TESTIMONIALS

WE WERE AWARDED…


Positive: Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality, Responsiveness, Value

We highly recommend LU Design Build. They completed our whole house remodel including all three floors, a gut-rehab of our basement, moving load-bearing walls, remodeling the kitchen and bathrooms, as well as adding a covered deck.

LU presented the most innovative layout design when other firms we had bid the work chose to stay within the lines. Everyone on their team was collaborative, calling out opportunities to optimize our build. From design to project management, to carpenters to painters to electrician and the rest, all the team members were excellent.

A notable reason we recommend them is for how they handled two issues (a very small number considering the scope of the project). They presented options to resolve and told us the most important thing was that we loved the home. No hassle, just getting it done right.

LU is not an inexpensive contractor, but they are extremely high value.

We had the BEST experience with LU! We are thrilled with the results and loved everyone who worked on our project. We will be using them again in the near future!

— Lynn


LU DESIGN BUILD did a wonderful job on our renovation. Our project included first floor layout changes including updating our kitchen, fireplace remodel, expanding our master bathroom, creating a mudroom and powder room. They made the whole process go smoothly and we loved everyone on their team.

Their team is very professional, with high quality design, project management and construction, and the overall project was well priced.

I highly recommend using them for your next project!

— Jenna Polk


LU Design Build did an excellent job of taking our vision of a finished basement that extends to outdoor living space from concept to reality. Jennifer did an excellent job of understanding our likes and style and helped to create the perfect layout and finishing touches throughout. We were presented with options along the way which streamlined the entire design and build process. As we moved into the build phase of the project, Adam kept us updated on the progress on a daily basis and we always knew where things stood as far as what work was being completed when. The quality of the work that the team did is evidenced throughout. We are so happy with how the space turned out and can’t wait to enjoy it for years to come. We would highly recommend LU Design Build and look forward to working with them on future projects as they arise.

— Alyssa Allaria


We had a great experience with LU Design Build. From the first meeting with Luke and Jennifer, to the final walk through and even after that, they were wonderful.

We interviewed 2 other companies, but liked their approach and proposal the best. Jennifer was great about sending us 3-4 plumbing, light and cabinet fixtures, so we weren't overwhelmed with choices but had enough options.

Adam, our project manager, was on top of everything. The Basecamp app made communication easy and timely, and provided one easy place to find everything about the project.

We are considering a deck redo and in a few years, the kitchen, and will definitely be contacting them as our first choice.

— Anita Schnapp


LU Design completed a kitchen renovation for us. We were completely satisfied with all aspects of their work from the design phase through completion of the project.

We changed the footprint of our kitchen and family room and Rochelle did a great job designing a space to match our vision and needs. Adam and the construction team are all very skilled, conscientious, and take pride in completing the job perfectly.

They were respectful of our home and family and we enjoyed having them work on our project. All of our questions were answered promptly.

We would highly recommend LU Design to our friends and family for any type of home construction or renovation project.

— Joan Deelo


We loved working with Jennifer from LU Design Build to design our master bath! Our finished product turned out amazing. Having a team of experienced people made the whole process so much easier!

LU Design Build is a first class company attentive to all my needs from beginning to the end. They completed remodeling my kitchen, flooring throughout, installation of bath vanity, and several extra needed jobs were done with perfection. The superior craftsmen we’re reliable, courteous, punctual and trustworthy. Many times I would not be on site.

Daily updates kept me informed as to progress and what would happen next. Dates were planned and met. The project was clean and neat at the end of each workday. All tools, material, and trash or appropriately handled. No mess for me.

I sincerely recommend you reach out to LU Design Build for any project you may have. The personal and professional attention you will receive is extraordinary.

This is the heart of my house.

LU Design Build remodeled a carriage house for me on the Central West End. Rochelle, Jamie, Chris, and their team rebuilt the entire space. They were always ready and willing to listen to and address any concerns/suggestions we had; they completed the project on time and on budget, and were very attentive to detail. The quality of their work is excellent. They creatively transformed a dark space into a light and inviting home, while retaining much of the character of the space.

— Catherine Silva


As a professional in this industry, we are only as strong as our weakest link. As designers, we seldom find a builder/contractor that is a joy to work with on all levels. LU Design Build is professional, organized, knowledgeable and reliable. We have done several projects, both large and small with LUDB. They are our GO-TO contractor that we trust to work with our design team and our clients. Thank you for always being so great! Looking forward to our next transformation!

