Make Your Dream Home Come True

We worked with Lumina Builders for a complete remodel of our two bathrooms, which were damaged due to a flood. Our neighbor highly recommended Mr. David Lupu and his company, Lumina, and he provided us with the best estimate. He guided us through the entire process, demonstrating excellent attention to detail, professionalism, problem-solving skills, reliability, and guidance at every step. David and his crew were incredible. All of the Lumina workers were very attentive, polite, and friendly. It was a fantastic experience working with all of them. The two bathrooms turned out beautifully, and the quality of craftsmanship was exceptional. We highly recommend Lumina and plan to use them again for our home improvement needs. Thank you, David, for providing us with such an awesome experience. The Braga family

Lumina builders inc have many great attributes from their quality workmanship, timeliness and project management. I had Lumina builders inc remodel my kitchen and bathroom. Cabinets, faucets, new paint everything was done at top-level quality and very professional. Tamari and David are a pleasure to work with. From the designing to completion, they were available to answer all my questions. These guys really do care about their customers. I will definitely be referring friends to Lumina builders inc.

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 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.

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.

Beautiful full house remodel! Tal was commutative and always available. We are very pleased with the end product!

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!

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!

My wife and are pretty picky when it comes to remodeling therefore it took us a long time to make a final decision on which one of the many contractors that we interviewed would be able to remodel our house to our vision and David really stand out. We think he is the best choice and we strongly recommend him.

me and my husband In search of a contractorfor my complete kitchen and bath remodeling I asked everyone I knew for references and not a single person would recommend the contractor they'd used. I turned to Yelp and lumina builders inc was there. about the process. it was painless, the end result was beautiful. david is generous with his time even before on-site work begins, planning the project and laying the foundation for success. David and his equally experienced and skilled crew take pride in their craftsmanship and it shows in the finished product. The inevitable bumps along the way are handled promptly and without complaint. When I pointed out some minor thing that wasn't quite as expected, but that only I would notice so I could live with it, david's response was, "You don't have to live with it. It has to be right." Communication: phone, text, or email is a breeze. Pricing is fair and comprehensive. The entire crew is pleasant, respectful, responsive, and trustworthy. It was a pleasure to work with such a dedicated, professional group. I will call them again when it's time to make the rest of my apartment look as good as my kitchen and bath now do, and I recommend them without hesitation. Thanks david and not to forget Tamari for the brilliant design.

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.

We had a great experience with Lumina to expand and remodel our master bathroom. We had a vision for what we wanted, and our project manager (Daniel D.) immediately understood it and gave us a fair quote to accomplish it with no sales pitch or pressure. Because of this they were clearly the best choice out of the five total quotes we got. In preparation for the project start date, Daniel put together a nice google spreadsheet of all the things we needed to purchase and was helpful in providing advice. When the project started, everything moved along super quickly. All of the in-house crew and subcontractors were scheduled perfectly and did great work, especially with the tile. There was not one idle day and about 95% of all the work was completed ahead of schedule in 3 weeks! We were super happy with the end result and Daniel & crew were responsive to any small changes we requested with the finishing touches.

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

With help from Ella and Nico, we transformed our 1980s kitchen and living room into a beautiful space. This was our first remodel project, but the entire process went smoothly, and the end result is even more beautiful than expected! My husband and I decided to choose Lumina Builders because during our initial consultation, Ella and Nico were very knowledgeable and genuine. They walked us through every step of the remodel process and made sure to address all the concerns we had. Ella was very transparent about the estimated cost and helped us explore more affordable alternatives that saved us some money. Initially we had a hard time finalizing our design, but Ella was very patient and explored many different options with us. We trusted Ella 100% with the design, and we are so glad that we did. She understood exactly what we wanted. Nico created an impressive 3D drawing of our kitchen and living room before construction, which helped us tremendously with furniture shopping. He also provided valuable insights into the architectural feasibility of our proposed changes. Ella and Nico maintained great communication with us and were very responsive. We felt very comfortable expressing any concerns we had as the project progressed and we received timely updates throughout. Ella and her team went above and beyond to accommodate our last minute requests. Our new cabinets, pantry, recessed lights, countertops, backsplash, fireplace, flooring and more are all of excellent quality and competitive price. We love our new place, and we are looking forward to a future bathroom remodel project with Ella and Nico. We highly recommend them!

