LS Winston Building Corp.

Our experience was very similar to Sebastien H’s. Luke failed to apply for a permit and abandoned our project before completion, leaving our house and yard in complete disarray. This has cost us a lot of money, and Luke has completely disappeared. Do your research – and check the status of his CS license (https://madpl.mylicense.com/Verification/) – before letting him anywhere near your home.

We hired LS Winston Building Corp for a major renovation and 2-story addition on our home. We paid a substantial amount of money for this project for "milestones" that were initiated but not completed. We never received the stamped plans for the project that were part of the design contract. After about 3 months, with our kitchen and a bedroom demolished and the framing of the addition only partially complete, the project was completely abandoned with: the foundations for the addition not having been laid; the windows, doors and cabinets that we had paid for were never delivered; a very large pile of construction debris left in our backyard; and, our basement regularly flooding due to holes that were drilled in the cement floor for new supports that were never installed. We spent over a month sending texts/emails and leaving voice mails but never received a response from the business owner. The owner has not responded to any communication from our lawyer either. During this period we also received visits from some of the subcontractors that performed work at our home on behalf of LS Winston Building Corp who were never paid for the project. At that point we also learned that no permits had been filed for the work completed. The project was supposed to have been complete two months ago but we essentially had to start from scratch. We are now 6 months without a kitchen or running water on the first floor and still have 3-4 months to go. I would strongly advise looking elsewhere for design or construction services.

Luke & his team did an absolutely gorgeous addition for us just after the birth of our 4th child 2 years ago. They added a new 600 sf master suite to the second floor of our home, along with some much-needed updates to our existing upstairs bathroom and HVAC. Well, we just had our home appraised for a refinance and, despite the fact that we only spent $175,000 on the addition, our home is now worth over $280,000 what we paid for it. Thank you and well-done, LS Winston Construction!

Luke and his team did a great job on our kitchen renovation and Den addition. He has a great eye for design and our project finished on time. We are loving the new spaces

I first reached out to Luke a year and a half ago to get an estimate for some odd projects at my house - custom built-ins in the living room and dining room, tile work, reframing a closet, electrical work, painting and a few other odd jobs. I was a bit traumatized from a horrible experience with another contractor but felt great after my first meeting with Luke. After about a year of back and forth design and scope changes, I was finally ready to go. Luke was patient with me through the whole process, was very accessible and was always prompt for meetings. The guys on site each day were also delightful. As with most construction projects, there were a few hiccups, but Luke was quick to resolve any issues. I'm thrilled with how it all came together and wish I hadn't waited so long to start the project.

I highly recommend LS Winston for your building and remodeling needs! I am a kitchen designer and I've worked with Luke and his crew several times. They have been nothing but professional and they do such beautiful work. As a designer, it's important to have an installation crew I can trust. I know that no matter what I throw at them, they'll handle it and they'll make it come to life even better than I imagined. We all know construction projects don't always go as planned. Another wonderful thing about LS Winston is that if you do come across an issue, regardless of who is to blame, they don't sit around and point fingers - they find a solution. Believe me, that is not something I can say about every crew I work with! Their reliability, beautiful craftsmanship, and professionalism is what makes me give LS Winston 5 stars!

I hired Luke last summer to complete a front deck. The deck came out fantastic; however, as the cold came on, things started to shift and there were issues with the deck facade. Luke agreed to come back to correct the issue once the weather warmed up. As promised, he came back, replaced the deck façade, and corrected the issue. I will definitely call Luke for future work.

I spoke to 7 companies. Received 3 quotes and chose Luke Winston. He was extremely knowledgeable about all building issues and was very competitive. My wife and I were very impressed by the comprehensiveness of the job, the quality of workmanship and the attention to detail. Naturally we would use him again for other projects.

Luke Winston - LS Winston Building Co. is the best general contractor I've ever worked with and I've worked with a lot of them over the past 20 + years If you are looking for a good and professional contractor, Luke is your man. There was no BS, he adhered to the contract, made knowledgeable recommendations during the planning phase and once the project was underway, his employees and trade contractors are professional. They did what they said they would do and when they said they would do it. Our project included: Design of kitchen and master suite remodels as well as front entry remodeling. Kitchen remodel, new master suite with bath and closet, removing a load bearing wall to create a great room (kitchen, living room & dining room), 3 bathroom remodels, new HVAC and new duct work, tile installation on entire grade level floor, replacing tile in kitchen with hardwood, painting inside and out, plaster work, new roof, new front entryway, spray foam insulation, sound insulation, electrical upgrades, plumbing upgrades, new widows, doors and garage doors. And much more. Of great importance to me as a consumer, Luke made recommendations such as moving an electric sub panel from the attic to the basement as well as provided design recommendations. As promised the work started early March and we were able to move in early June. It was a challenging schedule but Luke's team did what ever it took to get the job done. Luke is a n excellent contractor - to me that means the quality of the work is good, it's done on time - as promised, the work is done by professionals, and per the contract. I posted a few of the before and after photos, but there was so much more.

We hired LS Winston to create custom built ins, a new fireplace surround, and install two piece crown mounding around our entire open concept living room and kitchen. From my first meeting with Luke, I knew he was the contractor for me. Luke has an amazing eye for design, clearly has passion, and takes great pride in producing the highest quality of work for his customers. Luke gave us a very detailed (and reasonable) quote and design for the built ins shortly after the consultation. The work began quickly thereafter and was completed within the timeline given and on budget. Luke was there everyday to check in and ensure everything was perfect and up to his high standards. He is also very responsive and communicates with you through the entire process. The lead carpenter is extremely skilled and the craftsmanship exceeded all of my expectations. The attention to detail in every aspect of the project was impeccable. The rest of the crew was equally as skilled, were very respectful, and left a clean space everyday. I consider myself a perfectionist and have very high standards and they still exceeded them. The work came out better than I could have ever imagined. The before and after picture does not do it justice. I would highly recommend LS Winston to anyone looking for a high quality contractor for any of their projects. We look forward to hiring them again for future work including a front porch addition and finishing our basement. You won’t be disappointed!

Luke and his guys were the best! We did a total kitchen remodel (down to the studs), added a half bath and a 12x16 family room. Luke had excellent design ideas and suggestions and did beautiful work. I hardly recognize it as the same space! He was available at all times (weekends, evenings) if we needed to contact him with questions. All of the people he works with (who worked on the house) are all polite, friendly and hard working. They completed a major renovation in 3 months! We went slightly over budget but that was by our choice, we put in new windows and new siding. I highly recommend them for any renovation work you need done!

Luke and his team provided exceptional service and skill throughout this collaborative process. Luke was a great partner during the initial planning phase and was able to adapt to changes we requested. He provided a start date and when this was delayed briefly he gave us advanced notice. He kept constant communication with his onsite team and provided clear explanation on expectations. We love the outcome of our new deck! Has modernized our home and the experience was the best we’ve had with a vendor. Highly recommend and will use for future projects!
