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.

This job was completely different and involved a remodel where we wanted custom shelves and new windows added in a side room. We worked with Michael again as well as Haley to design the space. We loved the results, and were satisfied with all of the team who were pleasant, professional and did fantastic work. Michael and Haley kept us updated on current events and kept the line of communication open. It was great having them drive the work. In addition, company representatives regularly contacted us to ensure we were happy and if we had any concerns. We will be back!

Full transparency, I hired Need for Build (NFB) twice, so fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice…read more- shame on me. They are a very expensive company, mainly because they sub-contract for larger projects but use day laborers to do a lot of the heavy lifting and groundwork. There isn't any design process. at least none that I have experienced. I got the sense that they were making up the 'how to' portion of the job as they went along. They use, like most companies, salespeople that promise you the moon and they really stress that the thing that separates them from other builders is that they will always be there if something goes wrong with their work - this is the real problem, it's not true at all. When I have contacted them for follow-up, not only are they rude - they're down right mean. Like they are SO annoyed and dismissive once the job has been paid for, that I've ended up hiring other contractors to fix what NFB did wrong - several times. I have called them back out for an exterior security door they installed. The door began to rust within one month (see photos). They came out and spray painted it twice, and when it finally got so rusted (this is all in the course of less than 3 years) that I replaced the door using another contractor, I found out that the original door was just rigged, basically screwed, about 50 times into a wood board that was just stuck inside the vinyl fence post. Since this setup would not allow for a new door installation, I had to pay a separate contractor to remove the old posts and install a new door properly. During this same project, I had exterior drains installed and new concrete where there used to be dirt. A section of this concrete is now sinking and is now an entire inch off grade because a proper foundation was never laid down before the concrete was poured. The last portion of this project was replacing an existing privacy fence that was put up by the previous owners, it was wood and was basically falling off of the supports. I had brick pillars put in with vinyl sections in-between. Caps were never placed on the pillars, as promised by the salesman, we'll call him D1, but this was going to be the least of the problems with the fence as time went on. With no mention of it during the sales pitch as well as the build process, NFB installed an illegal fence that was way higher than the old rotted fence - they're excuse was "it was the only way we could do it". The written contract (see photo) states the height would not exceed 5 feet and the pillars would not exceed 4 feet - well, I got a 6 foot fence all around, not staggered like the original fence, as my street is on a slope. D1 promised, if anybody complains we will be back out to correct it. So, now it looked like a drug kingpin lived here and my house was basically completely obscured and was totally not appropriate for the neighborhood. Well, a few years later, somebody submitted a complaint to the city and I notified NFB. The girls who man the phones (who are always actually very polite and professional) had one of the current project managers call me. Let's call him R1. R1 was confused as to why D1 ever had the fence installed that way and although he never consulted with me about how they were going to fix it, they waited until two days before the city compliance deadline - I had given NFB notice of the city investigation several months prior. Two days before the deadline (one day after they were scheduled to be here - I cleared my whole schedule to meet them on the date they scheduled two weeks prior - nobody showed up and there was no explanation). So, a worker, who was very nice, just like when the fence first went up, just started doing whatever to get the height down to 3 feet. I chatted with him briefly and we had agreed on how it was supposed to go - this was a no-no, because R1 called me yelling at me an hour later saying I was not to speak with the worker, and that I was only to talk with him - problem was R1 was very unresponsive and never did comment on the entire brick pillar that was discovered to be completely loose and detached from its footing once the lowering project began. Long story short, the fence was lowered but now looks completely ridiculous as every single section of the fencing is oriented differently, the support rails are not even - it's ridiculous. I reached out to R1 for follow-up, what a surprise - no response. I am now getting quotes from other contractors to fix this, the quotes are several thousands of dollars. It's strange, when I have had to reach back out to them, since I first hired them in 2021, I call the project manager that I worked with. Both D1 and the second project manager, D2 said the same thing, they no longer work for NFB and D1, in particular, claimed he left because the company was overcharging customers and 'ripping them off'. It's probably good that I still have all of the texts from both D1 and D2.

Ultimately I chose ADR because of my project manager Darrell who was easy to work with, attentive to my needs, paid attention to details, and provided helpful tips and suggestions throughout the experience. For example, he had suggested MSI and Reece Bath & Kitchen to help select materials, and I was able to buy products from Reece Bath & Kitchen that were priced lower than if I bought them from big box stores. I had a very specific vision with choosing the materials, updating the layout, and paying attention to the details -- and Darrell made sure everything turned out right. His crew was very professional and did an excellent job with taking care of the details in the renovation project. I was most impressed when they laid down thick cardboard on the floor to prevent any scratching during the construction. They really take care of their clients. It's also re-assuring to know that they have a 15 year warranty. After the initial install of my kitchen sink faucet, I noticed a drip leak the next day, and the crew immediately came back to address the problem.

I originally planned to use a separate company for the insurance side and hire my own contractor,…read moresince restoration companies can be notorious for subpar work. After tons of research and 10 interviews, Coast to Coast was the obvious choice. Their in-house insurance specialist/project manager setup is a well-oiled machine.

I'm very particular about quality, and whenever I raised a concern, it was addressed quickly and properly. Minimal surprises, flexible throughout, and genuinely easy to work with. I'd absolutely use Coast to Coast again for their insurance expertise, reputation, and service.

I'm the type of person who is very specific about what I want and I did my homework. I got four different bids for this project, and C2C was the clear winner. Their quote was completely itemized--which I appreciated--and ended up being well under every other retail bid I received. Two people really made the difference: Mary and Bolo. Mary is a literal pro when it comes to the insurance side of things. She worked tirelessly on the supplements to ensure we maximized our RCV payout from our insurance. She caught things the adjuster missed and helped us get the settlement we actually needed to do the job right. Bolo, the project manager, was extremely responsive and reasonable throughout the entire build. Whenever a technical issue came up--even complex stuff like electrical circuit stability or specific plumbing heights--he was there to talk it through and get it handled. One thing I will say for people considering them: you need to be the kind of homeowner who has the capacity to stay on top of the work. If you know exactly what you want and you're willing to stay involved in the day-to-day details, C2C is an incredible solution. It's a partnership, and because I stayed engaged, we were able to hit a level of quality that usually costs twice as much. The house looks amazing (see the photos of the Blue Thunder Quartzite and the Jade tile!). They were fair, they were fast, and most importantly, they were responsive. Highly recommend if you want high-end results without the "luxury markup" of other firms.

Construction Tech Isaias Sanchez laid a flawless foundation for the work, and Finish Carpenter Ben Hawes executed the detailed woodwork with absolute precision--his attention to detail is truly impressive. Additionally, Javier Madrigal, the electrician, was efficient, neat, and made sure all the lighting and electrical elements were perfectly placed and up to code.

The company has a deliberate process of material selection, laying out cad drawings and renditions, and a detailed execution and timeline of the 7-week project. The work followed the timeline exactly. The in-house and subcontracted workers were the best - the plumbing, the tilework, the electrical, the cabinetry, the shower glass enclosure, the painting - totally amazing!

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.
