LU Construction

TLDR: LU is BEST in business. Consider them if you want high quality work delivered in time on budget! David and Joey did a phenomenal job and we highly recommend LU construction for your home addition/renovation needs. Wife and I were 5 months pregnant and wanted to add a master bedroom(closet and bathroom) as our family was growing. Ideally we wanted this project to be completed before our babies arrived! Also we were on a budget. Given these constraints, we got quotes from a bunch of construction companies listed on review websites. We picked all the top rated ones and some of them said it's impossible to deliver due to our time(winter rains) and/or budget constraints. This sounds like a build up to my review but it is indeed what happened. We had given up on our hopes our addition and thought maybe the time was not right. But then I found this GEM hidden in some of the review websites. They don't have a whole lot of reviews. But whatever they had (I read each review like 5 times and did some research to make sure these are not fake) were all good. We decided to give them a chance and spoke to Ben and David initially. Keep in mind there are a lot of horror stories about construction projects. Some that never completed. Some that got ripped off by the company and what not. I did not have a single acquaintance who had a positive experience with construction. It was really difficult to trust someone with a big chunk of our money.But going by gut feeling after having met David and all their detailed positive reviews we decided to take the leap of faith. It was also critical for us to finish on time since last thing we wanted is newborns and construction project gone wrong. Joey was assigned as the project manager to our project. As the project started taking shape my faith got stronger since each phase was delivered on time or even before time. Joey was patient enough to explain everything very clearly and thoroughly and going out of his way throughout the project to deliver. They were in "beast mode" starting from Foundation, Framing and all the way up until the finish line. There were a few minor bumps for sure but everything was promptly taken care fof. For example during the roofing, there was one weekend where it rained and caused leak into the house. However, Joey and David ensured they covered for all the damage.Also, I feel like the finish phase could have been handled a little better. But it was bad timing due to Jewish holiday during which most of LU is off. But since they were ahead of schedule it made up for the time lost. Again, there is no such thing as smooth construction project. The most important thing to us was quality of work, budget and time. They delivered a 10/10 on all 3 aspects given our tight timeline, budget and crappy weather. It has been about 2 months since completion and we are extremely happy with our addition. Like I mentioned earlier LU is a gem and definitely deserves 5 stars. I look forward to working with them in future when we are ready for another round of addition/remodeling project. Hope you guys maintain this level of quality and trust as you grow bigger as a company. All the best to David, Joey and rest of the crew!

We decided to extend our home, and we had some concepts in mind. We called a few companies to get an idea and high-level quotes. Looking at online reviews, we decided to get a quote from LU Construction as well. Ben, who is the project manager, came in for the first meeting. He listened to our concept carefully. He gave us a good background of the company. We liked the fact that LU Construction is a one-stop shop from designs, and city permits to construction, plumbing, HVAC, etc. After looking at the scope of our work, which was substantial, Ben decided to involve David, who is the senior manager of the company. When David came in and saw the project, he gave us some suggestions that we had never thought about. We immediately liked his idea and asked them to develop the concept further. They gave us 3D models for a charge, which they waived after we allotted them with the final contract. We are so glad that David gave us that suggestion now that our project is done and we see the benefit of his vision. Ben and David explained to us the process of city approvals and inspections to set expectations about the city's inefficient method of working. It turned out to be accurate, and it was less frustrating because we were prepared. Construction projects are complex. Mistakes can happen. We did have some of the missteps, but what we really liked about LU construction is that they owned them honesty and offered solutions to fix. We never had to argue with them about it. In some cases, they made us aware of the problem that we had not noticed in the first place and fixed them proactively. And there was an instance where we wanted bathroom vanity to be installed in a specific way next to the shower. While they agreed to do what we said, they offered advice about the cons of our approach. We listened to what they suggested, and that was the right decision. Ben is an exceptionally dedicated professional. He goes the extra mile to make sure you are satisfied. In some case, we asked for changes after work was completed, and Ben got it done without any hassles. He maintained a high line of communication and kept us up to date on progress and future work. Ben and David stood by us beyond passing the final inspection. They corrected a couple of things even after all payments were made. Throughout the project, they made sure that we were satisfied. We never felt insecure about LU completing our job. In the end, we are pleased customers of LU and delighted with the final results. Thank you, Ben and David, for all your hard work, dedication, and focus on customer satisfaction.

