The project included bathroom remodeling, kitchen remodeling, new flooring throughout the house, and interior painting.

The workmanship exceeded our expectations, and every part of the project was completed with care and precision. The crew maintained a clean and safe work environment every single day, which made the remodeling process much less stressful for our family.

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.

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.

I had a few contractors provide quotes, his was not the cheapest but I chose DWJ because they showed up professionally, on time and super responsive. If you've dealt with contractors before, you know how important this is for a peace of mind. I hired them to refinish old oak floors of an home I purchased, the results are exceptional. They sanded everything down beautifully and applied 4 coats of Bona Traffic HD in a matte finish. The matte look is exactly what I wanted, and the durability of the Traffic HD is top-tier. What impressed me was the owners attention to detail, he personally came to check the work between each stage. Once the old coating came off, he discovered some minor termite damage on a few planks. He replaced those three planks for no additional cost, and the repair blends in so perfectly it looks brand new.

We did a large and complex remodel that involved moving interior walls, demo down to studs, new appliances, new floors, electrical and plumbing. We lived in the front part of our home while the construction was completed, so we had a front row seat to the process and navigated people working while we were home for months. If a remodel was going to go south, this would have been it. It didn't, and the final product is remarkable. There are so many elements I could speak to, but this review would be too long! I'll hit the highlights as they are worth mentioning: Price: Let's be real, cost is a central component to a remodel. Ed Brasseur was up front with us about costs, including the possibility things could cost more than expected. When prices changed, because of the market (labor, cost of lumber, etc.) or because of our choices, he let us know right away. He helped us source local vendors and made practical suggestions for where spending money was worth it and where it wasn't. Communication: I think Ed Brasseur is a straight shooter. He let us know the best ways to reach him (text vs email vs calls) for each type of concern, he was available, and his tone was helpful, kind and direct. It's a balance I haven't found in another contractor. He was also clear about timelines, payment, and kept us posted as things progressed. The Work Itself: Our home looks amazing. It is like a different house! They supported our design choices, checked in with us as they went, and made detailed suggestions that enhanced our ideas. I cannot express it well enough, so I've included some before and after pics below. The People: There are some stellar folks working with Ed, and they deserve direct shout-outs in this review: Eduardo: Eduardo is a solid team leader. He was clear, helpful and hopeful when we had concerns. When something needed to be managed, he said "no problem" and he meant it. Interactions with him felt both authentic and professional, and his work is really good. He delegated well and stepped up to handle things himself when he needed to. That's gold in a foreman. Erick: There is a real pride in the craft evident in Erick. He has a mix of a clear work ethic and a sense of humor. That made a big difference in our day-to-day experience. Working in someone's home while they are there, working from home themselves, is no easy task. He handled it personably and professionally. (PS: Our closet is great, Erick!) Moises: If you want someone to do the work both quickly and well, Moises is your man. He got right to the task, was efficient, detailed, and he's just a nice guy. He protected our furniture and other property when things needed to be masked and covered, and, to be frank, we could tell he gave a shit about us and the project. Thanks, Moises. There are others I could name, but I think the gist is clear: this is a good team, led by a solid foreman, directed by the head of a company who really knows what he is doing. Thanks, y'all. You changed our home, and made a difference in our day-to-day life. We appreciate you and all your work.
