I used Lorrien Homes & Remodeling for a complete rehab on the second floor of my 1930’s split level home. With a significant number of crazy roof lines, and a brick wall to be cut out for a large arched window, this project was a bit of a challenge. The idea was also to incorporate a new build with a lot consistency to the original build of the period.
Lorrien Homes did a fantastic job of bringing the vision to life, with quality craftsman, focus on detail, and outstanding communication. Every day I was in the loop of what was happening, if we had any little bumps, if so how they were going to be resolved, and what to expect going forward. Frankly it was everything you hoped for, but never would have thought to expect.
I can’t say enough good things about Lorrien Homes and their crew.

Comment from Lorrien Homes & Remodeling:
Thank you Brad for the opportunity to work on your home. We were thrilled to execute this remodel - the homeowner, the architect, and the designer were all of one mind with a very detailed design vision for the finished space. And the more challenging the project - the more thrilling for all of the Lorrien Homes craftsmen who worked on this exemplary period piece - masons, carpenters, tile setters, electricians, plumbers, lighting specialists, radiator specialists, and painters. As with any quality remodel - all of the detail from the existing first floor space continues seamlessly into the remodeled 2nd floor: door profiles, baseboard and casing profiles, vintage door hardware, cabinet styles, stain colors, plaster patterns, tile finishes, etc. The designer and architect did an incredible job of optimizing the space by the use of multiple pocket doors, and building cabinetry into the sloped ceiling and walls. The designer did a masterful job of implementing the use of light and color to enhance the space through an advanced lighting package, rich and vibrant wall coverings, incorporating an advanced yet complimentary lighting package, and a custom sectional wooden blind system for the massive radius window set in the master bedroom. Lastly, the dry sauna and radiant tile floor were just the right finishing touches to create this ode to an olde-world European Hotel suite.

The attic Master Suite Renovation project was my first time working with Lorrien Homes. The project consisted of gutting the existing attic space and replacing it with a new master suite with full bath, sauna, office, exercise room and new stair. There were many tricky details and odd ceiling conditions to coordinate, but Lorrien Homes took those issues in stride.
As an architect, I've worked with many different contractors and Lorrien Homes ranks up there with the best. Dana Dunbar, the owner, was very responsive during the bidding, construction and final close out phases. He was on the jobsite many days during the week directing his crew or installing items himself. His crew and subcontractors are top notch craftsmen.
I highly recommend Lorrien Homes for your next construction project.

Comment from Lorrien Homes & Remodeling:
It's on projects such as this one, where we realize we're very fortunate to work with the best architects and designers in St. Louis. The sign of a good architect: (1) construction drawings that accurately capture existing conditions and reflect accurate measurements, (2) construction drawings that accurately reflect the appropriate version of the IBC, and (3) the willingness to work with the General Contractor in the field to ensure proper execution of the project. Chris gets 4 stars on all three counts. This was a truly collaborative project that exceeded our client's expectation.

We started our project by speaking with several contractors and settled on Lorrien Homes, partly from a personal recommendation, but also for Dana’s honesty about what he could do for us. Our upstairs remodel would not be considered a “big” job but we never felt slighted. Dana and his team were very respectful of our home & professional at all times. We loved the detailed timeline and were in the loop throughout the project. Dana was here at the start and end of almost every day to make sure the job was progressing & addressing any concerns we had. We LOVE the end result and have no hesitation recommending Lorrien Homes to anybody looking for a contractor.

Comment from Lorrien Homes & Remodeling:
Thank you for the gracious review. But a good client/general contractor relationship is dependent on mutual respect - which is achieved through regular and thorough communication. In this project, our clients were with us every step of the way - providing a well thought out design, staying within their budget with their finish selections, and being available every day to discuss progress on the project, and providing additional input as required. We don't like to brag - even though my Dad told me "it's not bragging if it's fact" - the Behnen's were just great clients. Thank you for the opportunity.

