Laguna Bay Developing - Newport Beach, California

Derek Speer

My project was an upstairs remodel including 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and stairs. We were working with another contractor until he abandoned the job. So after a difficult exhausting experience, I wasn't eager to look for a new contractor.

I looked for recommendations and researched many contractors including Gio at Laguna Bay Developing. What made me choose Gio was that he is a real person and treats you like one as well. He listens to you to help get to something you will like and he can deliver on. He's realistic and will give you the options of what can be done and what it would cost, allowing you to make decisions that work with your budget.

The project had a good pace overall with people working everyday unless there was a reason for a break(like waiting on material). The quality of work was good and when I would give feedback and ask for correction, Gio would fix them to the best of his abilities. I have a high standard(even more than my budget sometimes haha) and he was always trying to meet them and make us happy.

It was really easy talking about payments, he is fair and open to discuss if there are any concerns. I never though, I'd get through a project without some big issues at the close of the project, but with Gio I shook his hand and told him I would reach out for any future projects. Overall a great experience, especially for a contractor! 🙂

Feel free to reach out to me if you'd like to chat about my experience to aid in your decision making process. Tell him you are looking for the Derek experience and he will know what to do!

We needed our back deck removed and replaced with pavers. We saw representatives from a few companies who talked to us about the work and gave us quotes. We wisely chose Laguna Bay Developing because their quote was competitive and they laid out in detail what they would be doing for us. The whole project was a pleasure. Everyone at Laguna Bay was friendly, knowledgeable and professional. And the result was beautiful. We couldn't be more pleased with this company.

Unfortunately, I did not have a good experience with Laguna Bay. While pleasant to and polite, the work crew was unskilled and much of the work needed to be done more than once. For example, the floor of my shower had to be redone twice before it would drain properly. I've included two photos: an outlet in the room that shared a wall with the bathroom that was pushed out to make room for a pipe, and the hose for the shower head which is upside down. The towel hangers were mounted with screws directly into the drywall (without anchors) and the paint in the toilet area immediately pealed off the wall. The company piled much of the construction debris in my backyard, where it sat for the better part of two months. When I asked when they would fix these and other problems Laguna Bay responded that they could have someone take care of the problems in 10 months. I highly recommend against using this company.

My wife and I have been thinking of remodeling the kitchen for quite some time, and we decided to interview contractors. My wife had a pretty good idea of what she wanted the kitchen to look like, and the first two contractors didn't listen to us. They were trying to push their views on us. We were very discouraged from our experience and canceled our meeting with the last contractor.
A couple of weeks later, my wife talked to her coworker, and she told her she had Laguna Bay Developing construction company remodel her kitchen. We should schedule a free consultation with them.
We met with David, the owner of the company, a young guy full of energy and has tremendous knowledge of construction. He listens to what we wanted and gives some options; after two hours of meeting, David, my wife, and I agreed to hire Laguna Bay Developing. David was there every day, making sure everything is smooth. We had few issues along the way, but David found to each case a quick solution and made the project go very smoothly as he promised. We have been so pleased with them that we ended up doing our master bathroom, guest bathroom, and powder room.
If you want a company you could trust with your home improvement, call Laguna Bay Developing.
David, thank you very much for making Jenny and me our dream home.

Eli at Laguna Bay Developing coordinated two bathroom remodels at my condo. They did one bathroom at a time and the project took 2 months to complete. The tile guys were the very best! I’ve seen horror stories about tile install gone wrong and I feel grateful that their tile guy was top notch because I am very particular. He was helpful with choosing a grout color - something I hadn’t even considered that I would need to do. I went out of town during the project and my water heater broke while I was away. The water heater was old and its failure was not related to this project! Gio saved me a lot of money by coordinating a new water heater install at a significantly lower cost than if I were to hire an emergency plumber. I felt that the guys I worked with were fair and trustworthy, and I would definitely hire them again for future projects. The tile guys came back to replace a couple of floor tiles that got scratched during the cabinet install. Eli did a great job at the end to make sure I was satisfied with the finished product. However the job was completed over 2 months ago and I am still waiting for a couple of cabinet doors to be replaced which were dinged during install. I am happy with my new bathrooms!

We had a great experience with Eli at Laguna Bay Developing when we recently had a new garage door and entry gate installed at our home. Everything went seamlessly with the project from start to finish. Communication throughout the process was excellent. Eli helped us design the garage door and entry gate we wanted and it turned out exactly as we had envisioned. His installers were excellent- prompt, professional, and courteous. The job was completed ahead of time and exceeded our expectations, all at a fair price. We would absolutely use Eli to help us with future projects. Highly recommend!

It is rare to find contractors that actually care about the quality of work they do! Gio is an ethical person we have come to trust. The master remodel job he did for us was top notch.

David Fidman and the team at Laguna Bay are the best contractors we’ve ever worked with. I’d give more than 5 stars if I could. They showed up every day and did excellent work. David is a perfectionist and details matter to him. He kept saying he wanted us happy and in the end, we definitely were very happy with their work. Price was mid-pack but after seeing the quality and work ethic, I think he was the best value. We highly recommend and will use him again for our next project.
