Working with Kari and Lance was a fantastic experience—they were transparent, communicative, and truly invested in delivering a high-quality result. > > Here are some of the standout aspects of our experience: > 1\. Exceptional Design Insight – Kari has an impeccable eye for design and a deep understanding of aesthetics. One of the most valuable contributions she made was during the architectural planning phase. We struggled to find a way to seamlessly incorporate a pool bath into our layout, but Kari proposed a brilliant solution that we loved. She then collaborated with our architect to bring the vision to life. In addition, friends and visitors consistently compliment how natural our addition looks—there’s no visible indication that it wasn’t part of the original home. > > 2\. Hands-On Project Management – Kari was on-site every day, ensuring every detail was executed to the highest standard. If any issues arose, she communicated them promptly and worked to resolve them efficiently. > > 3\. A Top-Tier Team – Kari surrounds herself with the best professionals, both within her own team and among her subcontractors. Everyone involved went above and beyond their scope to ensure we were completely satisfied with the final result. > > 4\. Commitment to Quality & Warranty Support – Even after the project was completed, Kari remained committed to standing by her work. When a small ceiling crack developed due to normal settling, her team promptly repaired it at no cost. > > Beyond the exceptional workmanship, Kari and Lance are simply wonderful people. We can’t imagine going through those five months without them, and we’re so grateful for the experience! **★★★★★ — dianethomp, March 2024** > Kari and Lance are true professionals and I would definitely use them again. > > I am writing this review over year after they completed our total home renovation. I think it's important to see how a contractor responds to any issues post project before writing anything. We had one issue with a painter and Kari stayed on top of it, communicated with me regularly and got the problem resolved to my satisfaction. > > We love how our home turned out! Kari had great suggestions, was invaluable at helping us with the myriad of decisions that go with a home reno and was easy to work with. Our project was done on time and budget. > > I would recommend Lamorinda Construction and Consulting in a heartbeat. **Comment from Lamorinda Construction & Consulting:** > Thank you so much for your review and we'd love to work with you in the future as well! **★★★★★ — C Garthwaite, Jan. 2021** > A wonderful experience with Lamorinda Construction & Consulting for my home remodel! Kari and Lance sincerely listen to what is important to you. They will keep your decision-making on track for a timely completion and offer thoughtful design ideas along the way. Their crew has worked together for many years and it shows: great attitude, on-time, skilled team. Equally important, LCC brings strong relationships with reliable sub-contractors and material vendors. They are considerate to your neighbors. > > They offer the whole package, and if you are ready to remodel you need to talk to them. I'm loving my house, They truly 'brought me home.' **★★★★★ — erinlbailey, Aug. 2019** > Lamorinda Construction recently completed a whole home update/remodel for us and we could not be more thrilled with the results. > We were initially very anxious about the scope of the project but as soon as we invited Kari and Lance to walk through our home, we knew we were in great hands and began to get excited about the possibilities! > > They had practical and inventive ideas and always kept our budget in mind by recommending updates that would give us the biggest bang for our buck. > We weren’t able to be in town during the bulk of the remodel but they communicated really well with us and we felt comfortable having them manage the project. They were always immediately accessible when we had questions and wanted to share input and we always felt they had our very best interests at heart. > > They handled absolutely everything, including landscaping the entire yard, which wasn’t something we’d planned to do, but once we saw how amazing the house was looking, we knew we had to get the yard in shape, too. > > To say we are thrilled with the results would be an understatement and I will honestly miss them and their friendly, highly professional crew. I would enthusiastically recommend them to anyone looking for a talented contractor. I wish I had another project for them! **★★★★★ — Precision Cabinets, March 2017** > We have been working with Lamorinda Construction for over six years. Kari, Lance, Julie and their team are highly qualified in the field of design build. They are easy to work with, care about their customers design and construction needs. The Lamorinda team is professional and courteous to work with; we would highly recommend them for any remodeling project you have! **★★★★★ — cwhermanowicz, March 2016** > Great contractors who are available on short notice are hard to find in the Bay Area. Lamorinda came out and provided us with a bunch of useful info and quote, and were willing to work on a very quick timeline. Plus their completed projects look amazing! **★★★★★ — mdreisbach, July 2013** > I hired Lamorinda Construction to do a lengthly remodel of a recently purchased house.... they were extremely professional, on time, and creative in all aspects of the process. We had such a successful experience that we further hired them to do a complete installation of our outside yards, including pool remodel, hardscape and plantings. I can not recommend them highly enough... they were great! **★★★★★ — sarahschwartzca, June 2013** > I have worked with a number of contractors over the years, and Lamorinda Construction stands head and shoulders above them all. First and foremost, Lance and Kari provide quality craftsmanship. From the work they have done on my home, it is evident that they are detail oriented so the job is done right. I have seen several other instances of their work, all of which