    Finished Shower
    Tiffany H.

    I met Paul through my neighbor who was remodeling his shower. We had a previous contractor who built us a shower and it had to be ripped out and redone. Awful. Paul and his crew were such a blessing for us! Every aspect of the rebuild went so smoothly and without incident. His workers were kind, respectful, and kept our house clean. Owner Vito, of Espinoza Tile, did such an amazing job on our tile! The shower looks fantastic!! They even cleaned my bathroom floor and toilet when the job was done! Now that is service. Paul was ahead of schedule too. I highly recommend Murphy's Construction for your shower remodel! You won't be disappointed.

    Paul did a complete update of our hallway bathroom last November, and we are so pleased with how it came out. The pricing was reasonable, and Paul worked with us to make good choices for our budget and style. He took care of everything except for buying the materials, and kept to the schedule we discussed and the estimate he gave us up front. He was very careful to keep his work area clean and let us know in advance when there would be noisy work (my husband works from home) or a loss of power or water. He and his co-worker were professional, courteous and very skilled. Bathroom was absolutely spotless when they were done. I can't wait to have him redo our master bath soon!

    Finished tub to shower conversion

    We found Paul by Googling and are really lucky that we did because we LOVE how our project turned out. We had a big white tub/shower combo and white tiles that were old and ugly. Paul brought his team in and did an amazing job. There are many different steps required to complete this job: demo, framing, plumbing, hot mop, tiling, finishing work, etc. and each person on the team was professional, efficient, and highly skilled. The end result speaks for itself and we couldn't be happier with everything including the price!

    This is how the bathroom started.

    We found Paul on next door and I am so glad that we did. We needed a tub to shower conversion done in the guest bathroom and got a couple of quotes from some people whose relatives were probably snake oil salesman. Paul on the other hand was straightforward, honest, and reasonable with regards to the quote. My husband is very handy and prefers to do the work himself to ensure quality control but Paul and everyone that works his jobs is amazing at what they do. Believe me. We have done our own plumbing, dry wall, demo work, concrete pouring, and tile installation. Everyone on this job site from the demo guy, the hot mop guy, the tile guys, and Paul were all consummate professionals. They were all very approachable and took time and care to do their job and to not cause any undue destruction of anything else at my house. Additionally, someone was working at my house every single day so that my tub shower conversion only took 1.5 weeks. Paul's website has a lot of great photos of the work he's done which is a good place to get ideas. And Paul himself has a lot of helpful information having done a lot of bathrooms over the years. For instance, when I asked his opinion on black floor tiles in the shower, he told me it will more readily show soap scum and hard water stains. That's valuable information. I have already recommended Paul to a friend who is planning on remodeling her bathroom and plan on having him redo our other bathroom. I really can't say enough good things about his work.

    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. They worked very cleanly and left everything spotless when the job was finished. You can really tell they take pride in their work. 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.
