Make Your Dream Home Come True

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.

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

I Can't say enough about Lumina Builders and the owner David and his project managers and the whole team. They came in and made the 60s kitchen I'm living in that was once my grandparents into the most beautiful open kitchen!! They took down a wall, and completely gutted the whole thing and now it's modern, big and open! They're design team was awesome too!! He quoted me about 60 days to do the work and only because it was the holidays so there was down time, it was just a few days more!! They were polite, neat and cleaned up every day before they left! There's nothing in there that I would change!! I've called a few times since to ask questions about things and a few minor adjustments needed to be made and someone came out right away and fixed it, no questions asked! In the beginning I told him my budget and the whole job even came in a little bit under! I highly recommend this company to do whatever remodeling you need some!!

I have a small 1957 home with a galley kitchen and didn't want to bust out walls. Lumina gave me a gorgeous modern updated kitchen. The crew of guys are friendly and efficient and do great work! Martine you rock, always takes the time to answer my questions. I have gone from a bright yellow cookie monster to a black, white, and gold sophisticated lady of a kitchen! Project manager Tal is the man! Responds to your questions quickly and handles anything that might come up. I can't recommend them enough thanks guys everyone loves the kitchen!

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.

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

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.

I worked with Joey Dahan to renovate our guest bath, master bath, fireplace, and kitchen we couldn't be happier with every step of the process. A couple key comments: 1) Joey and the Lumina team were very attentive from the initial contact all the way until the final payment. 2) Joey was also a great design consultant and helped us create some beautiful spaces. 3) The overall price was very competitive and below the industry averages despite high quality and attentive work 4) The crews were very respectful 5) There were no change orders or other hidden costs We have already recommended Joey and the Lumina team to multiple friends and would use them again in a heartbeat.

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

My experience with Lumina was amazing. Communication, budget, quality, craftsmanship, organization, cleanliness and honesty were superior. Investing into an addition of my home was something I've been wanting for a long time and Lumina was the best choice I could have made. It was a large and scary investment; but their knowledge and own communication for my 100's of questions put me at ease. Highly recommend this team.

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.

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.

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.

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

I can't say enough of how impressed my wife and I are with the team at Lumina. After 3 bids we felt the most honest bid was from David and we are so happy with our decision. We had an outstanding experience with Lumina Builders and couldn't be happier with the results! They recently completed a major remodel for us, which included a full kitchen renovation and a home expansion. From start to finish, the team was professional, responsive, and highly skilled. Thank you for making our dream home come true!

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!

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!

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.

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

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 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!

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

I honestly can't say enough good things about my experience with Lumina Builders. We reached out to several contractors for a full house remodel, and were lucky enough to get set up with Amit. Amit was the only contractor we met with and actually trusted. He walked us through every step of the project and was heavily involved the entire time. I have already recommended Amit and Lumina to several friends who have had nothing but positive things to say as well. 10/10 in my book!

Lumina Builders completely remodeled my bathroom after I found I had a leak behind the tile. Guy Madar was the person in charge and because I am from out of state and unfamiliar with the places to purchase bathroom items he drove me around to pick out everything from a vanity to flooring. I'm so pleased with the results. Big thanks to Guy and Alder for their professionalism.

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

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

I've worked with Lumina on a few projects now, and have only glowing things to say. I'm an Interior Designer AND also sell custom cabinetry, which makes me a tough crowd. These guys are on their game - extremely efficient, knowledgeable, precise, reliable and they always follow-through on what they say they will do, which I always appreciate, and which makes all jobs go so much smoother. Best of all, they're all upbeat and friendly so they're great to be around.

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.

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

Tamari and his crew did a great job on a kitchen re-model for us several months ago. They finished right on the mark even though we set out a pretty aggressive timeline to get the job done. We are thrilled with our new kitchen and have enjoyed it immensely. I had a couple new door handles left over that we purchased around that same time (not tied to the re-model) that I asked Tamari to give me a reference to install. He ended up coming out himself and doing it free of charge! I would definitely recommend Lumina to tackle your home improvement needs in the future.

Petra was an amazing project manager who helped me with my beautiful bathroom design. She helped me bring my ideas to life. Her assistance was there through out the whole process. I will definitely recommend her and have her help me next on my kitchen area.

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.

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

Lumina Builders did a complete remodel, transforming my small galley way kitchen into an open, spacious, beautiful kitchen. I had the pleasure of working with David from Lumina Builders. David met with me numerous times before the construction commenced to go through the remodeling plans and to help me pick out materials. During the construction, David checked in with me every day to discuss the work schedule and the work being done that day, and to confirm I was pleased with the progress and the work. The rare occasion when an issue would arise, David would respond by saying "no problem, we'll take care of it," and they did. The Lumina team also made sure my home was picked up and clean before they left each day. I highly recommend Lumina Builders and plan on using David and his team for my upcoming bathroom remodel.