I had such a good experience working with them! David from Lumina Builders is so professional and I highly recommend working with him! Everything was done on time and in perfect order and quality. He walked us through every step of our renovation and was there to answer any questions or give a solution through the proses. Highly recommend!

Lumina Builders has handled our home improvements, demolition, and installation of a kitchen and a variety of other projects for me since 2010. Guy and his crew have always been on-time; professional and hardworking while doing quality work in a timely manner. Guy, our project manager has worked with us to provide suggestions and the best solutions so that our home improvement project runs smoothly. Additionally, if there happens to be an issue because of other vendors, they will happily take care of it without making a big deal about it. An example with my kitchen island, the granite cut was too short. The contractors from Lumina Builders sanded down the island end-cap to make certain it would fit properly. From taking care of drywall to full-scale remodeling, Lumina Builders will deliver the absolute best value for your budget.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Lumina Builders for a complete home remodel, and I cannot express how thrilled I am with the results! The craftsmanship is top-notch! Every detail was meticulously handled, and it’s clear that they take great pride in their work. Throughout the project, I was kept in the loop with regular updates. My project manager, Ron, was always available to answer my questions and address any concerns, which made the process much smoother. I was impressed with how efficiently the team worked. They completed the project ahead of schedule without compromising quality, which is a rarity in the remodeling industry. I highly recommend Lumina Builders to anyone looking for reliable and high-quality remodeling services. They truly transformed my space, and I couldn’t be happier!

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!

Ron G and Lumina Builders go above and beyond. This was my first home remodeling, and I was extremely hesitant and particular about which contractor to use. After hearing so many horror stories, I knew that an honest, thorough, competent contractor was my highest priority. Ron G met all my expectations and more. He was incredibly helpful, timely, and communicative. He helped us stay within our budget and build a beautiful bathroom, closets, and outdoor space that our family will enjoy for years to come. Thank you Lumina!

Ella and Nico helped make my dream bathroom come to life! Lumina took my tiny, dated 1978 master bath and transformed it into a sanctuary. This was my major contractor renovation experience. I was apprehensive based on the horror stories I've heard about contract jobs. I did not have any of those problems with this project. Ella, my project manager, explained the paperwork, what to expect, and broke down the costs upfront. I knew what I had to pay for and when, no surprises. Ella and Nico really understood what I wanted, and worked with me on making it happen. Ella really "got" me; together we created a beautiful, spa-like space. Jose and his team of workers were courteous and diligent and the job was finished on time. I had a great experience with Lumina. I will definitely call them when I'm ready to start my kitchen renovation.

I made an appointment to get an estimate for some remodeling that I needed done. After meeting David, I was amazed at the customer service he provided. He was super knowledgeable and very curteous. All my questions were answered and I feel ready to take the next step to complete my remodel. Thank you David for making me feel secure about my remodel with your company!

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!

It was time to remodel our 20 year old, builder grade bathroom and we found Lumina to make it happen. Oded was our project manager and was super helpful with guiding our design decisions and keeping everything on track. We're thrilled with how it turned out.

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!

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!

I was very pleased with the work done on my new house. My new floors look amazing and everyone who sees them rave about how they look!! They are very professional and did quality work. They finished the work on time and left everything super clean. Thank you so much Lumina Builders for making my house look so wonderful!!!

Exactly two years again, Ella and Nico remodeled our bathroom. We were extremely happy with the outcome. We love our bathroom as much today as we did then. They make a great team and it is such a pleasure to work with them. Fast forward, October 2020 they just completed the remodel of our kitchen. Another job well done. Because we were so pleased with our bathroom we didn't bother to get additional estimates for the kitchen remodel. We knew we wanted to work with them again. They presented us with several different designs. Once the design was decided on, we were able to incorporate an idea from my husband as well. Ella shopped with me every step of the way on all of the major materials. I never felt rushed or that I had to make a decision before I was really comfortable. When the time came to install the backsplash I was extremely concerned. Ella drew the pattern out on paper to make sure we agreed on where each tile would be placed. She was here when the workers started to make sure all the details were discussed and all questions answered. Only when I was completely comfortable did she leave. She kept in constant contact with the workers. Also, she told me to phone her if I had any concerns. With an additional suggestion from Nico, the backsplash is amazing. It turned out much better than we expected. We are completely satisfied with the outcome. Thanks Ella and Nico, a job well done.