— Cure Design Group


We are very happy with LU Design Build's work! Throughout the entire process, their day-to-day communication was wonderful and everyone working in our house every day were very friendly, courteous and hard-working. They did their best to meet deadlines even with multiple change orders. And the finished project is absolutely gorgeous! We are very happy with our new kitchen, office area, laundry room and nursery. Thank you!

— Karen King


Whole team is amazing and super professional! Contractors can be difficult to manage, and LU handled all of the hard stuff. They are well organized and provide updates along the way so there are never any questions.

— Joe Pahl


Start to finish, LU was professional and very focused on achieving goals set forth in contract. The designer and the overall designs were absolutely spot on with our vision. This was a major investment and I appreciated the time spent up front to clearly understand what was important to us. All employees were skilled and professional and eventually overcame every obstacle that came up. Was it smooth sailing - no, there were bumps in the road as we expected.

— Teresa Martin


We met with several contractors prior to meeting Rochelle, Luke, and Josh. They immediately put us at ease when they presented how they work as a company. When a significant problem did arise with an old addition they immediately contacted us to meet and make a plan. They made us feel like we were the only project they were working on, crunching all the numbers over and suggesting alternative materials to make it work with our tight budget. Overall we could not be happier with how our kitchen, dining room and addition turned out! Thank you so much!!

— Alissa Schroeder




Lucas, Jenn, and Josh did such an amazing job on our kitchen. They transformed my 1970's kitchen into a modern farmhouse style that we love. All of my friends and family were amazed by the transformation.

Everyone who worked with us on this project was always quick to get back to us when we had questions and was always willing to work with us to give us exactly what we wanted. Thank you to Lucas and your team of highly qualified professionals!

— Maggie Carlton


If you want quality work that is done by superior craftsmen, then you want LU to do your job...Lucas, Jenn, and Jamie are an awesome team! Chris and Zach were fab too. Nothing but top notch service and workmanship. Thank you to all for our wonderful bedroom, bathroom, laundry/closet suite!

— Lynda Chapman


Great. We'd solicited several bids for the project and went with Lucas not only because we felt the bid was fair (not the cheapest) but also because we found Lucas himself to be someone we could work with. He listened to what we wanted and helped us to realize our vision for the project. He was responsive to our requests and was great about clearly communicating the timeline and what was going to be done when, as well as what impacts various decisions would have on the overall cost. Every subcontractor and worker on site was courteous and professional, and we couldn't be happier with the end result.

— Ralph Groom, Jr.


Excellent! It was a pleasure doing business with a company who not only delivered first-class workmanship at a reasonable price, but did it on time and on target! Pride of workmanship was obvious in all workmen and the job site was left immaculate. The deck material incorporated invisible fasteners, which gave it a super clean look! We already plan to hire Lucas Updates for our next project!

— Thomas Samuelson


It went very well. LU is good at communicating, which is the key to keeping a renovation on track. They keep a clean job site, which I love (!) and stand behind their work. I highly recommend them for large or small remodeling projects.

— Stephanie Noecker


Lucas Updates remodeled my home office and mud room. My wife was 8 months pregnant when we signed our service contract with them and Lucas quoted us 3 weeks to complete both the Office and Mudroom. Given the timing we fully expected that the work may not get completed before Baby arrived, however we were very surprised and pleased when the work was completed on time and on budget.

During the project we requested some minor changes to the original plan. Lucas was receptive and executed the changes to meet our requests with very little impact to the timeline or budget. All told Lucas Updates was very professional and given the scope of our project presented very little interruption to our daily lives and schedule. We were extremely pleased with our final product and we would recommend Lucas Updates to family and friends.

— Kevin Carnes


From the clearly written quote to the final invoice, Lucas Updates is a first rate company to do business with! They are professionals by anyone's definition. Courtesy, communication, quality of work, and the delivery of commitments make them an exceptional company. We were kept informed at every phase of the project, men and material were on site as promised, the site was clean daily, the job was completed on schedule and to our complete satisfaction. We feel very fortunate to have found a company who delivers quality work at a reasonable price! We will definitely use them for our next project!

— Tom & Mary Samuelson


I just wanted to let you guys know how much I am truly enjoying my new flooring. It looks FANTASIC. Your company provided a great service for a reasonable price. Thank you for working with me on the final cost.With the economy on a rollercaoster, its great to know there are companys willing to give affordable and professionally done skilled trade work for a faction of the cost. Thank you again. Job well done.

