Lema Construction
Company Overview
Based in San Leandro, CA, we are a family-run general contracting business. For more than 15 years, we have specialized in home upgrades and minor commercial projects.
Founded in 2005 by Luis Moreno, our journey began with just a two-person team. Our dedication to quality control, growth, and customer happiness has significantly boosted our reputation. We now have a team of more than 15 dedicated individuals and promote a friendly, secure workplace.
I established this company to pursue new business opportunities and create a stable life for my family. Before launching Lema Construction, I honed my skills as a tradesman, which prepared me for the construction industry. My enthusiasm for this work and the knowledge I gained have shaped Lema Construction into what it is today.

Recommended Customer Reviews

We used Lema for the first time recently and were thoroughly impressed. Luis came to our house to meet and followed up shortly with an estimate. He was kind, courteous and knowledgeable. We had his team do electrical work on our bathroom, hallway and replace old light fixtures. They explained exactly what they're going to do and checked in with us from start to finish to make sure it was all up to par. They are truly perfectionists and even came back to patch up a few things they noticed that even I didn't. I would 100% recommend them and look forward to scheduling our next project soon.

I had my fence re enforced. They did a professional job, on time and quality as agreed.
I highly recommend LEMA.

My husband and I recently completed an addition to our house with LEMA construction and we are extremely happy with their work. I didn't know where to start, I tried calling other contractors from Yelp, some of the contractors listed with ""5 stars"" hung up on me after I told them I didn't have architectural plans yet. I felt very disappointed and overwhelmed. Luckily, after talking to a co-worker about my plans to add to my house, they referred me to Luis Moreno. Luis guided me through the whole process, he even referred me to an Architect that was affordable and a pleasure to work with. Luis is kind and understanding, qualities that are hard to come by with contractors. Luis worked with us to stay within our budget and we couldn't be happier with the outcome of our addition. Also, his workers are very nice and hard working. I would not think twice about hiring LEMA for future construction work.

We were lucky to have Luis and his crew replace seven second floor windows. Their quality of work and speed were impressive. They were very cooperative in working around every issue, working with the City of Alameda for permits, and other contractors working on different projects simultaneously on our home. I would definitely hire them again.

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.