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.

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!

This review will be a little different since its been 2 years since the project was completed. That is plenty of time to ensure the quality of the work will stand the test of time. We were referred to Lumina (Ron) by my wife's brother who had a master bath remodel completed by Lumina. We needed a complete redo of an older patio home we purchased in Oceanside. Kitchen and bathrooms taken to the studs, several wall and door modifications, all new cabinets in kitchen and baths, new flooring, painting etc. A big job Ron made the whole process very easy by making sure we knew exactly what our cost would be - and exactly what we were responsible to pick out and purchase - Lumina install. It made figuring out the budget very easy. The quote was so thorough that our total cost was extremely close to the contracted price - only a few small change orders that we requested. The quality of the cabinets (Lumina builds cabinets) are outstanding and we still love them 2 years in. We were living out of state when the project commenced with a couple visits mid construction. Ron was very accommodating with our travel schedule and kept us informed via text/facetime/email as needed. All of the Lumina workers we encountered were professional, neat, and detail oriented. So to summarize, Lumina and our project manager Ron were - on budget, on time, high quality, and a pleasure to deal with. Thanks to Lumina for 2 years and counting of our wonderful new home!

I rarely write an evaluation, however because I located Lumina Builders on Yelp and also called them due to their outstanding reviews, I desired to share my very own experience also to assist somebody else seeking the most effective! When you are wanting to do a restoration - it's hard to understand that to count on and who will certainly exceed your expectations. I went via 3 various layout assessments prior to I called Lumina. Meet Ella, "Project Supervisor Extraordinaire"... Within 5 mins of her strolling via my residence, browsing a few pinterest photos of the direction I wanted to go, and also discussing budgets - I knew I had found "my individual". Ella has a gift! She swiftly finds out your vision, and confidently draws it all together for you perfectly. This is her genius in life. She is that great. As a project supervisor - allow's simply state she is ON IT. She runs a really efficient organization, and also is always one telephone call a means from taking care of whatever needs to be taken care of. I really did not have to stress over ANYTHING. Nico,"The Designer" is the best companion with Ella. Between both of them - they figured every aspect of the remodel. Not just dazzling himself - but simply as authentic and genuine as Ella. Now for their group: Benny, Diego, Moses, Jose, and all the others ... Each of them is professional, considerate, considerate, and trustworthy. I love that Ella and also Nico have their "own" team they function with. It was like clockwork to watch the process unfold. I fit with every person that entered our home, as well as they all tidied up after the job as if the job and disorder had never occurred. They stayed late, functioned weekend breaks if required, also a holiday to finish the task in a timely manner. This is a difficult working, concentrated, and devoted team. And, YES ... the project was finished promptly AND on spending plan. The end result is a home we have actually loved once again. Although a remodel is anything yet enjoyable, the process wasn't as challenging as it can have been because of the expertise and execution on their entire group. I very as well as confidently suggest Ella and also Nico. If you require aid with your vision, style, or just to execute a remodel - these are your people. Look no more, they will not dissatisfy!

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!

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.

Ella and Nico were great. Clearly experienced, they helped us maximize our budget with a clear vision. They had the plan laid out at the beginning, answered our questions along the way, and stayed as flexible as possible. They're also very personable. It's neat watching them play off of each other's strengths. It almost sounds like a married couple bickering, buy really they're polishing of the best design for you. It was like being on an HGTV sure, and or backyard looked flawless at the end of it all.

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.

David and his team completed a kitchen cabinet installation and the quality and responsiveness of his team was impressive. They arrived early, asked questions, did a thorough job in a very reasonable amount of time. They cleaned up and left the space so much better than when they arrived! Highly recommend.

We have been in our house for a little over seven years and being a 22-year-old house, it comes with some issues, maintenance, and definitely needs updates. Didi, the project manager has been able to bring us his creativity, expertise and overall vision to help us get our family room updated. He could completely remodel and update our family room with custom made wood trimming, paint and an area we wanted tiled! Didi and his crew have been extremely trustworthy, kept us in the loop of what was taking place, competitive in pricing and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend Lumina Builders to anyone who needs anything done in their home! You will not be disappointed the overall craftsmanship or professionalism of the company.

