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

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. read less

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.
