We were devastated to discover that our home of 30+ years had an unpermitted garage conversion with no Statute of Limitations with the County of San Diego and we wanted to remove the permitted, but structurally failing built-in patio to add a three car garage, workshop, office, swing door pantry, craft room with laundry and a patio, half under roof. Following a search and discussion with several contractors, we decided upon Murray Lampert to address the illegal conversion, demolition and construction of our forever home. Checking references and historical work by Murray Lampert, we contacted Greg Cantor to discuss our needs. We hired one of the best design build firms dedicated to solve problems and build a quality project with minimum issues, thorough communication, flexibility to address latent conditions and changes keeping within a budget and delivering on time. We recommend Greg and his team to give you peace of mind and deliver an incredible product! Amazing professionals looking out for your welfare, minimizing your risk and bringing home your project with little drama! We recommend Murray Lampert without reservation! More...

We recently completed a project with Murray Lampert. Two load bearing walls were removed to make way for an open concept first floor and the kitchen was relocated to the opposite side of our home.

From the start we were impressed with the integrity & professionalism of each of the ML team members we worked with. We were invited to their office to meet everyone and spent a good amount of time with Gregg Cantor, who walked us through the “ML way”. Gregg remained accessible and engaged throughout the project and spoke with pride about the long family history of their company and their effort to grow happy clients. Rachel and Hope were fantastic with their architecture and design. They were honest with their ideas yet mindful of our personal taste and vision and gave us just the right amount of nudging when they felt we may be getting off track with our choices. Our project manager, Patti was amazing and was the one who lived in the trenches with us. She was at our home every day, coordinating, checking, watching, planning and above all – communicating. She is a dynamo; positive, trustworthy, mindful and packed full of knowledge. She has a great relationship with the sub’s and trades-people who also, were kind, professional and just so easy to be around. We quickly got a feel for the appreciation and respect the trades-people have for the ML team and vice-versa and this spoke volumes about the industry reputation of Murray Lampert.

There was a consistent and high level of communication from start to finish & we were never left to wonder where we were with the project or what was coming next. We received weekly updates; people were here when they were supposed to be; everyone knew what the other was doing; the house was left clean and well cared for each day. At no time were we upsold and in fact they proactively looked for ways to save money where we could.

When considering this project, we knew the design build concept was for us and we were right to go this route. We were continually amazed to see the level of detail & coordination that goes into a project like this. There is no way we could’ve managed contractors and subs on our own, both from a knowledge & time perspective. There were what seemed like a million details, all perfectly managed by our group.

The bid for the job was an accurate depiction of the cost and there was no low-balling upfront, only be surprised with additional costs and expenses throughout the project. Our experience was exactly the opposite – the price was the price. In our opinion, they provide the best value & overall experience. Our project went smoothly and stayed right on track. It was completed just before their projection. Our neighbors frequently commented on the pace and quality at which our project was progressing. Having heard many, many horror stories of remodels, we were certainly prepared for the worst. We were quite nervous at the size and scope of this undertaking (gigantic for us, though not uncommon for them) but truly, there were no “OMG” moments. We love our beautiful new home and it is exactly what we envisioned when we set out on this journey months before the first hammer was thrown. We were treated fairly, had a wonderful experience and have no regrets or reservations about the company we chose. These guys are pros. Thank you ML! More...

I hired Murray Lampert to do a major remodel of our home in 2008. Given our home was built in 1932, it was a very difficult and ML did a great job in rolling with the punches that the old house continually threw at them.
Fast forward to today, we discovered some in-wall damage that had been caused by the way the roof was finished during the remodel. Although the job was well out of ML's warranty period, they stepped up and split the cost of the repairs with us.
If dealing with a contractor that is reputable and willing to stand by their work is important to you, then you should consider Murray Lampert. More...
