The result of this commitment is relationships and projects that endure the test of time. As a green building company, Lawrence Builders offers certified green homes that earn their designation through energy efficiency, site planning, healthy materials, durability, sustainability and other green practices. Our founder, Steve Lawrence graduated from Roger Williams University (RWU) in Bristol, Rhode Island (RI) with a Bachelor of Science degree in Marine Biology. Steve ultimately met his wife and shortly thereafter they undertook a new adventure which took him to the majestic Colorado Rocky Mountains. Since Steve was unable to pursue his passion of marine biology in the “land locked” state of Colorado, he decided to “get creative” and taught himself to build furniture using dead standing Aspen trees. This experiment in furniture building sparked his passion for ‘green building initiatives.' Steve’s passion for bigger and better was ignited, and his natural curiosity to understand how thing’s are constructed, led him to learn and to create beautiful custom designed and custom built mountain homes…starting with his own. After eight years in Colorado, Steve and his wife returned ‘home’ to Rhode Island continuing his love of construction in the Ocean State. Instead of building and framing his custom home building ‘artwork’ against the canvas of the majestic Colorado Rockies, Steve arrived ‘full circle’ and his new palette today is not only the picturesque New England mountains, but also the maritime beauty and history of the rugged New England sea coast. Today, Steve’s has had the privilege of building and renovating homes in many Rhode Island towns, cities, and seacoast towns. ### Services Provided - New Home Construction - Custom Homes - Home Remodeling - Home Additions - Home Extensions - Energy-Efficient Homes - Guesthouse Design & Construction - Green Building - Garage Building - Home Restoration - Barn Design & Construction - Sustainable Design - Historic Building Conservation - Passive Solar Heating & Cooling ### Areas Served - North Kingstown - Wakefield - Narragansett - Wakefield-Peacedale - Charlestown - Exeter - Kingston - Jamestown - Narragansett Pier - Hope Valley - Carolina - Quonochontaug - Wyoming - Kenyon - Peace Dale - Saunderstown - Shannock - Slocum - West Kingston - Wood River Junction ## Business Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Business Name | Lawrence Builders Inc. | | Address | 132 Boon Street, Narragsnsett, Rhode Island 02882, United States | | Phone | (401) 792-3669 | | Website | http://lawrencebuildersinc.com | | License Number | 22016 | | Followers on Houzz | 65 | **Social profiles:** - Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/lawrencebuildersinc/?ref=page\_internal - Blog — https://www.instagram.com/lawrencebuilders/ ## Contact - **Houzz profile:** [Lawrence Builders Inc.](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/home-builders/lawrence-builders-inc-pfvwus-pf~1327547224) - **Website:** http://lawrencebuildersinc.com - **Phone:** (401) 792-3669 ## Credentials **Certifications & Awards** - Our work has been featured on HGTV! - Professional Affiliations: NAHB, Certified Green Professional and Rhode Island Builders Association. - **Best of Houzz:** 3 awards (2019–2023), for Service, Design. **Affiliations** - [National Association of Home Builders](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/schools-and-organizations/national-association-of-home-builders-pfvwus-pf~562065019) - [Rhode Island Builders Association](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/schools-and-organizations/rhode-island-builders-association-pfvwus-pf~1327356916) ## Reviews **Overall rating: 4.7 out of 5 — 16 reviews** *Aspect averages:* - Work Quality: 50.0 - Communication: 50.0 - Value: 50.0 ### Reviews **★★★★★ — John Molt, Nov. 2022** > Steve Lawrence was able to step in to my new, stand alone, garage project when it went south because of a less reputable general contractor under biding the job and was unable to complete the project. I had just moved to RI from NM and knew no one in the area to help us complete the project to code. Steve brought his crew and completed the project in a timely manner and no more headaches!!! He was easy to deal with, extremely knowledgeable, and was able to make a bad situation come to fruition and we received our certificate of occupancy without a hitch. > > I recommend Lawrence Builders Inc to anyone looking for an honest builder with integrity!!! **★ — Kris Hamlin, June 2020** > We engaged Lawrence to build a new home. He is very slow. A year and a half later, the house is still incomplete. There were fire code violations, failures to install minimal drainage for a retaining