    Before

    This review is for Amit and his team. The turn out of all the job that was done was great, very communicative and he works with your needs and budget. Every project was done seamlessly. Thank you. Jobs done: flooring, counter top, island, paint

    Bidet installed by Friendly Remodeling!

    Friendly remodeling is exactly as the Companies name portrays. The company values are perfection, great design and completion in a timely manner. Amit is the greatest. Shimi and his crew are fantastic.

    2nd bath before

    My 2nd bath was completed this month. Asaf and same team were all helpful /responsive and I was very happy with the end product. I highly recommend Friendly Remodeling! They will give you a fair price and do the work well and on time!

    Finished bathroom

    We had Friendly Remodeling remodel our guest bathroom and our family room / entertainment area. As you can see in our pictures, the results speak for themselves. They listened to all our questions and always found a way to make it happen. What you can't see is how responsive they were to questions, concerns, etc. If they were any problems or concerns, they were rectified immediately. Everyone at Friendly Remodeling were great to work with and we will call upon them in

    Bathroom counters

    We did our kitchen counters , remolded our master bath and took out our old entertainment unit! They are outstanding in communication keeping you informed daily on what will be going on and the time they will arrive. Our job was started on the 9th of September and was done on 17th of October! I would highly recommend Friendly Remodeling all of your remodeling projects! They held our "hands" throughout the project! Nate our contractor took us to pick out our tile and countertops on two occasions to make sure it was what we wanted! They are a 5 company and we highly recommend them

    Before and after . Widened doorway, added lighting , bumped out wall on the right
    Q M.

    Bathroom looks amazing. We can see the attention to detail, the hard work, and that they took the time to get it right. The before and after pictures really tell the quality! I love how BRIGHT it is and open. I feel like we utilized every inch of the space to its full potential. One of my favorite things is the gifted quartz bench. It's so pretty and quality and gives a SPA VIBE. Thank you to Amit at Friendly Remodeling! Amit's team: - added lighting to the niche and ceiling - remodeled and tiled our shower - added floating cement for extra straight lines - hot mop for waterproofing - made a shower bench - bumped out the wall - reframed our doorway to widen it - installed the floor - leveled the floor so we didn't need a transition strip (better for future mopping) - fixed all holes and textured the walls the painted everything (painted bathroom, bedroom walls, ceiling, trim, etc) - installed pocket door and lock - hung and centered shelves - installed an anti-fog mirror - installed 2 medicine cabinets for added storage Great value! Thank you always being reliable and on time . 830-9am! Thanks for meeting all 3 inspectors at our house and cleaning up everyday too. Great hardworking crew! JUAN is an absolute PRO -- TILE looks PERFECTION!

    Final look of smaller kitchen project
    Anna B.

    We started this kitchen project (smaller one wall project, no major renovations) back in May. We first started with the Home Depot Design Center but every step started to get way more complicated so we started to look up independent contractors. Contractors are slammed with projects right now so many weren't interested and only Amit and a few others said they were available. After getting some quotes, processes and plans, we thought Amit was the most welcoming and trustworthy contractor to work with. He was very communicative and was always available to chat if we had any questions. Him and his team worked with our schedule and made the final install happen in about 4 days. We also had a small side project that was done efficiently too. We are so happy with the finished product and will definitely work with Friendly Remodeling for any future projects!

    Before

    My husband and I hired Friendly Remodeling at the end of June to renovate our kitchen. They finished at the end of August and we couldn't be happier with the results. They did a beautiful job! They are true artists! They made sure the work was done right. Their price was comparable to other companies we interviewed. They were always quick to respond to our texts and answer our phone calls when we had questions. They also made us feel like family. In fact, we will miss Amit, Shimi, Zack, Horacio, Antonia, and Hugo very much. We definitely recommend Friendly Remodeling for home renovation as when problems arose, their team worked hard to find solutions and complete the project. We love our kitchen!

    Downstairs - after
    Peter M.

    When I started looking for a contractor to remodel my two smaller (yet obviously important to me!) bathrooms in my condo, I requested multiple bids from multiple contractors. Friendly Remodeling provided the winning combination - a good price (neither lowest nor highest), great online reviews, and most important, an eagerness to get my business. This was my first experience with any sort of remodeling, so my top request to Dina, the PM, was patience. I was on no deadline, and did not want to be rushed into doing anything. Dina, and her team, were very accomodating. Excellent communication throughout the process. Hopefully the pictures speak for themselves! The quality of work is superb.

    AFTER:  Master Vanity with shower room bifold door
    Annavic D.