We were very, very happy with our experience with Lumina. Our project was managed by Omri; we added on one bathroom and renovated a second bathroom. The initial quote & contract was easy to understand. They took care of all the permitting and got it done quickly so we could start work fast. We had a general design in mind, but Omri helped a lot in filling in the details. It was helpful to look through some of their previous projects for ideas and extra things to consider. He worked with us on a materials list, and double-checked our choices to make sure it would all work together--there were no issues, it all turned out great! He was also there at our side for some of the key decisions, like ordering tile. Once the real work began, the crew was very polite and respectful. They kept the dust isolated to the work area, cleaned up at the end of each day, and put up with our dog. They found a couple of surprises during the demo, but always had a solution and kept things on schedule. They kept us informed about what subcontractors would be coming by what days, and were generally very transparent and up-front about the whole process. In the end, the cost was exactly what was quoted, plus a couple optional work items we added on during the construction. The bathrooms turned out fantastic--they're exactly what we envisioned and planned out at the beginning. It has been about 5 months since the project ended, and we haven't had any issues with the work. I'm confident that Omri and crew would quickly come by to look into it if we did have a problem though. The next time we have a big renovation job, we'd be happy to hire Lumina and Omri again.

We worked with Lumina Builders for a complete remodel of our kitchen, master bath, my daughter's bathroom and our laundry room - as well as an adding on a brand new office to our home - and - new flooring throughout the whole house. It was an amazing and wonderful experience! Ron G. managed the entire process and he was just fabulous!! The attention to detail, professionalism, problem-solving, reliability, industry knowledge and contacts, guidance at every step - Ron was incredible, he made this experience enjoyable! He kept everyone on task and on schedule; he came up with solutions when we hit any kind of construction road-block. Ron even provided helpful tools to track project expenses and our budget. We have done other remodels on our home - this was by far the very best experience we have had! I would recommend Lumina Builders without hesitation. Thank you Ron and team!! --

Wow! Wow! Wow! My place is unbelievably beautiful . In the past I have had nothing but headaches from builders . I am so happy with Lumina's work . Aside from completing the projects to my specifications, I worked directly with a woman named Petra. She took the time to get to know me and help me with aesthetic decisions . She was truly patient with me and deserves an award! I redesigned the bathroom and the kitchen. My experience was a good price and unbeatable customer service . I am looking forward to future projects with Lumina Builders. The are professional , timely , and do beautiful work. I have nothing but good words for this company. If you are renovating , give them a call and ask for Petra. She helped me so much!

Lumina Builders has my unqualified endorsement, as they transformed our never-been-updated 1957 kitchen and bathrooms into gorgeous, functional, light-filled spaces. Now I'm pleased and amazed each time I walk into one of the rooms. Every part of the process, from design to completion, went smoothly. Tamari used my style and color preferences and wish list to develop design plans that looked absolutely stunning in the 3D computer images, so we signed a contract the next day. He made it easy to select countertops, tile, flooring, fixtures, and appliances by shopping with me and steering me to choices he thought I'd like and that would make the rooms look perfect. Plus, he was always available to discuss the progress of the work or answer any questions we had. He'd come early each morning and then was also available by phone or text 24/7. And true to his word, Tamari made certain we were both satisfied with every detail upon completion. Since I tend to be a perfectionist, I was thrilled to work with a contractor who shared my idea of a job well done. The project was completed a week early and did not exceed the contracted price by even a cent. Again, Lumina Builders has my unqualified endorsement.

We had a great experience with Lumina Builders. We hired them to do a full exterior remodel (roof, stucco, insulation) and an electrical re-wire. They also did some drywall work, framing repairs, and plumbing repairs. The house turned out great. We are very happy with the final product. Our project manager was Ron. He did a great job. His communication was excellent. He also stopped by the house frequently. He moved things along at a fast pace. He also had good attention to detail. If one of the subcontractors did something wrong, Ron would make sure it got done right. He also just really knows his stuff and was a great resource for us as we made decisions about the project. I would definitely hire Ron and Lumina Builders again.

