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.

I reached out to Lumina Builders for a licensed contractor and believe it or not, the owner in the next 10 minutes was at my location to hear my project. He was so flexible that he started the project within next 48 hours to accommodate my timeline and he did an fantastic job which was above and beyond my expectations. I would highly recommend Lumina Builders for all kinds of home improvement work, they are reliable, fast, professional & above all cost effective. Excellent Job .

Being a Realtor in the greater San Diego area, having a trustworthy contractor is a must. David is always my first contact for clients needing remodels, renovations, or all of the above. Response time is immediate, communication through the process is consistent and the finished product is always 100%. I highly recommend Lumina Builders and look forward to the continued business.

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. And unlike other contractors we spoke to, they weren't immediately trying to cut corners on permits or code, which gave us confidence they would leave us with a flood or fire hazard waiting to happen, especially as our condo is starting to show its age (and its crappy old aluminum wire). Proper steps were taken to make sure everything was properly built, and would stand the test of time. 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.

We have had a pleasure today to meet Petra to discuss our remodeling project in 92120 zipcode. Petra was extremely knowledgeable, funny and professional. She is the whole package you wish from your project manager. A wonderful first impression regarding the company and Petra. We haven't decided yet when and who will do our construction work, but because of Petra we have a strong feeling it might be Lumina Builders. Thank you so much for all your time, we appreciate it. Z.

Lumina fully renovated our master and guest bath and installed glass tile backsplash in our kitchen. They all came out beautifully as you can see from the attached pictures. Our Project Manager was Daniel D. He is extremely organize, gave really good advice on the design and materials, and great to work with. Daniel was very attentive to the project and was there everyday to check on the progress. If we had issues, he was right on it and was quick to fix it. The foreman on the project were JR and Osmond and they were also very receptive to all our requests. Also, they were respectful of our request for everyone to wear mask at all times. There were a couple of things that I would like to see improve below. I didn't remove a star for them since Daniel was very receptive to fixing them. 1) the clean up and leaving the trash in our side yard, blocking the walkway. We complained to Daniel & JR several times and it got better in the end. However, I found two filled trash bags in our garage after they left the job. 2) there were a couple of days where our master bedroom was very dusty bec they were cutting tiles in the master bath without properly hanging the plastic cover in the doorway. Daniel and JR were very quick to address this and we had our bed and bedroom furnitures covered with plastic for the remainder of the project. Daniel even offered to professionally clean the bedroom if it happens again. There are still a couple of things that Lumina needs to finish (fix shower due to bad part from manufacturer, additional grout in the guest bath & fixing a wood panel around a door) and Daniel have JR coming out tomorrow to complete them. Our experience with Lumina have been very positive overall and we are definitely using them again for future projects.

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.

Lumina Builders did an exterior stucco and woodwork project on our home. Despite COVID and the recent extreme heat, they did a really good job on the house. Project Manager Omri Motale did a great job coordinating the various trades. He was professional and always responded when we called even though he had other projects going on at the same time.

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!!

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!

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.

We are very happy with our experience with Lumina especially working with Eden, our project manager! He presented options for our kitchen remodel, listened to our wants and needs and was flexible with our changes. He stayed in contact throughout the whole process and responded to our inquiries and requests, even late at night and on the weekends. He provided a timeline and stuck to it, which was important since we were expecting a new baby. Now the work, amazing! He took our 1950s house and made our vision for an open concept with a huge peninsula and beautiful floors a reality. We topped it off with complementary decor and we absolutley love our "new" house! Thank you Lumina!

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.

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've worked with many builders on home renovations on both the East and West Coasts. This project was our 5th renovation. When we met with prospective builders, we knew we needed someone we could have absolute trust in because our budget was limited and we couldn't afford surprises. We also needed someone creative and flexible enough to contribute ideas and solutions that worked within our constraints (and that could brainstorm ideas with us). We needed someone that could see through the tiny 1BR, 1 bath and imagine what we were imagining. And we needed someone that could handle design thru build and all aspects of the project. We are unbelievably grateful we went with Lumina Builders. From the envisioning phase through completion, they were a true partner in every sense of the word. We appreciated our project manager Ron's skill at interpreting our ideas, figuring out how to make it work within our budget and going the extra mile to ensure we're happy with the outcome. It was a true collaboration and we couldn't be happier! The Lumina team completely transformed the house over the course of the project and made our vision come alive. The entire Lumina crew were top notch, hard working pros and their attention to detail was impressive. We love our remodeled home and are grateful to Lumina for turning our rough sketches into our family 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.

