We hired Lamp to add a laundry/mudroom to our carport, resigned/remodeled the layout of the kitchen and added a small party off the kitchen. We loved the fact that they were local and did in house design services with an architect and draftsman on staff. We love our new additions and kitchen redesign. Great staff and crew, it was a pleasure working with these guys!

I hired Lamp to build me a workshop. Came out exactly as I wanted and on budget. Recommend Matt and his skilled workers to everyone I know needing home improvements or a new garage.

When my husband and I decided to do a kitchen remodel we didn't know where to begin. Fortunately our neighbor told us about Lamp, Design, + Build. We are absolutely in love with our new kitchen! All the attention to detail from Matt and his team was phenomenal. They offer great customer service, quality work, and reliability that was second to none. We highly recommend anyone looking to do any work on their home to go with Lamp.

We are using Lamp Design Build to do a major renovation of our home and are currently over half way through the project. It is coming along very nicely. They have worked with us to get the most out of our budget, provided great recommendations in designing the project, and are very satisfied with the quality of work. From the office staff to the onsite workers, everyone has been a pleasure to work with.

Hired Lamp Design Build to do major renovations after an a/c leak in the attic when we were out of town. They came in very quickly and helped with every part of getting things repaired and livable again. They made every effort to reduce the stress on us in such a bad situation. They worked professionally and quickly with all aspects. The work was beautiful. We truly dont know what we would have done without them. Would definitely use them again! Recommend them very highly!

We first hired Lamp Properties to do a bed and bath addition at our home. We were looking for a turn key contractor that could provide both architectural and general contracting services. In other words, a single point of contact to handle all issues and to take full accountability for the project. From brain storming on how to maximize our budget and available space to quickly getting permits filed Lamp Properties repeatedly demonstrated a high degree of competency and customer service. In fact, they did such a great job that we also hired them do several additional projects including a free