Lumina Builders just completed a condo bedroom redo for me. It looks great and was completed in only 1 week instead of the estimated 2 weeks. They are very professional and know what they are doing using quality materials. Shon was my project manager and kept me up to date on each part. He took my "I want list" and made it happen with beautiful flooring, paint, window shades, shelving, closet doors and lighting. All the workers just came in and went right to the project at hand without wasting any time. Most companies only want to do big jobs and would not even consider such a small request. I am so happy to find Lumina Builders and would recommend them to others. Thank you for a job well done.

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 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.

Lumina is an amazing company. Its owner, David, is a true representative of what customer service ought to be. Invariably, in construction, there will be issues that come up. These guys will work with you, no matter the concern. They are fair, reasonable, efficient, and--most importantly--they do extraordinary work. I can't recommend them highly enough. If you're looking for someone to help with your home renovation project, look no further. These are your guys.

I recently bought a house in the San Diego area to rent out. It needed a little work and I called Lumina Builders Inc. to give me a quote on a kitchen remodel. They were fantastic all around. Right from the start I was treated very nicely and I simply loved that. David was the one that came out to do the work. He was great! Very friendly and so professional, I couldn't have asked for anyone better. The remodel was right on schedule and it turned out amazing. Their prices are more than reasonable and I loved the work David did. I'm definitely going to use Lumina in the future. I'm would highly recommend them for any sort of remodel you might have. Thanks David, you were great!!

David and his team completed a kitchen cabinet installation and the quality and responsiveness of his team was impressive. They arrived early, asked questions, did a thorough job in a very reasonable amount of time. They cleaned up and left the space so much better than when they arrived! Highly recommend.

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.

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!!

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.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Lumina Builders for the remodeling of my 1920s home, and I couldn't be happier with the results! From the very beginning, their team was professional, knowledgeable, and truly passionate about preserving the character of my house while modernizing it. The attention to detail was remarkable. They understood the importance of maintaining the historical elements, such as the original moldings and hardwood floors, while also upgrading the kitchen and bathrooms to meet today's standards. Communication throughout the project was excellent. They kept me informed every step of the way and were always open to my ideas and concerns. The project was completed on time and within budget, which is a testament to their efficiency and commitment to customer satisfaction. I highly recommend Lumina Builders to anyone looking to remodel their home. They have a unique ability to blend modern design with classic charm, making them the perfect choice for any renovation project!

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!

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!

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!!!!

I had my parents home remodelled in La Jolla. A 3bd 2bath David the owner worked directly with us and he was super helpful and very professional We are very happy with the outcome of this project Working with David was a pleasure and easy Highly recommended great job!!!

We had Lumina do our kitchen remodel and It came out soooooo great! Ella and Nico were our project managers and the are really cool people and helped us a lot along the way. This was our first time doing a remodel and of course you hear horror stories of mountains of change orders and weirdo workers, none of that happened for us, it was quite the opposite. They worked within our budget and never pressured us with upsells, definitely honest people that want their customers happy. We wanted an "open concept" which required taking a wall down, but we couldn't imagine how to arrange all the appliances in a way that made sense. But Ella and Nico came in and had so much energy and so many ideas, we quickly came to the perfect solution. Ella is the designer and she has a very strong opinion which I appreciate because you will get her honest opinion. They both helped me realize my vision and I am very happy with the result. I really liked working with them and will be calling them when its time to do our bathrooms in the future! Also all of the guys coming in and out of the house all the time were very nice and friendly and it was the same team throughout the whole project which we appreciated. Also we have a tortoise which free roams the back yard and a crazy dog and they were fine with them being around and making sure they were safe. Very happy with the remodel!

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!

My friend recommended Lumina Builders to me after he had room additions added recently to his home. Tamari came out and went over designs for kitchens with my wife and me. We decided a full kitchen renovation is what we needed which included new cabinets, flooring, sink, counters, and walls. We wanted natural wood and it bright and inviting in our kitchen. He sent his crew out the next week and they provided us with a remarkable looking kitchen that is just gorgeous! Thank you, Lumina Builders.

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.

Nothing scared me more then having my 'still usable' kitchen torn apart for one that was more updated. I kept stressing over all the bad that would happen. Especially when all the decissions were falling on my sholders starting with what builder to hire. I pictured the worst- fast food for months, making wrong choices over for permanent decissions then having it cost twice as much then they quoted. After a long month of careful considerstion I choose Lumina Builders. They were not the least expensive but they were the most helful with answering all my questions. The most creative with designing my kitchen and all of it was done in such a timely manner. They did such a wonderful job and the kitchen turned out beautiful. I cant believe i had all that stress and lost so much sleep over nothing. Thanks guys! Keep up the great work.

