From the first meeting to the final walk through, the team was extremely professional and thorough. We absolutely love our new kitchen, mudroom, laundry room and updated family room! The entire project was completed on time and to our satisfaction. Marc, Kim and Jon were easy to work with, listened to our needs and provided regular communication throughout the construction process. We were lucky enough to get the majority of the project done before the COVID lockdown, but they have been very good at accommodating our schedule and being flexible with the final finishing touches.

Take care and best wishes, The Lasley Brahaney Team **★★★★★ — HU-471137626, Oct. 2020** > It took us about 5 months of back and forth with the team to land on the final layout. The work required significant changes to be made as part of our kitchen/DR/LR renovation. When we were done talking thru the layout, everything was documented and we were ready for the hammers to start swinging! The estimated costs presented to us turned out to be accurate. The 3 months timeline that was proposed was met to the day...even with COVID! We were very pleased with the construction supervisor and his team. They kept us informed of any changes that were needed and for providing weekly progress reports. The job site was always kept clean and the subcontractors displayed a high degree of expertise and professionalism. We would not hesitate to use Lasley Brahaney again if needed. **Comment from Lasley Brahaney Architecture + Construction:** > Thank you for the great feedback. It was a pleasure working with you and we appreciate the trust you put in our team, especially during a challenging time. Enjoy your renovation! **★★★★★ — Victoria Byfield, Aug. 2020** > We had a great experience working with Lasley Brahaney Architecture and Construction. From the first meeting with Marc and Kim through the estimate phase with John and Joe and the construction, having Mike and Frank on site overseeing everything, the process went as smoothly as one could hope for. The team is very professional and all the subcontractors did excellent work. We are very pleased with the end result in our kitchen/first floor renovation and cannot say enough good things about the experience. > We look forward to working with them again in the future. **Comment from Lasley Brahaney Architecture + Construction:** > Thank you, Victoria, for your positive feedback. It was a pleasure working with you both and we are so glad you’re pleased with the renovation! **★★★★★ — Deborah Sugden, July 2020** > We hired Lasley Brahaney Architecture + Construction to renovate the exterior of our 80 year old home after being referred by several contacts who highly recommended them for their quality, professionalism and ability to deliver a beautiful end product in the timeline promised. Every reference I called stated that they would not use any other company to work on their home. Our project included a complete exterior re-design and enhancement of classic architectural details including designing and constructing a front entry portico, replacing windows, shutters, cedar siding, garage doors, copper gutters, exterior lighting, cupola and blue stone masonry work. Marc and his team were very responsive to our needs from the first phone call to the last punch list item. We were interested in getting this job done as expeditiously as possible and very much appreciated Marc’s ability to outline realistic timing, order lead times and budget in a timely manner. Marc’s on site team was led by an exceptional project leader, Frank, who was our day to day point of contact. Frank did a great job of keeping us informed of the process, progress, answered our questions, concerns and requests. He effectively managed his own team, the specialty subcontractor’s used, made sure the work site was cleaned up each day and that all workers treated our home with care. We are very satisfied with the end product and would not hesitate to highly recommend Marc and his team to others. Quality, honesty, clear communication, ability to deliver on time and within budget matters to us and it matters to Marc and his team as well. **Comment from Lasley Brahaney Architecture + Construction:** > Thank you, Deborah! It was wonderful working with you. I know my team is proud of the transformation we engineered for you. I will pass on your nice remarks to my team. Marc **★★★★★ — HU-851460881, July 2019** > We used Lasley Brahaney Architecture to design our addition to our home. They were very attentive during the design process. Kim listened to our needs and designed a great layout and flow to our home. **Comment from Lasley Brahaney Architecture + Construction:** > It was a pleasure working with you. We always aim to draw out our clients' expectations and hopes. I am happy to hear we were successful. **★★★★★ — BklynBrownstone, June 2019** > Lasley Brahaney and his staff are the nicest people to work with! Their design is incredible. They are responsive, very creative, and working with them is so pleasant and smooth. **Comment from Lasley Brahaney Architecture + Construction:** > It was great meeting you Esther! Thank you for your kind recommendation. All our best, The Lasley Brahaney Team **★★★★★ — Wendy Wilbur, June 2019** > Lasley Brahaney does high quality work. I worked with their carpenter to have a long wooden bench built inside our space and it is beautiful, well constructed and sturdy. The work was done on time/within the specified job period. **Comment from Lasley Brahaney Architecture + Construction:** > Thank you Wendy! Glad we could help make the team more comfortable.