I am a real estate agent in the San Diego area and I constantly have clients asking me if I know anyone I can recommend for remodels. I can say this from experience that Lumina Builders is everything they say they are and more. I have had the pleasure of working with Tamari and his team on numerous projects for various clients of mine ranging from kitchen and bathroom remodels to just recently adding a 1000 sqft addition to an existing home and did a beautiful job! My clients have all been very pleased with the work and have said nothing but great things. Tamari is very professional, reliable and fast! Not to mention the fantastic quality of work and very competitive pricing. Knowing I can trust in Tamari and his company to handle anything my clients ask for gives me a great sense of comfort. I highly recommend this company. Looking forward to more projects! Thanks

We had a new patio built with wood burning fireplace and pavers. Lumina created a beautiful, high quality, solid structure.

We are so pleased with the results that we are having the company do our bathroom 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!

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 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.

Tamari, at Lumina recently completed remodeling 2 of our bathrooms. The job was well planned, managed, and completed in a timely fashion. A couple of minor problems occurred after completion and were fixed quickly. We were referred to Ferguson for bath fixtures and accessories. They also did a great job for us. The best remodel experience ever for my wife and I. Thanks,Tamari.

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 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.

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.

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!!!

After having the most horrible experience of my entire life on a bathroom remodel (our ONLY BATHROOM) that took FOUR MONTHS, I was traumatized by remodeling/upgrading anything else in our home. I hired a contractor on a word of mouth recommendation (without online feedback) who once started, never showed up, twisted all scenarios in his own favor, was dishonest, etc. Let's just say that I was left to be the contractor for almost everything, supervising the workers, etc. You know, all the nightmares you pray won't happen to you when you undergo construction in your home. However our 1928 house was in dire need of a kitchen refresh and we knew we had to do something with a new baby coming in just a few short months. Right before Thanksgiving, I decided to conquer my fear and check yelp to see if there were any prospective companies that could help us. I sorted by most/best reviews and found Lumina. I made a quick phone call on a whim because I got good vibes from the other reviews and Ella (project manager) was at our house for a bid by the weekend. Nothing is normal about our lath & plaster beach hacienda home and that didn't intimidate her. She didn't try and up-sell us, but instead had a long chat with us to discover exactly what we needed based on our unique situation and came up with a plan for us. I was so relieved when she left but of course I was skeptical because of my past experience. The holidays were approaching and she was going out of town for Christmas, but we moved forward and she was able to squeeze in our entire project in the THREE SHORT WEEKS BEFORE SHE LEFT. I still cannot believe it. From first day of demo to the last day of cleanup, three weeks, exactly what was promised. Please know they are not the cheapest, but with my level of expectation and perfectionism I truly believe you get what you pay for. I paid about 25% more than other quotes I was given but in return, I got a responsive, honest, hard working, and friendly project manager/designer/architect in Ella and Nico. I did not have to be in charge because they handled everything, and this hands off approach to remodeling will keep my husband and I as returning customers for years to come in this house and future properties. I am beyond relieved to know that I have these two to help us in our future!

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.

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.

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!

From the initial consultation meeting, to selecting materials and designing the space to the execution and construction, the process was straightforward and pleasant.

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.

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.

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.

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!

We were referred to Lumina from some friends who had their bathroom remodeled. That was our plan as well - a master bathroom remodel. Amit and his team were amazing. Amit was just terrific; transparent about every expense, constantly updating us, and keeping us apprised of the progress. His team was terrific - Oscar, the team tile guy was fantastic. Super friendly and answered all of put questions. For my wife and I, a very important part whenever we hire contractors is a very simple question: would you want to hang with these folks if they were not working at your house? It's a resounding "yes" with Lumina - I'm not sure how often Amit and I hung out after the work part was over, talking about everything under the sun, but it was a lot. An absolute pleasure to work with Amit and his team, and we're excited about the result. Highly recommended.

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 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.

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 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.

We just finished our kitchen remodeling on 18-June-2016. We are very happy with our new kitchen. All the people who visited our kitchen gave it a "wow"! Dave and his team did wonderful job. Most of Dave's workers are excellent, taking pride in what they do. One guy was not particularly focused. He was taken out of the job and his work was redone properly by his replacement. Dave responded very professionally to our requirements. He did everything to make sure we are happy with the quality of the work. The cost is exactly the same as stated in the contract, no extra pennies. We will hire his company for any work in the future. Paul and Wenling

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 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.