— Tabatha L. Clark


Lucas Updates built my cypress deck, installed ceramic tile in my kitchen and marble tile in my bathroom. I feel like I have a new house! Everything looks beautiful. They did an excellent job.

The deck replaced my old 20 year old wolmanized decking. The base structure stayed but the rest was replaced with milled cypress. And it was all done on site which made me feel that it was truly a customized job.

Installation of the tile included the removal and disposal of the old flooring. They removed all of the cabinets in order to install the flooring throughout the room. Everything was done perfectly with attention being directed to every detail.

Not only did Lucas Updates do a great remodel for me, they also repaired and improved everything they touched!

Thanks for giving my house a brand new look. I find myself looking for other remodeling projects so I can hire you again!

— Kathy B.


LU Design was first class from start to finish. When getting a bid the designer and owner came to our home to find out our vision. They gathered what was most important to us and came back several days later with a bid. Never were we being sold - they listened to our goals and tailored it accordingly. Work started not long later. The BaseCamp tool they use keeps everyone involved up to date at any given point. The workers were courteous and kept the home clean. Even with a little snag during the remodel they went above and beyond to rectify the situation. My wife and I are thrilled with our new kitchen. Highly recommend!

— James Carlton


We finished our basement with LU and are in love with our new space. It was so much fun to do this project with the entire LU team. It is by far the nicest part of our house now.

— Jason Barczewski

Lu Design & team did an excellent job for us and we could not be happier with the results. We had two bathrooms & master bedroom remodeled and job was fantastic from start to finish with the designing of the renovations to the finished results.

Special thanks to Luke, Jen, Don, Chris & Matt who were all there as scheduled & available for any questions that arose. We feel that they went above to see that the job was done right .

Would definitely recommend this company for a job well done.

— Diane & Marty Wiesler


LU Design designed and built an awesome garage for us in the Shaw Neighborhood. If you care to see it, it's on the corner of Flad Ave and Thurman. They suggested a technique for the siding called Shou Sugi Ban (look it up!) so we've got the only burnt black garage around. We absolutely love it. LU Design were the first contracting company I've ever worked with who stuck to their schedule, communicated proactively, and generally behaved in an extremely professional manner. We loved working with them and will definitely, definitely use them again for our next big project. Call Luke and Rochelle today!

— Scott Mitchell


We hired LU Design to build a bar in our basement. I can't say enough good things about their professionalism and hard work. We are incredibly pleased with the results. Many contractors were unresponsive or didn't understand our vision. LU Design worked with us to make sure we got exactly what we wanted. We have received so many compliments on the finished product, and we're incredibly excited to have this new space to enjoy with friends and family.

— Jamie Blum


So wonderful! Earned lifelong client status, we love our new space! It was quite a big (main floor) project and the entire process was professional, clear, and timely...beyond my expectations!

— Casey Jeannine


I am grateful to this company for helping me through a large renovation and doing a beautiful job. The folks I worked with, Rochelle, Jamie, Chris and Richie were professional and courteous, and EXPERTS at their jobs. I have other projects that I need to work on in the future and will hire them again for those projects. Many thanks to this great group of folks who have integrity, are trustworthy, and are reliable. Thank you!

— Christine Brewer


Boujee Shower Door works with the entire team over at LU Design Build. Their craftsmen are top notch, designers are super creative and particular, and production managers are always on their game. Great company to work alongside. Customers are always talking about the ease of working with LU. Highly recommend this company!

— Clayton Bourgeois


We had LU Design remodel our carriage house into a custom climbing gym. They did an excellent job, extremely responsive, Rochelle was a pleasure to work with. Adam, Chris, and Matt did a ton of custom construction and wiring work for us in the build and did an amazing job. It was great to work with people excited to tackle new and interesting projects. Would definitely have them work on our house again!

— Albert Kim


We hired LU Design last year to build a bar in our basement. I can't say enough good things about the work they did. They invited us to participate in every step of the process from the design to the final build. We had hoped to finish the bar by New Year's Eve, and they worked tirelessly through the holidays to make that happen. When we spotted a few tiny issues, they came back out and fixed them. We are so happy with the end result, and the bar is a popular spot with our guests! We would hire them again in a heartbeat.

— LU Client


The decorators had creative ideas and were GOOD LISTENERS to the look I wanted. LU Design handled all electrical, painting, etc. They were very neat and cleaned up after themselves.