My family had Lorrien Homes manage our kitchen and living room remodel and update. We were very impressed with the detailed schedule and timeline Dana provided and even more pleased with how the professionals adhered to the timeline, especially with the pandemic and a packed work schedule themselves. We have three small children and a hectic household, so it was great to be able to rely on the days and times provided. The individuals who performed the work were respectful and diligent, wearing masks inside at all times.
The finished product was exactly what we had hoped for. Lorrien, and Dana specifically, has a high standard of workmanship and great attention to detail, and we would absolutely recommend them.

A shout out to all of our clients - you've all been so cooperative in allowing us to install all CDC recommended protocols on our work sites. But there are certain standards that will never alter - the quality of our craftsmanship and our adherence to our construction timeline. Pandemic or no pandemic - we continue to meet our construction commitments.

A leaking refrigerator was the impetus for our kitchen renovation, which then led to the decision to renovate our entire 2-story home. Lorrien Homes was recommended to us for this extensive renovation project and we were thoroughly pleased with the results. The entire project was completed in a professional, well-organized, and meticulous manner. Dana treated our home like he would his own. He worked with us every step of the way, provided us with daily updates, utilized his team of skilled and professional subcontractors, promptly addressed all our questions and concerns, provided a detailed accounting of all expenses and most importantly completed the project on time and within budget. We had a truly seamless renovation experience and would recommend Lorrien Homes for its exceptional service and workmanship.

Comment from Lorrien Homes & Remodeling:
It's been our experience that communication is the great foundation for a successful whole house renovation project. And the entire team on this project - client, designer, general contractor, sub-contractors, suppliers - were in sync every step of the way. We used face-to-face meetings, emails, texts and telephone calls every day, thus ensuring that we were all on the same page. We were further aided by our client's investing of themselves extensively in the "design process", and then sticking with the final design through the "construction process". This is the critical step in staying on budget. This project was truly a TEAM effort.

Having worked with Dana on several design projects, I know I can rely on him to expertly finish a project with great attention to detail. He communicates clearly about project details and budgets, and is very hands-on and accessible. I would highly recommend Dana and his crew for your next construction project.

I cannot say enough about the Job Dana and Lorrien Homes did for my whole house remodel. I purchased the home (built in 1968) with the intent to do a whole house remodel. Dana was there from the start and we put our plan together. This included a complete gut of the kitchen, 2 bathrooms, removing walls and all wood flooring through the home, crown and baseboard throughout the house, all new interior doors, etc. Dana's consistent communication and willingness to adjust/rethink made this project go extremely smooth. He laid out a detailed project plan and stayed right on schedule. He began the effort at the start of Sept 2017 and I was in the home the week following Thanksgiving. Dana is a true professional and his work is very exacting and detailed. I would recommend Dana and his company without reservation. Thanks so much Dana!

Our client was instrumental in the expeditious execution of this project. He was actively involved in the day-to-day decision making from framing to finish material installation. All of the Lorrien Homes team members developed a strong relationship with Bill that further enhanced the spirit of the project as well as the quality of the final design. We strive to keep an open line of communication between all of our team members and the client. And this project was a perfect example of the benefits of that kind of positive working relationship. We appreciated the opportunity to work on Bill's new home - and we can say unequivocally - it truly does feel completely new.

We could not have been happier with our experience with Lorrien Homes, especially Dana Dunbar. Dana and his team members do outstanding work and are professional, knowledgeable and courteous. They were respectful of our home and schedules - especially while we were remodeling our kitchen (we have three small children, so it's hard to be without a kitchen for long!). They were very transparent with costs and worked with our budget. Dana made sure I had a contact person for every vendor/decision and without exception, his vendors were helpful and knowledgeable. Dana constantly updated us as the renovation progressed and wanted to make sure we were highly satisfied. My husband and I are thrilled with our house and highly recommend Dana and his team. We looking forward to working with them again!

Comment from Lorrien Homes & Remodeling:
The key to this project was the collaborative efforts of our client, designer and craftsmen. There were a multiplicity of design and construction elements that had to be properly executed to seamlessly meld the existing with the new. There was a significant amount of design input provided by all of the Lorrien Homes craftsmen: carpenters, tile setters, multi-media installers, specialty cabinet renovators, and painters. It is that professional approach of all our craftsmen - who design and execute - that distinguishes the Lorrien Homes Team. And of course, we continue to be blessed with incredible clients who are a joy to work with - so a big thank you to Todd and Karen! They have a great design eye, and were very definitive in their decision making, which made the whole process run smoothly.