Currently we are in progress of a full house remodeling/expansion project with LU. We had to move out of our house and 10 month in, we have just passed the Shearwall inspections. The project is still ongoing and I'd like to give this review for what has been completed so far. There definitely has been struggles and hurtles due to structural designs causing delays until now. LU has been very patient through out the issues we encountered. We were behind on schedule due to city inspection and other delays, after inspection was passed, David brought the crews and within 2 weeks, we saw significant progress done on the framing. The subs they use are very knowledgeable and professional. When it comes to discuss on any payment terms, David was present with an open mind and willing to help which made it easy to do business with. The only improvement I would recommend is so far a bit lacking in communication and status updates. I'm very excited to be moving onto the finishing and see the completed transformation of my house in next few months. I will be back after the project completion with an entire review then.

I’m extremely lucky I found Lu Construction. I will be forever grateful to my friend that recommended about Lu construction and specially to Jordan the project manager and his entire team for our remodeled home. We love it!!! The work was extensive as it included remodeling the entire house plus the addition of 400 sq ft. The project included demo of the entire house down to the studs, removing the floor, and removing and/or moving walls. The remodel included the addition of a fourth bedroom including a new foundation for the addition, a new kitchen, two remodeled bathrooms, addition of a storage closet, addition of a pantry in the kitchen, installation of new floor, insulation in the house and garage, all new electrical and plumbing, and re-stucco of the exterior wall including new paint. Jordan basically gave us a brand new home! Since this was my first major remodel, I was very worried especially with all the horror stories I've heard from other people about their experiences with remodeling. The first time I met Jordan, however, I knew he was the one I would chose to fix our home. I told Jordan my budget and what I wanted to have done. During that conversation, he actually 'toned' down my requests (I admit that I went a bit overboard) by offering ways to reduce cost but still get what I wanted. He was very honest and candid which I absolutely appreciated. Jordan gave me a 5 month timeline to complete the project but he finished a little over one month ahead of schedule! Jordan was absolutely great to work with. He was always pleasant to speak with and was so responsive to my phone calls or text - he always responded right away. His crew was also awesome! They were all very polite, experienced in their field, and worked hard. My neighbors consistently commented on how his crew was polite, there by 8a, didn't leave until around 6p, and they always cleaned up before they left. My favorites were the tile and electrical crew. They did such an awesome job with all the tiles in the kitchen and bathrooms and Also was awesome with the electrical especially the lighting! I am so impressed with the quality of work that was done to our home! I would highly recommend Lu Construction to those looking to remodel their home. In fact, I already recommended them to my aunt who will be starting her remodel with them soon. Thank you again Jordan and your team for our beautiful new home!!!

We hired LU Construction to do a large addition to our home adding more living and entertainment space. Ben was very nice and helpful as well as being easy to talk to. He assisted us through the audition process and was always available for questions. The room addition project was completed on time as expected, and we were very happy with the work. I would highly recommend LU Construction to others!!

We worked with Yotam at LU Construction to build a dream kitchen. Yotam was passionate and creative. Throughout the project, he communicated with us daily. He was always true to his word. Thanks to Yotam and his crew, the final result is a beautiful, well-crafted kitchen that we could not have imagined.

I had a wonderful experience with LU Construction. My kitchen needed a serious update, I love to cook and host and I wanted to completely customize it. Yotam listened to me figured out my taste and made recommendations that were right target. The team was amazing, professional and knowledgeable and I can't be more happy with the final result. I would highly recommend LU Construction to my friends and business associates as well.

Great team. Excellent work. We hired LU Construction to help transform a bonus/attic space into a master bedroom with walk-in closet and master bath along with some repair work caused by falling tree damage. The entire team has been friendly, helpful and customer focused. We have been very pleased.

We have used LU Construction for two projects so far and would highly recommend. Our first project was a kitchen and we absolute love it. We have gotten so many compliments on it and appreciate all the extra details. When we were unsure of anything, Maurice would offer suggestions, which helped with decision making. Our second project was a much smaller scale, but the results were wonderful. We highly recommend LU Construction.

I would highly recommend LU Construction for home design and restoration. From the first consultation, to the planning and options stage all the way through execution they were consultative, professional and creative. In particular our lead on the day to day project at our house Ben was exceptional on so many fronts. His dedication, skill and amazing attitude for the length of our build and restoration was very much appreciated and a big reason we love the work LU Construction did.

LU Construction exceeded my expectations. The quality of the work was first class. The crew was always on time and cleaned up the work area daily. LU Construction sent a detailed progress at the end of each week with goals for the following week. David stayed involved throughout the process. Ben is the man. He answered all my questions and resolved any issues I had in a timely manner. My overall experience was great and I would recommend LU Construction to anyone who is thinking about doing a construction project. Detailed oriented is an understatement. LU Construction is #1 in my view.

David and his team are one of the finest architectural firm in the Newark, CA to work with. They are extremely professional in their business and design some of the finest homes in our area and beyond. We have been honored to build some of those gorgeous homes. I would trust them implicitly with designing your dream home!
