    Front gate
    Karl F.

    Fred and his team did an outstanding job repairing our front and side fence gates. Fred was very responsive, friendly and very efficient. They competed the job over two days, and left a very clean work area after the job was done. Fred did everything while I was at work, and didn't even bother my wife at home who was on vacation! The wood looks great (smells amazing too!) and the cost was reasonable. Highly recommended. Thanks Fred!

    I really needed to get my grandmothers fence door fixed because it was falling apart. I worked with a man by the name of Fred and I experienced the most positive experience. Fred was very communicative and provided exceptional customer service. Fred offered me various solutions to fix the fence based on what I wanted and could afford. He even FaceTimed me while I was working to show me the issues with the fence and to explain which things need to be done for future jobs on the fence for better security. I would highly recommend this company if you're looking for a contractor. I have work with many contractors and this was the most positive experience that I've had in a long time. 10/10

    Great, fast work in building a side-driveway fence! Would recommend! Fred installed a 30' wood fence with metal posts in one day. Looks great!

    I had several inquiries about my project and only Fred came out to look at the project. Replace a gate and fix a plank in another gate. Fred was knowledgeable and friendly. Made me feel at ease. I did contract with him and he did the job in 1/2 a day. Outstanding work. He explained the issues with the gates and how to prevent the same thing from happening again. I highly recommend Fred and will hire him again for future projects.

    This used to be a broken leanning fence, now it looks new.

    The whole team performed great! From a very professional, detailed quote. To flexibility in the changes to the quote, as well as the flexibility to dealing with 2 storms! **Note to costumers, Fred can't change the weather but he'll make sure your project is done thoroughly.** An easy choice for anyone trying to get a project done but cannot be onsite, while I was across the country I was updated at key points in the project.

    Fred is wonderful to work with - professional, friendly and super adaptable. He and his crew demolished my old termite ridden fence, replaced it and had it painted in three days! They hauled away all of the old material and left the yard perfectly clean. There were challenges that Fred met without fuss - huge bamboo bushes very close to the fence. I don't know how they did it but they managed the get behind it and replace and paint the fence - no small task! His prices are very reasonable too! Highly recommend!

    Replaced fence, perfect, and ready for paint.

    I reviewed estimates from different companies, my neighbor and I went with Fred's company. Not only did he provide insight to my previous, collapsing fence, but he gave me solutions/ options, did not give me any pressure, and answered all questions. I reviewed a detailed, digital quote with the price for work, and it was easy to see everything before making a decision. The tear down of the old fence went smooth, they hauled it as well. I'm very glad we went with galvanized posts, instead of pressure treated wood. Communication was great, and the work crew was extremely nice and professional. Anyone looking for a fence repair, should definitely give Fred and his crew a call. Their price is great, as is the quality of their work. My daughters and I, are about to paint and my hope is, your next fence project, is with Fred and his crew. -Eddie

    Wonderful Fence installation and design! Fred was extremely responsive and helped to guide the decision making process

    Fred and his crew installed my 2 gates on time and on schedule. The gates are well-constructed and very sturdy. I picked Alpha Hanyman because when talking to Fred I could tell he knew his trade really well. After I found Fred on Yelp, I stopped looking for a contractor. The gate posts are mounted in cement. I opted for pressure-treated wood constructed in the picture frame style. The pane next to the stucco is floating off the 4x4 post. Everything is to SD city code and Fred explains the options very well. I am pleased with my gates and would use Fred's Alpha Handyman again.

    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.

His team, Ali and his dad, were incredibly nice and professional as well. Their attention to detail was impressive, and they made sure everything was done properly and exactly how we wanted it.

Great quality, great communication, and an overall excellent experience. I highly recommend Ben and his team!

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.

Based on that storyline, they're refusing to take responsibility for the flooring damage. The windows were installed without permits. I brought in four independent inspections, including three licensed general contractors and one home inspector. All confirmed active water intrusion and pointed to the window installation as the likely source. Despite that, Forever Builders continues to deny, redirect, and avoid addressing the actual installation. The floors never had water intrusion before the remodel. The problem started after their work. Instead of owning it and fixing it, they've chosen to argue technicalities and wait for CSLB to force the issue. For a company that promotes itself as 5-star, this has been anything but. When serious defects surface, there's no urgency, no accountability, and no effort to stand behind the work. Just excuses. That is not 5-star service. That is not what integrity looks like.

    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.