Best people Best Team Super awesome response Cant thank them enough for their fabulous service. Would recommend them to anyone looking for remodelling

I just want to commend Nadav and his crew on a job well done on my project and I couldn't be happier with the results!!! I can't express how much I appreciate Nadav and his communication throughout the entire process of renovation. We renovated the bathroom and he was also able to keep it budget friendly and did such an amazing job. One thing I can assure you is that you can trust Nadav and his crew, they are so reliable and such a pleasure to work it. I look forward to working with them again!

We had a great experience with Lumina Builders. We hired them to do a full exterior remodel (roof, stucco, insulation) and an electrical re-wire. They also did some drywall work, framing repairs, and plumbing repairs. The house turned out great. We are very happy with the final product. Our project manager was Ron. He did a great job. His communication was excellent. He also stopped by the house frequently. He moved things along at a fast pace. He also had good attention to detail. If one of the subcontractors did something wrong, Ron would make sure it got done right. He also just really knows his stuff and was a great resource for us as we made decisions about the project. I would definitely hire Ron and Lumina Builders again.

We recently completed a bathroom remodel with Lumina Builders. Although this was far from the largest project Lumina normally takes on, we were treated as though it was. From David and Osman, our satisfaction was the primary concern. When the job was completed, and the final check was written, David’s last statements to us were: “If you have any questions or there are any problems, you let me know and we will make it right.” You can ask for nothing more from a contractor. We would definitely use Lumina Builders again, and would recommend them to any of our friends. Thanks guys, for the great job!!!

Hired Lumina Builders to make a wash room/mud room from my entryway and my husband and I couldn’t be more satisfied with how the project turned out! Alon, the contractor was very accommodating and professional, he listened to all my ideas and made the experience very easy and smooth. I am extremely happy with the end product and would definitely use Lumina Builders again for further projects/ renovations.

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.

Joey Dahan and his team including Laz and Alex exceeded all my expectations. They were courteous and super clean. I was happily delighted with how little dust there was during the entire project due to their meticulous daily cleanup. The work by the entire team was top notch... cabinet team, tile team, countertop team, shower glass team... they know what they are doing. They had great recommendations along the journey as well. Joey made sure everything was running just fine and communicated perfectly. He knows the industry and the craft and was great to know we were being taken care of. Highly highly highly recommend.

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 great 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.

My husband and I have been looking for a remodeling company to work with for a long time. We eventually chose Lumina Builders because their customer service was by far the best and their online reputation and Yelp reviews seemed promising. And indeed, our contractor Didi was absolutely outstanding! A young, energetic guy, so knowledgeable and professional, you'd think he was in this industry for decades. I have never worked with a contractor who was so upfront and communicative. He emailed confirmations (from his own initiative, without us having to chase or bother him), always showed up on time and made follow up calls precisely as scheduled. When he had crew members bring in the countertop he would call to see how things went and make sure everyone was satisfied. Didi forgot nothing, constantly showed attention to the smallest details and always kept us in the loop. Having dealt with flaky contractors in the past, it was great to know that he cared how we felt every step of the way. Didi's estimate/quote was well-detailed and laid-out. My husband and I understood exactly how much we were being charged and what every item/service cost. There was no confusion. And as several other reviewers said - very affordable. I appreciated that he was willing to make suggestions for cheaper options, since we on somewhat of a tighter budget. Didi put in great effort to find the best cost effective solutions for our home without sacrificing style or quality. We are so happy with the final results, our kitchen is looking amazing, the cupboards and countertops are absolutely outstanding and of great quality. We are definitely planning to have Didi return to work on our bathrooms in the future once we have saved up.

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 are a legit custom home contractor. I have been in the construction game my whole life. There is a certain level of intuition the builder needs to possess that can't be taught. Building quality custom homes can only be accomplished from acquiring years of experience. That intuition is nurtured over those years. Allowing the builder to forsee future and present complications in the build. Craftsmanship has to be a priority!!! Lumina builders are highly motivated and driven by that priority.

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.

