Get matched with top addition to existing structure builders in San Clemente, CA

"I hired Brian Thomas from February 2020 through March of 2020 and here are the reasons why I do not recommend using this company: 1. The contract I signed with them was for one year, 12 months, of SWPPP inspections, for which they quoted me $13,390. After less than 2 months worth of work, when I had to end the contract, they had already billed me $14,422.61. 2. Part of those charges included a $1,119.34 charge for “material markup”. They had stated that the materials they were going to provide, for erosion control, were going to be supplied at cost. When asked about this “markup” charge they stated “we charge a 15% mark up on materials”, because “ordering your materials puts a potential burden on the company”. So that is what this company means when they say “at cost”. 3. When Brian Thomas first came to my site to start the work he stated that he was there on his own dime “to help”. On his final bill he included two charges totaling $595 for such visits. When asked about these charges their response was: “[Brian] did not state that he was consulting free of charge” and “if you hadn’t removed us from the project after just a month of being on it, Brian may have been willing to remove those charges”. So that is what this company mean when they say “we are here to help on our own dime”. 4. When asked about the $5,000 worth of inspections they performed in just over a month their response was to send some documents so that I could “educate yourself on what is required per your SWPPP”. The company I was using to perform such inspections, and who I re-hired after I terminated Brian Thomas’ contract, charges me $1,000 to perform the same inspections. In other words Brian Thomas charged me 5 times more than an average company does. Brian Thomas will use their “knowledge” of the requirements for these inspections to charge you as much as they possibly can even though the State does not require that many inspections. 5. My relationship with Brian Thomas started to fall apart when they started to push additional services on me. I’ve had a grading company doing most of the work for my grading project for over a year (and I am about 2/3 done with the project). First Brian Thomas suggested they had a crew of people that could install BMPs, something my grading company was already doing, and then they even suggested that I should fire the grading company I was using (because they were incompetent). Having the same company that performs inspections also perform the work needed to pass those inspections is a conflict of interest: you are essentially creating work for yourself. But that is how Brian Thomas works. 6. When managing a grading project there are 2 main inspections you need to perform: a SWPPP inspection and a grading inspection. Brian Thomas can only perform one of them: the SWPPP inspection. If you are planning on doing a grading project I recommend getting a company that can perform both inspections, like the one I am using, and not a company that can only perform one of them, like Brian Thomas. This was my experience with Brian Thomas. If you chose to use them for your project may you have a better experience."

"Easy to work with, fantastic results. The finish on our saltillo tile floors had badly deteriorated and they were able to ressurect it. And their price was quite reasonable."

"Wonderfull experience, very polite friendly, honest."

"Our backyard remodel with D2A Construction was a fantastic experience. Dani was our point person and made everything so easy. He was professional, patient, and made sure we were comfortable with every decision. The crew worked quickly but never rushed, focusing on quality and details. From the new patio stones to the outdoor kitchen area, everything was executed perfectly. Communication was excellent, and we never felt out of the loop. The site was always clean, and the whole process felt seamless with no hidden fees or surprises. Definitely recommend them for anyone looking for quality and professionalism!"

"Laguna Bay Developing Company recently demolished my old balcony and installed a brand-new one that looks absolutely fantastic. From start to finish, the team was friendly, professional, and respectful. They stuck to the agreed budget without adding costs through scope creep, which gave me great peace of mind. I was especially impressed with how courteous they were to our neighbors and how well they kept to their schedule. The entire process was smooth, and the results exceeded my expectations. I wholeheartedly recommend Laguna Bay Developing Company to anyone looking for quality workmanship and reliable service."

"After they redid our counter tops and island, we had them paint out cabinets and build shelves up to the ceiling. The communication was on point this time and the results speak for themselves. Would definitely recommend them to anyone for any home project. "

"My wife and I were looking into adding some square footage to our home as well as remodel. We were going in circles trying to plan and budget and it honestly was one of the most stressful/hardest experiences of our marriage. That was until we stumbled upon Opulent. I do not remember how we found them, but man, I am so glad we did. Eddie and his whole team were OUTSTANDING throughout the whole process. They really made us feel like we were part of the Opulent Family as well as producing real results. They managed EVERYTHING just about perfectly. From dealing with the permit process to helping us figure out what we needed to fill our space with beautiful fixtures to actually getting the construction done. The preconstruction process was so simple thanks to their amazing team and construction flowed so smoothly. The field workers were respectful and clean every day. 10/10 cannot recommend enough. Thank you Opulent!!"
