Recommended Customer Reviews

Luis and his team at Lema Construction exceeded our expectations and completed a renovation that created our dream kitchen. From start to finish, Luis and all of his crew were kind, polite, communicative, and resourceful. Any hiccups were overcome with impressive expertise, with never a complaint. We were so impressed with Luis's ability to offer multiple reasonable solutions to any hurdle along the way, and to deliver beautiful results no matter the obstacle.
Additional requests and changes of scope mid-project were accommodated gracefully, prices for added work were fair, and our satisfaction was Luis's obvious focus. We are sure that Luis and Lema Construction will be our first choice when the time is right for our next project.

I purchased a trifold door and hired a terrible company to do the job. In short, door was taken back to Milgard because the initial installers couldn't do the job and we thought there was something wrong with the door. Lema Construction was recommended and what a difference. They did an amazing job and the price was reasonable. I realized he's been mentioned many times, but Luis, and his crew are amazing. I highly recommend them as they are skilled in their trade

I have work with LEMA Construction and Luis Moreno for over 5 years. He is a very dedicated and thorough contractor and we have carried a very professional and respectful relationship between builder and architect

Luis has been remodeling our Montclair (Oakland, CA) home and our parents' Richmond home for the past year. He's completed at least 30 different projects from painting to door installations to electrical to wood floor repair to building a heated room on a hillside home to metal work to pouring concrete to repairing my house's siding to.....
You get the idea. Luis and his team provide a range of services and all exceptionally well. Luis and his team's workmanship, integrity, timeliness, professionalism and pricing are exceptional and we continue to do business with Lema Construction.
I hesitated to post this because Luis is truly exceptional as a contractor and I'm not ready to share him with the world. But he is the real deal: honest, courtesy and a man of his word.

We would love to work with Luis given the all the work we have to do, and the positive recommendations on here look great. Unfortunately, he said he'd give us an estimate after we sent him a photo (rather than coming by in person). Once we sent him the photo, it's been radio silence, despite multiple follow ups. I'm sure there's a reason, but we can't work with someone who is nonresponsive or unpredictable. Total bummer.

We are just wrapping up a whole house renovation with Lema Construction and truly could not be happier with their work and our experience working with them. Luis and his crew are incredibly thorough, responsive, and flexible, and the quality of their work is very high. In several cases they suggested changes that were an improvement to our plans. To top it off they are all genuine, nice people who we really enjoyed getting to know. We felt they had our best interests at heart and could trust them completely.
If you're planning on anything from cabinet work to painting to tiling to a one room renovation to an entire home remodel, we highly recommend them.

Lema Construction just replaced 2 sets of windows in our house and did an excellent job. Luis and his team were a joy to work with, and I felt Luis really went ""above & beyond"" to ensure a) we got what we needed and b) it was done well. Definitely a top notch outfit. I heartily recommend them.

Wow. I'm at a loss of where to start. After seeing all the spectacular reviews (are they fake?) I decided to give this guy a shot. I have contacted Luis so many times but he never follows through on anything he commits to. Consulting with him was a complete waste of my valuable time! Beware because he is incredibly kind on the phone, only thing is I wouldn't hear from him again until I called him repeatedly. I'm not sure why he didn't tell me out the gate that he simply was not interested in the job. He pulled a ""no show"" the first time he was to come and provide me with an estimate which I arranged my entire day to do. He finally returned my phone call that evening saying he was ""at a job site far away and turned off his phone"". Hmmm. Strike one. He then says coming out to my house is unnecessary and instructs me to send him a picture of all the work with descriptions of the work I needed done and he will provide an estimate. I sent 5 detailed pictures and guess what? I never heard from him. Strike two. I have my husband call him again a week later and he confirms he received the pictures and says he will give me an estimate later that day. Guess what? You know the answer! Three strikes and you're completely out with me. He completely strung me along knowing the whole time he didn't want the job. My bottom line is that this man is largely inconsiderate and lacks the common decency to simply say no to a job he doesn't care to do. Zero stars from me.

Luis and his team were the best! They were quick with their work, they were efficient, and extremely polite. Luis' prices are fair and he is an honest and hard working guy. We will definitely use this business for any other needs in our home.

Luis and Lema Construction has just installed Windows and a French door in our home. This company was great to work with. The workmanship was excellent and completed in a timely manner. All of the individuals who worked in our home were respectful of our property and easy to be around. We also used sub contractors recommended by Luis for hardwood floor repair and refinishing, painting and roofing. They too were excellent. I highly recommend this company.
