Murray Lampert Construction

I am very pleased at the response and interest of homeowner’s visiting us at the Del Mar Spring Home Decorating & Remodeling Show.  This was the most rewarding show we have done.  We had a past client from 1975 come bye our booth to say high and tell us how they still enjoy the family room my grandfather built.  Another couple from 1989 in South San Diego came by who are ready to remodel their kitchen and bathroom.

Now that summer is near, it is obvious people are ready to improve their homes, and now is a great time while our crews are available and cost are still the low.

As always, we provide in home design and accurate quotes with no up front costs.  A new service we offer is fully detailed color 3D renderings and virtual walk through.

We also build custom cabinetry out of 100% wood product.  Our expertly crafted cabinets carry a lifetime warranty on workmanship and finish.

Meet Bill and Jill who are now enjoying their Second Story room and deck.  From design through construction and unltimatly completion, they thought everybody at MLC handled all aspects of the job very well.   They were very pleased, in fact said they plan on calling us back to discuss their next phase in the long range plan, and that is to add a master bedroom on top of existing single story house.   Thank you Bill and Jill for choosing Murray Lampert Construction to improve your home.

Timeliness

Home remodeling can be a major inconvenience if you hire a incompetent contractor.  Finishing on time should be the norm, not a rarity.  To find out a companies reputation for timely completion, you need to speak to past clients. 

Before you sign a remodeling contract make sure the completion time is spelled out and you fully understand it.

When you are ready to remodel, there are 4 very important things to consider. Quality, Value, Timeliness, and Warranty.

My next blog postings will cover each of these important attributes in detail.