I have been working with Dana and his team for many years now. As Dana's countertop subcontractor it is imperative to have good communicate throughout the project. Dana does a fantastic job with me on the front end making selections with clients and an equally fantastic job going over details once the slab work gets into production. Dana always gives our scheduling department plenty of time and notice which help lessen any downtime between subcontractors. All the communication and attention to detail makes for a smooth job and we all know when jobs go smoothly....clients are happy! Dana and his Lorrien Homes team are always a pleasure to work with.

Comment from Lorrien Homes & Remodeling:
We are very deliberative in identifying the craftsmen that we invite to become members of the Lorrien Homes Team. Our guiding principle is to align ourselves with individuals that have the same to commitment to quality workmanship, and over-the-top customer service, that we have toward our clients. And Steve Stutko, as well as the entire team at Stone Fabricators, have that same attitude "in spades". They never falter in their commitment to our clients. Their product line is extensive, they are experts in all facets of stone fabrication, they always place the customer first, and they stand firmly behind their product and service.

The Lorrien Homes team brought our vision for our bathroom and closet to a reality. Our bathroom was stuck squarely in the mid 90's and now we have a clean updated space that combines a large bath area with a spacious custom walk-in closet. Dana brought a level of professionalism along with high quality trades to complete the project.

I worked with Lorrien Homes to build a wine cellar but in a more non-traditional way because I wanted to have a more 60's/70's vibe to the room since it leads out to the pool area. Dana and his team did an incredible job helping me to design the room and get the components that I was looking for but also achieve the style of the room that I wanted. I was only going to build the wine cellar in stone but Dana suggested the entire wall and I can't imagine that it would have looked nearly as good if I hadn't put the stone on the whole wall. Dana utilized Corey Lamp for the wine drawers and the two of them came up with the wood niches that are lighted for the magnums, which ultimately became a highlight of the cellar. Dana is extremely involved in every detail of the project which was very comforting because I really did not have to worry about anything. He had great ideas and makes sure everything is done to perfection!! I would hire Lorrien Homes for all future projects and have recommended them to some of my best friends.

This was a truly collaborative project where the Lorrien Homes team of craftsmen drew on the vision of our client, applied our years of experience, and created a wonderful new space that is beautiful in its form and function. And as with all of our remodel projects, it's essential that the new space meld seamlessly with the existing space. This is a "one of a kind" Wine Cellar that our "one of a kind" client will enjoy forever.

Lorrien Homes & Remodeling just completed an extensive remodel of our home.
We were very impressed with the attention to detail and craftmanship with which they executed the project. From proposal to the daily and weekly updates - they managed the costs, budget and kept us informed all along the way.
From day one - they handled our project with professionalism - like it was their own home. We had project challenges along the way and they handled each and every one exceptionally well. And we are living in another state while the project was done. We had that much confidence in Lorrien. We love how beautiful our home turned out and we are impressed with the results of their work.
I feel very confident recommending Lorrien Homes & Remodeling. They are exceptional.

We seem to be blessed with a portfolio of wonderful projects, and equally special clients. In this instance, we executed the design, planning and construction activities with a client who is based in California. Through the use of on-line planning and design tools, in addition to our invaluable cell phones, we completed the project on time, and in strict adherence to the client's vision. It was just a completely enjoyable experience that tested our communication skills, and made us even better listeners to ensure we were meeting our client's expectations on a daily basis.
It should be noted that there two distinctive design features that have become the envy of all the other home owners in this high rise condominium building: (1) we dropped a coffered ceiling down from the existing ceiling in the living room which created a very cozy feel to the space and became a visual "wow" when you entered the front door, and (2) we installed "skinny" brick on two walls of the living room which gave the room a retro chic feel to the space and gave it a unique finish in terms of color and texture.