Ron of Lumina Builders was a joy to work with on our master bath remodel! From the day he arrived to give an estimate to the day of completion, Ron was honest, attentive, responsive, and highly competent. Honest because he never once under estimated costs or hid costs. In fact, that first meeting he didn't even give an actual estimate because he went back to the shop to calculate a real estimate of time and materials. He did not ever say, "don't worry about it" instead he said "let me explain it to you." For me personally that is how I like to operate when I am spending thousands of dollars. I prefer to be told everything in order to make a decision, not depend on an "expert" to tell me what I want, that is attention that I require when working on large jobs. But do not get me wrong, Ron is an expert at his job. He learned about us and our wants and then he delivered on those, just as he promised that he would. He was on the job site several days each week to assess, to ask for our input, and to respond. He hired contractors that were efficient, professional, and friendly. Every worry I had (and I shared them all with him), he addressed until I was completely satisfied. Sometimes that involved re-doing work (I did not like the first 2 paint choices) and sometimes that involved re-figuring how to do something (had to move an already moved ceiling fixture because the new shower door was impacted). All because the contractors were highly competent and would not leave until they were sure we felt confident in the final product. Overall, I could not be happier with the remodel and every moment I spend in my new master bath reassures me that we picked the right company for this job.

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.

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.

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.

Lumina just completed a garage remodel into an art studio space. I must preface this by saying that I have built two homes from the ground up and this was the first time that a contractor and their subs, said what they were going to do, did it on time and stayed within the fixed price contract. Mor was the construction manager, and she is on top of it, always stayed in contact to let me know the next step, easy to get a hold of with a question, their was not one glitch with Lumina. Mor is so professional and knowledgeable, even when we had a problem with a garage door company that "I" hired she was able to smooth things over and get the ball rolling. I plan on doing a master bath remodel this fall, and I will hire Lumina and insist on Mor as my construction manager. Thanks Mor, you are really good at what you do. Cheryl Criss

Ron and the lumina team did an amazing job with our remodel. Highly recommend Ron — he is reliable, hard working, and honest. He communicated with us about everything and was responsive to concerns and questions. We are very pleased with the beautiful result!

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!

Hired Lumina Builders to make a wash room/mud room in my entryway. My husband and I are so happy that we went with Lumina Builders. Alon is a very attentive and accommodating contractor. Listened to all my ideas and made the experience very easy and smooth. I am extremely happy with the end product! Definitely recommend Lumina Builders for home renovations.

Lumina Builders just completed a condo bedroom redo for me. It looks great and was completed in only 1 week instead of the estimated 2 weeks. They are very professional and know what they are doing using quality materials. Shon was my project manager and kept me up to date on each part. He took my "I want list" and made it happen with beautiful flooring, paint, window shades, shelving, closet doors and lighting. All the workers just came in and went right to the project at hand without wasting any time. Most companies only want to do big jobs and would not even consider such a small request. I am so happy to find Lumina Builders and would recommend them to others. Thank you for a job well done.

We needed to update our master bathroom. We kept procrastinating because both of us were overwhelmed with designing it. We saw other YELP reviews about how Ella and Nico were great at the design portion, so we reached out. Ella was able to get the general idea of what we liked and really helped us build from there. We spent several hours shopping together to find the exact combination of materials that would work. They were both extremely responsive and followed through with everything we asked and fixed or addressed any problems that we encountered. We could not recommend them enough!

Our bathroom remodel project was professional managed from initial cost quote through completion. Our Project Manager/Consultant, Ron Gauzner, was most pleasant to work with and accommodating to our needs. He patiently explained various facets of the project from the onset and immediately provided a detailed cost breakdown with variable owner-supplied material costs that proved to be very accurately estimated. He followed through on job progress daily and endeavored to ensure our satisfaction. The project was short-fused with a critical completion date which Ron and his crew diligently worked to meet. The crew was amiable to work with. They maintained the worksite clean on a daily basis, were very respectful, and provided minimal disturbance to our daily routine. The cost was competitive and the piece of mind that came with trust in a valued working relationship made any seemingly higher cost worth the price. We will have a second bath remodeled in the near future and we look forward to contracting the service with Lumina Builders Inc., and working with Ron and crew again.

