They work with effortless grace to bring their designs to life. > Their attention to detail makes our job so much easier. Truly blessed to call them both customers and longtime friends! **★★★★★ — quirina buchwald, May 2021** > Lori was so helpful in putting our home together. She really honed in on our lifestyle and taste and chose beautiful, quality pieces that totally reflected us. Thank you so much. We love what you’ve done!!! **★★★★★ — DARSHANA THACKER, March 2021** > We thank Lori Dennis for designing a beautiful home for us—she is simply the best in the business! Our favorite part of working with Lori is the time she took to get to know us, our personalities and lifestyles, and how she turned that knowledge into a home design that is uniquely ours, with so much beauty and style. > > In our case, we love to cook and host gatherings in our home, and she designed precisely to our way of life. In the end, we have a home that is fully functional to our lifestyle that includes a warm, inviting, and upbeat ambiance that is always enjoyed by us and all of our family and friends! > > We love Lori’s experience, approach, and positive personality, all of which shine throughout the whole process. There are no problems in the home design process that phase Lori, she comes up with smart solutions to every challenge. > > We believe picking the right home designer is very important, since so much time is spent at home. Lori delivers for her clients in a big way, and we will certainly turn to her first for any future projects. Lori has our absolute highest recommendation. **★★★★★ — Brightech, May 2019** > Lori is absolutely awesome. We've used her projects as inspiration for our own farmhouse-style shots, she is an expert in everything that is farmhouse. **★★★★★ — jodi P, March 2019** > My husband and I bought our first home this year. We always rented and our furniture was a mix of hand me downs, craigslist finds and few pieces we bought along the way. We were terrified to buy a bunch of furniture only to discover we hated it, it didn’t fit in our space or we wasted money. I found Lori on Houzz.com and decided to give her a call. She asked me what our style was, what my favorite colors were and what vibe I was looking for in my new home. I told her I didn’t know. I had never thought about it before. She came over to my old place and we talked, we walked around the house and she got to know me. It was surprising to discover that I did have a style – she just had to pull it out of me. We set up a budget and then very quickly Lori had created a floor plan of my new home and suggested furniture, carpets and lightening for each space. She made me a list of items to keep and where they would fit into my new home and items to donate. We went over all her suggestions on her computer and I decided on what to purchase. Lori has a lot of experience and I trusted her when she told me she had seen an item in person, that is was comfortable, or was of high quality materials. Lori and her team are amazing, and I definitely could not have done this with out them. **Comment from Lori Dennis, ASID, LEED AP:** > Thank you Jodi! We loved working with you and your Venice Art House is one of our favorites! Anyone who wants to see it can go on over to our projects. :) **★★★★★ — Scott Currier, Nov. 2018** > I have known Lori for several years and she is a real pleasure to work with. Very professional, has a great personality and real flare for Design! I would highly recommend Lori Dennis if you are looking for a true talent to take your project from concept to completion! **★★★★★ — Tina Brumfield, May 2018** > Fantastic job you guyz done for my sister's home. I will soon contact you guyz for my own home :) Thanks a lot for your nice work. **★★★★★ — cristina alonso, Aug. 2017** > very professional design team with impeccable taste and attention to detail. The type of designers we love to work with because the project gets done efficiently with no surprises. Lori is someone you can trust to make your home look amazing! **★★★★★ — Courtney Porter, May 2017** > Lori Dennis and her team are unmatched. Not only are they incredibly talented; they are also incredible listeners, and inspiring, wonderful people you want to be around and work with. I can't recommend her highly enough! **★★★★★ — Jordan James, May 2017** > I can't even begin to tell you how happy I am in our new home. I still can't believe we live here! We tore down our old tiny house overlooking the beach and built a brand new 3 story modern masterpiece - all with the help of Lori Dennis and SoCal Contractor. Each room is so special, designed with our interests at heart and it really reflects who we are as a family. Now we have a beautiful home where we can make so many wonderful memories. I can't thank them enough for making our dreams come true! **★★★★★ — Nicole Nicholson, May 2017** > I'm a long time fan of Lori Dennis, Inc. and SoCal Contractor. My first experience was when we hired them to remodel and transform our master bathroom. They did such a great job, we hired them to help us work on the rest of our house and bring it up to date. One of my favorite aspects are the beautiful new wood windows. We get compliments all the time from our neighbors and guests, even our mailman. We then hired the teams to remodel our mother's home and make it more comfortable for her as she's aging. It put our minds at ease that she can move around safely in her home, and it looks amazing. So far, they've been 3 for 3, and we've got another home for them to help us with and I know it's going to be great. I have complete faith in them and their professionalism. **Comment from Lori Dennis, ASID, LEED AP:** > Thank you for this wonderful review. It's been an incredible experience to work on a Beverly Hills historic property and help your wonderful mother too! **★★★★★ — Florence Y, Feb. 2017** > Lori Dennis did not disappoint. She handled the complete remodel of our 4,000 sq ft home. We experienced no stress because Lori and her team handled it all from start to finish with an impressive timeline. All the designs and all the construction communications to SoCal Contractor were handled by her team. No detail was too small and no detail was left unaddressed. My husband and I are glad we had the right team working for us. We found Lori to be smart, decisive, and an expert in design. Overall very good communication and professionalism. We are highly satisfied with the finished product. Together with our kiddos, we thank Lori and her team, we cannot wait to fill our new home with a lot of lovely and happy memories.