wall, cracks in the basement foundation, a basement which is already leaking, the expensive tile floor is cracking because of settling, roof and masonry problems, an unlicensed independent contractor that he calls the foreman, but who has failed to show a single day in the last 9 months. The job was largely unsupervised. I would not recommend. **★★★★★ — Michael Cesaro, April 2019** > Not only does Steve do excellent work, but he also stands behind his work. I recently contacted Steve about a construction detail that required a correction, approximately three years after Steve had completed the work. Someone from Lawrence Builders, Inc. was there the very next day to inspect the problem, and then returned the next day and corrected the situation. Thank you Steve. **★★★★★ — Riley Martin, Feb. 2018** > Lawrence Builders is an amazing building company with impeccable style. I have had the pleasure of viewing many of their homes and would recommend any potential home owner looking for high quality craftsmanship and personal genuine client service to contact Lawrence Builders to bring their ideas to life! **★★★★★ — Lynn & Richard Morgan, May 2017** > "Our retirement abode is more than we could have imagined." > > Beginning in 2013 through October 2014, Steve Lawrence began the > "permits and permission" process of building our new retirement home. > > A process that involved an Architectural Review Board, Planning and Zoning, Coastal Resource Management, LOMA and a few more when construction takes place by the sea. Demolition of the old to completion of the new went smoothly and within budget. > > The quality of the craftsmanship by Steve, and his highly skilled sub- contractors, will be enjoyed for generations to come. Videotaped and photographed (for posterity) was a learning curve few get to witness and enjoy. > > Make a contract with yourself, secure a bottle of champagne and enjoy the process; you're in good hands with Steve and Lawrence Builders. > > Cheers! > > Lynn and Richard Morgan **Comment from Lawrence Builders Inc.:** > Lynn and Richard Morgan, > > Thanks a lot for the wonderful review! The team and myself are happy to hear your really loving your custom abode. This project was super interesting and I am glad you guys got to experience the filming aspect with us for the first time! **★★★★★ — Amy Walsh, April 2017** > Steve Lawurence is inspiring and talented, a pleasure to work with. He is current on trends all while finding ways to maximize existing materials and structures (to lessen our environmental impact from doing home improvements). > Steve came to our rescue when we discovered a water leak that had been going on for while and had to move out on Christmas Eve. Steve and his team worked during the holidays and did a completely, AMAZING, beyond expectations kitchen renovation (and found us temporary housing because we had 18 month old baby)! I cannot say enough about his quality of work, can-do attitude, respect for materials/the globe and overall experience. **Comment from Lawrence Builders Inc.:** > Thanks a lot Amy! We were so excited to see the results of this project. It was a pleasure working with you! **★★★★★ — Mike C, April 2017** > We recently added on a Four Season Room to our home in N. Kingstown, RI. Steve Lawrence and his team at Lawrence Builders did a great job. His knowledge, professionalism and attention to detail helped make this project a great success. **Comment from Lawrence Builders Inc.:** > Thanks Mike! The team and myself are so happy you enjoyed working with Lawrence Builders. This addition was such a success! **★★★★★ — Gary Piscione, April 2017** > My wife and I have known Steve for over ten years. He has completed so many jobs for us it is difficult to list them, but I will try. > > Added two rooms to our house ( a family room, and a master closet). > This project included removing a walk in closet and matching the existing > flooring. > Redid a major portion of our kitchen including a new glass side door. > Replaced two windows in our master bedroom with two French doors. > Demolished a small wall in upstairs hallway, and replaced it with a railing that > matched our first floor railing. > Built a pergola over our out door shower. > Redoing the front porch and enlarging it by curving the flooring and railing. > This project included replacing the flooring with mahogany flooring. > This project included increasing the size of the porch, and building a pergola over a portions of the porch. > Built a butler's pantry that conceals our washer and dryer. > > All these projects were completed over around ten years. **Comment from Lawrence Builders Inc.:** > Gary, thank you for the detailed review! It has been a pleasure working