Make Your Dream Home Come True

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.

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

We 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

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.

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.

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

Lumina 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.

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!

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!

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

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!

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

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!!!:)))

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

I 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.

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

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.

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.

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!

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 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 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.

We loved working with Lumina from start to finish- extremely professional team that executed great work. I HIGHLY recommend hiring them!

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.

Alon was a pleasure to work with! We had a leak in our shower and decided to redo the whole shower. He was faster than promised. Stood by all his words. And we are so happy after finishing the shower, we decided to do a 3D design with Alon for our kitchen to move forward with a kitchen renovation. Alon is super knowledgable and has made the process very easy for us.

Lumina builders is a great company for you to remodel your home. I had my condo remodeled and I am very happy with the job and the price. Ron the project manager is very honest and kept to his word with no excuses.Despite all the difficulties with Covid and the backlog of materials. We remodeled the whole place down to the studs and here are a few photos. from before and after. Thank you Ron for a great job! Tony P.

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 change order (Ceiling and floor). Special thanks to Ron, who was the project manager for my project. He provided great communication and updates on a regular basis. He was also very patient in dealing with my tons of questions and was very accessible throughout the process.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Lumina (Joey, Osman, and team) remodeled our master bathroom and we were very pleased with the results. They were professional, skilled, friendly, and efficient. They listened to our ideas and made them into a reality, including a few adjustments along the way. Even after the project was done and paid for, when we noticed a couple things that needed fixing Joey was very responsive and he made sure it got taken care of quickly.

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

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

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!

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!

Great experience with a bathroom remodel and partial kitchen remodel with Lumina. Guy Madar, the project manager, was especially helpful in planning the remodel, going with me to pick out the fixtures and materials to ensure they would work and look good. The workers were on time, cleaned up every day, were courteous and respectful of my property. They did high quality work with a minimum of disruption. Above all they finished on time. The company was not cheap, but they had the requisite bonding, BBB rating, licensing, etc. that gave me confidence that the work would be completed and done well. I was pleased with the choice I made after meeting with 4 potential contractors.

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

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

My wife's friend has been using Lumina Builders for a few years doing several remodeling projects around their house. When we decided to remodel the kitchen she insisted we call Tamari and Lumina Builders first. They came out and talked with us for a few hours about what we wanted and met again with us later in the week. We sat down and saw a 3D plan of our kitchen. We decided that was what we wanted and moved forward by hiring Lumina Builders. The remodeling was done on time and budget. The crew was professional and worked in a very clean and good environment. We definitely recommend them for any remodeling project you may have.

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.

We had our bathroom remodeled. From the time we met David it was a very positive experience. He was very creative, courteous, honest, generous, and respectful. We were very satisfied with the entire group Lumina employees. We highly recommend Lumina Builders for any home remodel, and will absolutely use them again for any future remodel. Madeline & Bob V

I personally had the pleasure of working with the owner of the company, David. His work is impeccable. He is very detailed oriented and provides outstanding customer service. His pricing is the best and beyond fair. His customer service made a remodel smooth and easy. Such a humble man and made my entire experience pleasantful. I would use them again and recommend family and friends.

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

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

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!

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.

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.

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

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

We recently completed a full home renovation with Lumina Builders, and we couldn't be more pleased with the results! As first-time homeowners embarking on such a significant project, we initially felt a bit nervous. After obtaining bids from five highly-rated builders, Lumina and our project manager, Tal, truly distinguished themselves. Tal took the time to thoroughly understand our vision and helped us accurately estimate the total project cost, including finishes. Once we chose Lumina, Tal excelled in communication, consistently keeping us informed and ensuring the project stayed on schedule. His professionalism and attention to detail shone through, especially during the walkthroughs to review the progress. Tal's high standards for his team's work are evident in the stunning outcome of our renovation. We are incredibly satisfied with the final result and would highly recommend Lumina Builders!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Beautiful full house remodel. Tal was communicative and always available.

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!!

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

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

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!

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

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.

