do every day and always asked us if we had any issues or concerns from the previous day's work. Alder always remembered the requests we had no matter how detailed it was. Alder and Sarafin take pride in what they do, which is evident in their work. To us, they are skilled artists. From the tile work on our floors, to the back splash in our kitchen...everything is amazing. They really exceeded our expectations.
