Areas Of Satisfaction

Areas Of Satisfaction - The customer service with Lisa, Rachel, etc., coming through and doing the punch list was awesome. They found things that I would not have known to look for and ended up with a great finish to the project.

Why Us?

Why Us? - I felt like the team came to meetings prepared, had great ideas, a realistic timeline and budget, and everyone was very courteous and wanting to meet my expectations. From my first meeting with Rachel and Gregg to the end, I was very happy with the team, especially Roberto, Jensen and Brandon with whom I had the most interaction.

Unique issues (3 project managers) covid delays, gaps in work progress, a few errors (wrong slider, wrong bathroom window, one design error), and slow punch list completion would be caveats to the beautiful job when completed

We wholeheartedly recommend Murray Lampert Design & Build for any home remodeling needs. We bought our home 18 years ago and just made minor improvements since then, putting off til a later day all the things we wanted to do to make it more livable. Life with two active kids took over and delayed any renovation plans. Now, being empty nesters, the time finally arrived for us to take the big step and do what we’ve been dreaming of for years: remodel most of our house (including removing walls), going open-concept with a great new kitchen, moving a bathroom, a complete plumbing overhaul, and more.We started our conversation with Murray Lampert knowing they’d done beautiful work in the neighborhood for several friends, and knowing how much they valued their work and relationship with the Cantor family, owners of Murray Lampert. My husband and I met with Rachel Cantor, their Director of Design, and explained what we were hoping to achieve. She returned shortly with a realistic estimate that helped guide our conversation further. Doing our due diligence, we interviewed other construction companies but always came back to Murray Lampert. The detailed information we received, the warmth we felt from the Cantor family, their commitment to our satisfaction (and budget), countless recommendations from friends, their stellar reputation in the design community, combined with the reasonable price, sold us. From the beginning, we knew we were in good hands. Gregg Cantor provided great oversight of his team, always checking in and staying on top of what was happening with our project. The entire team took ownership of our happiness and care of our home and family. They took on managing an overwhelming process and schedule, leading us step by step and keeping us on target. Another Rachel (Bancroft) was our ML designer and she was amazing, providing terrific insight and putting up with constant questions and several changes. The 3D modeling was a fantastic tool, helping clarify the vision and projected outcome. Budget was important to us and the ML team kept us on target, with Lisa Cantor keeping the finances straight. Daily updates on the construction from Don our project manager kept us looped into what was happening. Communication is critical to any big project, and everyone on the ML team was an expert – responding promptly to any questions and keeping us constantly informed. Our beautiful project was finished on time and on budget.In the end, we’re so incredibly happy with our remodel! We feel like we live in a brand new home…modern, bright, and completely in line with all our dreams. And we’ve made some great new connections with the Murray Lampert family – we know who we’re calling if we start having any new ideas!

Lead Source

Lead Source - Advertisement led me to research the firm and its experience and history. My inquiries were all very positive especially their working relationship with the permit agencies!

Why Us?

Why Us? - Their experience and relationship with the San Diego County Building/Permit division was essential to address our original house purchase in 1985 that we subsequently discovered had a garage conversion without a permit by the previous owners. Further, there was no statute of limitations to address the illegal conversion.

Areas For Improvement

Areas For Improvement - None and exceeded our expectations in dealing with the US Bank funding program, thanks to Lisa Cantor! County Permitting became very difficult through no fault of Murray Lampert personnel and they were diligent in their persistence of permits!

Areas Of Satisfaction

Areas Of Satisfaction - We especially appreciated the handling of unexpected changes and additional work requirements. Additionally their prompt communications kept us thoroughly in the loop to avoid any confusion minimizing delays and reinforcing its efficiencies!

Additional Comments

Additional Comments - Interestingly we became closer to a number of people that we never thought would become the case in a short term business relationship. We could not help feeling like we had joined with a family group committed to an excellent project and very personal service. They addressed our issues and anxieties with professionalism and diligence!

Why Us?