exhibited the same high caliber of craftsmanship. In working with them, I found them to always be professional. The have no problem standing behind their work and work quickly to resolve problems. They communicate well -- I always knew the status of my job and its costs. And they return phone calls! They are people of very high integrity and I trust them and their team. I will definitely be using them again on future projects. **★★★★★ — catherineburns, June 2013** > Lamorinda Construction & Consulting provide a seamless service. They are very flexible, creative and ensure the work is done to the highest standards. Lance and Kari have a great, hardworking and reliable team working for them and we appreciate the continuity in the people that come to the house to carry out the work. We have done several projects with them over the last 18 months and continue to be delighted with the results. **★★★★★ — patsymickens, May 2013** > I love my new bathroom and working with Kari and Lance was great. They are extremely professional and capable and did all the work we needed in a very timely manner. I needed to work with someone who would guide me through the steps of renovation and ask all the necessary questions, and it was a great decision to work with them. All in all, very happy. **★★★★★ — mollydavis62, May 2013** > The Lamorinda Construction team did an outstanding job for us in our kitchen/dining room/family room remodel. I’m certain that it would never have come out so well without their hard work, attention to detail, great ideas and direction, scrupulous project management and overall good will. Someone asked me the other day, “Now that it’s all over, what would you go back and change?” I can honestly say that I’m happy with how EVERYTHING came out. Every day, I love spending time in my new environment and it’s all because of the great partnership I had with the Lamorinda Construction team. **★★★★★ — cinders, Nov. 2012** > Lamorinda Construction were our contractors for a major remodel and addition to our home. > They are professional, easy to work with, detail oriented, build with design in mind, great communicators, and a great team. ## Selected projects - [California Coastal \| East Bay, CA](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/california-coastal-east-bay-ca-pj-vj~7274519) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - [Entertainers Dream \| Lafayette, CA](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/entertainers-dream-lafayette-ca-pj-vj~7274524) - Location: Lafayette, CA - Photos: 44 - [Outdoor Oasis \| Lafayette, CA](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/outdoor-oasis-lafayette-ca-pj-vj~7282908) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - [Stylish Addition \| Lafayette, CA](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/stylish-addition-lafayette-ca-pj-vj~5713716) - Location: Lafayette, CA - Photos: 19 - [Sleek Master Suite \| Lafayette, CA](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sleek-master-suite-lafayette-ca-pj-vj~5713797) - Location: Lafayette, CA - Photos: 9 - [Ranch Refresh \| Lafayette CA](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ranch-refresh-lafayette-ca-pj-vj~5638802) - Location: Lafayette, CA - Photos: 19 - [Craftsman Comfort \| Moraga CA](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/craftsman-comfort-moraga-ca-pj-vj~5638801) - Location: Moraga, CA - Photos: 5 - [Traditional Charm \| Lafayette CA](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/traditional-charm-lafayette-ca-pj-vj~5659377) - Location: Lafayette, CA - Photos: 4 - [Contemporary Ranch \| Moraga CA](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/contemporary-ranch-moraga-ca-pj-vj~5659373) - Location: Moraga, CA - Photos: 5 - [Split-Level Spruce-Up \| Moraga CA](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/split-level-spruce-up-moraga-ca-pj-vj~5638796) - Location: Moraga, CA - Photos: 13 - [Contemporary Craftsman \| Lafayette CA](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/contemporary-craftsman-lafayette-ca-pj-vj~5638800) - Location: Lafayette, CA - Photos: 2 - [French Country Traditional \| Lafayette CA](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/french-country-traditional-lafayette-ca-pj-vj~244491) - Location: Lafayette, CA - Photos: 4 - [Farmhouse Charm \| Lafayette CA](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/farmhouse-charm-lafayette-ca-pj-vj~5659382) - Location: Lafayette, CA - Photos: 9 - [Contemporary Stunner \| Lafayette CA](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/contemporary-stunner-lafayette-ca-pj-vj~5638804) - Location: Lafayette, CA - Photos: 10 - [Extreme Elegance \| Lafayette CA](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/extreme-elegance-lafayette-ca-pj-vj~5638826) - Location: Lafayette, CA - Photos: 3 - [Farmhouse Finishes \| Lafayette CA](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/farmhouse-finishes-lafayette-ca-pj-vj~5638803) - Location: Lafayette, CA - Photos: 2 - [Mid-Century Makeover \| Lafayette CA](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mid-century-makeover-lafayette-ca-pj-vj~5638805) - Location: Lafayette, CA - Photos: 12 - [Regal Ranch \| Lafayette CA](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/regal-ranch-lafayette-ca-pj-vj~5638819) - Location: Lafayette, CA - Photos: 28 - [Colonial Retreat \| Lafayette CA](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/colonial-retreat-lafayette-ca-pj-vj~5638820) - Location: Lafayette, CA - Photos: 6 - [Traditional Transformed \| Lafayette CA](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/traditional-transformed-lafayette-ca-pj-vj~5638807) - Location: Lafayette, CA - Photos: 7 [See all 28 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/general-contractors/lamorinda-construction-and-consulting-pfvwus-pf~1988173080) ## Video - [Company video](https://player.vimeo.com/external/1135416649.m3u8?s=9dc42567fa7432229bdfe89eb59831a5b118b974&oauth2_token_id=1384357804) ## Frequently Asked Questions **Are you licensed, bonded, and insured?** Yes, we are fully licensed.
