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 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.

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.

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

Ella and Nico 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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

We 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!

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.

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

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

We added on 280 square feet to our house. Overall my wife and I really like it. We had some difficulties, but I think that's to be expected on a project this size. David missed a few things, but he made up for it by doing a lot of extra work free of charge. He works hard to keep you happy. One last thing I would recommend is if you're doing a big project, meet with him regularly to keep an updated list of things you need to buy in the coming week or two. There were a few times where we had to make purchases in a hurry.

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

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.

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

We 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!