Why Us? - Michael responded to our online inquiry same day...on a Sunday! We were impressed with Murray Lampert's team approach...having the clients meet with the entire team prior to making a contract decision.

Areas Of Satisfaction

Areas Of Satisfaction - The team was very responsive to any questions or concerns we raised. We LOVED our project manager, Patti Atwell, because of her expertise and energetic personality. She kept us informed, kept things on track, and quickly addressed the few hiccups that happened along the way. We enjoyed working with Patti, Cameron, Rachel, Hope, Michael and Gregg. Our friends and family have been amazed with the transformation of our house.

Project Manager

Project Manager - 4 plus!

Areas Of Satisfaction

Areas Of Satisfaction - I was very satisfied overall. They cleaned up well, and Patti kept me informed.

My overall experience with Murray Lampert was good. Since this was our second time using Murray Lampert, I expected a little more. As with any remodel, issues will arise. I understand that. But it is how these isues are handled. I think the quality of our custom cabinets is very poor. LTD's (cabinet people) customer service is also poor. We are still having issues with our cabinets. So the question that comes up is...Will I use Murray Lampert again? The answer...If I have another project, I will definitely get a quote from Murray Lampert and compare it to at least two other companies. If I need some sort of cabinetry, I would not use LTD. Murray Lampert would have to use another cabinet company.

We have had two projects handled by Murray Lampert Design, Build, Remodel and could not be happier. The first project was a major kitchen and dining room overhaul that also involved new flooring and plumbing throughout the house. In addition to normal remodel woes there was also a mold exposure problem. They helped in every area and made sure that everything was handled properly assisting us with insurance and remediation issues. Our second project was a complete overhaul of our master bedroom and bath. Since we were so happy the first time, there was no question of us using them again. Once again they proved themselves and did a marvelous job. I highly recommend using Murray Lampert.

The subcontractors were diligent and friendly. Joe, Steve, and Frank were exceptionally friendly and qualified and a pleasure to work with. In all, our addition finished almost in half the time that was originally quoted, and also to perfection. Truthfully, we wish we had another project - we're going to miss everyone!

We had complete trust with Murray Lampert and they exceeded our expectations. The professioanlism exhibited from the very beginning with the design of our project and the review of the contract was so thorough we felt extremely confident we were in the right hands. Communications were exceptional with our project manager, Steve Law and the work ethic of many of the subs was impeccable. The craftsmanship on all elements of our home is outstanding. My husband and I both get up every day and say how much we love our home.

Murry Lampert Construction recently completed a beautiful remodel of our master bathroom. We were completely satisfied with the process from planning, execution to completion. This was a total cradle to grave operation with nothing left to follow up or complete at a later date. The team was outstanding and I would recommend them to anyone looking for work to be done on or in their home!

I contacted 4 top contractors in San Diego area to do our construction project. After their presentation of their plan, Murray Lampert stood the best especially the cost of the project. The quality of the work, cost and early completion of the project makes us happy of the right decision that we made why we choose Murray Lampert among other contractors. The Murray Lampert team are very good communicators. We are always informed every phase of the project. We were given an opportunity to upgrade or change the materials was put into the project. We received a lot of positive compliments the quality and workmanship of the project.

Additional Comments

Additional Comments - Thank you to all at Murray Lampert for helping me turn my house into a home.

I am a single female homeowner and wanted a remodel/addition. Naturally, as a woman, I was afraid of being cheated, and as a reserved personality, afraid of being put off while the " squeaky wheels" got all the attention.What I hoped a reputable company like Murray Lampert could do was to treat me the same as any assertive male customer. What I got was beyond my hopes. Murray Lampert actually made me feel like I was their ONLY customer!Beyond the beautiful work that they do, beyond the courteous & thorough workmen with whom they contract, beyond the surprising speed of construction, they will put your mind at ease at every turn so that you are never afraid. To me, that was worth everything.I have another addition planned in the future, and you can be sure Murray Lampert will be my heroes again!