My husband and I were beginning the process of remodeling our kitchen and bathroom and it was a little overwhelming. We had a couple contractors come out to give us a quote but the process was frustrating because some didn't even take measurements and some didn't get back to us in a timely manner. But when Tamari with Lumina Builders came to our house he took measurements, created a design layout on his computer in our dining room and gave us a quote right there on the spot. It was seamless and we were super impressed. In addition to that, he had a lot better ideas than we did about how to reposition the bathroom and kitchen. His ideas saved us space and money and he presented his ideas all in a respectful way. We also had a very tight deadline due to family coming to town. He not only promised he could deliver on the timeline but ended up finishing a little early. Tamari was also very accessible. Any text or call was answered either right away or within the hour. When people come over they marvel over how great the kitchen and bathroom look. I would definitely recommend Lumina Builders.

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.

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.

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.

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.!

Guy is a blessing. He mentioned things that I didn't even notice and pointed out other things that I again had not noticed. He is patient and understanding and a wonderful representation of an amazing company. As an average peorosn it is easy to overlook small details and safety concerns and Guy pointed things out and provided us professional guidance in plain understandable non contractor english! I did plenty of research before speaking to Lumina Builders and they have a well deserved and earned great reputation. They have amazing credentials as well as customer service. Everyone we dealt with from Guy to Lauren to David was a pleasure to deal with.

We just completed a master bath remodel with Lumina Builders and they were fantastic. The sales/design person, Mor, was the best. As others have mentioned, she communicated with us every day of the job, usually stopping by to make sure everything was being done to our satisfaction. When giving us the original quote, she didn't try to upsell anything -- in fact, quite the opposite. She gave us a competitive quote that we later chose to add a couple things to. And the new quote still came out significantly lower than other bids we received. Before the project got started, Mor met my wife at various shops to help us choose tile and provide her contractors discounts on all our purchases. Both before and during the project, whenever we had questions or concerns, she was very responsive to calls or texts. Good communication like that provides great peace of mind. Alder was the contractor (a Lumina employee) assigned to our project. He was SO great! Respectful, kind, pleasant to deal with and truly wanting to do everything he could to make things perfect. He showed up every day like clockwork at 8am, and would be there till 5pm or 6pm, depending on the work being done. When we asked, he was very happy to tell us what stuff he was planning on completing that day. He checked with us on how we wanted the tiles laid out, specifically where we wanted our electrical outlets, etc. Always very thorough. Another important thing: In a different company's bid, they warned us that it might be best to move out of our master bedroom, while they do demo and work on the master bath. But Mor and Alder set up a floor-to-ceiling plastic zippered barrier between the 2 rooms. This barrier kept the dust and debris isolated, so we could still have the convenience of our own bed, TV, chest of drawers, etc. and stay in our master bedroom. When the job was nearing completion, Mor did a walkthru with us to find anything that wasn't perfect. She even found minor things that we didn't even notice -- or things we might not have mentioned to Alder. But she made sure it was on his todo list, and he was happy to do it and make it right. We just had our final completed walk-thru today, and everything looks great. We will absolutely use Lumina for any future remodels. Excellent pricing, good communication, quality work, and attention to detail. Thanks so much to Mor and Alder for making the process go as smoothly as possible.

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 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!

I was looking for builders to complete a hall remodel project and came across Lumina Builders after looking at the Yelp reviews. The representative from Lumina Builders, Omri, was very professional, prepared, thorough, and easy to talk to. Of the 3 other contractors I spoke with, Omri was the best. I had to push out the project start date due to a late shipment of plumbing fixturees, but it wasn't a problem at all. Omri is really easy to work with. The project went according to schedule and on budget, NO ADDTIONAL FEES when leaks were found in the plumbing and had to be fixed during the remodel. The price at the start was fixed, no surprises. Making tweaks to the design wasn't a problem either because of the quick responses. Initially I was afraid my smaller remodel project would not get the same attention as a larger, bigger but project, but Omri was there everyday along with his project manger, Osman, supervising the work to make sure it's done right. In the end the project turned out great and I would use Lumina Builders 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!

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 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

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.

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.

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!!

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.

