**★★★★★ — Rick, Aug. 2025**

> Five years ago we hired Tributary Design and Construction to update, modernize and make our 1950’s Mid Century Modern home more livable. Five years later we are still singing Laura Houston’s praises. She exceeded all of our expectations and virtually all our visitors still marvel at the transformation. Laura is not only a great architect and designer but her greatest attribute is that she is so easy to work with. She understood our needs, was practical, creative and looked out for our interests at every stage of the renovation. We don’t believe anyone could find a better designer or value for their project than Tributary Design and Construction.
> Rick and Kate McAuliffe

**★★★★★ — Lori Besancon, Feb. 2019**

> Laura, and Tributary DC are exceptional!  Laura is efficient, honest, reliable and fun to work with.  She was able to complete a kitchen demo/remodel in the projected "tight" timeline.  Laura strives for perfection and expects the same of her subcontractors. I would definitely hire her again and I recommend her to everyone!

  - Description: The new owners of this house requested that we eliminate all evidence of the 1990's style in this large house. Starting with the new front entry door and grand staircase, followed by the gorgeous great room with the travertine wrapped double sided fireplace. We also completely redesigned the master bathroom and kitchen. All the rest of the rooms got a refresh of paint and lighting too.
