How
is my project supervised?
Murray Lampert
Construction has an in-house production department with a staff
of project managers. Your
personal Project Manger is responsible
for scheduling the trades and materials, meeting the building inspectors,
quality control and completing the final punch list.
Does
someone need to be home during the day when we are under construction?
No. We install
a lock box on site so our craftsmen can come and go as necessary.
Do
you require a down payment?
We do not take down payments on our home improvement contract. Rather, a progress payment schedule is part of our agreement. Payments are made in stages as your remodel or renovation project reaches critical milestones.
How
long will it take to complete my home remodel or home renovation project?
Every job
is unique, so timing is based on the scope of work. As a general
rule, second stories take a minimum of 120 working days, room
additions 80 - 100 working days, kitchens 50 - 75 working days, and total
home renovations 125 - 150 working days. The time frame in which
your project will be completed is in writing on our contract, and
is based on when commencement begins after the building permit
is secured.
What
is your warranty?
We provide
an exclusive 5-year written warranty on workmanship and materials.
Any fixtures or products provided or installed by Murray Lampert
Construction or the homeowner carry their own manufacturer's warranty
and are not covered under the 5-year guarantee.
How
long has Murray Lampert Construction been in business?
We have
been improving San Diego Homes since 1975, when Murray Lampert
founded the company. It is now owned and managed by Gregg Cantor,
Murray Lampert's grandson. Read more