My wife and I were planning to do a garage renovation, so we scheduled an appointment with Lumina Builders. I must first say that I went through and actually read all of the Yelp reviews before deciding to make the call. That being said, they were as advertised and as identified here on Yelp. Guy showed up at the house on time. He was thorough with his questions and provided me with ample information regarding the possible execution of my project....and of all the contractors I contacted, he was the only one that actually got up on the roof while doing the survey. In the end we decided that the garage was not something we were ready to do at this time, but I would have given them the job without any reservations.

He helped me every step of the way and would answer my many questions without hesitation. He was very honest with what was required for my remodel. He even went out of his way to assist me in selecting the perfect materials for my vision. He was also able to beat the prices of the companies that did actually calm me back and provided a quote so that was a very big plus! All said and done, my kitchen is beautiful and they made our remodel a breeze. Thank you!

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.

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 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.

Yesterday marked the completion of our project with the Lumina Builders. It was a big project and we are very happy with the outcome. There are many episodes happened in the process - remodeling is a big daunting work, and you need the best professionals standing on your side. We are very happy that we chose Lumina Brothers as our general contractor (especially Tamari). We started the remodeling project with extensive research on general contractors. We interviewed greater than 10 contractors. Some were expensive, some were rude, some were too good to be true, some said to get back to us in two weeks. When Tamari showed up, we had very good chemistry to begin with. He really took ownership in the project, and when we tested which cabinet / counter top / floor he would like to use, he picked exactly what we were thinking just a day ago - it was amazing. We signed contract right on site. The first thing Lumina Builders impressed us was the speed. While other contractors estimated it need about 2 months to finish everything, Tamari promised to get everything done within 4-6 weeks, and the most time consuming part was to wait for the custom cabinetry. The subsequent events proved their efficiency - it took 1 day to do the demo of kitchen and master bath, installation of flooring, painting, electrical, all happens at lightning speed without compromise of quality. If you are in a situation where you want to move out of rental and move in as soon as possible - call Tamari. They put a lot of folks on site, and they are all very nice and easy to work with. It's very common to have the outcome different from what you expect during the project - nothing is perfect. Tamari's response is always - 'I'll take care of it'. (I can already mimic with his accent now). He rarely argues it can't be changed, but rather, get to fix things right away. I would text him certain things we would like to change, and next morning 8am his guy is already working. For example, there was one tile in the bathroom, the initial installation was a little bit uneven. I told Tamari and he asked his men to replace that piece immediately. It looked nice until one night, we found the color of the replacement tile looked very different from the rest, made it look like a patch at night - but during the day they all looked identical! This is probably because of a manufacture issue, and when I told Tamari he asked his men to change it right away. That tile need to be cut to fit the trim of the door and it's not trivial task, and he never argued. There were many other small things (laundry lists) we asked Tamari to help and he delivered all. We were very happy. Finally - the long story about counter top. When Tamari ordered the countertop we liked, it was out of stock. We really liked that one and Tamari fought with the regional owner and eventually got us a special shipment of the specific stone. Shortly after installation, the stone got a very, very small crack (which is barely noticeable until the stone got heated up around noon by the sun). Tamari immediately acknowledged the problem and stated the replacement process with the stone manufacturer. It was a very, very low probability event and the manufacturer and the installer were both surprised. Eventually he got a brand new replacement for us and we were very satisfied. Finally - remodeling is indeed a big undertaking. We are very happy to have lumina brothers on our side build a place where we could call our lovely home. Give them a call - and I am pretty sure you will love to work with these great people ! 🙂

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!! --

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 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 just finished our long-awaited kitchen remodel and could not be happier. We were new to the process, so we contacted several companies for consultation and bids. Many of these companies left us with more questions than we had before and no real direction about where to start. Daniel Dechner of Lumina explained the whole process in detail and made us much more comfortable throughout the project. He and his team were very responsive to any concerns we had along the way. I highly recommend Lumina Builders for your next project. You won’t regret it.

From start to finish Lumina did an amazing job with our home remodel. Most of our home was remodeled ( kitchen , bathrooms, floors...). Project managers Ella and Nico were always available for updates and remodel recommendations and were easy to work with. The 3D renderings looked like the final product. Would highly recommend.

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.

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.

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.

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.

after interviewing four contractors for our kitchen and two bathroom remodels, we were extremely pleased with the work of Lumina builders and our project, managers, Alon, and Dor. Alon had excellent design ideas that we incorporated into our plan. They stuck to the budget and the schedule and anytime we wanted to change they were very agreeable and expedient. we are thrilled with our upgraded kitchen and baths

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!

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.