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 hired Lumina Builders to do a kitchen remodel on our hundred yr old house in north park, after researching many companies. They did major structural and foundation work, rebuilt walls and a roof, in addition to the final interior work. We worked closely with the project manager, Mor, who was fabulous! Also the forman, Chase, and his crew were all very professional and communicated well. During our 3-month remodel we encountered numerous issues and city delays none of us could have predicted. But between us all we were able to put our heads together each time and figure out the best solution on how to proceed. In the end we now have a beautiful dream kitchen, even better than we ever imagined! Charles & Paul

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!

I loved working with David at Lumina! He is always responsive, on time, and considerate. I hired Lumina to add 260 square feet onto the master bedroom and build a completely new master bathroom. The whole project was completed on time, which was much faster than other contractors estimated, and with no surprises. It's been over a year since completion, and I am very happy living in the new space. I'm looking forward to working with David on a couple more remodeling projects down the road.

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

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.

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

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!!

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

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 ! 🙂

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!

Best service I have had! Other I would contact would go around my questions or just plain out never return my calls. David was very attentive and cared about my remodel. 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 remodeled our bathroom with Lumina Builders and we recommend them highly. We picked Lumina from six bids, and theirs was the second lowest. The project started with David, the owner, as project manager, and then it was taken over by Tal. Both were hands on, detail oriented, responsive, friendly, and kept the work flowing. The workers were skilled, competent, professional, considerate and kept the rest of the house and yard as clean as possible. In the end they did an excellent job. The project came in on budget and within the agreed timeframe, even though this was the time when supply chain issues were common in the economy. It took a little over two months from start to finish. We love our new bathroom and we even became fond of David, Tal, and Osman, Solomon and several of the other workers.

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

We hired Ella and Nico from Lumina builders for an extensive remodeling job at our home, the project involved reimagining and remodeling 3 bathrooms and redoing floors in our entire house. Ella and Nico and their crew were extremely helpful, proactive and creative in giving us a finished product that we are extremely proud of. Much of this work was done in our absence, this added the need for timely communication with us. Ella and Nico were spot on in interpreting and implementing 'our' vision for the house, they went out of their way to overcome any sourcing shortcoming and delivered an excellent work product.

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.

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.

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

We 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.

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

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.

Alon was a pleasure to work with! We had a leak in our shower and decided to redo the whole shower. He was faster than promised. Stood by all his words. And we are so happy after finishing the shower, we decided to do a 3D design with Alon for our kitchen to move forward with a kitchen renovation. Alon is super knowledgable and has made the process very easy for us.

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

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

Kitchen Remodel: I worked with my Project Manager Tal Borin. He was professional, thoughtful, and always did what he said he would do. He has good taste and was very helpful in helping to decide colors and tones for the rooms. He suggested little design tweaks that I would have never thought of. From the initial consultation, he was patient and clearly explained how the process works: - he comes in with his designer to gather input and discuss various options - they come up with a 3D CAD design to work out any issues - once we agree on the design, they order they materials and schedule the work crews to come in The entire process took about 10 weeks start to finish. Tal was in constant contact the entire time. Anytime a small issue cropped up, he took care of it right away. The quality of the workmanship is outstanding. The tile flooring and cabinets are especially well done. See the pictures!

Our family just had a highly satisfying first time renovation project with Lumina Builders .... Our old kitchen was modernized and the adjacent toilet was converted to a full toilet and bath. Since we are novice in this area, we utilized help to identify a few builders we can choose from. We invited three (3) contractors and David with Lumina builders was outright impressive.He accommodated all the ideas of family members. His accurate and concrete conceptualization matched our ideas. He verbalized the plans in a very understandable manner with an open mind to suggestions and whims of the homeowner. And the quote was the most fair and reasonable. It is admirable how he orchestrated a pool of workers coming and going.. with synchronized movement. The workers were mostly pleasant and seemed comfy with us hovering sometimes and anxious of the results of the task on hand. The project proceeded well, with minimum lapses. What helped a lot was the accessibility of David who regularly monitored the site and answered all calls and text messages he was courteous throughout the encounter and his "gift" including his person skills facilitated communication to be open. The project was done within the agreed schedule. Since our kitchen and dining area is our "command center" in the house, the fantastic work of art of Lumina Builders make our every minute stay in the place most satisfying and enjoyable. Our family and friends who visited love it.. especially the backsplash and the wide toilet and bath. We will definitely recommend Davids group to our acquaintances.

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.

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

I 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!
