Praise from our Clients

Kitchen Renovation

“Lauren Hesse Design Build Firm was a great help in adding more cabinetry to my main floor kitchen and a bar area for entertaining. This incredible addition added much-needed storage and perfectly matched the original cabinetry.”

– Gail

Main Floor Design Build Enhancement

“Lauren and her team were wonderful to work with. Our project wasn’t home renovation, but her design insight and suggestions were incredibly helpful in increasing the functionality and design of certain areas of our home. She was understanding of our budget and need for practicality given that we have small children.”

– Martha

Basement Renovation

“Lauren completed a full renovation of the basement in the “old” part of our house which dated back to the 1940s and had become a collection area for anything we were reluctant to throw away. In that we were away during much of the process, she managed the project independently while all the time referring to us for significant design decisions. We now have a contemporary work out and storage area which is a tremendous enhancement to our house overall.”

– Thomas