    I have a small townhome and needed both of my bathrooms upgraded. Nate was great. He also included a friend of mine who was helping me through this daunting process. Nate allowed us to have visibility using a group chat. Nate eased my concerns by being available to my questions and by being in constant communication regarding progress and hiccups. He was super easy to work with, even when my schedule was not as accommodating. Nate went above and beyond to provide a high quality solution for challenging situations like a vanity that didn't quite fit and bifold doors that were a bit non-traditional in use. I'm a practical and not showy type when it comes to the home. So simple and clean is what i needed with upgrades behind the scenes. The end result, cost and timing of completion hit the mark. Nate made this a comforting experience and I love the outcome.

    We needed two bathrooms remodeled at our second home in San Diego. After an agonizing failed attempt with another construction company, I was devastated but had to continue the project. I met with several other companies, and while some were convincing, I was still skeptical. When I met Friendly Remodeling, I knew this was it! The knowledge and expertise and evident and not a sales pitch. With Friendly Remodeling, I felt assured throughout the whole process. My bathrooms are absolutely stunning and I'm thrilled with how everything turned out. These people truly are a team of pros. Dina, the project manager, had creative design ideas and took attention to every detail, from lighting to color scheme. She graciously took care of all my questions patiently and thoroughly. I'm so thankful for Friendly Remodeling! No need to look further, this construction company is the holy grail!

    I recently had to gut my house due the flood in January and was forced to rent a place for me and my family to stay while we let our house air out and be disinfected. Due to this I need a contractor who would begin asap but obviously I didn't want to sacrifice quality. Amit came out and gave us an estimate very quickly and offered to start within days. I ended up choosing him and I am very pleased and he finished on time as he promised. I decided I would paint myself since I have a sprayer so his crew even covered all my new flooring they installed so I could paint. Very pleased and I would definitely recommend to anyone needing work on your home! Here's some before and after pics. They dry walled and textured, leveled floors and replaced flooring along with replacing my interior doors!

    Nate, the project manager, was amazing to work with. He was patient and very helpful in guiding me in the process of my kitchen and bathroom renovation. He never gouged me for more money or threw any surprises of extra work or costs. He kept his word and integrity all through our pre-negotiated contract. Further more, he even guided me where I could save costs. For a complete bathroom and kitchen remodel, his crew completed the job fairly quickly in just about a month's time. Nate and one of the other craftsman Ruben were awesome and professional. Their quality on the custom cabinetry and installation of everything I asked for was tremendous. Additionally, Nate worked very well with my HOA. I live downtown in a condominium and it's hard to find contractors that have patience to meet the HOA requirements. His business and professionalism put my HOA at ease and allowed them to get the job done. After everything was complete, Nate did a thorough walkthrough with me and took care of any discrepancies whether minor or major without hesitation. I highly recommend these guys. Would hire them again for any future remodel. Nate's crew is the best.

    When we started, we only knew what we didn't like about our current kitchen. Like any major…read moreproject, we started by reaching out to a couple of vendors to get quotes, that's where we met Alon, the project manager for Lumina Builders. What immediately stood out to us was that he had ideas and solutions to address our pain points and make enhancements, we wouldn't have ever considered, and didn't just wait for us to tell him how we wanted things. He created a vision for us in that first quote visit. The other contractor we spoke to didn't provide any ideas just asked us how we wanted it. It was a very easy decision to go with Alon and Lumina Builders. Our project was estimated to take 2-3 months and ultimately took two and a half months to complete. We designed a brand new kitchen, addressing all of our concerns and adding a few recommendations from Alon to streamline some areas. They ripped everything out aside from the flooring and walls. We got brand new custom cabinets, custom lighting, and new countertops. Our fridge was moved to a new, more accessible area. Our sink was shifted down to align with the stove for continuity sake (never realized how much I hated it being in a corner previously). We had a new little cabinet built in our little breakfast nook area and we had an appliance garage built to house everything that took up counter space. Everything is so much brighter and more open and, even though we know the demensions are roughly the same, it feels so much wider. We are ecstatic with how everything came out. Alon is a genius. He was responsive to us throughout the project, checking in weekly to see how things were going, giving us peace of mind throughout this process, as first time remodelers. We were indecisive about the primary cabinet color (I was very worried we'd be stuck with something we didn't really like) but he worked with the cabinet makes to give us several samples to choose from. He was very patient with us. We LOVE how everything turned out! We'll definitely be using Lumina Builders for all of our future projects.

Alon was in charge and even though…read morewe were overseas, he kept us well informed and up to date on the progress of the project. He sent us progress pics throughout the time of the remodel.