We just completed a kitchen/FR/BA remodel with Lumina Builders Inc. and could not be happier with the results! The project manager, Tal, did an outstanding job coordinating the work from start to finish. I think there were only 3 days during the entire project in which we did not have workers in our house moving the project forward; friends and neighbors could not believe, given the scale of the project and the quality of the work, how fast the project was completed. Tal continuously came by the house to check on the progress; he was very hands on and immediately addressed any concerns or issues. We also appreciated that when Lumina bid this project they disclosed their costs up front; their costs were not buried in a total project estimate like the bids some other builders provided. Once the project started we naturally had several change requests, some of which were significant, but we were pleasantly surprised that Lumina was very fair with the additional costs for all of our changes! We were also impressed with the team of workers and their outstanding attention to detail and willingness to make sure we were totally satisfied with their work. The finished result is a credit to their workmanship and skill. The experience was so smooth that we are already thinking of a future project (upstairs) for our house and without a doubt, the only call we will make will be to Lumina Builders Inc.!

Such a wonderful experience. We have met with David at the showroom to brainstorm kitchen and bathroom remodeling options. He put everything in order and made everything to make sense. Efficient feedback that made us change our architects plans. Gave us an analysis on how the process would take place and what to expect in each stage of the project. Looking forward working together.

Lumina Builders personable and knowledgeable staff came out to evaluate the work needing to be done, gave a prompt quote, and set up the job within my timeline. They did an outstanding and professional job. Afterward, the project manager came back to confirm I was pleased with the work completed. Would highly recommend Lumina Builders for all types of work, big and small.

We hired Lumina for a complete master bath remodel after seeing work they did for a friend of ours. Shon was our project manager and was very attentive, was here everyday to inspect project progress, and did everything to ensure we were happy with everything. The crew was great, always courteous, and cleaned up so well at the end of every single day. We LOVE our new bathroom! We would definitely use Lumina for another project and would recommend Lumina to anyone else looking!

We worked with Ella and Nico on a pretty serious remodel - turning a small bedroom into a bathroom and laundry room, and combining the existing master and guest bathrooms into a single big master bathroom. This was our first major remodel and I was really nervous but they made it super easy. They came up with great designs (better than we had envisioned) but always deferred to our input and preferences. They gave a lot of guidance in the millions of decisions that are necessary, and I don't even know how we would have figured it out without this. The actual implementation was high quality, on time, and within budget. We were extremely happy with the end result (pics attached). I would recommend Nico and Ella without hesitation and we'll definitely use them for any future projects.

We worked with Lumina Builders for a complete remodel of our kitchen, master bath, my daughter's bathroom and our laundry room - as well as an adding on a brand new office to our home - and - new flooring throughout the whole house. It was an amazing and wonderful experience! Ron G. managed the entire process and he was just fabulous!! The attention to detail, professionalism, problem-solving, reliability, industry knowledge and contacts, guidance at every step - Ron was incredible, he made this experience enjoyable! He kept everyone on task and on schedule; he came up with solutions when we hit any kind of construction road-block. Ron even provided helpful tools to track project expenses and our budget. We have done other remodels on our home - this was by far the very best experience we have had! I would recommend Lumina Builders without hesitation. Thank you Ron and team!! --

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.

We had an excellent experience with Lumina. Omer was our project manager, and there from the initial bid through the final touch-ups.. Omer came each day of our project and was very quick to respond to questions and concerns as they came up during the project. The work was done within the time period they promised it would be, and it looks beautiful! We have had a number of contractors over the year, and our experience with Lumina has been the best experience of them all.

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.

As I mentioned in my earlier review, we contracted with Lumina Builders to renovate our guest bathroom, laundry room, and kitchen. They did a fabulous job (5 stars) on our bathroom, and this review is for the laundry room and kitchen. Lumina did a super job on our laundry room and kitchen. Our project manager Oded kept an eye on the workers and made several great suggestions to us along the way -- saving us money and in some cases resulting in a better "look." The workers were skilled, diligent, and respectful throughout. We have a cat and a dog and they were willing and able to work around them with minimal disruption. In addition, Lumina was able to stay on schedule -- getting the entire job completed the first week of March, fortunately, before the coronavirus outbreak. We are so grateful to have our beautiful home all done now as we hunker down. Overall, an easy five stars -- thanks, again, Oded and crew for going above and beyond with our renovations. Looking forward to working with you again in the future.

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.

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.

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 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!