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!

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

We hired Lumina for a remodel of our master and guest bedroom bathrooms. Joey Dahan was our consultant. He was very personable and professional and kept us updated throughout the entire process from the initial bid to job completion. He was extremely helpful with design suggestions and made sure all of our needs and concerns were addressed. We would use Lumina again and strongly recommend them to our friends.

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

We 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!!

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

We had 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!

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

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

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

After interviewing a few contractors for our kitchen remodel, we decided to go with Lumina because they met our price point with the quality of cabinets and material we were looking for. We worked extensively with Mor, who did an excellent job keeping us up to date on the project timelines and with addressing all of our ongoing questions and concerns. In the end, we were happy with how Mor addressed every single concern of ours without reservation. We are thrilled with our new kitchen and Mor definitely made us feel like we were being taken care of every step of the way. Highly recommended!

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!

Ella came out to provide an estimate for a kitchen remodel and was amazing. She was so knowledgeable about renovation and design. She spent a lot of time and energy talking through what I was looking for and what my best options would be, offering her opinions about what might work best, and walking me through what the renovation process would entail step-by-step in an honest and thorough way. The quote seemed fair and accurate for the job. I received several estimates and would definitely put Lumina Builders at the very top of the list in terms of expertise, effort, honesty, and reasonable pricing.

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

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!!

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

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.

Thank you lumina builders, and especially you David, for making my dream a reality. Even though I was a pedantic and difficult customer, you knew how to satisfy me and calm me down throughout the renovation process. Must note that phase A to Z was great. Thanks !!!

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 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

We hired Lumina for a bathroom remodel, window replacement, and floor refinishing in our 1920's craftsman in South Park. Amit, our project manager, did a great job communicating any issues that arose, had great customer service, and was very responsive. We are very happy with the work and would recommend to anyone looking to do a full service remodel. Some before and after pics are attached.

I've worked with builders from all over the country and beyond. I have rental properties as well as my home, and have quite a bit of experience working with all sorts of trades people. My experience with Lumina Builders was, hands down, the best I've had. To be honest, when I was first looking for a contractor to take on my home remodel, one of the early deciding factors was the fact that they are located so close to me (so I could chase them down easily if things started going badly during the project). I first contacted them, got the proposal, and signed the contract in spring of 2019 and we started planning at that time. Getting engineering drawings. Permits. With my schedule and preparations, we didn't actually start demolition until February of 2020. I recall having told Joey Dahan that part of the scheduling problem was making sure I'd be here during the work. He told me that they didn't need me there; they just do the work right and can fully do it all on their own. I thought to myself, "yea, sure. No way in hell that's going to happen." A lifetime of bizarre and badly done work when I'm not present to over-see things was front and center in my mind. Well, Joey was right. I didn't really need to be there, other than to help with where I wanted things. Placement of switches/lights/fixtures. During the 4 months of work, if I so much as thought in my head, "I sure hope they're going to do ......" they were already on it and way ahead of me. If I saw something that didn't look right, Joey had already seen it first and would be working on correcting it. The organization was unbelievable. It was a pretty complex project, and I'm still amazed at how well they tackled it in such a systematic way; at all times remembering that we were still living in the house and minimizing inconveniences to the extent possible. Another impressive thing I have to give Joey credit for was the overall thoroughness of his quote. I've had plenty of trades people over the years give a quote, then constantly are coming back asking for more money. Sure, there will always be unexpected challenges in any project that may require change orders, but I've worked with plenty who act as though everything in the original scope of their work was now going to cost extra. I won't say that we didn't have a couple of items that Joey missed in the original quote, that required a couple of change orders, but I can honestly say, for the size of the project overall, the missed, additional items were minimal. So minimal, I'd just go ahead and say that the project basically remained completely on budget. I knew it would be a big job, but it was even bigger than I'd expected. Every tradesperson sent to the job was friendly, efficient, and did top notch work. They were about as tidy as you can be when you've ripped down nearly 1/3 of the house. I started the process a cautious skeptic, and 4 months later, ended a believer. I would not hesitate to hire them again. I still have one more bathroom to be done, and will be in contact with them for that soon.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

I realized my dream by buying an ocean-view condo in La Jolla. Lumina Builders, and particularly Joey Dahan, fulfilled the dream by turning a 1970 condo into a home I love. I interviewed 3 contractors and 1 architect. When I met Joey, I knew it was Lumina for me. He was always professional and kind. Joey is a master planner and his team was fabulous. Every single one of them was hard-working, knowledgeable, trustworthy, polite--and they always cleaned up after themselves, were always attentive to detail, and were respectful of me and my home. The main projects were gutting and renovating the kitchen and master bath. They also painted my whole unit and made some upgrades throughout. Joey walked me through every step and was always patient and caring. He was here in a moment if needed. There was never a wasted moment--at least 1 person was always working. I am amazed that they completed the entire project in 5 weeks! I am THRILLED with my new home and will always be grateful to Lumina Builders. I simply could not recommend them more highly.