What started as a patio tile removal turned into a much bigger job than anticipated, requiring several days of jackhammering to remove the existing material. The team also removed our old turf and dug down about 7 inches to properly prepare the area for the new installation. They installed the necessary base, DG, gopher wire, and weed control, taking the time to do everything correctly. The new turf is excellent quality, and we are extremely happy with how beautiful and natural it looks. The new pavers were installed perfectly and look absolutely gorgeous! We truly appreciate the hard work, attention to detail, and professionalism of everyone at Beyond Remodeling. A special thank-you to Omri for overseeing the project and making sure everything was done right.

We went with Forever Builders, who also did some demo for us when we first moved in. Among other things, we 1) stripped and replaced the floor, 2) demoed the built-in tub and replaced it with a soaking tub, 3) replaced the vanity countertops, 4) installed a chandelier and sconces, and 5) installed a custom shower door. Steve was our project manager for the entire project, which took 3-4 weeks. We are so incredibly pleased with the result, and just as happy with the service and professionalism we received from Steve and his team. Steve managed every aspect of this complex project flawlessly, stopped by frequently to check progress and QC each phase of work, and was consistently responsive and professional. He took my calls on nights and weekends, and I always felt taken care of and valued as an important customer--such a rare occurrence these days. The craftsmanship was flawless too. I am a detail-oriented person and tend to demand perfection, and Forever Builders exceeded my expectations. As a bonus, they also installed a floating vanity for me in a secondary bathroom, as a complimentary part of the project. Since then, I have also asked Steve and Forever Builders to patch up a huge portion of ceiling drywall at my mom's house that was screwed up by another company, and they did an amazing job with that as well. You will not find a more consistently exceptional company. I'm a customer for life.

Our project manager, Dawn, is great. He is very helpful, responsive and accommodating. Dawn helped coordinate everything from permits and construction to inspection and finalization. He made the process as hand-free for as possible for us. Along the way, Dawn helped us resolve many unforeseen issues and also came up with great creative solutions and suggestions. He was always happy to accommodate any of our requests or feedbacks. We really appreciate his assistance! Our designer team, Ben, Liri and Hodaya, are also great. They came up with beautiful designs for our kitchen and bathrooms based on our preferences. The 3D renders that they made were very helpful in visualizing the designs before we fully committed. They also helped us pick and shop for all materials. Throughout the process, they are very communicative and accommodating. The subcontractors we worked with are all nice and offer good quality work. Dawn did a great job managing and inspecting their work everyday. Unfortunately, we didn't have a good experience with Davozco, the cabinet vendor. Davozco made so many mistakes with our orders.  Notably they shipped us incorrect cabinet door types and refused to replace unless we pay extra. Some brand new cabinets came in with scratches and dings and therefore needed to be replaced. This added substantial delays to our projects. Forever Builders ultimately decided to stop working with Davozco and took all responsibilities/extra expenses to resolve all issues. In construction especially with a big project like ours, we can't expect that everything will go smoothly. We can tell that Dawn and Forever Builders have always tried their best to make sure we are satisfied with everything. Therefore, I recommend Forever Builders if you are looking for a reliable and professional company for your future remodel needs.

    Review Update (2026)…read more I am updating my original 5-star review from a few years ago. At the time, we were very happy with our kitchen remodel and the overall experience working with Creative Design & Build. The project turned out beautifully, which is why I originally left such a positive review. Over the years, however, I noticed that one section of the flooring felt slightly soft when walking on it. At first, it did not seem serious, so we continued to live with it. Recently, the problem became worse and a section of the floor began to noticeably sink when stepped on and eventually a few edges of the flooring broke. At that point, I became concerned that it could become a safety issue. Because we still had plenty of spare flooring boards left over from the project, I attempted to replace the affected board myself. Unfortunately, I was unable to get the new board to fit correctly due to the locking system, and I could not restore the original board either. I then contacted Creative Design & Build for assistance. One reason I reached out was because our original project manager, Oded, had told us that if we ever had any issues, we should contact the company. I left a voicemail and later received a return call from a staff member. After I explained the situation, she said she would check with management and get back to me. A few days later, I received a text message stating that the warranty had expired and that no repairs would be covered. This was disappointing because I had never been informed that there was a four-year warranty period, nor was I able to find any reference to such a limitation in our contract. When I asked for details regarding the warranty and whether they could recommend someone to repair the issue, I did not receive any further response. There were two other issues relating to electrical and plumbing, however we decided to live with that until we had a major problem we needed fixing. I still appreciate the work that was done on our remodel years ago, and our kitchen remains a space we enjoy. However, I have been disappointed by the lack of follow-up and support when a problem arose. My advice to future customers is to make sure all warranty terms, coverage details, and expiration dates are clearly documented and understood before signing a contract.