with you numerous times over the years on such wonderful renovations and additions. The team and myself are honored to have been your go-to! **★★★★★ — Dale Harrington, April 2017** > Flawless construction, easy to work with, get's along well with architects. Both workers and selected subcontractors are top notch. We have recommended Steve to several other folks interested in home construction. **Comment from Lawrence Builders Inc.:** > Thanks Dale! This was such an awesome project. Our team and myself are thankful for your initiative as well! **★★★★★ — Rick Guerrini, April 2017** > Steve and the team were fantastic in all phases of a significant project. We tore down a small cottage and he built a beautiful home with quality work, attention to all details all on budget and on time. The entire team was professional and responsive. They offered advice and solutions to the few items that came up during the process, I have referred Steve to many others and hold him and his team in the highest regard. **Comment from Lawrence Builders Inc.:** > Rick, this is awesome! The team and myself value your positive remarks. Thanks a lot, it was a pleasure working with you! **★★★★★ — Stacey Sheehan, Jan. 2017** > We hired Steve in July 2016 for a remodel project consisting of new wood floors on the first floor, a kitchen remodel, powder room remodel and a second floor bathroom remodel. He finished on time and within budget. We couldn't be happier with the finished product! Steve and his crew were very professional and a pleasure to work with! If you are looking for a great builder, I would highly recommend Steve Lawrence! **Comment from Lawrence Builders Inc.:** > Stacy! Thank you for the wonderful review, it was a pleasure working with you! We really enjoyed your enthusiasm and creative perspectives with this project. - Steve **★★★★★ — John Strong, Jan. 2017** > We have had numerous homes built over the years in addition to remodels. When we moved to Rhode Island we purchased a home with plans to gut and expand the home. We selected Lawrence Builders over many other builders in the area and the outcome and overall experience couldn't have been better. Steve and his team were a joy to work with and were always attentive to detail throughout the project. The project far exceeded out expectations. All suggestions by Steve and his team during the building process were well thought out. If you're looking for a quality builder, Steve and his team in my opinion are the very best in the area! I'd highly recommend Lawrence Builders for projects both big and small. **Comment from Lawrence Builders Inc.:** > John, > The Lawrence Builders team and myself really enjoyed working on this project with you. Thank you for the kind review and choosing Lawrence Builders to bring your project to life! ## Selected projects - [The Contemporary Coastal](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/the-contemporary-coastal-pj-vj~2268660) - Location: South Kingstown, RI - Photos: 4 - [The Beach Shack](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/the-beach-shack-pj-vj~2276535) - Location: South Kingstown, RI - Photos: 20 - [Breakwater Village](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/breakwater-village-pj-vj~2763746) - Location: North Kingstown, RI - Photos: 4 - [The Angel Wing House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/the-angel-wing-house-pj-vj~2268628) - Location: Narragansett, RI - Photos: 38 - [The New England Getaway](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/the-new-england-getaway-pj-vj~2268639) - Location: South Kingstown, RI - Photos: 16 - [The Coast Guard House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/the-coast-guard-house-pj-vj~2270857) - Location: South Kingstown, RI - Photos: 1 - [The Bonnet Point Coast Guard](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/the-bonnet-point-coast-guard-pj-vj~2268663) - Location: Narragansett, RI - Photos: 8 - [The Great Island Addition](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/the-great-island-addition-pj-vj~2333062) - Location: Narragansett, RI - Photos: 20 - [A Country Homestead](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/a-country-homestead-pj-vj~2270832) - Location: South Kingstown, RI - Photos: 1 - [Fine Interiors](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/fine-interiors-pj-vj~2261176) - Location: South Kingstown, RI - Photos: 24 - [Custom Exteriors](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/custom-exteriors-pj-vj~2264198) - Location: South Kingstown, RI - Photos: 22 - [The Break Water](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/the-break-water-pj-vj~2268634) - Location: Narragansett, RI - Photos: 1 - [Featured on D.I.Y.