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!!

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.

It's always such a challenge to find a good contractor, much less one that provides both quality work and great customer service, and that's exactly what we got with Lumina. We had a couple different jobs we needed to get done, including a unique one where we needed to remove an extra shower in our guest bathroom in order to add space to a neighboring room, and also redoing a flat roof that was improperly sloped. Lumina was able to take on both projects, starting them around a week after we signed, running them in parallel with different teams, and finishing everything weeks ahead of schedule. Every member of their crew who came in were experienced at their specialty, and as a result, completed their portions on time with great results. Every one of them was professional and very respectful. Most importantly, our project manager, Ben, was incredible to work with. He was extremely responsive and addressed our texts and calls at any time, even weeknights and weekends. We felt supported every step of the way and he gave us confidence as he walked us through any issue we felt uncertain about. He was willing to go above and beyond when addressing unexpected issues - complete opposite of most other contractors who tend to cut corners. Overall, we were extremely impressed by Lumina and will definitely work with them in the future on any projects we need to get done.

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.

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!

Not just a good job, but a FANTASTIC job, a dream kitchen is what it is. I never thought i will have a kitchen like that. Shon was my project manager, he was here everyday and make sure everything was done properly, even the small details. All the in-house employees was really excellent on their job, they knew what they are doing. I also did my roof with them in 2 and a half days job between the storms. Thank you shon and lumina builders i will definitely will use you again in the future!

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

We LOVE our new guest bathroom! The 5 star reviews speak for themselves..... Tamari suggested vintage style black and white tiles, we liked the idea and went with it. The results are awesome, unique, and beautiful! They also did work on the master bath which we are very happy with. Thank you Tamari, David and Sean for making my vision come to life!

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.

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

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.

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!

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 had a new patio built with wood burning fireplace and pavers. Lumina created a beautiful, high quality, solid structure. Our project manager Tal was friendly, professional, highly responsive and easy to work with. The builders on site were always friendly and polite. We are so pleased with the results that we are having the company do our bathroom remodel.

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.

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

We were very pleased with the quality of work done by Lumina Builders. We had a 1958 original bathroom that needed to be completely redone. David walked us through the entire project. He met us at the tile store, Lowe's Building Supply and guided us in our selections for our bathroom. We stayed completely on budget, which we were very satisfied with. David checked on the job daily, and gave up a daily update as to the progress of work being done. His workers were very professional, efficient and neat. We are looking forward to working with David again!

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.

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.

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

We started an unexpected and challenging renovation of our master bath including structural change and redesign. Designer Tal has done a good job making the right decision even after our initial doubts. Project manager Amit and team especially Eric has been doing great job planning and executing the project including continuing fixing few remaining issues until our satisfaction. The final finish is worth the price, which is why I am giving five star review. If there is one thing can be improved I would suggest focusing on major brands materials to ensure quality control standards. Again, great work nice done. Thank you Lumina Builders!

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

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.

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 used Lumina Builders in Dec 2016 to install a beautiful aluminum patio cover to which we later added artificial foliage to provide a privacy screen from the neighboring building. Compared with other construction companies, the process of getting the work plan/quote for our project was very easy, professional and done in a timely manner. In addition we were very happy that Joey (the project manager/salesperson) was able to meet us on a weekend. Once we decided to move forward, there was no delay in starting the project and they were very flexible in terms of fitting in with our busy work schedules. Joey was excellent to work with and in constant communication with us throughout the entire process. If ever we had any issues they were quick to address them, and we don't doubt that they will be there for us if ever any issues were to arise in future. We would not hesitate to use them again in future. Thank you Joey and Lumina Builders for making our vision become a reality!

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.

I was extremely lucky enough to stumble across Lumina Builders on Yelp while shopping for a 5 star, highly rated contractor to take over a bathroom remodel project in my home which was not going very well. I will not get into too much detail about the first two "contractors" that I hired and fired, but let's just say the first two turned out not to be licensed and had no idea what they were doing. When I first called Lumina Builders, one of the receptionists had initially stated they usually book appointments with the owners a week or two in advance. However, after I explained my situation, the receptionist called David/owner on his cell; David dropped everything he was doing and met me in less than an hour. David's experience and knowledge was immediately evident; he pointed out so many things the previous contractors had missed which would have cost me dearly later. I signed the contract the next day, the bathroom remodel was completed much sooner than scheduled and the finished product turned out much much better than I had hoped for. Without a doubt, Lumina Builders will be my go-to company for all of my future projects. THANK YOU David, Tamari and your entire crew!

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.
