Lawrence and his crew were amazing at quickly remodeling our bathroom after major plumbing repairs. The work is wonderful, the price was very competitive but what really stood out was how transparent Lawrence was about the process and how easy it was to arrange the project with him.
Long over due review, but better than never. We had our kitchen renovated by L&R Contractors end of 2023-2024, and the entire experience was outstanding. From the start, Lawrence answered a ton of my questions, provided helpful guidance, and kept communication clear and consistent. The crew was professional, punctual, and respectful of our home as we have two young kids. Our new kitchen is both beautiful and functional, exactly what we envisioned. We’re thrilled with the result and highly recommend L&R Contractors to anyone considering a renovation.
This is our second time working with Lawrence and his team. They took on our kitchen renovation which included lots of main floor flooring, stairs, stair rail, linen closet and of course all the kitchen things (electrical, plumbing, appliances, backsplash) + demoing a few walls! They are so detailed, so professional and generally a joy to have around. You can tell each member of the team cares and has their own skill sets. No corners were cut, quite literally when I say they spent extra time perfecting our backsplash. The stair rail processes was amazing to watch as they custom made a replica of my inspo picture. The before and afters speak for themselves! Would absolutely recommend them, quality, communication and price wise.
Lawrence was nothing but professional, responsive and timely. After many bad experiences with other contractors performing poor work, going over time lines and throwing out ridiculous numbers while quoting. L&R was a breath of fresh air for this new home owner. We had a unfinished laundry room - transformed from a dark, cold, sad place to a light, bright, functional room. We had an odd space to begin with, random wood panels from the previous owner and no ceiling, or floors. A big thing for us was covering as much of our utilities as possible and they made that a reality.The team was courteous, communicated well with any questions, and always on time every morning. Our project was quoted for 8 days and everything was done by lunchtime on the 8th day which never happens with home projects. We would absolutely hire this team again and will be hiring again for a kitchen remodel later down the line.
Lawrence and his team surpassed our expectations. They were professional, detail oriented, timely and great value for money.Our project consisted of a kitchen renovation for which we used Siematic cabinetry and Miele / SubZero appliances. It involved some major structural changes, such as removing a low bearing wall, moving piping and electrics. L&R were our contractors.As in any big project, problems arose. Lawrence's team were resourceful, efficient and found solutions to EVERYTHING, even design issues that should have been dealt with by the kitchen company. No drama. We found that those extra jobs we asked them to additionally carry out were done flawlessly and priced at a fair rate.Lawrence was incredibly responsive and the best communicator we have come across in a renovation project (this is our third kitchen renovation and we have remodeled other properties). His team is reliable, respectful, super clean and pleasant to have around. This mattered because we did not move out during the renovation, and certain hygiene measures had to be taken because of the pandemic. All in all it was a great experience. We would most certainly recommend Lawrence and L&R.
